Alright people! Gather round now, gather round! It's time for Scene 1 with your host, Merrick, and the infamous Twisted Monk!

That's right, the first scene from last summer is finally live in the Members Only area. *glee!*

An Introduction to Twisted Monk, 69 pics of bondage-y fun, awaiting NM.com Members! :)
Members can also read a bit more about this first scene in the MO blog post, More About Scene 1.

I could not be more pleased with how it turned out; Monk did some really awesome ties, my photographer captured really lovely tones and compositions, and I had a nice relaxing hammock of rope around me. ;D Makal was nearby operating the camcorder for Monk's own media endeavors... I'm sure it overheard some pretty amusing conversation as we quickly set to work putting me in rope, not an hour after meeting for the first time. :)

And yes--in case you REALLY have to ask--that rope is indeed real; nothing but the finest hemp from Twisted Monk! You gotta love that stuff. :)

As Monk said, here's "something hot on a cold, cold day."

I am finally getting the originals from all four scenes of the shoot I did with Twisted Monk during the summer of 2008. I swear, it took Monk less than an hour after I first emailed him about the previews to have some up on his blog. Eep! He moves pretty quick for a frozen Seattlite!

I hate to be bested, so I tried getting in here right away to post some of my own faves for teasers, but I ran in to publishing issues with the Blogger/Google servers and was delayed. Boo. But, now the problem has magically fixed itself, so let the teasing begin! Yay!



To jog your memory, we did four scenes that day. The first was a horizontal suspension (aftershot above), then a complete inversion (immediate below), a sort of predicament set-up with some time off the ground (middle below), and then a big ol' punching bag and candle wax scene to end the day (bottom).



You guys... seriously, I know I've been saying this since the shoot but y'all are gonna flip your lid once I have some time to get all the goodies up in the Members Only area! (I should begin uploading stuff this week.) This is SO just the beginning.



I'll post again when each new set is up; first I need to sort and watermark the full-size images from my lovely photographer Todd (didn't he do a smashing job?!). In the meantime, I have a video game to go be addicted to...



You can read about the experience in my PF post "Bottoming to The Monk: It's kind of Like Meeting Captain Kirk", as well as my "Behind the Scenes" Members Only post. I'll be making separate MO posts about each scene to, as those go live. Stay tuned!
