Shibari/kimbaku. Crash Restraint. When attaching support lines to a harness for suspension, I use a novel method that people frequently ask me about, and I've been meaning to document for a long time. Serendipitously, I ran into Kali from Kink Academy a few months ago at Wicked Grounds, and she asked me to film some instructional videos for them on suspension -- so I managed to slip this in there, and they've graciously agreed to allow me to use screenshots from those videos to illustrate a blog post here.
This method was inspired by the Tatu hitch , during a Fetlife discussion whose details are now murky in my memory -- in any case credit is due both Tatu and Jack Elfrink for making me aware of that knot, upon which this is based. Things needing names, and this technique using the first half of a Tatu hitch, I suppose we could call it the half-Tatu hitch. Thanks also to Mecha-Kate for modeling for these.

The Bondage Awards. Nina Russ Hip Harness | A diary of rope learning... I’m very sorry for neglecting this blog – it doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy doing lots of rope, though! And also trying to spread the rope magic at the ever growing Ladies Peer Rope in Manchester and preparing to run a workshop at BDSM bisexuals at the weekend. It’s all go! I’ve also had a chance to do more suspension, and generally have a fair bit of ropey fun :) Because I’ve been struggling with proper hip support when suspending, I have decided that hip harnesses need to be my focus at the moment.
So, please dear readers – send me some good hip harness resources! This week, I’ll mainly be trying to master the Nina Russ hip harness. And this is the video that has been helping me – well worth a watch. Like this: Like Loading... Free Download from Rapidshare, FileFactory.
