Belly Dancer Bondage Costume

The world of belly dance is not one I know much about, but I do know this much: many dancers are also crafters, because of the elaborate costumes they wear during their belly dance routines. And although these costumes can draw on the numerous different cultures and traditions informing that dance style, harem dances and harem-girl costumes are by no means uncommon. Only rarely, however, do you see a dancer who fully embraces the Orientalist stereotypes of the captive harem slave. Which, from the point of view of our narrow interests here at Bondage Blog, is something of a pity.

The costume above goes further than most in the chained-harem-girl direction, with its beaded collar, arm and wrist bands that seem to symbolize restraints, and fabric linkages between them. I believe this photo is from the cover of a belly-dancing choreography video.

Spreader-Bar Fingered

Spreader bars are so much fun. Keeping her legs wide apart creates so many opportunities for erotic invasion:

Suspended In The South Seas

This lurid pulp image is a detail from the cover of the May 1963 issue of South Sea Stories.

There are larger scans of this cover at Pulp Covers, but they have faint reseller rubber stamps in our area of interest and/or different cover wear marks that I like less well.

Jessica On The Tracks

Jessica Rabbit’s gone and got in trouble again, looks like. Seems like a waste of a zaftig redhead to me, but I’m no cartoon villain:

There’s a signature lower left, but I can’t read it.

Punishment And Reward

Our rope-slut heroine in this scene is doing an excellent job delivering that bondage blowjob. She’s motivated, in part, by that wall of pain implements behind her; she knows that pleasing her master is worth working very hard at.

But she also enjoys her forced-orgasm rewards for a job well done:

Every BDSM Party Needs A Blowbox

They were having fun when they came up with the idea of the Blowbox, a sort of glory hole slave cage:

Cruel Bamboo

Even if we concede that this artist isn’t tops at human anatomy, this illustration from an old Kitan Club magazine effectively displays the evil notion of using bamboo’s flexibility as a way to make bondage unusually painful:
