La Belle Chanteuse

Another one I've been meaning to share. I guess this is blogger clean up week! This Chantuse, Alizée - was once referred to as the French Britney. But unlike Britney, there was no head shaving, rehab or flashing coochies. Although there was a look alike stripper took Alizee's routine to the next level... And most of us were fooled.

I'll say this, that stripper definitely could have been her double. Either way, all that served to keep interest in Alizée pretty high. Not that the real life Lolita's trademark animated gif of her famous dance wouldn't do that on it's own account. I mean, how famous is a dance when it ends up getting copied into the World of Warcraft game?

Anyway, the real Alizée got married, took a few years off from singing. Got pregnant, had a kid and I guess just generally enjoyed what her work and success brought her. But now she's back, and the song's not bad, and the video is definitely cute.Aarkeybabble : Alizée - la belle damme avec corsetAnd she's definitely still cute. And looks quite nice in a corset; though I'd vote for a smidge more tugging, but I'm greedy that way ;)

For those who want more, here's the video: "Mademoiselle Juliette" - it's got a bit of the good girl v bad girl thing going on, which isn't all bad - especially when the "good" girl is wearing a corset! Check it out on YouTube or Rapidshare Download.

Friendly Fire

I thought I had posted these here last week, but I guess I got sidetracked. Anyways, I did some screen caps from the Sean Lennon's DVD "Friendly Fire." It's really just a series of videos to match the songs off his 2006 album of the same name. It's not bad, not great, but not bad.Aarkeybabble : Lindsay Lohan plays a chain smoking unfaithful girlfriend in On Again, Off Again I really like the "On again, off again" song. There's something really genuine in it to me. The one line really stood out to me "If I can't hold you, somebody will" - and it echos to a line from Pearl Jam's "Black" that always got to me - "You'll be a sun in somebody else's sky."

Although I actually prefer the acoustic over the actual vid.Aarkeybabble : Asia Argento as a cigar smoking temptress in Dead Meat on Friendly FireSadly, I think Asia looks exhausted. But I'm not going to fail to take the time for some screen captures of a cigar smoking beauty in a corset. That would just be wrong ;)

Anyway, if you want to see the actual videos, they're here:

New "Faux Flogger" fashion accessory?

I hope this becomes a trend, because I like where fashion is heading with this one. I know it's not really a flogger, it's just a clip on set of tassels... but at a glance I thought Melinda Clarke was wearing a flogger on the hip of her oh so yummy classic black leather skirt. All in all, I think it's a great way to inspire my imagination ;)Aarkeybabble : Melinda Clark's faux flogger goes perfectly with that leather skirt.Thanks for the find knuffel!

C3 - Comic Con Chickas

Every year there is an event called "Comic Con" - which is one of those massive geek fun things. It's evolved over the years well past just being comics. It now incorporates Anime movies, and even just regular geeky TV shows. Lots of people dress up in their favorite costumes, and one thing for sure - not all Cosplay is created equal. Aarkeybabble : Cowboy Bebop - they even have the dog! And Faye is smoooookin!These little ladies were all at the 2008 Comic Con. I couldn't find any big picture galleries from 2009 to share... but these will do fine I suspect ;)
Aarkeybabble : Tifa is from the Final Fantasy series, and she'll kick yer butt!Want more? Just click these suns:

Question

Do any of you use that sharing "AddThis" icon at the bottom of each post? I'm finding it more and more annoying of late, and I just figured if ya'll care if I keep it or toss it out.

So please vote in the poll (on top right) and let me know. Tnx.

BTW, thanks for voting folks. There were 6:1 in favor of removing the widget, so alas... it's gone. Sorry for the few of you who wanted to keep it. If it had been anything near 50% in favor of it, I'd have kept it just since it wasn't a biggie... but alas, it wasn't. :-/

We are all exactly different.

