*** 2011 YEAR END RE-CAP ***

- January-February, 2011 -

Towards the end of January, the weather got better and so I decided to take a swipe at the STM (Slave Transport   Module), and just check it out for size.  It needed some cleaning of the exterior and eventually, it'll be properly painted and polished, then all the structural members and restraint hardware mounts will be placed, together with the e-stim cables, vacuum and breathing air hoses and their connections, then the foam liner and assorted straps will be added.

In February, I was busy in the work shop creating new toys and modifying the existing ones, with the thought that I'd soon get to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Towards the end of February, I'd been asked to do a presentation at RASCAL'S and so had a long-time friend over from The Island to be my demonstrator/victim.

- March-April, 2011 -

I made what seems to have become the first of my semi-annual pilgrimages to SFO and in the left pic, I'm trying out one of the incredibly well-made Discipline/isolation hoods made by TOP-TO-BOTTOM LEATHERS in the UK.  WOW!  I want one of those as soon as I can get my little cabbage clutchers on one :-).

I got the chance to do a suspension scene at SERIOUSBONDAGE and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  It wasn't long enough, but I knew I'd get another chance soon.

Sometime in mid-April, my semi-annual book was published by PINK FLAMINGO PUBLICATIONS and was happily received I've been told.

I got to meet and play with a lovely lady, JULIA FAIRE, at a friend's place in Corona, CA, then a couple of days later, continued the road trip to Phoenix and Tucson, AZ.  In Tucson, I visited the Pima County Air Museum and enjoyed seeing all the airplane porn.

From Phoenix, it was back to LA and more photo-shoots with friends and beautiful ladies.  We had a lot of laughs and got in quite a few shoots over the three days we were there, as can be seen in the sample images below.

The ladies were most cooperative and enjoyed the shoots also, I think.  As can be seen, a few wanted to be placed in The Creature and I was more than happy to oblige.

ASHLEY RENEE  and I got to connect again.  She is a lovely, adventurous and smart lady who has no problems trying something new.  From there, it was back up the I-5 to SFO for more fun and games at Mark's place.

I got another chance to play in TC while doing a photo-session, this time with a doubled winch system that worked really well.  DALTON OTT and RUBBERT were a great help and have my sincerest thanks for all their work and patience.

From there, it was time to drive home and get back into the work shop and Whine Cellar for more creation and a little play time.  I was home for only 5 weeks, then climbed into the silver bird and headed for Munich, Germany to attend BOUNDCON, 2011.

- May-June, 2011 -

I soon hooked up with my good friends, Cordula and Juergen of CAPTURED TABBO'S and we shared a booth at the show.  It was wonderful to again meet them and the other many friends I've made over years.

BARONESS BIJOU, in the left pic, is always a pleasure to meet and chat with, then in the middle pic, Pupett and her husband and I got to meet again.  The right side pic shows an incredibly inventive costume worn by one of the attendee's and its wings can be spread quite wide and are really impressive.

Left pic is another friend, JACKY-LINE, and as always she is a stunning and exotic beauty.  In the middle and right pix, Cordula and I get a chance to pose with a bed made by a German gentleman.  THIS bed is something else!  I definitely would like to own one of them :-).

Again, I had fun showing off some of my gear to an interested lady and she soon discovered how evil I am :-).  I stayed a few more days with Cordula and Juergen, then quit bothering them and jumped on the train to Amsterdam to go and see another long-time friend, MISTRESS MADIEANNE and her guy, Eric.

While staying with them, I had a chance to go and at last meet some friends in Rotterdam and shared a most delightful afternoon and evening with them.  They have a lovely, well-equipped play room on the top floor of their home.  I also got a chance to go and visit BIZARRE DESIGN at its new location and it was good to spend some time with Jeronen, the owner.

Madieanne has been teasing and threatening me for a few years, saying that she'd always wanted to get me in TC and torment me for a while; indicating that if I surrendered myself to her tender mercies, she'd make sure the voyage I took at heir hands would be a most interesting one.  It was and I hope we can play again.

  So, of course, being the sensation slut I am, I happily agreed to let her do her worst.  The afternoon passed in a blaze of flashing lights and very intense sensations administered by this skilled and evil-minded lady.  If you're ever in Amsterdam and 'feel the need for speed' ... check in with Madieanne.

Then, it was back on the train and off to Dusseldorf to visit more friends there.

PUPETT is another long time friend and she and Michael had very graciously invited me to come and visit them at their home.  It was a great pleasure to be able to spend time with them and, hopefully, they will come to visit ME sometime in the coming year.

