TucsonTied Blog

I’ve been away from the blog for a bit, so rather than trying to seperate all that’s been going on into several updates, why not just cram everything all into one big juicy filled-with-pics one!!  YAY!!!

Ok, let’s see…where did I leave you guys last?  Oh, yeah…Stacie Snow and I just finished our tenth shoot, right?  OK…shortly before that, a friend of Dave Annis’ came into town to do his last bit of shooting with local gals here.  He did about 5 shoots with gals, then hung up his ropes for good.  Sad…but eventually it happens to all of us, I guess.  Well…the upside to it (if there can be said to have an upside) is that he left Dave all his wardrobe for shoots!  Dave already had enough of his own…so he gave it all to me.  OY, was my place crazy with fetishy women’s clothes!  THIRTEEN pairs (yah, you read that right THIRTEEN) of fetishy boots, probably damn near 100 skirts, some tops, one super sexy red dress (more about that little number in a minute)…it was nuts.  Should’ve taken pics of it all, but sadly, didn’t.

Time passes…and Lola Lynn comes over for her second bondage visit with me…YAY!

Lola Lynn

Interesting trivia note: Lola’s a dang escape artist!  It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was at the time, but she can slip ropes with the best of them…sheesh.    I always have the best time when I work with her…I was pleased as punch with the results!  Best part was I actually got to MEET her this time, as the last time she was here she was battling a stomach bug…nasty stuff!  She’s one of the brightest, most fun personalities I get to work with…I love to work with her!  During this shoot, I’d asked TucsonTied fave Stacie Snow if she’d like to stop by and join the festivities for a quick two model set.  The answer?

Lola Lynn and Stacie Snow

Um…yes.     Don’t they make a nice pair struggling together?  Oh, wait…you won’t find out until the VIDEO gets released…   (Ah, what a tease I am…lol.)  That was FUN to do, and a bit of an educator as I was nervous about tolerance levels…I was afraid that Lola (who was tied first) might be ready to be released from the bondage when I was just tying Stacie…no worries.  They both took the “new” style of rigging I do EXCELLENTLY…I needent have worried. 

After this set was lensed and videoed, we went about sorting thru all of the wardrobe I’d been gifted with…Lola took some, Stacie took some, and I kept some for models who might not have any shoot clothes when they work with me (something that happens with the amateur models from time to time).  Most notable was the first thing we bartered around about…a fabulous red dress.  I had set in my heels that I was gonna keep it and use it for other models…but when Stacie tried it on, I melted like butter.  It would’ve been a crime against nature to keep it…and you’ll see why in a minute.  We yakked and sorted thru clothes for a bit more, then Stacie took her leave of Lola and me and she and I continued shooting.  Lola used some of her clothing that she’d gotten for the next set…

Lola Lynn

The shoes were hers…the rest was gifted by me.  Come to think of it…the shoes were a gift also…but from a fan!  We did two different looks of this outfit (sitting and laying down on the floor), then called it a shoot…and sadly, I walked her to her car, gave her a hug “goodbye” and she was off to her next shoot.  I see her next at FetCon…

Time passes, and the next thing I know, it’s time to work with Stacie again.  I’m always excited to work with her…but this time there was a little more to it than that, as we were gonna work with her in that oh, so, HOT red dress.  OK, I’ve kept you waiting long enough…just to make up for it, here’s two shots of her in it…one bound, one unbound:

"The" dress. Stacie Snow

Stacie Snow...do you see why I let her keep the dress?

Sigh.  Too YUMMY, huh?  Soon as I saw her in it, I knew it was destined to be hers….or it SHOULD be, anyways.    Next, we did a more “fetishy” look…this set could almost be one where a Domina gets “dommed”…

Mistress, may I have another? Stacie Snow

Who's domming WHOM tonight, dear? Stacie Snow

Is that a smile I almost see? Stacie Snow

I don’t do the “lotus” tie very often…it’s not very “damsel”, I’ve found.  Well, Stacie Snow and I will never have the need to to it again, as I’ve totally perfected it on her.  Wanna see? 

Tolstoy

LOVE the drama in this close-up...

GREAT Lotus tie...Stacie Snow

Incidentally, the below shot is used on my current business card…can you see why? 

Business Card shot

Oh, boy.  I think I goofed. 

Maybe. 

Just finished a barrage of messages with Stacie Snow and now the first 1/4 of the year is all scheduled out…I’m good until April at least with all these shoots.  Me oh my, DOC, what HAVE I done?     (EDIT: Changed one date for Stacie…had to reschedule one shoot.)

During those first three, I’ll be doing a shoot every Thursday for three weeks!  Should be interesting…;)

Tolstoy

Ain't she cute? Stacie Snow

Good LORD where does the time go?  Seems just like yesterday, I was jamming Stacie Snow’s elbows together for the first time, now it’s TEN shoots later!  I’ve never gone ten shoots with a model before, believe it or not…with some I’m close to that, but Stacie is the first to ever reach that mark with me, and I’m very proud of that fact.

