Listen, babe... ankh156 February 25 2007, 22:43:00 UTC

Call yourself 'bondage mistress' - it's grammatically more 'correct', and anyway... it's sexier.

Dig ?

LOL! fiveonzefive February 25 2007, 22:56:35 UTC

> 14. the ability to not make others break out in hysterical laughs the moment they see me.

Re: LOL! sokkmonkey February 26 2007, 03:55:56 UTC

HA!
yeah, that was the first thing I thought too.
This would include thingsllike a pony tail tied in leather cord, or the "bloatee"; that's a goatee for men who need the faicial hair to define where their neck ends and chin begins.
This includes 15, and to expand that if you have ANY part or parcel of your renaissance fair costume on you are automatically disqualified from any title other than dice geek.

You win.

blaze_la February 25 2007, 23:24:11 UTC

Heh.

This is why my business card reads, "Bondage Engineer."

Point-by-point:

1. a complete knowledge of the various bondage styles out there.

Absolutely, though I'd rewrite it a little:

1. A comprehensive grasp of the aesthetic and mechanics of the various bondage styles.

2. complete history of bondage, including the history of where it came from, be it from tying up prisoners in historical japan, or the first time some creepy guy purchased duct tape for wrapping over his victim's face.

Ok, sure, but this is extreme. Required knowledge for a 'Bondage Master' can be limited to all available historical information. Of which there is LOTS.

3. knowledge of every knot done by man, their uses and purposes (which ones are made for easy release, which ones are for blocking, etc). i'm not talking a few, i'm talking all of them.

This doesn't make sense - bondage isn't about knots, it's about restraint.

4. sail.

Same here. What does bondage have to do with sailing?

5. celtic knots too!What about the other applications of weaving? Net ( ... )

kumimonster February 25 2007, 23:55:21 UTC

1. oh you go on with your fancy wording. i'm suffering too much jetlag at this point. !!!

2. why not be extreme? especially since, at the moment, i'm thinking of certain extreme examples of individuals that like to prove their Masterliness in mind.

3.Oh, yes. i should have clarified, i was refering to those that practice the rope arts . Though in my 'making fun of/rant' thing here, i'm also not explaining that most of the self-titled Masters i've met through my travels are usually those ShibariMaster types ( ... )

OT kumimonster February 25 2007, 23:57:14 UTC

where da hell you been to anyhoo?

i'm headed down to LA a bit
but massive amounts of working

Thursday though
i promised ian rath i'd take the day off for some korean bbq and to go see 300!

you guys around?

If you're going to list sailing, you should also add rock climbing...especially since that deals precisely with using knots in safely protecting, belaying and suspending a person.

And frankly I'd back off on requiring a knowledge of "all" knots known to man, since that's a scope that even Ashley couldn't achieve in his book, and new ones are being (re)invented all the time. Most knots don't apply well to bondage anyway. Knots are like a vocabulary. Like words, the more you know, the better you can express yourself, but you can never know them all. Besides, part of being a master in anything is in specialization. Doctors (including MDs, PhD., JDs, et al) and contractors, for example. A "master" lawyer doesn't need to know all laws.

Perhaps bondage riggers could have an association like the American (Spreader) Bar Association with a standard of minimum requirements, tests and currency benchmarks.

I'd also recommend membership in the International Guild of Knot TiersI also noticed that you don't have any stipulation on recency of ( ... )

kumimonster February 25 2007, 23:36:43 UTC

oh, rock climbing! good one. i add that.

ok. maybe not ALL knots. just the ones that are used in ALL forms of bondage and stuffs ;)
so is there a version of linguistics, but for knots?

>>Perhaps bondage riggers could have an association like the American (Spreader) Bar Association with a standard of minimum requirements, tests and currency benchmarks.... )

danarama February 26 2007, 00:54:43 UTC

Yes I've heard of both of these, but through other (credible) people and not directly from the model. Hollie Stevens herself, however, told me about another rigger in LA (not the one mentioned in the other incidents BTW) who dropped her on her head and caused serious neck damage.

People are starting to sue. I knew it was only a matter of time before this at-your-own-risk hobby would start to catch up to people. This is why you will never catch me publishing a BOOK about rope suspension. Too much liability.

oh come on!
you can use the name: Mighty Master of Malevolent Evil and DethrockyDom Dan!

The ability to put one's ego aside and pull down the riggee if needed - preferably before you get to nerve damage status.

Actually, let's have - ego goes comfortably through an average door way and still leaves room for others in the room. Bonus points for being able to laugh at yourself/share your fuck ups with others so that people can learn.

On the 'flogger kilt' side I propose a real bondage master tm would have at least 20 caribeeners and 10 skeins of hemp (or is it jute this year, I lose track) hanging off their belt loops.......

Oh and a distincy dislike of having to be called Master/Mistress anything and don't get me started on Nawa whatever...... (for those of non Japanese origin)