I am going to repost (and elaborate) on a blog comment I made on Mistress Wynter's blog the other day. She had mentioned about how her scene interests don't necessarily mesh with her partners' (though he's a kinkster too.) And I remarked that it's been my experience that "People who aren't in the scene just don't get it. They think all kinksters fall into one group." And the fact is, I gotta take it back.

Just today I was reading over an e-mail exchange I was having with another fellow. We initially bonded over the common interest in chastity, but it seems that there are many similarities in our lives. And yet, some big differences. He considers himself a slave. I am a switch. What pushes his buttons to be of service, and his goals and dreams and desires both originate and manifest in very different ways from mine.

Aarkeybabble : Maitresse Madeline is wicked, controlling, dominant... and hot as all hell.As I was reading over his e-mail, I started to wonder more and more if I had at some point given him the wrong impression. So many of his sincere and heartfelt suggestions for greater understanding within my relationship, simply did not fit, had not fit and would likely never fit. And that's totally ok.

I'm always reminded of that. There is no black and white. There is no spoon. Whatever works for you, hey as long as everyone is adult and consenting, go have fun. But it's definitely not just folks who don't understand the scene in general. Sometimes it seems that we all have moments when our rose colored glasses slip down our nose, and we forget that our world view is ours alone. Sometimes it is easy to spot it. Whenever someone runs around and tells others that they aren't "real" life stylers, or who should appreciate what they have, or who shouldn't feel the way that they do. Ya know, shoulding on others is probably best left to consensual play. I don't like when people should on me and my life. I don't even should on myself that much anymore. It just ain't worth it.

Aarkeybabble : Sarah Michelle Gellar in Stockings with a Riding Crop.I can remember after my divorce when I was talking with a close friend and I came out to him that I was pretty kinky - and was into that "S&M kind of stuff" - he said "Oh have I got a girl you *HAVE* to meet."

I was reluctant, but he insisted she was "my type" and when contacted each other and she seemed cool, and what the hell. So we went out. And she was attractive. Physically she was my type. And she was kinky. Yup. Definitely kinky. She was into golden. Just loved pee. Giving, getting... her biggest fantasy was the idea of sitting in damp panties in the movie theater.

And just the idea that I might be sitting in someone's old pee when I'm at the theater still bugs me. Not a lot , but ya know... Gross. DO. NOT. GET.

And no, we didn't go out a second time.

The thing with kinksters is you take all the regular relationship ABC stuff and you try to match up all these extra lowercase ones. Every relationship has the: "morning person / night person" or "vegan / meat eater" or "clean freak / slob" battles. Then throw in kinks, and it's like "choking v spanking or golden v foot (dirty, clean, painted nails?) etc. Just how many divisions and subdivisions are there? A bazillion x 2 I think.

So I try to enjoy what I've got - and remember every once in a while not to be too big a pain in the butt. I'm sure it could be much worse ;)
Aarkeybabble : I wonder what shrinks will be charging hourly n 2025?

Devil Woman

Not to turn this blog into an extension of my YouTube account, but I had to pass along the work of Pirate Gendus Lavern. He is one of the regulars over at the KG forums and he did a great video compilation of Devil Women and I'm sure some of you will appreciate his effort.

Those wacky Japanese shows

What will they come up with next?

I think someone's on to me...

I'm starting to suspect that someone (who has enough money out there to make movies) is reading my blog and stealing my ideas. This heroine pretty much stepped straight out of this blog's "mission statement."Aarkeybabble : Cigarette Girl the movie - wow, talk about pushing my fetish buttons!Heck, as I haven't seen it, it might not just be pretty much... if she's ordering men into chastity belts at gun point I'd say I've got a real case here...

Oi.

Aarkeybabble : Cigarette Girl she'd kill for a smoke.I do suspect it's more likely that she's not ordering men into chastity belts, but is more of a femfatale type. Either way, like holy Gawd... this is like fetish button mashing to an absurd degree. A beautiful woman, a lovely black corset, long black gloves, raven black hair, red lipsticked pouty lips, heavy eyeliner... guns... femfatale, and smoking as a THE main focus?!?! "She'd kill for a smoke" is the damned tag line... I mean... wow. Gah... Eeeeeeep!

