There’s a whole slew of celebrity photos at the voter registration site Declare Yourself!. The photos are to illustrate the site’s “Only you can silence yourself” campaign, and my absolute favorites are these two shots of Jessica Alba. The tape gag is attractive on her, but the shot of her masked face in tears is enough to melt the sternest heart:

This is a detail from the cover of an old pulp novel called The Phantom Detective, found at Cement Lover’s blog:
We’ve got a prison guard here who’s got what Rod Blagojevich would call “a fucking gold mine” on his hands, and he’s not going to give it away for nothing:
Lee Lexxus from Dominated Girls is enough to warm the bars of any prison you might be stuck in.

Via Spanking Blog comes word of a man who is very very sure of the efficacy of his slave training procedures. When you cane your wench during a blowjob, you sort of need to be!

During the Apollo project, the astronauts returned to Earth in re-entry capsules which were designed to splash-land at sea and float until the astronauts could be retrieved by Navy vessels. At the time, there was a significant design concern about the capsules; they were said to have two stable floating attitudes, called Stable One and Stable Two. Stable One was desired; in Stable One position, the capsule floated upright and the astronauts could be retrieved without getting wet. Stable Two was emphatically undesireable; as you’d imagine, in Stable Two the capsule was upside-down, the astronauts were considerably less comfortable, and the retrieval hatch was underwater. NASA tried not to talk about the existence of Stable Two.
What does any of this have to do with bondage? Well, the following series of photos suggests that there’s a similar dynamic applicable to bondage girls on air mattresses in swimming pools. (Don’t try this at home.) Here’s Julie Knight as a SocietySM slavegirl, at repose (as if she had a choice) on an air mattress. Is he really using her mouth as an ashtray? It’s hard to see from here:
Unfortunately, air mattresses aren’t very stable; or rather, like the Apollo capsules, they have more than one stable position. Here, our unfortunate slavegirl is in the process of capsizing:
And finally, Stable Two:
Hopefully, Navy rescue swimmers are in the water and on their way.

Slavegirl Satine Phoenix, in training at The Training Of O, strikes me as having very good composure (not to mention, excellent posture!) as she waits — for whatever new indignity she’s waiting for — in front of the impressive phalanx of men’s room urinals in the old Armory building in San Francisco:

There’s a famous Eric Stanton drawing of a BDSM ponygirl race:
So far as I knew, it was a black-and-white drawing used to advertise episodes of Stanton’s “The Perils of Gwendoline” serial; there’s a large version here (at Kinky Delight) that used to appear in advertisement sections in old bondage magazines.
However, just today I stumbled over a detail from the same artwork, only this time it’s in brilliant living color, not just in those soft blotchy watercolors that he often used, but with what looks like an overpaint with the acrylics that he sometimes used in his book cover work:
If anybody knows where to find a decent-sized image of the whole piece, in color, I’d be pleased to receive the link. [Update: Got it! Thanks, Chuck.]
