Hello, I am known as K-8 (aka "conscious_object"). Here I keep a fetish blog with a (skewed) sense of humor. Contained herein you will find my various random thoughts on my unique fetishes, and interesting finds culled from all over the intarweb, including art by my friends, and sometimes my own art.

Note: You do not need to have a Livejournal account in order to reply to an entry, as I have "anonymous posting" enabled. Just make sure to sign your name at the bottom, or I'll have no idea which comments are yours.

Guess what I finally got ahold of? That clip from Mr. Wizard's World I'd been wanting to track down.


So funny to see this again now as an adult. Am I the only one that almost started laughing when she says "this feels neat"? I wonder if she ended up developing similar interest when she grew up...? ;-)


And speaking of television moments that involved headlessness and scarred me for life, I just recently discovered a music video that -- like Talking Heads' "Love For Sale" -- I saw at such a young age, and sounded so bizarre when I'd try to put it into words, that I'd questioned if it was all my imagination. But no, the video for "Doing It All For My Baby" by Huey Lewis, it turns out, was all too real.

The video starts with Huey Lewis and the crew on their way to or from another, when one of their tires goes flat. For some reason, getting the spare off involves getting under the van while it's propped up, and Huey does the honors. Only jack falls out, and the van falls on top of him, crushing him to death! The rest of the band are shocked, and try to get him out...but confirm that he's dead. They killed Huey Lewis! And I'm only, like, four when I'm watching this. ;-P

The rest of the band is shocked for a moment, then are like "eh, screw 'em" and go to find any nearby place they can find. What they end up finding is some sort of creepy mansion, and...well, to make a long story short, Huey's is revived by a mad scientist who turns him into a Frankenstein-ian creation, after the rest of the band have already ended up as heads in jars...

Here it is, in case you don't believe me:


But rather than "scarring me for life" in a fun way like the Mr. Wizard clip, this one just left me forever paranoid that the jack might fall out and injure someone anytime I see someone changing a tire... ;-P

(And that concludes today's therapy season, thanks for coming. ;-P)


See the rest of the magic show.

An interesting multi-lingual website someone sent me, at Captured-Taboos.com. The really interesting stuff is in section "4", particularly the "Video Clips" section, which show off some devious Gord-esque ideas for exercise regimens...

It's not entirely my sort of thing, but who'd have thought you could mix an exercise bike with breath-play?

I've come across the occasional illustration of magical transformation into a pool toy by people by Sebastian and such, which is an amusing concept. I'd never thought it was one that could be translated into a real-world bondage variation that involved actually being the float (rather than just laying bound on top of a float), but leave it to Gord to dream up a way (using an inflatable hood and a crab float). A few pics just recently posted to the mailing list:





Something fun for a kinky pool party? ;-)

A friend and I were joking around awhile back and came up with an amusing idea: Gord IKEA.

(Or would that be Gord's House Of Furniture? ForniPHILEA? )

Imagine walking into a warehouse-sized store, with shelves lines with all sorts of Gord-styled
furniture goodies. Scattered about are display models of the furniture... modeled by girls employedfor just that purpose (I'd totally apply for that job!).

Or if you've come to the store with the girl friend you plan to fit into the device, you can go to the fitting area. Here she can make sure she gets the right fit for her catsuit (from a variety of colors and styles to match any decor), and then try out one of the demo models of whatever furniture piece you're looking for. And don't forget the obligatory "Sweet Gwen"-style hood to make the Gord experience complete.

After finding the one you want, you just match the item number and take a brand new box (with the disassembled piece) up to the counter. After ringing you up, the clerk points to the girl at your side and asks "do you want her wrapped to go as well?" You then notice that each check out has a Gord patented "chick wrapper" next to the plastic bags and such -- each purchase comes with an optional complimentary Chick Wrapping. Then just set her in the back next to the box for the trip home.

Or perhaps instead, you'd like to take advantage of the store's expert pre-assembly and delivery service? In this scenario, when you're back at the fitting area with your girl tightly secured to your furniture of choice, you simply mention to the employee helping you that you'd like to have your new purchase delivered (the girl's response being "mmphh-mph mm-mmphh??," and maybe a little bit of wiggling). They'll wheel out a crate built for that particular furniture item, secure your new purchase firmly inside, and carry it out to the delivery truck, where they'll then deliver it right to your doorstep.

Now all you have to do is figure out where you want the new furniture piece to go, and wallah...another happy customer. ;-)

Mr. Wizard's World was a show that ran from 1983-1990 on Nickelodeon, demonstrating all sorts of crazy science-related "tricks," most of which were simple enough for any kid to do right at home.

The news has been going around that he just died a week and a half ago, which suddenly reminded me of this one particular episode I could've sworn seeing, but wasn't sure it was my imagination. Making it a little tougher to confirm, however, is the surprising lack of episodes on either YouTube or BitTorrent. But thankfully there's an official website with information about the DVD collection for the show, that also has select clips from most episodes. I lucked out, and one of those (extremely brief) clips happens to confirm for me that the Talking Head Illusion was not my imagination after all (it's the clip on the left side):

Mr. Wizard: "That is a Talking Head Illusion; and Jackie, before you leave today, your head's gonna be on that platter!"