We mesh well, that girl and I…in fact, fellow rigger/photographer JBRoper (http://jbroper.com/) said of us, “(Stacie’s)best work is with you and (your) best is with Stacie.”  I’d have to concur…that girl brings out all the best in me…I’m proud to know her, proud to work with her…and even prouder that she calls me “friend”.

Stacie Snow

Those lovely heels she’s wearing come to you courtesy of JB, by the way…wasn’t that nice of him?    I’m not gonna talk too much more, not much reason really.  All I can say to sum up is that she’s a special lady…and I’m looking forward to each and every shoot that she and I do…it’s a pure blessing to know her.

Stacie Snow

Oh, and in unrelated cuteness (lol), here’s a couple preview shots from our “shibari” shoot, two photoshoots ago.  Ungagged, yes, I know…the gagged shots come next.

I love life’s little ironies.

Get this one, folks: I’m at ModelMayhem about to answer a message from Candle
Boxxx when I look on the front page and see a picture of a GORGEOUS, leggy
blonde named Ginger Lee. Well, those’re two of Tolstoy’s three weaknesses right
there (blonde and leggy…my third is a good pout; if a woman pouts at me, I’m
dead meat…lol), so I decide to look her online portfolio over.

Very impressed, was I.

Beautiful woman…she was just about everything I look for when talent scouting
for TucsonTied. But, thought I, she couldn’t possibly do bondage…that’s of
course when I saw her fetish shots…lol. Mild to say the least…but there was
at least enough there for me to send her off a note of introduction and see if
she’d be interested in a shoot.

She was! And now we’re set for a March 7th shoot…color me happy!

Here’s where the fun begins. I begin messaging her at Mayhem and she’s
extremely pleasant to talk to. She mentions that one of her photographers was
shocked to find that he was working with “THE” Ginger Lee. “The”, huh? I just
let the comment go. A few days later, I go to a strip club with my buddy Dave
Annis, and what name is on the marquee but GINGER LEE!!!

WTF?!

So, I ask her about it…and sure enough, it’s HER! I’m set to work with a
feature performer at clubs…and a major XXX star!!!

Ain’t life grand? Went to her first show last night and met her (the club’s
keeping her busy during this 3 day stay in Tucson…no shooting for me until
March, sadly)…she’s a total DOLL! Southern accent like you wouldn’t believe
(it’s gonna ba a shame to gag her…lol), gorgeous and totally sexy! Sweet
personality too…I’m going to LOVE roping her up in the classic, tough and
TIGHT TucsonTied style soon!

So…coming in March, I’m working with “THE” Ginger Lee!

Yet another period of silence from Tolstoy…ah, me. Sorry, gang. I hate these periods of inactivity almost as much as you guys must, but they seem like they’ll be fewer and far between and I’ll be shooting more starting next month…

Feburary opens for me with the uber-lovely Stacie Snow and I knocking out or 10th shoot together. Huh…10 shoots…what’s the “gift” for the 10th? Really tight bondage, maybe? Should be fun and I’m looking forward to having her back in my ropes…it’s been a while!

Later in the month brings Lola Lynn back to the Old Pueblo for a second round of tight bondage and gags (you think she’d'a learned from the first hit, but nooooooo….lol). I’m looking forward to actually meeting Lola this time. Yes, you read that right…she was indeed here with me last time, but she was battling a stomach flu at the time we were working (testament to her toughness), so I never really got to meet her. Should be a blast!

March is looking to be an interesting story. I’m going to make a seperate post about this in it’s entirety, but suffice it to say, Ginger Lee will be making an appearance in my ropes, and I’m STOKED. You won’t wanna miss this one!

OK, off to write a bit about Ginger…more later!

Tolstoy

Hello, all!  Sorry for the absentia…life in general has been messing with me.  Won’t go into specifics, but it’s been a rough stretch of road.  Definitely light at the end of the tunnel, tho…but as of late, life and I have been fighting, and life is winning…lol.

Anyway…I’m back on the editing trail, and just wanted to share a few pics with you all.  Stacie Snow in black lingerie, and Stiletto, from our first shoot, back when I was using that funky blue rope.  Take care…catch ya next blog!

Tolstoy

Stacie Snow. The ironic part is, I told her I was gonna take it EASY on her this shoot...yeesh.

Somebody's been struggling...lol. Stacie mussed up all that purty hair...

Stiletto

One more of Stiletto...

Lola Lynn

Well, the shoot season for TucsonTied is coming to a close…only going to shoot with Stacie Snow one more time next week (for a custom), then call it over.  I’m thinking about a couple month break to allow my money to catch up to my bills (lol), but we’ll see just how long I last it out. 

Anyway, I shot with Lola Lynn today…what fun!!  we’d been talking about a shoot for a while…and when my buddy El Coyote was able to arrange a shoot with her, they mentioned that she was gonna be in the area…would I like to shoot with her too?

