Graydancer urges you to vote early & often at the Bondage Awards, where he is nominated for Best Rigger, Best Writer, and for best Free Site with the Ropecast. If he gets in the top 3, there will be a special celebratory vidcast featuring Foxy Veronica's Peach Pies, and if he makes number 1, he has committed to taking the Ropecast back to a weekly format!

Wondering if he rates? Well, you can always check out his Gallery, with things like the new Scientist Project, for some examples of quality free bondage!

Back from Beat Me In St. Louis, Graydancer shares some of the joys shared with people like Lily & A'ja, T-One, Jonn Ireland, Lee Harrington, Rita Seagrave (also featured on Hogtied this month!), and more. Learn about rope versions of gangbangs, specifically the "knot bang" and the "cable." Got ideas of your own? Email graydancer@gmail.com and share them!

Lew Rubens and Graydancer then talk bondage as the lovely Mai (pictured here) struggles in the Puppetry Suspension developed by Lew.

Got an iPod 5G? Want to record some material for the ropecast? Graydancer will give away a Griffin iTalk recorder to whoever gives him the best reason to! Email your voice, your pics, and your reasons to graydancer@gmail.com

Listener feedback on the advantages of being a rope switch when learning how to rig, and thoughts on types of rope to use. Talking about Dark Odyssey (with special thanks to native guide Naiia, who was often naked as native guides should be) he mentions some of the presenters and friends there: Extreme Restraints toys are reviewed: the deluxe adjustable nipple clamps (pictured above), the circular nipple clamps, and the ones every rope top should have in their bag (but not for the reason you think!): the Nipplettes Vibrating Nipple Clamps! Also, a review of the tres chic Extreme Anal Jewelry. Feb. 20th was Lolita Wolf's birthday, and to celebrate, Michael the Artist is donating all proceeds from his two stores (Zazzle and Spreadshirt) to the NCSF! A great way to buy rope schwag for a good cause and make Lolita happy. Speaking of making Lolita happy, the main feature of this ropecast is the interview with the Leather Yenta herself, including the actual entry of Graydancer into her 100 Divas Spanking List!