This clip made me feel all sorts of weird, for reasons I didn't understand (judging from the years the series ran, I would've been 7-years-old or younger). Because it was such a long time ago, I'm having trouble remembering specifically what was going through my head, but I've always been intrigued by magic tricks like this, with disappearing limbs and such. In this case, I think it was trying to imagine the sensation of one's body disappearing via magical (and thus hopefully temporary ;-)) means, and what it would feel like to be stuck for awhile as only a head on a table. There's definitely a bondage-esque aspect to this fascination, in its theme of useful body parts being temporarily unavailable.

And then there's the boy smiling knowingly while the girl wonders how this is going to work, lol. Of course, once Mr. Wizard shows how it's done, it's revealed that the boy's body hasn't disappeared at all (I'd tell you how it works, but I don't want to ruin it for you if you don't want to know ;-)). But even then, you still have this bondage-like scenario of your body being unavailable, hidden away inside this table...add in a way to lock the table, and you're halfway to a Gord scenario:



This is possibly the earliest memory I can cite to having an interest in anything bondage-esque. Thanks Mr. Wizard! ;-)

A British TV show visited the House Of Gord, and you can view a clip of it on YouTube. I would've embedded the clip, but apparently it has been "disabled by request."

Some cute moments, like the host taking advantage of the helpless model's situation to tease her a bit, and some amusing quotes from Gord such as: "I always feel that women are probably the stronger of the genders, and so when a woman just hands over control to you, um, you get this illusory moment that we're actually running the planet." Wish the quality were better, but still an enjoyable clip. ^_^

Some shiny new photos were posted to the House Of Gord Yahoo! Group.

Stuck on a "hamster wheel," with arms bound and an interesting ball-type gag:

Cling-wrapped in Gord's patented "Chick Wrapper," and put away in the silo for safe keeping:

Hog-tied...and secured to the back of a truck for easy mobility:

( View Images... )

I'd so love one of these leather hoods (because they're leather and laced in the back, they effectively double as a gag):




But there's some good news and bad news with the photos. The bad news is that Gord may no longer be posting new sets to the group. The good news, however, is that he no longer needs to, because the main House Of Gord website has been updated, with a new "Guests" section that has *tons* of pics, with new ones regularly added. I've yet to have a chance to go through them all.

Fun stuff. ^_^

The pics are all from a photo set from the House Of Gord Yahoo! Group, and possibly one of my favorite-ist ideas that have come Gord's delightfully warped mind -- foam encasement!



The thing I love about a lot of Gord's work is that it often combines my three core kinky interests -- bondage, objectification, and transformation -- by transforming into objects via bondage. Here the model is encased up to her waist in expanding foam (under Gord's always very strict safety conditions), arms bound behind her back in an arm binder, and then fitted with a posture collar tight leather hood that gags her...turning her into a lovely immobile art piece (capable of very very little movement).



And then wheeled out on a cart (trying to imagine the feeling of having so little movement yet being wheeled about like that fills me with all sorts of tinglies), and put on display in front of the house. I love love love how the shape of the mold (plus the arm binder) ends up making her look like an armless statue bust on a pedestal/stand. Gord decided to use her as a "garden gnome," but an occasional fantasy of mine is of being similarly bound and molded, and set up in an art gallery for awhile as part of a kinky art exhibit. ^_^ (perhaps with a sign placed on front that says "Please Do Not Touch The Art," with the word "Not" crossed out? ;-))

I'd completely forgotten to mention this here in the blog, but remember that Second Life Draconic bondage furniture I'd posted about previously? Well, my SL friend Roen completely surprised me with a Christmas gift...she bought me the chandelier, the end-table, and the floor lamp (which it turns out any user can turn on and off by clicking, hehe). How cool as that? (Thanks again, Roen. ^_^)

And just this last weekend, a good "meatspace" (aka in-person) friend of mine who came to visit similarly surprised me with a gift. I wasn't sure what to expect inside, perhaps a DVD or something? I open it up, and what do I find...?

Bondage cuffs!

These are special for two reasons. Not only did the realization hit me that these are the first ever (non-virtual) kinky gift I've ever receieved...but they also happen to be the first piece of actual bondage equipment/fetishwear/kinky item I've ever owned. Ever. Much much thanks to my friend Mae for that. :-)

...Except, not really (though maybe some of us wish).

House Of Gord has been working on a new film called Kinkanopolis, mixing his delightful brand of heavy bondage with kart racing. I think the original concept was women bound and transformed into remote controlled racers, but the controlling remotely ended up having too many safety complications. So instead, we have women bound into their own kart racer of sorts...and Gord managed to get ahold of a full-size race track for the filming.

If this sounds interesting to you, check out the House Of Gord Yahoo! Group, where Gord has posted a series of preview pics showing how the karts look in action.

