and finish with a big bow

There are some photos that I can't post to recon.

Everybody eventually forms a style with bondage.  Things that are personal.

My webbing work is pretty distinctive to start with.  While it is built on top of the classic ties, it has visually diverged.

I use a lot more color than other people.  But the color probably isn't the most distinguishing feature.  It's a product of function.  My webbing is color-coded by length.  The purple are about 15ft long.  The yellow lines are 20ft long.  The blue lines are 25ft long.  The red lines are 30ft long.

I don't see other people tying bows.  They started as a way of dealing with excess length in a non-structural quick release manner.  Then I started to really like them.  They appeal the the childlike innocence that I try to bring to the dungeon.  (I try to exhibit enough skill that childlike doesn't cross the line into childish.)

Most of my bondage features bows.  At the Max 2 day bondage intensive I became know for the phrase "...and finish with a nice big bow."  While I understand that some people might mistake this as the leading edge of a humiliation scene, I take the bows seriously as both a stylistic choice and safety feature.

I try not to post photos to recon that are dominated by the bows, since it undercuts the small amount of dominance I can muster.
