Betreff:         Two Photos of Cuffed Ladies
Datum:    Wed, 1 Jan 2003 23:57:53 -0500

Dear Max ,

    Here are two more photos of pretty ladies in bracelets for your collection , that I came across in my Web wanderings :

The lady at left is the Italian actress Monica Vitti , in the role of Modesty Blaise . It came from the Modesty Blaise web page at  http://www.cs.umu.se/~kenth/modesty.html  [Kent Hedlundh] . 

The second photo is that of a martial arts Chinese lady - I don't know her name - who appears to be shackled to a railing :

 This latter photo came from the Amazon Connection web page , authored by Thomas Gramstad , at http://folk.uio.no/thomas/lists/amazon-connection.html  . It seems that even Amazons occasionally find themselves in chrome bracelets !

    I hope these will be of interest . My best wishes for a happy New Year , Max .

    Rob.



Hi Max
 

On p57 you have a pic of a Chinese lady dressed in red.

I know where that picture came from. It came from the movie Streetfighter the Movie, and was a film version of the popular Capcom game that was on the Nintendo Consoles and arcade machines.

The character is Chun Li and the actress name is Ming Na Wen.

Keep up the gr8 site

Hey, I have a comment for a picture thats on the By the People Page 57.
The very first set of pictures has one by that model in the wedding dress, and the next one is a pic of a chinese lady shackled to a bar.  I know the identity of that Chinese lady.  Her name is Ming-Na, and she played a character called Chun-Li, in the 1994 American movie "Street Fighter".

Please post this by the picture, thanks.

Brian

Girls charged in bomb threat taken to court in handcuffs and shackles

 November 8, 2002

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Three high school girls charged with writing a bomb threat on bathroom walls at the school were  held in juvenile detention for 21 days

 Two 15-year-olds were arrested Thursday at Bartram Trail High School, and a 16-year-old  was arrested at her home.
All three are charged with making a false report of bombing or arson against state-owned
 property, which is a second-degree felony.
 

The girls appeared in a St. Johns County courtroom in  handcuffs and leg irons . They were crying, as were  some of the girls' mothers.

Dear Max ,

    I'd like to pass along some information to you and Bianca fans about two TV shows I saw recently in which there was some interesting footage of  women in chain gangs , and about bounty hunters .     The show , "The Secret World of Bounty Hunters" , was on TLC (The Learning Channel) this evening . There were many scenes in this program of bail skips being pounced on and cuffed by bounty hunters who had chased them down . The several
women fugitives included in the stories were secured in handcuffs and led away to jail . Of particular interest to me was a lady bailbondsman and bounty hunter , Becky Clark of Little Rock , Arkansas , a very determined and tough woman indeed . To quote her , "After you've hunted men , you don't want to hunt anything else" . My kind of gal !
    A week ago there was another fascinating program on TLC , "Great Prisons" . In this one hour documentary there were segments about Alcatraz, Sing Sing , and that enormous women's prison at Chowchilla , California [Central California Women's Facility] where Joan Lunden stayed for a while (I referred to that in an earlier message) . However , the most interesting place visited in the program was called "Tent City" , in Phoenix , Arizona .
    This is part of the county jail system of Maricopa County , which includes the city of Phoenix . Tent City is a prison camp : part labor camp , and part boot camp . It has become quite famous in the U.S. , or infamous , or notorious , according to your point of view . It was set up by Sheriff  Joe Arpaio , who calls himself the toughest sheriff in the U.S. . News
media interest in him was aroused by his introduction of chain gangs using convict  labor from his jails . These included women chain gangs , the first anywhere in the world . The TLC documentary showed footage of men and wome n in the chain gangs , doing manual labor around Phoenix . There were also scenes of squads of women in their black-and-white striped chain gang suits, wearing heavy leather work boots and leg irons , being marched about on  parade by drill sergeants like soldiers . An amazing sight , Max !

    I mention these two TV programs because TLC often reruns their documentaries several times , and I thought that alert readers might keep an eye out for them for later airings , possibly during the summer , for instance .

    Here are several references to chain gangs that interested readers might want to check out on the Internet :

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's web site :
http://www.mcso.org/submenu.asp?file=aboutsheriff&page=1  (
the entire web site is quite remarkable and worth looking through) .

The "Virile America" web page :
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/centralparkattacks/ref21.html
This shows a half  dozen or so photos of the women convicts in their chain gangs .

The "American Chain Gang" web page :
http://www.finishingpictures.com/prom/americanchain.html
This describes a 90 minute long movie that was produced in the late 1990s about Arizona's men and women chain gangs . It may be commercially  available from the production company , Finishing Pictures . See their web site [home page] for further information, including a contact address .

