Let me back up to before I shot my first video. It is Pittsburgh, early 1997. Via the AOL chat or some other method I met Robert Deane. He was working with Lex Paris in Pittsburgh filming bondage content. We met many times on the South Side discussing the emerging Internet potential for breaking into the bondage business. When I started producing content in Cleveland, he was producing his own back in the ‘Burgh. He had started finding models for his new site, and one was a young lady that was really into being tied up that is going to model under the name Gina Rae Michaels. I told Robert that I had more models here than I had money and I will get to her eventually. A couple days later I get a phone call. It’s Gina. She said, ‘I heard you didn’t want to shoot with me.’ The phone call literally lasted hours. A week or two later I am road tripping near the Burgh where I met Gina and her friend (soon to be Bondage Designs model Charity DiCarlo) to shoot a corporate espionage scenario. I could write a book on my business and personal relationship with Gina over the years, so, for now, on to the video at hand.

This video showcases my early predicament bondage ideas. I am passionate using predicament bondage as sexual interrogation play. You know, agree to this, or stay that way torturing yourself. It is a recurring theme in all my play and still is. Gina is a good actress and plays the damsel well. She also not only could take nipple ties, crotchropes, and whippings, but had multiple orgasms in the scene where I have her crotchroped (precariously) kneeling on a chair with her nipples tied and stretched to my home made spreader bar, used in this case as her gag. How she did not drop that big thing and rip her nipples off while having orgasms still impresses me. There was a scene after this where she had multiple bondage orgasms while frogtied but some happy to be there dumb ass forgot to turn the recorder on. Hence, sadly, it is only played out in my mind.

In the second half of the video, Kimi Lixx and her partner came over for a second shoot. Kimi truly was my first go to model, living very close, always available and willing. With her partner’s help I did my first suspension, hanging Kimi in an upside down strappado where we took turns flogging her. Next, a face up frogtie with ice cubes on strings melting over her as she grinds to the whip. If you are a fan of predicament bondage this is a fantastic video, even in poor 90’s DVD quality. I am tempted to remake this video. I always did like the title.

Enjoy the debut of legendary Bondage Model and Producer Gina Rae Michaels (though Robert Deane has a rightful claim to the debut)  Oh… btw, Robert sent me a photo of Gina tied on her floor in the introduction. I later heard a rumor that photo was taken and the tie was done by her then partner, some guy named Matt Williams. Yes, that Matt Williams. Internet bondage in the early 2000s was a very small world. Anyway, enjoy Gina and Kimi in ‘Methods of Erotic Interrogation’

Shot February 21, 2001 (Gina) and sometime in March 2001 (Kimi)
