DragonLily is BACK!!!!

Goddamn, I whooped this girls ass today and she took it all. So great to see her back into BDSM and loving it!

I was not sure of my strategy for today. DL had taken a long time off of modeling, etc due to some personal problems and was now ready to "try" and come back. As we are good friends, and she did pretty much all of her "first's" with me she wanted to come back and be a bitch for the site...to test the waters. I was fairly sure I was going to have to take things slowly but that was not the case at all. I decided on a different tactic: sink or swim. Risky? Maybe, but I felt confident DL could take it and the result was great bondage, lots of anal electro and ass fucking, harsh cat-o-nine tailing and the most vicious face slapping (constantly) of any shoot I have ever done. It was amazing, really amazing...and what was even better was how happy DL looked before, during and after to have been able to play again and not have any (negative) emotional issues with BDSM.

DL, I speak for every fan of BDSM porn when I write this, we are very, very happy to have you back.

2006 Taxes!!!

Woohoo, I am sealing the envelope right now to be sent to my accountant for my personal and company taxes for last year. I spent hours and hours yesterday stewing over bank statements, cheque stubs and receipts to get things as accurate as possible....crazy money spent last year, like $194,000 in deductions...goddamn, and I thought I was frugal! Well, hopefully there will be a nice refund. Getting the house to code is costing a fucking fortune.

Ugh, I'm mad.

In the past couple of days I have heard from 2 models that would not do waterbondage (tank scenes) again due to carelessness. Now, I should not care, if anything I should be laughing my ass off just a little bit but I do care, and it does make my blood boil. I may not work there now, I may even think the website has been slaughtered since my departure but I am proud of what I did there. The bondage, the tanks, etc, and to hear this just makes me mad. It is not that hard to be safe on this set...actually it is even more of a necesity than on any normal bondage set where a director/rigger/crew, etc should be at 110% attention at all times. So when I hear that a tank scene gets started before a safe signal has been discussed, or that even after it is discussed that it doesn't get noticed when used, that the model is forgotten about, even for just a few seconds (which I am sure is all it was) I feel it...but then that was always one of my problems in that company, was that i would "feel" things and then react to them....but why even more madness? I'm on the phone with an agent confirming a model who does quite a bit of BDSM and she's a little stressed about the shoots...for a number of reasons but one is because she was apparently dropped on her head in a tank (third person heresay...I'll find out the full story next week first hand) on her WB shoot. Great, fucking great.

Becoming Berlin

Many of you know of my good friend Berlin (if you don't just check out my top friends), about a year and a half ago we met at the Pleasure Chest in LA where I was teaching some classes. She took the plunge into bondage modeling and fast became known as the resident bitch on Chanta's Bitches.

Now, if there was ever any doubt whether ot not she deserved this title I can say with 110% certainty that she has proven it! We shot yesterday in a shoot I can barely describe with words.

I don't want to give too much away because it will take some time to get this one edited but it is fucking AWESOME.

I had a key to Berlin's hotel room and at 5am I burst in there with my crew, pulled the sheets back off the bed, tied her hands behind her back and started fucking her already wet pussy with my strapon...making sure it was one of my biggest cocks and one Berlin has mentioned in the past that she is scared of. Things went from there. We did all kinds of nice and nasty things, from torturing her with some abandonment, to fucking her ass, to very, very mean pussy punishment, and even a quick guest appearance by my cattle prod.

If Berlin had not become Berlin before this, she definitely has now.

Deadlines...

So busy. I plan such an ambitious schedule for myself at times...okay, all of the time. I don't mind so much when I see a light at the end of the tunnel. The light this time was supposed to be a vacation with hubby. We are really trying to break the "live to work" culture that is so deeply rooted within us both but I guess that culture has won out yet again and I don't think we're going anywhere (was supposed to be second week of September, possibly Brazil). This is not just because we're workaholics though, it is also because we are currently having our house (an 1894 victorian) brought up to code (lots of plumbing and electrical work) and it is costing a fucking fortune. I can't help but feel fucked in the ass when the contractor keeps coming up with new work order requests that we apparently *need* but were not in the original quote, eg, new breaker box: $6900. Um, how could you not have noticed our crappy old breaker box when you first came and did your walk throughs to give a quote, etc?

Still haven't done our 2006 taxes either...very bad of me. I was so determined not to leave it until the last minute of the extension this year because we are due a substantial refund and basically the longer I take to file taxes, the longer the IRS gets to earn interest off of our money and we don't...but getting Captive Male ready for launch means I probably won;t have thjis done until mid-september...oh well, that's one month before deadline.

Ciao for now...

Lost in Translation!

LOL, so I am currently editing the Chanta's Bitches shoot with Annette Schwarz, a model I have wanted to work with for quite some time now.

Prior to the shoot date I had some members e-mail me asking that a small amount of German be spoken during the shoot. Now, I can speak a fair bit of German but not the dirty words so Annette had to teach me some before the shoot. I think it turned out great, but now that I'm editing it I am noticing that we spoke A LOT of German...and as I have a huge english speaking membership I am adding subtitles to the shoot...and it is taking FOREVER!!!

So, once this video is done I think it will be awesome but damn, it is going to take me a lot longer than usual!

10 Days

Yesterday I felt so happy, so relieved that my crazy intense shooting schedule is finally over...for 10 days anyhow. On the 19th August it starts up again and is crazy again, although not as crazy as it has been. From the 7th July until now, Twisted Factory has completed 58 shoots. That's 58 shoots in 2 months. 17 of which are for the new site Captive Male which will launch on September 1st. So...it's not as if I am going to be spending this 10 days lazing around. There is much, much work to be done and a ridiculous amount of video to be edited (LOL< and my editor has next week off) but I do plan to have some fun. Lunch with friends, maybe a mini break with hubby. All of my friends in Tampa right for FetishCon are asking me to fly out there for a couple of days seeing as people I do not want to see aren't actually there this year...but it's just a bit too far to go!

Okay, off to work...but not at the Twisted Factory, but rather from the comfort of my office full of G5's!

There are 2 kinds of people in the world.

1. The fighters. When bad things happen to them they just keep on plugging. It's not that they do not know depression, or bad news or sometimes even want to quit but there is a drive deep down inside them to keep going, to try harder, etc. The bad things may even make them more determined in whatever it is they are struggling with (a job, a relationship, a lawsuit, etc). I am not saying these people do not know when to walk awawy but I am saying they know when to keep going.

2. The quitters. These are the people that when confronted with something bad decide just to feel sorry for themselves and give up. As if that were not pathetic enough, they then decide to blame others for it. Now, in some cases blaming others may be accurate...but not always, and even if this is the case is it reason enough to be a quitter? They are also dramatic. They will take something that isn't even in the equation and throw it in the mix. Just so they can have more reasons to feel sorry for themselves, and of course be able to justify their "quitter" nature to themselves.

If you haven't already guessed I am in group 1. I am a fighter. Even at the height of my manic depression when I wanted to slit my wrists daily I still managed to open an online store, write one of the best selling bondage books in the world and start a website. Trust me, I did not want to get out of bed any day during that time (and some days I wouldn't) but for some unknown reason (it certainly was not a will to live) I kept going, and I still keep going, and fighting, and pushing further and trying harder. For the most part general bad news, rumors from the enemy and other crap that goes on daily just makes me more determined. Although life would be easier without it!

Take care,
Chanta