RUBBER'S FINEST, in the Dusseldorf area, had asked if I would be interested in doing an on-camera interview, and of course, being the ham I am (sometimes the whole pork roast), I was more than happy to do it.  If you've not already seen the interview and are interested, the English language version can be seen at: http://rf-tv.tv/studio-interviews/jg-leathers-english-version.  From there it was off to Frankfurt and then the air plane ride back home, via a three day stop in Brantford, Ontario.

In June some friends from Stockholm came for a brief visit and we did some messing around with assorted clothing, harness and bits of ironmongery.

- July-August, 2011 -

In early July, we had our first couple of guests arrive from Scotland and were happy to reconnect with them again. DRUIDIC GODDESS is the lady and a most creative and skilled person, to say nothing of her lovely personality.  We'd met them at GEETWO's home the year before, and had a great time when they came for two weeks, doing all sorts of vanilla adventures and kink.

It had been since February since I'd done anything at all with the STM and so when the opportunity came along to do some more experimentation, I took advantage of it, as I have been know to do on occasion :-).

Being the lovely lady she is, DRUIDIC GODDESS  allowed me to bung her into The Creature and was soon exploring what it could do both TO and FOR her.

Of course a trip over to see RUBBERT and LADYM at their lovely home was a necessity, and there, I got to see the newly-installed swing/suspension bar that we'd designed and they'd just erected.  Needless to say, a party soon happened.

As always, Rubbert soon had an interesting cast of characters on hand and the lawn and desk were soon littered with all sorts of strange but happy activities.

The rest of the Summer (a crappy one here in the Lower Mainland) passed in relative quiet, but I had other projects going.

- September-October, 2011 -

After purchasing a pair of new lace-up, lady's, Victorian-style mid-calf length boots at BoundCon, I got inspired to design and have created a 'Spanish Riding Mistress' ensemble to go with them.  I received it from my TV/kink-friendly, local seamstress at the beginning of September (left pic).

In the middle and right pix ...  for many years I've wanted to get what I considered to be the final addition to the Horse Man/Horse Woman version of The Creature harness and so, finally purchased a set of what are known as horse 'hames', then did a trial mounting of them.

Another project that had been sitting in the work shop and staring accusingly at me was the re-engineering of the Rippler Tube; this version with non-corroding, aluminium electrodes, and that too was soon taken care of.

Soon thereafter, the next set of our great Scottish friends arrived ... the newly-married GRIMLY_FEENDISH and his lady, THISGIRLSUB.  They'd gotten engaged on our back deck a couple of years ago on their first visit, and we were greatly honoured that they decided to come and spend their month long honey moon with us.

As an added benefit, with all the assorted local traveling around, we were soon off down the road to attend the 2011 FOLSOM FAIR in SFO and meet my friends there.

It wasn't long before Mark had us all engaged in kink activities of one sort ort another and the parties started almost as soon as we arrived.

Thisgirlsub was soon encased in a rubber straight jacket and when that got tiresome, was packed into a full body, canvas sleep sack (made by MAXCITA) and hung upside down for some quiet time.  The next day was the FOLSOM FAIR and I spent an hour and a half getting dressed.

You've no doubt seen the the above pix before, but here's the outfit I wore to the Fair.  It certainly garnered a lot of attention and probably a thousand pix were taken of me.  Thank God that Dalton was my 'spotter' for the event.  After 5 hours of wearing the 70 pound outfit, it was time to go back to Mark's place, get it ff and have a needed shower, cigarette and a beer or five.

Grimly and Thisgirl made a big splash at the Fair as well and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Believe it or not, she wore those pony boots for almost the whole time.  Wow!

Two days later, we all went up to a place called Twin Peaks, where there's a wonderful panorama view of the entire SFO basin.  Needless to say, it was packed with tourists, and THAT day, they certainly got more than they bargained for in terms of SFO weirdness.  When we were done there, it was back to Mark's for more silly stuff out on his deck.

After our stay in SFO it was time to get on the highway and move north.  I'd promised Grimly a couple of full doses of airplane porn (as Thisgirl describes it) and so the first stop was the Evergreen Air and Space Museum at McMinnville, OR.

We 'did' the Museum in fine style, then it was back into the van and up the road to stay at DOCTOR BLACK and FREDERICKA's  lovely home for a night before heading off to the Boeing Museum of flight in Seattle.

It was nice to see that they have an RCAF, F-86 Saber, jet fighter on display (top Left), then I got to sit in the cockpit of an SR-71 Blackbird.  It was sort of sad to see the Concord sitting out on the ramp rather than flying, but nice to see the Lockheed Super Constellation there, even though the aircraft SHOULD have stayed in Canada.

After returning home, we had a day to unpack, do laundry and re-pack for the next leg of the journeys ... over to visit RUBBERT and LADY M on Vancouver Island.

A lovely lady friend, MSPENTYOUTH was soon restrained in some pretty comprehensive steel gear and being so petite was definitely a whole lot of eye candy, as can be seen in the pix above.

