***This is the day we shot with KEN MARCUS!!! I MEAN KEN FUCKING MARCUS!!! This man is an amazing photographer, and as it turned out, also an incredibly interesting man.
Started emailing Ken a few months prior so we could do some brainstorming about what we might want to shoot. Ken visited our website to take a look at who we are and what we “do”. After viewing our video clip previews he felt strongly that it would be best if he were to just shoot video and let us go at it! We have never had anyone film us during intense interactions so the idea of having it captured in a “new light” was very exciting to us.
His girl, Mollie, escorted us in, showed us through the studio and into the dressing room area. She explained that Ken was on the phone so we got busy unpacking our clothing and I finished fussing with my make-up. I had butterflies - not only were we going to shoot with Ken Marcus, it was the first time this trip that K would get to do some serious violence to my body. I was wet, very wet. Ken appeared in the dressing room and we all got acquainted. We spent some time walking through the studio looking at gear and equipment so we could plan out our shoots for the afternoon. This is the part where I don’t get filled in on all the details…
Scene 1 – I am strapped in the horse and a variety of implements (which I did not get to see) are used on my exposed flesh – any exposed flesh. K and I are both a bit nervous.
Scene 2 – Attached to the red leather X Frame. K attaches mouse traps on my nipples and a variety of clips all over my breasts, belly, arms and thighs, taking huge chunks of skin where ever possible. This is going to hurt. I have to pee. Too bad I am told. Instead of allowing me to pee, K attaches a pair of Lock Jaw pliers to my pussy – THE WHOLE MEATY PUSSY – he grabs as much labia as he can and applies the pliers. Oh yes it hurt - the entire time - but I suddenly forgot all about peeing. Then he tells me time to take all the clips off. I do not remember which flogger/crop was used, but I do remember that most every clip required 2 – 3 – 6 hits to get off because they were on so well. Incredible agony, plus I really began to feel the pressure in my bladder. I again told K I needed to pee, but he was not done with the clips. Finally, I am begging to pee…
You will have to watch the video to see the rest www.kenmarcus.com
Scene 3 – Human punching bag. I love how violent this feels. I love his fists pummeling into my flesh. I love that someone else was there to watch our violence. I love how little and special I feel in the afterglow. Not giving anymore away – this one you will have to see. I know Ken is editing footage. We will keep you posted when it is available.
Afterwards we spent some time chatting with Ken. We really would have enjoyed extending our time and getting to know him a bit better but had plans that evening (Day 7, part 2).
Ken, thank you for a fantastic experience and we look forward to seeing you in October!***

MY LOVE writes:***We got some bad news yesterday. My 15 year old kitty, Greyster, is not going to be with us much longer. I took him to the vet because he was getting sick, looked very gaunt and breathing heavily. Turns out he has an enlarged liver and spleen, some fluid around his lungs and what appears to be a growth near his heart.
There are very few options for a number of reasons; he has diabetes (has had for about 6 years), he is feline HIV positive and he is old. Chemo is one option, but it will likely kill him in the process and if it doesn't, it may extend his life a few months at best. The other option is to keep him comfortable and give him a medication which we started today, it's function it to slow the growth and stop the fluid build-up in his lungs. This will buy us a month or so, if we are lucky, but the vet felt that was very optimistic.
After all the tears - and there will be many more - we are going to do our best to spoil and love him to the max. When his breathing becomes to difficult our vet will come to the house.
He has been with me for a long time. He outlasted my longest relationship (11 years) and is definitely a big part of life.
I will miss him.***

It was probably our second day in Los Angeles, while we were still staying at the Miyako, that I went for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was hot and traffic was kind of heavy at that time. I was walking past a building when I saw a lady ahead of me stop and begin to chuckle. The mirth in her eyes made me pause long enough to see what she was smiling about. Pointing to side of the building, I looked and saw this:
I smiled at her and said "No Thank You!", and then walked off. When I looked back she was still standing there chuckling...

The day MY LOVE shot for Fetish Nation www.FetishNation.com was the first day I accompanied her to the set while we were in California. It was unclear whether or not I would be participating, so I brought along a change of clothes, just in case. I also brought the laptop so that I could get some work done instead of just standing around on the set.
We arrived, were introduced to Ian and his rigger, and shown around. I asked if there was internet access and where it was best to situate myself so that I was out of their way. As MY LOVE did the finishing touches on her make-up I set up the computer and began to work.
Believe it or not, I didn’t hear Ian throw MY LOVE into the wall. There was a lot of noise coming from the studio and I probably let it fall into the background so that I could concentrate on whatever I was doing. It’s funny and scary to think – she could have been in real distress and crying out for my help, and I might not have heard her right away. That’s how focused I can sometimes get. These are the rare moments when my mind isn’t so full of noise that I want to scream, yet I don’t hear much that’s happening around me. I typed away at the computer while MY ONE AND ONLY was being beaten and thrown around in the next room. What a great sentence.
Ian came through the door that separated the studio from the office, when they were finished with the first scene, and told me that there was a hole in the wall. I think he blamed it on MY LOVE, which was just hilarious. I went to look at the damage and was quite impressed with what I saw. We all had a good laugh at it, and I can’t wait to see the footage! Throughout the first half of the day, Ian would come into the office where I was sitting at the computer, and just shoot the shit with me. These were the moments when his rigger was working and he had no reason to be on the set. I think we warmed up to each other because of these little talks. By the end of the day I had abandoned the computer and was in the studio watching things happen.
I was entertained and aroused, but more than anything I felt relaxed, and I can’t really explain why. I don’t think the smile ever left my face. Ian was very genuine, and not what I’d call “typical” in any way. While shooting he tried to keep up a steady verbal assault but at times would get stuck, and what came out of his mouth clearly didn’t please him. He’d sort of lift his eyebrows, shrug his shoulders, smirk and then move right along. I don’t know if he cuts out these moments during the editing process but I’d enjoy his stuff with or without it. I appreciate anything that is real and he didn’t seem to be putting on much of an act. It just seemed like Ian being Ian while the camera was rolling. I don’t get that impression often when I am watching this sort of stuff.
There is indeed a scene that involves 10 feet of chain and since we are going to wind up with the footage, instead of it showing up on Fetish Nation, I think I can go ahead and talk about it briefly. MY LOVE was bound and then given the task of inserting 10 feet of chain into her pussy. I won’t tell you how much she got inside her, but I will tell you about the moment that it seemed clear she was filled to capacity. She was slowing down and Ian was sitting between her legs, getting a good look at her efforts. You could tell MY LOVE was reaching her limit and I think Ian was ready to shift the direction of the scene, but I leaned over and whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head and a moment later was telling her that she had to get 7 more links in her pussy. It was a command, and this is just what MY LOVE needed to push her that extra step. More than anything, this little freak likes to “make it through” her masochistic challenges. No matter the source of the pain nor its immediate effect, she thrives on making it through and therefore making me/herself proud. That’s what those extra seven links of chain were all about.
We had a great day. Ian was most hospitable and we very much appreciated the opportunity to meet and work with him. I’m not certain, but I think MY LOVE is planning on scheduling with him when we go back to California in October. Fun!
