My 1st public Shibari performance - goes off! ;)

Rigging by Mistress Tokyo for Matt Bylett show, Lunamorph 2010

Hi A/all!

Weeks ago the fantastic Matt Bylett from Matt Bylett Designs asked Me to be in his show for the Sydney Fringe Festival's "Lunamorph" at the Enmore Theatre. "Lunamorph" is an annual alternative fetish and gothic fashion show for local Sydney designers - of whom Matt is one.

He asked Me to model his unique latex creations but... to also SUSPEND IN BONDAGE OFF THE STAGE RIGGING A PERSON WEARING ONE OF HIS DESIGNS - an amazing inflatable mermaid costume! Wow!

After thinking about it, I declined the offer to model so I could focus on hanging this amazing mermaid person in the sky! I love suspension bondage - but I know very well the issues of safety and comfort for the submissive - it's paramount!

So, working with the really co-operative riggers at the Enmore Theatre, I was able to suspend My friend Burlesque fetish performer Audrey off the rig really high up - 4m in the air! She was tied in a standing position with arms free but under the mermaid tail were a sequence of ropes at knees and thighs to keep her up and stable...

I used black 6mm and 7mm hemp for the lines and scarlet 6mm hemp for the body harness. I didn't follow anyone else's pattern; I just made it up after a couple of run throughs, made sure Audrey was comfortable and then just made the whole tie as stable as possible. The most stressful thing was having to tie her legs and the suspension lines behind the stage screen while other performances were going on - in the dark!!! Oh, that and the fact she was so damn high that if anything went wrong it could REALLY go wrong!

Rigging by Mistress Tokyo for Matt Bylett show, Lunamorph 2010I think it looked fantastic! I was really proud as, apart from doing a show with Matt Bylett who is an amazing artist, I did My very first public Shibari performance! I do this sort of tying nearly every day in My sessions but it's different to have to produce an aesthetic and safe tie on demand under really trying circumstances.

There are also painfully few FEMALE Shibari riggers performing around the world. In fact, I can only think of one woman doing this style of show on a regular basis and that is the fantastic Satomi Tokyo Love Doll, from whom I've learnt A LOT of My rope skills. さとみさん、どうもありがとうございました！:)

Suspended... 4m in the air? WOW!

Be shiny and, if you can't be shiny - be ropey!

Back in Sydney, back at sessions, back in boots!

Hi A/all!

I'm back from interstate from time with my family and in Sydney taking on sessions again!

Here's a little bit of a video teaser from My appearance in the latest edition of Bootlovers.com! That's Me in My studio in My 12" heeled 7" platform black patent leather crotch boots! :)

I do sound rather official, don't I? Telling you all how it is that we must "train ourselves as fetishists into our corsets and boots"! I can be such a dame at times! She does love her rubber and boots!

I do get a lot of comments about these boots though - with many people asking how I can possibly walk in them...?

Here's a hint - see Me walk in them in the video! ;)

Enjoy and see you all sooner for more rubber fun...

I'm in Bootlovers.com again! No #69 - see My 12" Heels!

Hi A/all!

The new Bootlovers.com is finally online! Edition 69# features yours truly yet again - in TWO pairs of My favourite and decidedly most extreme boots!

This edition features My 12" heeled 7" platform, black patent leather crotch boots AND My custom made, black patent leather, lace-up crotch high ballets - wearing My own rubber and tightlaced in leather of course! Phew - what to wear!

This time what I've done for Bootlovers is a bit more special - TWO galleries for each of these amazing boots, instead of My regular offering of only one...

In the first gallery I'm shot on site at Soul Focus Studio by the fantastic Luke Messerer. It's here we developed the great rubber shoot newest to My website with the 12" heeled boots! We also shot a softer sweeter shoot more burlesque in style with My ballet boots too!

The second shoot for each pair was done by DJ himself from Bootlovers.com on his most recent trip to Austalia! Naturally, I had to wear yet more different rubber outfits though... What more could you want?!

If you want to check out the rest of My Bootlovers.com galleries, go get them here...

I hope you all enjoy the view and I'll see you all a new shoot again sooner... ;)

Best - in boots yet again!

New photo sets on My website!

Hi A/all!

I've just put three new photo sets up on My site! Here is a small sample here...

I hope you enjoy them - I had wanted to do a heavy rubber shoot for god knows how long, but simply hadn't made the date with Luke from Soul Focus Studio. We shot these in his new professional studio space in Chippendale - it's a really great venue and gives him the opportunity to showcase his amazing work!

See more of his pictures at solfocusstudio.net - he's always putting up more of his almost constant stream of new fetish images.

Like to see the rest of these shoots? Have a look at My site at http://www.mistresstokyo.com

Best - in rubber!

I'm in Chicago at Shibaricon & International Mr Leather! Back in OZ soon!

Hi E/everyone!

I'm in the middle of Chicago right now and headed back to LA for the last leg of My trip in the USA! What a weekend it's been - lovers of rope and leather have flocked like birds of a feather!

After touching down in LA early last week looking forward to My first visit to Shibaricon - the biggest Japanese Rope convention in the world - I learnt that the International Mr Leather convention was on in the same town the same weekend! My time here has most fortuitous time-wise! I went from conference to conference, both learning new skills to expand My bondage knowledge and tasting all that the international leather scene has under one roof!

Shibaricon was great! Three and a half days of rope bondage workshops, performances and chances to play. I had the immense pleasure of meeting many prominent people in the international Rope scene, received the benefit of their experience at workshops and saw them perform! The performances by France's Dr Phil and Germany's Zamil were exceptional and inspirational!

I got to IML on the last day and shopped My 'til My Mastercard could take no more! I have a lot of new toys to bring back for My slaves - we all know I'm a soft touch for shiny new gear - and I did rather lash. I bought a totally amazing (and rather expensive) bit of medical gear that desperately needs a photo shoot as soon as I'm back - you'll just have to wait to see what it is...

Speaking of photo shoots, I was very lucky to squeeze TWO (!!) new photo shoots with Lucas from Soul Focus Studio just before I flew to the US! Three great looks in six hours - we worked through the night! I'll just give you a taste of what we did here...

...and of course there'll be more on My return to Sydney!

I'm back in town on Monday 7th of June and available for sessions again at the latest on Wednesday 9th. I'll post again so I know you're all ready to sample My amazing new toys and hear about My trip!

Until I'm back in town,