I finally got a chance to wear ny new ensemble and at the same time to keep the lady properly controlled.  Needless to say, it was a fun afternoon in many ways.

Further fun and games were soon being engaged in and the incredibly talented Henry brought out some of his newest creations to be enjoyed by the willing ladies.

MSPENTYOUTH was quite happy in her restricting equipment and so dinner time that night was a whole lot of laughs.  As can be seen, NAUGHTY V seemed a little surprised by the efficiency of the cup and MSPENTYOUTH found them of passing interest as well :-).

Naturally, Grimly and Thisgirl wanted to experiment with another of Rubbert's increasing collection of toys and she was soon fitted with his 7-point restraint device ... another creation by Henry.

The next day, some dressage training was on the agenda and LadyM and Thisgirl were soon out on the lawn and doing horesy stuff.

The Swing/Suspension Bar was the next thing to be tried and once you're up, there's no getting out of it.  In the right side pic is a rough sketch I did for Henry, after suffering a rush of shit to the brain, of a 'hot walker' (horse exerciser) and that too may soon come to Rubbert's 'paddock'.  Of course, if it does, I want to try it out!

The first time I'd seen one of these devices was a way back in 1980, in California, then had actually employed one when I did the PONY GIRLS AT THE RANCH video's AWAY back in 1985.

Another lovely victim lady, HIS_LUPA, fell into my hands, thanks to LYONSLAYR, and was soon experiencing the Horse Woman harness, next a gas mask and collar, then was strapped down on Rubbert's hospital bed and getting some 'therapy'.  A lot of fun for us all.

We headed back to The Mainland and as it was drawing near to the end of the honeymoon couple's happy stay with us, we needed to do a photo-shoot of the bride in what many visitors here would consider the 'proper' bridal ensemble ... white gown and steel restraints.

This was a fun shoot to do for us all, despite the steel equipment, and Grimly looks as pleased as can be imagined to have such a lovely lady in his possession.  They are BOTH lovely people and great friends and have, quite literally, become part of our growing family of kinks.

Thisgirl, foolish lady that she is, wanted to play again in TC, and so I was happy to assist, get her all set up in the Whine Cellar, then leave her to endure some fun at the hands of her new husband.  Right pic ... if that ain't a shit-eating grin, then I've never seen one :-)!

ThisGirl had told me, and me her, that 'turn about is fair play' and so the next day, it was MY turn to get into TC and surrender myself to her for a (she would say) well-deserved revenge session.  It was an intense, but very good time for me and Thisgirl certainly got her chance to do her worst.

On their last night with us, we had a small dinner party with local friends and of course the usual range of silliness was enacted just to get some laughs.  Getting together with our friends for social gatherings is a nice way to share all of the mutually pleasurable pursuits we enjoy.

And so, that was the end of their visit and we were very sad to see them go.  Hopefully they will soon return and perhaps on a more permanent basis.

It was time for me to attend to another project in the work shop.  I got busy with the SYBIAN Pedestal re-engineering and soon had the preliminary machining completed and a trial assembly done.

In mid-October, PINK FLAMINGO PUBLICATIONS released the second of my semi-annual books and it too seems to be appreciated by folks who've read it.

- November-December, 2011 -

In early November, my friends from the North Shore had said that one of these days they'd like to get a cage made and I said that I could do it for them at a reasonable price.  Soon, a sketch was done and the size determined, then I got busy in the shop.  The cage was soon completed and has since been delivered and happily used.

Once that was done, it was time to move to the final assembly of the SYBIAN pedestal and that took place one quiet afternoon.  As can be seen, it's a pretty substantial piece of kit.  When the 'long throw' jack is fully extended, the saddle for the Sybian is at least 48" off the floor.  Now, it sits quietly in a corner of the Whine Cellar, awaiting its first 'victim'.  Hopefully some curious lady will fall into my hands in the year to come :-).

With Rubbert now having the Swing/Suspension Bar mounted, I hope to be able to do some high suspension on it, in TC.  However, to do it properly, I needed air hose, vacuum hose and e-stim cables long enough and so undertook to create both a 'manifold' and an 'umbilical' to permit this to happen.  I now also have a portable vacuum pump and controller and will soon be building a panel that can be carried with me, as well.

The next project to be completed was inspired by Grimly on his first visit a couple of years ago ... a video goggle/gas mask combination.  I'd let this one lay fallow for a couple of years while my subconscious chewed over the concept, then with another rush of creative endeavour, soon had this newest piece designed and built.

Above, left, is a pic of my rather small work shop.  The middle is a sketch of the new, dual electrode system that I use occasionally with my LATOWSKI chastity belt and the left pic shows the actual device and arrangement of the internal and external electrodes.  The sensations are WILD, to say the very least.

