I recently ran across a German (I believe) website called Blackstore.com. What I appreciate about people like these is that they take their design and manufacture of good bdsm gear seriously. Like some of my other favorites (Sinvention, Medical Toys, etc) Blackstore goes beyond just the utility use of the gear and pushes into the realm of fantasy. That’s where all the best stuff lives, and is the type of equipment I seek out.

Below is what they call RubberBoy. I don’t think I really need to say more, except wow!

I just look at this suit and see a creator who loves kink. What an image! I immediately thought “I need to get this for M!”

The cage (below) also shows an attention to detail. I love the idea of a small cage. I love the Pichard Cage (as seen at House of Gord and in my video Undercover). It’s not crazy practical, but when did I ever say I was practical? Blackstore has taken the same style cage to the next level with this one.

The idea is brilliant; a small of enough cage to restrict the submissive’s movements, but then add a clamping collar at one end to trap her neck outside the cage, and an adjustable dildo pole at the other end to hold position. You’d think that would be enough, but just as I like to take things to the next level, so does Blackstore.com! Outside the area where the collar clamps on the slave’s neck are a series of adjustable pins that can be moved to imprison the sub’s head into position, removing all motion. Add to this a ball gag on a rod that extends up from below, and the head is literally immobile. Wrist and ankle clamps hold limbs in place, everything is adjustable, and you can even add on a fucking machine that mounts at back.

The first time I heard of Blackstore.com was through another kinky blog, where they displayed this device:

What an amazing image! You can’t look at this device and not see that the manufacturer isn’t just trying to make a buck on cheap leather cuffs. These people not only care about their equipment, but clearly they have an understanding of what a super kinky mind might like. Sure it’s expensive. Sure it’s beyond what most people need or want in BDSM gear, but isn’t it nice to know that someone out there can make even your wildest fantasies a reality? The people at Blackstore.com are true artists and craftsmen. I salute their attention to detail.

Now if I can only figure out how to get some of their gear to try out…

I’ve spoken about him in the past. The classic designs, ladies in corset and impossible heels, really set the tone for the style of kink I continue to enjoy today.

But there was always another artist named Eric Stanton that floated my boat almost equally as well. Though often he enjoyed illustrating male submissive, or FemDom material, he also did a number of female submissive works. Particularly look for his Pleasure Bound series. Here’s an image from that:

And one from another series called Bound in Leather:

I recently found this amazing link of a lot of his work. Sadly, it’s mostly his FemDom stuff, but there are some tidbits in there as well. If you look hard enough, there are places on the web to buy digital copies of his work as well. If you like the classic look of bondage by Stanton and Willie, you won’t be disappointed.

(This brings you to the first page. Look at the bottom for a drop down listing all the pages. There are over 3000)

Until then, enjoy my stories once again. As always I endeavor to put up new work. Stay tuned here for that.
