A shot from AZ!

Years ago, I worked with a photographer in San Diego that was just starting out but seemed to have a natural talent at capturing beautiful art nude shots. While in AZ, I worked with him again and he has only gotten better! He partnered me up with a beautiful russian girl with waist length reddish hair and we did a lot of wrapping each other up in our hair, here is one of the shots:

My Seduction Style!

Well, like we didn;t know this already LOL!

Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover

You seduce people by tapping into their dreams and desires. And because of this sensitivity, you can be the ideal lover for anyone you seek. You are a shapeshifter - bringing romance, adventure, spirituality to relationships. It all depends on who your with, and what their vision of a perfect relationship is.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

Wrath huh? I'm not surprised.

Like I don;t have every reason to be angry and upset. I was done wrong by in the worst possible way and I am very far off from getting over it. Yes, I'm angry. I wish certain people were dead.

Greed:	High
Gluttony:	Medium
Wrath:	Very High
Sloth:	Medium
Envy:	Low
Lust:	High
Pride:	High

What Classic Pin-Up Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I need a break!

13,824 words done. Time for some food!

11,585 words down....

about 6,500 to go. More than half way, almost 2/3rd's and still absolutely bored. Really struggling with the gener thing. Most ties are unisex. To say "their" is grammaticallyh incorrect but I don;t want to be specifc to one gener so I find myself typing "his or her" a lot...too much.

A Labor of Love?

So, I have received my manuscript back from the publicher in it's proof read and edited version. NOw, I must go through it with a fine toothcomb...this is the clast chance to find spelling or grammatical errors that may have been made...after this, it goes to pront and if I have fuckec up somewhere then it is too bad...agh the stress...but even worse the boredom! I wrote this book...and I have read it, changed it, re-read it, etc multiple times. Going through it, checking every last little comma is so blah...and so time consuming. I'm about 6000 words in...so that's a third of the way as the manuscript is just under 18,000 words. I'm going to try and get a lot done today but then I also worry that if I go through it too quickly I will miss something. I already found one spelling error that the proofreader didn't catch...I don't blamer her though. I have to say those people earn every penny...cos this work is BORING!

Pic from today!

I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed...but thought I would leave you with this stunning image from my shoot today with Leda Locke. This was her first ever suspension and I feel honored to have rigged it for her.

Lights are SOOO Expensive!

Today I went out with Rick (from Edge Studios) to JCX Expendables. I had made the firm decision to buy the lights I need to make some good video porn. You see, I actually hate to spend money (especially when I'm not making any) and even though I may need something...or my new business may need something so it can start, I will just put it off and off. Somehow I try to find a way to not need whatever it is that costs money...well now, to shoot "good" porn you need lights...that is a fact. There's a lot of crap porno out there and I don;t want to make that kind! So I finally sucked it and bought a couple of lights with softboxes and eggcrates, of course then you also need sandbags and stands so I got those too....agh, almost $2000 later I can now shoot some very well lit porn! Now I have no excuse to not start shooting!

So, I'm back from AZ...it was hell. I don;t even want to go into the story but I'll just say that I may NEVER teach another private class again...or if I do it will be with me being VERY well paid. I'm not going through that hit again for peanuts. I'll write more about it another time cos writing about it will just make me relive it and I can do without that.

Okay, gotta go...tonight I'm making "Filet Oscar" which is just the most delicious meal ever!

Pic is of the scarves that will soon be for sale on AgentSM...I actually got to keep a set and Marty fucked me while I was bound in them the other night...fuck they made me wet!

Away from home...ugh!

You know, I have become such a home body. I never used to be and I certainly still have the international travel bug but when in the US, I just like to be in SF, at my home with my man where everything is comfortable and familiar. Right now, I'm in AZ doing a little modeling and teaching some classes to couples that would like to learn rope bondage. I am in a lovely, lovely hotel and even got upgraded to a suite which is great but it just isn't "home". From the second I leave SF, all I want is to be back there and I immediatly start counting down, like: "okay, only 2 sleeps to go, I can do that"!