*dreamy sigh*

Want to find out more? Checkout the web page for "Cigarette Girl" it at - Guerilla Monster Films & their IMDB page.

Wow.

The actress is Cori Dials btw. Lets hope it makes a lot more than they planned and there's a sequel. Hell lets hope for a TV series on F/X!

Then again, according to the storyline she'd have to realize that killing doesn't do a good job to alleviate "the acute psychological withdrawal manifested primarily by the ghost of a cowboy who is always on her back to keep smoking"...

Daily Distraction #17 - double whammy!

I should not be looking at pictures *THAT* hot while locked up.Aarkeybabble : The editor at Le Smoking blog usually has same eye for smoking that I do.There really just is something so insanely hot about a tight fitting leather glove, and throw it on the hand of a pretty girl, give her a cigarette and well... pardon me while I find an ice pack!

Why, yes... I am going to hell

But I'll be laughing while I'm there!
Aarkeybabble : Hey, don't blame me - it's YOUR imagination that makes the pixels naughty.The world isn't really that sick, you just see it that way.

And even though ya'll are afraid to comment on this, I suspect some of you might want to see where this came from, it was the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Normally I think Paris Hilton is about as exciting as gas pains, but occasionally she surprises.

When someone sent me a link to a trailer video to 2008's "Repo! The Genetic Opera" - and there was a sassy dominatrix character with a Bettie Page / page boy hair cut, and a black leather corset... well my curiosity perked right up (which is about all that could perk up since I'm in my chastity belt.)Aarkeybabble : With the right light and the right outfit, Paris is not bad - but you can't always count on that light.And I'll hand it to her, in a corset with a bit of extra va-va-voom'n, Paris does have a nice figure sometimes - other times she looks like a bony 12 year old boy to me. And that's not my thing.

Paris is a rather polarizing figure it seems. I don't like her because of the "any publicity is good" attitude she ran with right to jail. Frankly, I thought that was negligent and irresponsible because of her position as a role model in society.

In fairness though, she's done pretty well to keep herself out of trouble (at least as far as I know) since that experience. So maybe I should cut her a bit of slack. Plus, she sure likes to dress all fetishy and she is a smoker. Heck, she's even been photographed smoking and making out at the same time - and that's damned hot! So her influences can't be all bad.Aarkeybabble : Paris Hilton - any woman who smokes while making out is ok in my bookBTW, the Repo! video is available on Netflix (though the reviews are pretty bad) - then again, I'm sure it's intended to be pretty bad in a Rocky Horror knock-off style.

For more info, here are some links: video, pictures, background.

Daily Distraction #16 - Finger Wagging

Finger wagging is something I've never shared about. And although I'm not into the humilation stuff, the whole "getting a good talking to" is definitely a hot fantasy. Throw in some HoH (Hand on Hip) and I'm in double trouble. Add in a nurse (doctors?) outfit, dark red lips and rubber gloves??? Well I had to share this one. Aarkeybabble : I suspect a prostate exam is going to be requiredI'm not sure what the diagnoses is, but I'm pretty sure a prostate exam is going to be required, followed by a series of enemas.

And maybe I'll have to be restrained since, well... since it's hot ;)

A "public" service

Voland sent this in a few days ago and I've been meaning to pass it along. Though there isn't anything kinky about it, I thought it was pretty interesting.

