    I haven't giggled this hard in EVER. Just the picture of some old Pakistani grandmother holding up a whip...priceless. And the two deadpan and shy brothers made me smile.

    "Recently, when a curious employee inquired about the purpose of the sleep sack, a sleeping bag-like product used in certain kinds of bondage, she was told it was a body bag for the American military in Iraq."


    Yep. That's our military -- so messed up that fetish equipment could conceivably be used by them for non-sexual purposes.


    Ah, well. At least these guys are making a buck. I hope that they pay their employees well!

    @baraqiel: I could believe that. I mean, we use spare metal for armor, why not bondage gear for body bags?

    @LocalStMary: Well, for one thing, they don't cover the head from what I can tell. Also: "The wearer is placed in the sack, many sacks have zipped internal pockets to secure the arms at the side and to prevent the wearer from moving them. Once the arms are secured the sack is zipped up. Most sleep sacks also have rows of d-rings either side of the zip to allow the sack to be laced tightly around the wearer." If I was sewing that and was told it was for a corpse, I would be mighty suspicious.

    I loved this story. That being said, I wouldn't buy this company's gear (fetish fashion stuff is different). I have a lot of experience with kinky gear, and companies run by "vanilla" people very rarely get it right. The best toys are made by people who play with them, because they understand what their kinky customers need.

    A major perk, they say, is attending international fetish shows to see how their products hold up in action.


    "No, no, no... you are doing it all wrong... here, let me show you... always use downward strokes, like this..."

    (a) That is so awesome for them. I hope this article doesn't get them in trouble.


    (b) I was skeptical that the workers wouldn't figure out what they were making until I saw that first item and couldn't really figure out the point.


    (c) Why can't we have pretty buses like they do in Pakistan?!

    @mervbaby: I was shocked how good that movie was! I was expecting so little, and it's incredible. I guess just because it came so soon after No Country...

    I love on the bonus features where Ethan says, (paraphrasing), "It's a movie about high level government business and the world of physical fitness. Two worlds that rarely are examined together..."

    Bettie usually came across as sex-positive and fun with zero shame in her photos, that was what made her great in the otherwise sexually puritanical 40's and 50's. She was the type who would kick down your bedroom door and pin you to the ground, just for a kiss. I'll toast a Manhattan to her tonight.