And then I think of cybernet...and how the reason I am here doing this is because I am not there...which leads to me looking at the sites I created...which just makes me really sad and then I can't sleep because I just think and think and think about it. Have you seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" where characters can go to Lacuna and have part of their memories removed if something is just to painful to remember? I lost a great, great love of my life, like no other I have ever known...and wish there was something like Lacuna to help me. I had a purpose, now I just feel lost.

Tis the Season to Spend Money!

Agh! One of my shoots in AZ got cancelled. Did I write about this already? Anyway, I send out an e-mail to confirm with the photographer for Friday afternoon and he writes back with a description of the shoot (which we have already discusses at length by phone and e-mail), about half way through I read: "and then I'll start shooting POV while I touch you"...um, no, we never agreed to that. So I wrote him back a nice e-mail saying that no I wasn;t able to do that (and if I was it would be with a much higher rate) and of course the shoot got cancelled...so that was $400 I was counting on I will now not get...agh! I really hate that some producers do that. They book you and deliberately leave details out and then when it's close to (or on) shoot day they tell the truth knowing it will be too late for a model to book another gig and may then just suck it up and do it. Well, peer pressure didn't work on me when I was a teenager, it sure as hell isn't going to work now!

So, of course, as a result of this loss I should NOT be spending money but yes, I did! I bought myself a lovely used (but in excellent condition) Arri 300 light for shooting my new site as well as a stand, a sand bag and some gaffer tape! Then I made the mistake of going to Madame S! Uh, oh! Latex called my name and I bought a stunning black, latex evening gown that I totally cannot afford! It has to be adjusted slightly as I guess my boobs aren't big enough!

The pic is from this morning when I finished up the product shots for AgentSM.

Take care, Chanta!

Busy, busy, busy!

So, yes, today is my Birthday! I'm not saying how old I am BUT if you google me enough you will also find my year of birth. It isn't that I don't accept getting older...I do. It's just that I always though I would be established at this age...and if I was still at CNE that would be the case but as I am not...and because of alll of the time lost wehen I had cancer I feel as if I am starting from scratch...and that is a difficult realisation at my age.

Last night had dinner with the family. I actually wanted to go to "Supperclub" but my mother in law bullied me LOL! First time that has happened! It was fun and I had a goood time but you see no restaurants are open on Monday's so I don't really get to goo out for my b'day this year.

I absolutely forgot to publish my FBN's in the paper within 30 days...can't believe it! Now, tomorrow, amidst all of my busy-ness I have go down to Cuity Hall and do that too...agh!

Okay, gotta go do my make up. Shooting with Larry from Boootiful in about an hour. Not allowed to leave the house because the G5 is supposed to arrive!

Take care, Chanta!

A shot from today!

Hey everyone!

Well, if you ever look at my calender you will know that today I had a gig "shooting" some products! I actually felt like a real photographer and I just have to say: shooting porn is easier! Anyway, the shots were for a new online store a friend of mine is starting up and the model I booked was of course, my new favorite: Satine! Hope you like the shot, and the model!

Take care,

Bondage Sex Class and stuff!

On Wednesday night I did a class at the Citadel titled: "MORE Real Bondage for Sex". It went pretty well but the people were kind of quiet and it was my first ever class NOT to sell out so that was kind of disappointing. I guess my instincts were correct when I told myself I had too many bay area classes scheduled in a short period of time. I said people would get sick of me...and hey, maybe they did. I also spoke with a lot of people a few days before that the class that thought it would be very, very busy...so maybe that is why it wasn;t full...because people thought it would be! Anyway, after my Dec 28th class I won;t do anymore classes that don't have an RSVP system in place.

Satine and her man came to the class and were so cute learning how to tie each other up! There was also one very sexy couple in the back that were really on top of their rope. The guy really picked it up fast so at the end of the class I spent some time with them showing them some nipple ties, etc. he gave me a great compliment, he said: "I've never felt totally comfortable with my rigging but now, after your class I really do"....hearing that made me feel good.

Thursday was a nice day. Slept in with my man, had a nice lunch at "Zazie" in Cole Valley and then went to Cirque do Soleil to see "Corteo" which I absolutely loved! The first act, in particular the ladies swing around on chandeliers absolutely ROCKS!

Gotta go!

More Workshop Pics!

Here's a couple more for you to look at. Enjoy!

Workshop went well and other stuff!

