Restrained Elegance Nights

Added 17-05-2012

Ariel has yet again broken the strict rules of her demoted position as the Restrained Elegance pet, so that's ten more strokes of whatever came to hand- in this case, a bare-bottom spanking. Still collared, cuffed, leashed and wearing nipple clamp bells, she was made to lap up her wine from her silver dog-bowl on the floor while the rest of us sipped ours from our glasses.

Feeding time, and Kate had cooked us all lovely fajitas. Of course, Ariel had to eat hers from her dog bowl, on the floor in front of us. Her insolence and disobedience of the strict rules of conduct resulted in several more punishments with the riding crop on her ass and the soles of her bare feet... especially when she started throwing her food around in a fit of petulance!

Restrained Elegance Nights

Added 17-05-2012

Pets do not get to sleep on the bed. I put Ariel to sleep on the floor, although as the nights were quite cold I allowed her a duvet.

I had left the camera in the room where she was sleeping... and she used it to record a plea to be restored to her resident-slavegirl-in-training position. But I don't think she has learned her lesson just yet, I think a longer period of atonement and re-training as the Restrained Elegance pet may be called for.

Hywel's Note: I don't want to spoil the fantasy for anyone, but neither do I want anyone thinking there is more reality to this than there actually is. Ariel and I discussed this fantasy before we played it out for you on camera, and of course we operate with safewords. Most of the ideas for the strict RE pet rules were Ariel's rather than mine! I thought I should probably say this because she looks so traumatised in the last bit of this video! We were going for a stark and scary look and we succeeded rather too well. She looks like a hostage in a real-life kidnapper video. That wasn't our intention, so apologies to those who find it a bit too dark or too harrowing. Please do remember that Ariel is an actress as well as a model and she wasn't anything like as terrified as the video might suggest, even though all the punishments you've seen were absolutely for real.

Please welcome the gorgeous Hannah to Restrained Elegance! Actually you should have been able to welcome her almost six months ago, but a combination of circumstances led to the shoot being put off several times. So I was in a fever of anticipation when I finally got to get my ropes around her! I could rave about how gorgeous she is... but just take a look at the photos for yourself! YUM! Even better, she was a complete bondage virgin, never been tied up before but really keen to try it...

What else would you use the spiral staircase for?

Added 16-05-2012

I ask you, what possible purpose could those spiral stairs have? It is as if they were MADE to have a gorgeous girl like Dolly chained to them to adorn and decorate the apartment!

Added 16-05-2012

Belle had been working as a secretary in the Nuclear plant for almost a year. Funnily enough, the investigators had found that the leak of top-secret documents from the plant had started barely a week after she joined! There had been that question-mark on her security vetting, some hints of salacious secrets concealed... perhaps she was being blackmailed? They had a strong enough case to bring her in for questioning, and when the agents question a spy, they are NOT gentle...

Movie Trailer: Bastinado!

Added 15-05-2012

We recently wrapped shooting on our newest EleganceStudios.com movie, called Bastinado. (Can you guess what it is about?)

The film was written and directed by Ariel, co-directed by Hywel and crewed by Kate and Steve. It was the first major outing for our new digital cine camera (a RED, as used on Hollywood blockbusters like Contagion, The Hobbit and Prometheus). It was the first time Kate and Steve had used the camera, and the first time Ariel and I had done more than shoot a single scene with it. Remarkably, given that this bit of kit shoots 4K resolution images good enough to project on a huge screen in your local multiplex, we found it was easier and more straightforward to shoot with than any of the video cameras we'd used to date!

We still have a lot of work to do before the film is ready for release. We didn't get all the shots we needed on the three days of shooting- the British weather decided to intervene and throw strong winds and lashing rain at us, which stopped us getting all the necessary exterior shots. We'll pick those up as soon as Ariel is back at home for a day. Then we need to go through the 5+ hours of footage and get stuck into editing, colour grading, make a rough cut, show it to a few people, do the sound edit, fine tune, make a final cut, etc..

Many thanks to all the RE members who came to the "brainstorming" chat session for the film- I hope you'll like what we've done with your ideas!

We hope to have the film ready for release over the summer. In the meantime, here is a teaser trailer I put together to whet your appetite!

Have you ever met someone who seem to fill the room with their personality? Who feel like they somehow ought to be seven feet tall rather than a very, very cute five foot four inches? I don't think I've ever met anyone who seemed to be having QUITE such a good time at their first shoot with me. I don't know who's going to win the bonus prize for the best test shoot, but I can already tell you who had the best time doing it! That was definitely Michelle Monroe!

Now you've seen the portfolio she sent in. You've seen that shot of her in a black catsuit. Could YOU have resisted the chance to put her in black catsuit and tie her up? Me neither! :-)

The Empress is trying out some new clothes. Her new tailor swears that rope is all the rage in Prague this season... but it seems perhaps he has designs on the Royal person!

Archive: Watered and Washed Down

Restrained Elegance Nights

Ariel was in a bit of a lather after her punishment and her walk, so I decided she should be fed and watered. She was ordered to drink water from a dog bowl, but as she failed to obey her instructions promptly she was made to do so with a ring gag in her mouth, which made the task almost impossible.

Following that she cleared needed a good wash and rub down. Sammie kindly volunteered to assist by sponging her down, although the bath had to be interrupted on several occasions to administer the mandatory 10 stroke punishments whenever Ariel was insolent or disobedient. Finally clean, she was made to sit in the humiliating sit-up-and-beg position before being led back into the house for dinner.

Archive: Kidnapped Party Girl

Added 14-05-2012

Party Girl! That's what all her friends called her. She would party for any reason or no reason. Party all day, party all night. Her latest excuse was that Daddy had just bought her a yacht- not one of those silly fiddly sailing ones, but a proper motor one with for decks and a bar and a Jacuzzi and a load of servants to see to her every want! She as going to have a launch party, that was what she was going to do! She decided to go and scout out the ship before it was launched and plan her party!

Of course, the fuddy-duddy security guards would never let her go explore so she had to give them the slip... Then she could creep around and explore her new toy all on her own! But wait, what's that? What was that noise? Who are you? What are you doing on my yacht? What is that rope for? Oh no! HELP! I'm being kidnapped!!!

The kidnapper tied the ransom demand to her then took photos to send to Daddy. He slipped out of the room to email the ransom demands. Wendy Jayne started to pull at the ropes and see if she could get free- but there was no way out. In a funny sort of way it was thrilling, being totally at someone else's mercy. She was so used to having the world fall at her feet to do her every whim that there was a real buzz in being made to do whatever he wanted. Why, he could do ANYTHING to her! Maybe he would... She couldn't wait for him to get back!

Are You Sure You're a Real Official?

Added 13-05-2012

Kendra James is approached by Security the minute she lands in the UK, and is informed that her pink cross-over top is illegally revealing by British standards. According to the official who accosts her, overly revealing clothing is subject to immediate confiscation, and the owner of said clothing has to be detained at the a irport until arrangements can be made for more appropriate attire!

Which is all very well, but Kendra's suspicions are aroused when the security guard keeps adding completely unnecessary, extra restraints. She starts to wonder if its some kind of set-up....