WOULD I?!

Secretary Lola has been kidnapped...

Well, that was a no-brainer…lol.  It happened today, and was QUITE a shoot!  Coyote was there and shot a TON of “Behind The Scenes” stills for me…which is GREAT as Lola is quite a character and the pics truly showed it.  She was a BLAST to work with, and I hope our paths cross again soon for some more shooting!

We did two looks… “secretary”:

Lola Lynn

And a casual, “snatched off the streets” look:

Lola Lynn

She was AMAZING to work with…a total dream and a BLAST.  We had a hoot, laughing and joking the entire way.  You wouldn’t have known it was a first shoot; we clicked that well.  I truly hope to have more of these and the pleasure of working with her mulitple times…she’s truly the best!

You know you’ve got a great gal on your hands when she “mugs” for the ID shot (a pic taken of the model holding her ID)…she gave me one that was so cute, I wanted to bust up laughing. 

Lola…FABULOUS shoot…hope to see you again soon for many, MANY more of them!!  <3 ya!

Tolstoy

OK, not one but TWO blog entries tonight!!  I’ve been lazy, so you deserve it…lmao! 

Bikini Candle Boxxx

Candle Boxxx…OML (Oh, My, LORD).  We had been communicating since September, and the shoot finally happened just last week.  THREE MONTHS of almost constant communication between us at ModelMayhem, Instant Messaging, Text Messaging, and finally phone conversation all came to fruition in a WONDERFUL shoot!  I can’t remember having a better time with so wonderful a person…this shoot was AMAZING!

Candle is becoming quite the popular lady of late…and with good reason as she’s fantastic at her job and a wonderful person to work with.  A beauty for the ages…stunning figure, a gorgeous bod and a smile that can warm your heart.  And her voice…OML, I was sad when I had to gag her (lol)…that happens rarely.

Bikini Bound Candle Boxxx

Candle and I met thru ModelMayhem…no, wait, that’s not right…Stacie Snow first suggested that Candle and I work together, and I am so glad I listened.  What followed that suggestion was a whirlwind of communication where we not only began to click as model and photographer, but as friends as well.  Candle is one of those rare people that a producer meets in his career that not only inspires him as an artist, but enriches him as a person as well.  I can truly say that my life has definitely taken an upswing after meeting her…I’m more confident in myself as a producer and as a person as well.  She’s definitely been great for the ol’ ego, and has enriched me in ways that I don’t have enough electronic paper to describe properly.  Suffice it to say, I enjoyed being around her every second, and hope to do so again very soon in the near future.

OWIE!!! Pink rope elbow bondage with Candle Boxxx

 I knew this was gonna be great from the moment Stacie Snow and I picked her up from the airport…we were laughing with each other like as if we were old friends who all knew each other for years!  We (and that’s a “three” in that “we” as Stacie was present for the shoot and I also shot with her as well) probably talked more than shot pictures…but it was well deserved and much needed.  It was a complete blast!  Just three friends hanging out, talking about life and the many mysterious ways it works, shooting pictures of bound and gagged chicks…isn’t that the way life ALWAYS works? 

"You better be good, Candle, or I'm not untying you." Stacie disciplines Candle...

Taking her to the airport was a drag…I almost wanted to keep her here forever…lol.  It was a lovely drive (and I got there without losing my way…major feat for me…YES!!!) with us laughing and punning all the way.   OY…I almost forgot about that…Candle (in my opinion) is the best at a pun…better than anyone I know at coming up with a clever pun at a moments notice…which is a talent I wish I had (tho I’m pretty good too). 

Anyway…we got into my car, I gave her a Diet Coke (her drink of choice) for the road, and off we went.  After I dropped her off, she was still slurping on the soda she had, so I kept the “for the road” one, hugged her goodbye and watched her head into the airport.  Got about halfway home before I had to make the lame “Somebody must’ve smoked in the car” excuse for brushing back a tear (which is even lamer when you realize that I’m the only one I’m making excuses to…lol), then I popped open the Diet Coke can and said to myself, “This one’s for you, Candle.”  After which I took a sip and nearly retched, saying, “She LIVES on this stuff?!”

Gawd, that crap is horrid.  Blech!

Lovely experience…wouldn’t trade it for the world!  Luv ya, lady!

Tolstoy

Meh.

Just another day at the ranch. I never end to be surprised at people. I’m alone today at work, so I have to take an hour long lunch and close the door. Nobody comes in while I’m open…but as soon as I close the doors for lunch?

You guessed it…somebody starts pounding on the door, totally ignoring the “Out to Lunch, Back In An Hour” sign. Are people ignorant on purpose or something?!

Whatever…they did come back after the hour was up…and surprisingly, they were actually pretty nice when I helped them. It just amazes me, tho…does a “Closed” sign mean anything anymore?

Grrrrr.

Annoyed,
Tolstoy

PS: When I get home, Ill do an entry for Candle Boxxx and Stacie Snows shoot with me on Sunday!!
