I have a bondage buddy who happens to be total sissy queen when it comes to anything involving the ballet and modern dance. Sure, he’s kinky a hell, but he is also very “nelly” if you know what I mean. He even wears scarves and brooches and has a limp wrist and he calls people “darling” and (I swear this is true) he even carries his collection of ropes and gags around town in a Degas bag. For real!
So one day I was over at his place when I noticed a flier for the American Ballet Theater featuring this hunky stud of man-meat adorned with rope:
And when I asked about it, he tells me the guy is none other than Marcelo Gomes, one of the world’s most famous ballet stars (and he is smoking hot, just google him if you don’t believe me!)
Anyway, then last week I was reading The New York Times and I ran across a review for a performance at the Joyce Theater in NYC called “Pilobolus” that was apparently inspired by the escape artistry of the great Harry Houdini in which the performers actually tie each other up with ropes and chains.
And I figured, bingo, I can do a blog posting about this! And yeah, it’s apparent that the ballet and dance is totally about bondage now. Who would have guessed? Fags.
This is the most awesome post ever. I do know about Pilobolous (who are incredible, by the way), but I didn’t know about this particular piece. I will have to look for it!
by the look of those locks…they are “Master Locks Magnum Line”. The Magnum line of lock have a boron carbide shackle, Master Lock claims it to be cut, drill, and ‘twist’ proof. My Local hardware store told me at a hardware conference Master lock was giving away a store display of Magnum locks. The winner must cut the lock with the 48″ bolt cutters provided. No one won:(