The dual system, each set of electrodes being separately controllable, is a WILD experience. The internal set creates a completely different set of sensations than the external electrode set and when combined ... well, I can see Jesus :-).

And above, a few more pix to show how it all goes together and can be combined with a bi-polar butt plug.  Everything is fine ... until the e-stim is activated :-).

Here's what the whole ensemble looks like in final assembly.  It's secure, safe and a completely different type of chastity experience.

And so, there you have it for the year past and I hope you've enjoyed the rather sketchy coverage.  There will be more detailed articles in 2012 of the trips and adventures of 2011.

*****************************

ANNA ROSE & HER NIPPLE JEWELLERY

Above, you can see the component parts of Anna's Nipple Bar and the accessories that come with it for leashing and restraint.  It's obviously a seriously-intentioned device.

The presentation case and Anna showing it off.  She's already been fitted with a range of other comprehensive gold restraint and control rings and wears them proudly, all the time, although the Nipple Bar is reserved for special occasions, for, once locked through her nipples, it's not easily removable.

The length of the Bar had to be determined before manufacture: i.e. it had to fit correctly, but at the same time, be designed to ensure that she was constantly aware of it being fastened into her body.  Being fitted with a device like this obviously prevents the wearing of a bra and so when her breasts move when she does, the Bar makes itself felt quite intensely.

The first fitting was a little challenging, but Anna went ahead, first inserting the end posts into her nipples, then getting ready to fit the Bar between them.

It took a little fiddling to manage, but soon the solid, thick-gauged pin was through the flesh and being tightly screwed into the Bar.  You'll of course note the rings at the ends and the one in the middle.

The Bar is now fully and securely mounted. transfixing her nipples and because it's gold, its weight is immediately apparent.  In the right picture, Anna raises her hands and arms (thus changing the muscular structure), to feel the tug and restriction of the Bar and it looks to be somewhat disconcerting.

Now, a little more accustomed to it being locked in place, Anna gets dressed, again feeling the Bar move and pull with each change of position.

What does it feel like, and to know that your breasts are so strictly-controlled and now vulnerable to being easily leashed?  You'll have to ask her yourself :-).  Just that knowledge alone is a turn-on for her, from the looks of things.

The translucent rubber blouse doesn't conceal the presence of the Nipple Bar, as is intended, but makes plain that Anna's breasts are controlled by a rigid bar between them.

Then, a couple of days later, below, the Bar is used in earnest.

Anna presents herself for some experimentation, holding the Bar ready for use by her Husband and Owner, who immediately requires that she fit it to herself.

This time, the nipple posts are quickly passed through and the bar is emplaced.  A corset makes the device even more strongly experienced and soon she's wearing it again, wondering what is to come next.

"It feels good." she appears to be thinking, "But even a little finger hooked under the Bar will be both painful and VERY controlling.  I won't be able to resist!"

It's time to get serious with the new jewellery and obvious that Anna is beginning to feel more than a little apprehensive about its employment, other than for decorative purposes.

The column with the light (but substantial enough!) chain, immediately garbs her attention when she's urged to go and stand by it.  With all the rings embedded in her most sensitive flesh, the various possibilities for her restraint and control are frightening

In short minutes, Anna has been secured.  It's a multi-point fastening arrangement that employs her Septum Ring, Nipple Bar, Labia Rings and an assortment of chain leashes.  Even though her hands are momentarily free, she cannot move without feeling an athoritive tugging on her most sensitive flesh and knows, without a doubt, that she's controlled by her Husband and cherished for being his wife and possession, despite his demands that she wear the restraint jewellery she's always fitted with.

The gentleman responsible for supplying the inspiration for the above article has also had one made for his lady and made a small modification to the basic excellent design. adding in what he describes as 'rounders' ... these to eliminate excessive discomfort of the nipple tissue and thus allow, as he describes it, more 'aggressive' play :-).  Here's a couple of pix of what he's done.

I think these are an excellent modification, but being the inveterate 'bastardizer' I am, another thought came to mind ... why not do an additional modification ... :-)?  Here's a couple of rather poor sketches below of my own 'rush of shit to the brain' :-).

Anna is a most adventurous lady and has my deepest admiration for following both her own dreams and those of her husband.  Well done indeed!

And, one last thing, added just before this upload, my "Writing Muse" has not departed as I thought was the case, back in November, but has re-appeared and from the 28th to today, I've managed to get some 17,000 words down for a new story, with a working title of "SEVERE INCARCERATION".  As you know, I've considerable experience in designing and creating this type of scenario both in fictional form and reality, so this one looks to be something else :-).

It'd going to be about 25 chapters in length and the word flow is strong, so I'll no doubt be buried in a writer's funk for some time yet.  Always a good thing for an author :-).
