IML 2013 Program (low res)
CLAW 2013 from my iPhone’s point of view
Here’s a few photos from CLAW 2013 from my iPhone’s point of view.
CLAW is a very interesting Animal. The sense of Brotherhood and Family you experience at this event is a bit different than IML or MAL because there is *NO CONTEST*. You heard me, NO CONTEST. It’s very relaxed. No rushing to contests. But, also like those 2 events, it’s very much a big Family Reunion. You see a lot of people from different clubs around the world come together and see each other for the first time in perhaps years. And of course, there are the Kink Event Virgins (that was a great T-Shirt), that are very much welcome and leave a bit more confident and accepted regarding their interests in Kink.
I had the pleasure of hanging with a couple of “Virgins” as well as running into FOUR of my Icon Detroit Brothers that I had not seen in many, many years. That was really special to me. They haven’t changed a bit.
The classes are a lot of fun. From Pain Play (Flogging) to the Aphrodisiacs Foods Class which was run by my “Uncle George” (I won’t call him “Daddy” he gets pissy when I say Auntie George 😉 ).
I know the work and sacrifice that goes into organizing a volunteer based Kink Event and I gotta say I am truly impressed how much CLAW has grown. The guys who run CLAW, Dennis and Bob, and their countless obviously appreciated volunteers do an amazing job running a *VERY WELL ORGANIZED* Kink Event.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for an amazing weekend.

Book Reading |
For those of you in Chicago later this week, this promises to be a very fun event. The book is a fun murder mystery which takes place at the Mr. and Ms Global Leather (and Bootblack) Competition.
Yes, it pokes fun at you-know-what. (The Leather Titleholer World)

Another Demo from IML 2012
The annual IML show in Chicago was a great event for us. Tons of hot viewers came by our booth to try out and audition to be a part of our new BoundJocks site. One of the furriest and sexiest was Dolan Wolf from the United Kingdom. Our in-house knot expert Knotty Brent had Dolan trussed up in no time and his rock-hard dick was at full attention with the first glance of what he might be in for. Dolan gets more and more aroused the tighter he is suspended and the more people come by and watch – So much in fact he blows his load for the crowd’s enjoyment (and ours too)!
Another “BOUND JOCKS” Video from IML 2012
The annual IML show in Chicago was a great event for us. Bondage legend Derek Pain wanted to get tied up and displayed at the BoundJocks’ booth as well. His muscles bulge as the ropes pull him completely off the ground and he swings back and forth like a huge slab of beef. He moans loudly through his rope gag as Knotty Brent tortures his balls and nipple for the crowd!
