Hello everyone,
I've got some good news for you. Autumn has updated her deviantart page with new pics of Layla. But the poor dear must not be doing well...she's turning *gasp* into a brunette. I'll let you judge for yourself if the added brown to her hair excites you. Or could it be the latex she is wearing? Hmm..anyway:

MiniReview 1: Alice in Wonderland
I dragged Tony off to see the new Tim Burton's Alice today. I made a trade of sorts, we will go and see Clash of the Titans when it comes out. Anywho, the movie was pretty good. Mia Wasikowska makes a wonderful grown up Alice. I will say there comes a time that you might want to bop a few certain "realworld" characters in their stuck up noses though. Alice undergoes a steady transformation in the movie that is done well. Personally I love the fact that she is never really a damsel of any kind in this film. She is assertive, brave but is a def lady in her own right. And she has beautiful hair...why did the actress cut it off recently? I won't give away the overall plots of the movie, but let me say that Depp as the Mad Hatter was great. He brought alot of depth to the character beyond simply being...well..mad.
I highly recommend you might review your Alice in Wonderland Disney animated movie before seeing it. The movie pretty much expects you to have a decent understanding of the Alice story.

MiniReview 2: The Blonde "Double Cross"
Artist Franco Saudelli is quite possibly the best non-DA artist I am aware of when it comes to bondage art. I've known of his character "The Blonde" for quite awhile and used her as a background element in my own alter ego "The Blonde Binder".
In the first adventure of The Blonde, the setting is Lonely Babylonia..a city set into the future. The future where flying cars and robots are common place. Yet, modern day tech like tv is still used and the clothing not way out there.
The Blonde is just that, blonde. She is physically fit and dons black capris, black high heels (a Saudelli staple), a bow tie, black bra and a black domino mask. She has no special abilities but is highly trained to bind up ppl. She studies on her skill in the book even. She is no ditz btw. She is clever and quick on her feet.
In the story she has escaped from prison using her wits. Shortly after, she decides she is going to steal the spokes lady for a type of chip. However things quickly fall apart that ends up including tied up maids, nurses, scientists and many more.
Let me say that this is not a comic for those who are wanting to see sex. It is a bondage comic and there is a ton of bondage in it. You will also see that their is virtually no men in the story. Some cops appear but that's about it and they play no real role in the story or scenes. Nudity is in the story but not a main focus either. The story is cute and runs well. I had a little problem following which panel to go to next but maybe I was having a blonde moment..lol. Here is a quickie breakdown:
Panels with bondage: 113 (in main story) 15 (in short comic in back)

MiniReview 3: The Blonde "Bondage Palace"
The Blonde is hired in this story to infiltrate the Bondage Palace and steal the formula for eternal youth. There are many characters in this story and you can get a little twisted around in keeping up. Unlike "Double Cross", there is a young boy that plays a key role within the story, but again..virtually no men anywhere else. There are some funny moments, like the receptionist that gets tied, frees herself and just before reaching the alarm...gets tied up again and starts over. It goes on throughout the book.
One constant in the story is this fear of being sent to the worse prison out there: Phoebus III. Lot's of bondage like the first one. The characters may appear sexy but no actual sex happens. Tickling and feet are prominent in the story. Kind of fun but not as good as the first Blonde story.

If you are a bondage art fan, I highly recommend Saudelli's Blonde stories. But let me warn you that not all the characters are barbie dolls. Saudelli draws women real. Some are skinny, some heavy...some have short hair..some have lush long hair like The Blonde. The bondage is 99% rope based and done in a realistic manner. Beyond the location of the story being somewhat fantasy, the depiction of the bondage and women in the story are pretty real.
I think if you check out the stories, you will see why I like the Blonde. What blonde wouldn't want to be her? Brave, clever, sexy and can dish out the bondage as well as take it. I am trying to find the final collection of the Blonde story, so if anyone knows where online I can get it..pass it along.