Meh

I've been in a real funk the last week or so. I don't know exactly what brought it on, but there have been a few things really adding to it. Either way, it's rare for me to be "in a mood" but I've been in one. And while I've always striven to keep this blog on the positive side of things (the glass... it's half full) - sometimes it's just that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

And with the fear that some of this might come out as a dig, particularly with regards to my love... I want to apologize in advance. I don't know where to go with it, but I need to just *vent*

So, if that all bores ya and brings you down, be happy with this picture here, and go ahead and skip to the bottom please.
Aarkeybabble : Strapon Dreamer is a bit cliche - and most of the guys seem pretty much right off a gay porn set, but at least the girls are smoking hot/bitchandmoanmodeon

So... I'm approaching my 40th. And I really feel like I haven't done anything all that spectacular with my life. Yah, it's cliche. But I look back at my 40 years and I sometimes think that the best thing I've done is survive. With not killing a couple of my ex's as a close second. I look at where I'm at with where I wanted to be, and it's not the same. That's life, right? Sometimes though I'd like to put in another quarter and just restart it.

In other news, I have truly and fully come to accept the fact that my relationship - though it's definitely has a lot of fun in it (as I'm sure you guys can attest) isn't anything like the kind of "lifestyle" relationship I had wanted to find after my divorce. While my love is a beautiful and adventurous woman, this week I truly and fully accepted and digested that what I have, is what it is. And I love her, and I enjoy the sparks when the come, even if there isn't any kind of actual day to day BDSM lifestyle about it. Sure, there are typically a few days in chastity when the monthly cycle clicks - and I relish that when it arrives - I don't delude myself about the realities. And it's ok. Really. It's a ton more ok than it used to be. The absence of it isn't personal, I know that. It just isn't where she's at. That might change, who knows. When we met 5+ years ago it was more there than it is now - maybe someday it will return more strongly. Til then, who knows. I have a great thing here, and I won't go being foolhardy about jumping off a cliff because there are a few clouds in the distance.

It's life. It's real. It's love. It's special. It's a gift. I know that. And I really believe that. And in my heart, I feel a great joy when I can just touch her soft skin as we fall asleep.

The last item really eating at me is trying to reconnect with an old friend. He's serving time... after 11 DUIs they get pretty tired of it. The thing is that our friendship ended shortly before he got trouble again. We've been friends since 1990, and he felt like I betrayed him. The fact was I couldn't betray another person's confidence to save my friend from his heartache. Not that even trying would've saved him, and the fact is I told him 6 different ways to Sunday that he was headed for hurt - but I just didn't slap him in the face with it. And he through away 15 years of friendship out of his bitterness. I grew to be pretty ok with that. But when his father passed last month, and they gave him a day pass to go to the funeral, it was awkward. And while I'd like to "be there for him" and write him a letter and what not... there's a part of me that really would like to tell him off first. So I'm a bit mixed about all that as well.

Anyways, I realize in the end, these are all pretty high class problems. But they're mine. And they have been eating at me this week. And I've been needing to vent it, so I did.

*shrug*

Aarkeybabble : Joan Jett in all her black leather and teased hair glory

A quick bit of story time

As some of you might have noticed, I don't talk quite as much about what's going on in my personal relationship all that often. My fiancee asked for me to be a bit more private about stuff, so I've respected that. But I gotta share this...

Aarkeybabble : When she says spread em, you better say how far!And time is limited, so I'm going to cut to the chase - after 5 days of chastity last week, she allowed me out for some fun time. I was only allowed to enter her half way as she got herself off. And then... back into the belt without release.

It was definitely one of the toughest and most intense nights I've ever spent in the belt. Strangely, I felt a bit like I had to pee constantly (which is the sign of a UTI) but she allowed me out of the belt for a couple hrs while we watched a movie, and after it was much more comfortable.

The next day I was bound to her massage table, hooded and gagged. A light spanking was followed with a feeldoe ravaging, and then, while she smoked a cigarette, she brought me to a fast and furious finish. It's been about a week and I'm still a bit bubbly inside about it all.

*dreamy sigh*

Yes folks, sometimes my life is *that* good. Aarkeybabble : Sometimes when it's smoking hot, you just can't deny it.