The web page news article , "IN : Women in Chains" , by Bob Witanek , found
at the web site URL :
http://www.prisonactivist.org/pipermail/prisonact-list/1996-May/000350.html
.
This features interviews with several women inmates in an Indiana prison , who were quite enthusiastic about getting on the new women's chain gangs being set up in that state . It may surprise you to learn that many women prisoners actually prefer to work outside doing useful jobs in the community , instead of enduring the boredom and monotony of prison routine
. They don't seem to mind being chained and/or leg-shackled while doing it. I noticed this in the "Great Prisons" documentary on TLC . The men really disliked the chain gangs , and had to be forced to serve on them ; they were clearly unhappy about marching around , hauling their chains . The women prisoners interviewed , on the contrary , viewed their time on the work groups as a positive experience , making close friends with their "chain sisters" (there are usually five women linked together per chain) . They even had
friendly conversations with Sheriff Arpaio when he visited among them on his
inspection tours . I conclude - and I hope lady readers won't take offense - that women adapt to captivity easier than men

"Arizona Chain Gangs" , by Richard Rossi :
http://solo6.abac.com/sharon8301/Chain%20Gangs.htm
Rossi is on Death Row in Arizona , and was drafted into a chain gang when the prison
authorities decided that even their condemned criminals had to stop loafing around and
do some sort of outdoor work  . The "chaining experience" he describes undoubtedly applies also to the women chain gang prisoners in that State .
 

So much for now . My best regards as always , Max .

    Rob.

Hi Max

Just now, the Clejuso 19 R  arrived in my hands . I am very happy and pleased
seeing its nice finish. Though it weights only 300 g, it seems more heavier than that. On the
receipt of it, I went into my room and locked it on my wrists and double locked it and threw the key away

 I spent 15 min self-cuffed. It is very simple to lock, but not an easy task to come out of it.

As this is the first experience with a cuff  I am really excited. Its weight  seems
heavy.  I am afraid about a Clejuso Heavy Weight 1400gms. It will be a severe punishment if someone is cuffed in it and left for some hours (?).

Soon i'll order a Clejuso Heavy Weight !

M.

Bondage Fantasies – VCD Review by John Steel

The VCD "Bondage Fantasies" is up to an excellent beginning with a piece of sterling dialogue between Holly, the beautiful bondage model, who is restrained on a hospital bed by humane restraints, and a doctor.
She is restrained in medical leather restraints by her wrists and ankles. To Holly's repeated questioning whether he is going to let her out, the doctor keeps answering "All in good time." The doctor leaves Holly
with the keys, but she is unable to free herself, even with the keys to the padlocked humane restraints. This inability to free herself even with the correct keys is a recurring and amusing topic. Greetings from Franz Kafka!

The continuation of the first part of this excellent video intersperses black and white scenes with Holly and the doctor with scenes where Holly finds herself in a variety of situations as a damsel in distress,
very much in line with the Avengers and John Willie's Sweet Gwendolyn, to which references are also made. It is also a neat idea that it is the conversational scenes in the "psychiatrist's" office, which are black and white, whereas the bondage fantasies scenes are in
color (underlain with beautiful classical and not-so-classical music, such as for instance Ravel's Bolero). The bondage fantasies include outdoors scenes with Holly tied tightly on a chair; handcuffed to a
tree; being tied up in a straitjacket and leg-ironed (in heavy Clejuso cuffs), then being led away; handcuffed and leg-ironed to a tree;
"handcuff-collared" and handcuffed to a tree; corseted and roped to a ladder in a dungeon-like scenario; roped to a tree (closely following a famous illustration in John Willie's Sweet Gwendolyn); chained with an iron collar to the walls, with medieval shackles around writs and ankles, wearing a corset and ankle-length leather boots (one of my favorite scenes); being a convict of the former East German regime in hinged VoPo handcuffs and in striped prison garb, unable to free herself even with a key.

We only describe the first section out of three in some detail here. The other two sections are similarly exciting and entertaining to the connoisseur of bondage fantasies. The second section sees Holly in an
orange prison costume, first chained in transport restraints and later in U-shaped shackles around neck, wrists and ankles, connected by spreader bars. Despite the fact that the keys are usually accessible, the pretty captive is usually helpless and on occasion quite immobilized.

The final section has a highly amusing "I want to be restrained in a way so that I can't eat chocolate" topic. Holly wakes up in her nightgown, safely secured in Martin's Fiddle (a middle-ages-inspired metal
restraint, which keeps the neck and the hands firmly secured). We see Holly powdering her nose, walking down and up and down a staircase, opening the fridge, and -- eating chocolate. The latter of course defeats
the purpose of the restraint, so that Holly orders stocks, which keeps her hands in another rigid "hands-up" position, this time sufficiently far away from her chocolate-graving mouth. 

The whole movie is shot on Max's enviable rural estate . The script is indeed carefully crafted and "not off the cuff" (pun intended), as Holly emphasizes at the end of the movie, flashing her cuffed hands.

If you like damsels in distress movies and metal restraints in particular, you cannot afford to miss this little gem. Bondage Fantasies is a highly entertaining and aesthetically pleasing bondage flick,
which warrants repeated watching. I would finally like to add that Max's customer service is nothing short of spectacular!
