Two Big Meanies

I love shooting with Dreina! She’s smart, sassy, sexy, and a TOTAL wiseass. Her mouth is constantly writing checks that her ass can’t cover, which is just about the way I like it. Not that I need an excuse to hurt her, really, but it’s nice to feel justified. *g*

Also, she and I have been friends forever, so the chemistry is really good and the communication is really solid, which makes for some hot scenes. This particular one was our first time playing together on-camera, and one of my favorites overall.

We started off with me using flex cuffs to secure her to the rack so that she’d be nice and still while I cut her clothes into tiny shreds with my knife. Once she was exposed, I had a lot of fun flogging, slapping and caning her breasts! (more…)

Okay, been too long since we posted naughty pictures. ^-^ Lauren’s got a blog entry about our first shoot with Dreina (just up in the store) coming late this week, but in the meantime here are some stills samples from Hurting Sadee. They’re half the size of what we include in the zipfiles, but should display nicely after the cut… the middle and last ones are linked to fullsize versions.

One of my other partners and I are teaching a verbal play workshop at the Wet Spot this Saturday titled ‘Talk Like a Deviant’. It’s one we’ve done before- intense but good, both scary and hot. We’re taking the summer off after this, next workshop will probably be October-ish. If you’re interested in coming, drop me a line at flirtsinc@metalcat.com!

While we’re getting caught up on our various reviews, I thought that I’d write about one of my favorites–though it isn’t properly a review at all, but more a very positive mention.

A couple of weeks ago, Dan Savage, editor-in-chief of The Stranger, used TBM as an illustration of ethical BDSM porn in his column Savage Love.

I was thrilled, of course, not only because of his kind words but also because I read and enjoy Savage Love regularly, and have an ever-increasing amount of respect for its author. (The free publicity from a widely-read and nationally-syndicated column kicked a lot of ass, too. *g*)

Check it out, and then work your way through the column’s archives, because there’s a lot of good stuff in there!

I’m really excited about a workshop here in Seattle this Sunday: Moving Bodies Through Space: Body Manipulation and Control to Enhance Your Bondage Scene. Not a takedown workshop exactly, but it’s a lot of the same skills. Lauren and I are going, along with some other people we know…

Sleepy so not with the eloquent, but if you’re in town this should be well worth the Sunday afternoon.

We just got a nice review from SugarBank; related to SugarClick (mentioned earlier), but covering the site in its current incarnation.

Couple quotes that made me happy:

“It’s refreshing to see BDSM presented as something sexy and loving, not tortured and degrading.”
and
“Sites this good make the future of porn seem a little brighter”

Less happy about the reviewer characterizing enjoying BDSM as ‘ever so slightly wrong in the head’.

And I’m not sure how I feel about being compared to Right Said Fred. :)

Here’s something fun and a little different–a sample of outtakes from the Provoking Ktty shoot.

We like to include outtakes in our video footage whenever we can. Sometimes things don’t happen as we plan them, and I think that it’s as important to show how we handle it when things go wrong as it is to show everything going right. Also, it’s pretty damned amusing. I mean, honestly, the potential for unintended hilarity in any form of sex is pretty high, more so with BDSM, and especially so when you’re filming the whole thing. This particular scene had more than its share of Murphy’s Law moments. *g* Between a higher than usual amount of the Obstinacy of Inanimate Objects and Ktty’s tendency to turn into a wiseass as soon as she thinks the camera’s not pointed at her, we got some great material. Enjoy!

We’ve been reviewed by a number of places over time- this set all predates our switch to pay-per-download.

Janesguide reviewed us when we first launched, then re-reviewed us a year or so later. Favorite quotes:
“There is a deep level of care, friendship, and fun that penetrates the whole project.”
“fun, sassy, kinky, vibrant, and intimately nasty BDSM delivered with a grin and a punch.”

Audacia Ray gave us another nice review on SugarClick (I’m not sure if they’re related to SugarBank or not, I’d kind of assume so). The pull quote was “BDSM scenes that are playful, hot and respectful of both viewer and doer,” which I liked.

TheBestPorn.com gave us a very thorough review early on, and a quick revisit last year. They’ve got some really neat ideas with building numeric scores based on different criteria and totaling them, I like the transparency that gives the final number. We got a medium-good number, but they also did four separate full-page editor reviews (and paragraph re-reviews)! I wish those were more visually apparent on the page, it actually took me a bit to notice them and I think getting the four different perspectives is really informative. We’re going to try to get a complete re-review with these guys soon, since we’ve made such a major format change. They didn’t have quite so much in the way of little sound-bite quotes, probably the best was “a quality fetish package with a lot of personality.”

Jaxon Jagonov also gave us a nice review. My favorite quote:
“Everyone’s having authentic fun on TwoBigMeanies. They’re doing what comes naturally and expressing their freaky thing with gusto. And while they’re having fun, they’re also aware they’ve got a paying audience, and they do a good job of being entertaining. It can’t be an easy balance to strike – having real sex (or whatever you want to call what they’re doing) while also simultaneously putting on an entertaining performance, but TwoBigMeanies does it admirably.”