So the Bondage Photography workshop was an absolute riot! I have to say, my classes and workshops are really going to get a reputation for being "naughty". I finally met Satine who I have been playing e-mail tag with on and off for a while now and damn she is HOT! I started off with her in the stocks and seeing how playful she was I decided to vibrate her...next thing I know she was squirting all over me! Wow, that was a surprise! She was totally embarrassed and said she had never done that before which of course, I took as a compliment!

Madison was her normal horny self and kept saying my bondage wasn't tight enough (LOL) so I reminded her that she needed to stay in the postions for a while and that was why i wasn;t being super strict...I guess she wanted the bondage to be hard! So, I did a suspension and made her stay in it for a while, then vibrated her...and then she wanted to come down. The pain comes back as soon as the cumming is over!

Penny Play was also lovely, the picture is of her. I did a lot of pretty decorative stuff with her as I have no idea what her tolerance is for bondage3 and/or pain.

Will upload more pics when I have them.

Another Workshop SOLD OUT!

Woohoo! The bondage photography workshop for tomorrow is totally sold out! I was getting a little concerned when a week ago we only had 4 people reserved; it's an expensive workshop to hold: 3 models, professional studio, gaffer, etc plus me rigging all afternoon and answering lots of questions! Of course everything has to be paid for; the models, studio, etc...but we have now Sold Out so it's all good. We limit the workshop to 9 photographers and most people signed up yesterday...woo, cut it close!

So, I went through the questionnaires for Thursday night's class and more than a couple of people complained about "the guy in the front row that kept interrupting, kept trying to take over, etc". Now I didn't mention this in my last entry because I thought I may be overreacting but no, I guess I wasn't. If you're reading this you know who you are, you are disrespectful and rude and should know better...you will NOT be permitted in one of my classes again. You insulted me and you lessened the quality of the class for others. I'm going to talk to Steve and Jay (Wiseman) about this as they both also teach and I wonder how they would have dealt with it.

Okay, gotta go!
Will write again after the workshop and will hopefully have some pics to share with you too!

Another Class Complete!

Damn, Midori must get tired teaching so many days of the week in different cities. I did 2 nights in a row in my own city and my throat hurts! I mean, talking non stop (well I have no problem doing that) to a room of people 2 nights in a row seems to have worked my vocal cords a little too much or something...I wonder if tying up my man and giving him a blowjob will help that? I hope so, it sounds like fun! Some hot cum might be exactly what my poor throat needs LOL!

I am just finishing burning DVD's of images to go to the publisher in NYC for my book. It's funny, I kept going back to chapters and just cutting a sentence here, and adding a sentence there, etc. I eventually had to stop myself from changing anymore and just leave it to the editor from now on!

Oh, and I also had to add a page with all of the links for stores I reccomend, etc as well as sites that I have. So, that was strange. No point in listing www.chantasbitches.com if I don't plan on doing something with it right? So I listed it, I guess that means I'm doing it! My own version of whippedass...that's actually exactly what i need, I can;t tell you hpw much I miss slapping girls around and fucking them with strap on's, etc! I will now approach the 3 webmasters I know to see which one will give me the fairest deal (I don't have time to webmaster myself when I'm shooting, directing, editing, teaching and writing books...well maybe I could do it but I'm really trying hard not to be a workaholic!).

Okay, gotta go and send these discs off!

"Fucking Great Class"

Now, that is the kind of comment I like to read after teaching a class!

Yep, last night went very well. We limited the class size to 25 which I think was a good idea because any more than that would have been mayhem! We talked about safety, fear, cleaning, pleasure play, pain play and predicament play! My demo model; the gorgeous DragonLily of http://www.dragonlily.net was amazing and had 4 lovely orgasms in front of the crowd all while electrified!

I'm doing another class tonight with DL and am really looking forward to it! These classes are basically a test to see how much interest there is in electro (firstly for women, later for me) before I decide if I will write a book on the subject. I'm fairly certain I will, perhaps in 6 months or so once my "Bondage for Sex" book is out (and hopefully doing well).

Okay, so the picture! This is the hogtie Marty put me in for the first BondagePussycat shoot. I don't have a launch date yet as I need to have at least a months worth of content before launching but I'll be shooting again this Saturday and will then begin the redesign.

Take care,
Chanta