During a conversation on the film over at the group, I'd made a random comment about imagining it turned into a Mario Kart-style video game. And then, because I am such a massive dork (and because I can), I decided to created a visual representation:

These aren't super-recent pics...I just haven't gotten to posting them until now.

While wandering about Second Life, I discovered an individual named Draconic has gone and made some virtual bondage-furniture inspired by some of the items over at House Of Gord.

( Mild Virtual Nudity Under The Cut )

Elsewhere I came also across an interesting cage that I could imagine functioning pretty effectively as an end-table:

Meanwhile, back at Draconic's store, she gave me a preview of something she's been working on recently -- a doll display-case:

Available in two colors: a polished wood, and a white extra-girly/dollish one.

I've also finally managed to meet up in-world with Asudem of Doll's Realm, who spends most of her time there modelling bondage equipment for FetishDolls. You can see her in the background of this pic, where another interesting invidual was showing off mannequin display stands she owned, and let me borrow one for a bit:

And one more pic before I go, completely unrelated to the above, but was so bizzare I just had to share -- a whole house built to resemble a hampster cage, complete with exercise wheel and water bottle feeder!:

Apologies for the lack of updates recently...that pesky "real life" getting in the way, wouldn't ya know. ;-P

For those who check my journal via its main page rather than via their Friends page may've noticed I updated the sidebar links not too long ago. I'd meant to write an entry describing each site, and why I linked to it, but got kinda busy...however, now seems like a good time to finally get around to that. :-)

The first set of links are all other places you can find me online. EHY Collaboration is a series of roleplays I did with EHY hosted on his site; the three links below it are likely self-explanitory.

The second set of links are to sites I visit fairly regularly. These are:

House Of Gord - a site featuring all sorts of wonderfully inventive heavy bondage, transforming kinky girls into shiny latex objects. This link goes to the Yahoo! Group where Gord himself corresponds and occasionally posts up new pics, but there's also the official site, which is a pay-site featuring all sorts of videos of wonderfully inventive heavy bondage. I haven't yet been able to afford subscribing myself, but there are two very nice photo gallery tours for free viewing for anyone interested in bondage, latex, or objectification. ^_^

Timeless Beauty - the full name of this site is "Legacy Of Timeless Beauty," but I shortened it to try and keep it on a single line, heh. This is an archive or erotic fiction specializing in transformation + objectification, most commonly transformation into statues, mannequins, and dolls, with new stories appearing every month-and-a-half or so. Though probably only about 30% (or more recently like 10%) of the stories are my sort of thing (statue stories just kinda bore me, and a lot of the mannequin ones start to sound alike once you've read more than a dozen of them), there are lots of great gems hidden in there for people who enjoy transformation into dolls or toys.

Doll's Realm - I mentioned this in an entry awhile back, but here it is again...a very regularly updated blog by a person with an interest in being transformed into a (possibly permanent?) doll. Lots of interesting links and pics related to doll-ish transformations.

Naga's Den - some very nicely done transformation illustrations. Has gotten me thinking again about possibly doing some transformation art myself (to post here on this journal, of course).

Fetish Immobility - recently merged to a degree with the old Living Mannequin forum...it apparently encompasses all sorts of fetishes having to do with transformation and objectification, but the large majority of current posters there seem to be most interested in just time-stop and "pausing" girls in place. The latter of which would be fun to experience if I were fully aware I was frozen like that, but doesn't interest me much as far as viewing images or vids.

Does anybody know of a forum that focuses more on doll/toy transformation/objectification? And/or human furniture? I know there's Fembot Central, which does a lot of android type things...but even that doesn't quite interest me that consistantly it seems, going more for a Stepford Wives thing that doesn't appeal to me greatly. *shrugs*

From a few recent messages on the House Of Gord Yahoo Group, where he relates just what his site is all about:

We are about high tech, beyond the edge, super tight bondage. We are about women who have been enhanced to look even sexier (if that is possible) We are about playing with a lady's own powerful libido and using it against her to produce pleasurable sensations in her form.

We are not about real humiliation or degradation of women, and there is no malice in our play style.

Our women do not give up their personality, they consensually give up their freedom to express it for the duration of a bondage game.

It isn't about mindbending a woman into a subservient chattel, it is more like caging a dangerous tigeress for a fleeting moment of real control. The tigeress is no less dangerous because it is caged, just momentarily controlled. She is still a magnificent beast with a mind of her own.

The stronger she is, mentally/physically, the greater the illusion of finally getting control. I guess my ultimate fantasy image is the bound lady glaring at the bondage master as she tests her bonds. The eye message is,

"DUDE, when I get out of this I'm gonna find the pruning shears and modify your family jewels with extreme predjudice."

Oh course she ends up wet, wrung out, orgasmed out, and in no mood to go looking for the pruning shears whilst in a daze of warm fulfulment.

Gord amuses me. ^_^

When I added the "if all goes well" part at the end of the previous entry, it was because I was actually feeling pretty skeptical about the possibility of the lamp thing working. These floorlamps I have are fairly cheap and flimsy, and I'd been brainstorming ideas for the previous couple weeks on how to make it work.
