Here is the relevant excerpt from “The Times” article… however they have misprinted the name of the company it should read: Bound4Bondage and not bond4bondage as written.
The Times publication date 20th November 2010, author Joe Joseph:
Melanie Stevens from North Yorkshire, on the Bond4Bondage stand, says: “…we moved into making bondage gear.”
Her husband, Darrell, a trained welder, handles that side of the business. Melanie attaches the leather restraints and rotating dildos. An example of creative destruction; though Schumpeter might have struggled to find a place in his theories for “Spot”, a man in a full-body Dalmatian suit who is crouching in a small kennel-size metal jail, made by Darrell. A friend of theirs? “No,” says Darrell. “He first came up to us at the show and asked if he could sit in our cage. I believe he even sleeps in a cage.”
…
Why shouldn’t people who want to slip stainless steel spheres the size of satsumas into various body parts not also be interested in the wellbeing of the great crested grebe?
Stroll around the Erotica fair and you’re unlikely to sit in a crowded train carriage again and not wonder what some of your fellow passengers get up to. But nobody thinks themselves kinky. That’s not how it works. The conjugation runs: I enjoy classy erotica. You crave porn. He’s a pervert who dresses as a Dalmatian.
Some people have said that the last bit of the article can be read in one of many ways… I’m hoping it was meant to be really written as :
The conjugation runs: “I enjoy classy erotica. You crave porn. He’s a pervert who dresses as a Dalmatian.”… i.e. as if it was a thought in a thought bubble as opposed to a statement of fact.
Here’s the pictures of me being Spot the Dalmation (ZentaiSpot) at Erotica 2010 at Olympia
The time that we arrived at on the Sunday was even earlier again … even though we set off from home later than the previous days (or so it seemed). I think our actual arrival time was more by luck and chance that we got the Olympia service that literally just arrived as we got onto the platform at Earls Court. … Probably means that all the previous days we only just missed it thus a 20min wait at Earls Court.
Upon arriving, due to our timing, We went over and had a quick chat to Latex 101 regarding a custom full body suit that would be similar to the Zentai. The consensus was it could be done, and that they’d measure me up later in the day when in Zentai (since it was skin tight so needed no clothing removing … making their life and mine easier).
After a quick bite to eat and a coffee I went and changed to Spot, and took up residence in the cage at the bound4bondage stand.
After a couple of hours I ended up taking a pup nap … in the 3′ x 2′ x 2’6″ cage … and it was surprisingly comfy. It’s been something that had been playing in my mind if it was possible. The opportunity was available, since on the Saturday once Erotica had closed, Mel mentioned that if I wanted to I could bring in a blanket and snooze if I wanted.
I came and went from the cage, as and when the trees were required (as London has no bins *Ears down*) [English: Toilet breaks] and also as and when a drink was required or food.
Mid afternoon, we went over to see Latex 101 and got all the measurements done, and the discussion about zip options etc. … All sounds great, and will be commissioning it by the end of the week, once I’m happy in my head that no other options are needed on the suit… OK, I’m not fully a latex puppy, but it will be very nice to have the option and especially as it’ll be a custom fit too *bounds round happy*. I’ve seen the work they did for Scamp, and I’m more than impressed with the quality and the customer care after.
The day seemed to come to an end fairly quickly, but I did spend the last hour or so out the cage. This was more of a safety implication than because I wanted to… there seemed very little security on the site at this time, and it’s when the public are leaving, and sometimes a bit hostile … HOWEVER, if the cage was allowed to be shut like in previous years, then it would have been OK … but with the door requiring to be left ajar, it meant the rowdy public could just be a pain … not what you want when selling to the more down to earth people.
8pm came, and due to the industry I’m in normally, I know how much of a pain it is to take down scenery etc. is, so we offered to say and give a hand to Mel and Daryl. Well, just under 2 hours later the whole lot was packed and ready to go. Just before we all said goodbye, I went to pay for the muzzle and cuffs from bound4bondage, but I was told to have them as a thank you present. *Wags*
Well, just to let you know, the muzzle has been used, and is fantastic! really nicely made, and is very secure. The buckles don’t sit on pressure points and so is very very comfy to wear.
A fantastic weekend came to an end in some ways far too early.
We have a few pictures that were taken with the correct protocol in place, so they are legitimate pictures. They shall be uploaded today, once they have been resized…. Watch this space … Oh, and the Times article will be added too.
*Nuzzles and Wags* to all, and especially to Mel and Daryl from Bound4Bondage.
Today we arrived 15 mins earlier than the Friday … but that was more down to the way tube timings worked.
For some reason today sort of went quicker in the cage, but the day overall felt longer … not sure if that means I spent less time in the cage than yesterday, or if I just dropped into pup mode a bit more thus ‘loosing time’.
Mortice turned up when I was having a quick snack of a chocolate brownie (Which is also recommended), and so we had a chat and also mentioned about next weekend, of which needs the locations and timings confirmed for a walkabout.
Back to the cage *wags tail*.
What seemed like not all that long after I was suddenly confronted with a black Labrador puppy … but a real lab! Wearing a high vis harness, it could only mean one thing … Annie!!! If Annie could have, she would have got in the cage with me! … I came out and dropped my hood down, and said Hi to the friends; and Annie (whom it seems couldn’t get enough of me!) and then they went on their way to do some looking and probably shopping.
Some while later, after I’d been back in the cage, and been out for a wander, by chance as I was having a drink and about to go back to the cage Annie and co came back to us, and I asked Annie to sit, which very obliging she was, she sat and behaved…. until I sat, when she decided to lay down and start to just relax too with me. *Nuzzles*. About 5 mins later Annie had to go back to her job of being a guide dog, so goodbyes said to Annie, off they went.
Some while later, again, I’ve probably been in and out my cage a couple of times, The friends came to say that they were off, so this time the proper goodbyes were said.
It turns out that Erotica made it into the “Saturday Times”. Mentioning me and Bound 4 Bondage, but unfortunately made a typographical error on the company name by spelling it bond4bondage … SO: for those of you who have googled bond4bondage from The Times … click http://www.bound4bondage.co.uk to go to the correct site!!!!
The last hour and a half or so of the day, I really couldn’t tell you much, not because I was asleep, but I’d gone into full pup mode, since there was someone who was giving me loads of *Scritches* and *Tickles behind the ears* … Complete heaven … (well, for a dog it would be).
I’m going to put some pics up on the Monday as my owner got a “press ticket” so could legitimately take pictures, and also I’ll scan in the Times article for people to read if they wish … I make it into the opening sub heading and the main text. The last sentence spoils it though. *Ears down*
