It is with sadness that I learned recently that Tony Rodrigue has passed away.
Tony, pictured at right with his late partner, Dick, ran the web site BDGsales.com. They were both members of Delta.
“They specialized in electrical stimulation gear and supplies,” wrote Jim, a member of Delta, in an email. “Walking into the booth at events like IML and MAL was like walking into a kinky Radio Shack. They carried all of the hard-to-find wires and connections for your favorite play things. They also were known for their bondage furniture.”
Profiles of Dick and Tony are available here.
OH MY GODDESS! I didn’t know Tony passed away! He and I were good friends, we were talking a few weeks ago about me coming to visit him for some company in November :(
I wondered why he had not been answering the phone lately… :(
The BDG Website of Tony and Dick was where I first learned of humane restraints, including the mitts and muff, all with their thick inner “ortho cream” padding.
I was new and they answered my awkward and curious emails with such normalcy that ingrained a new found confidence in me.
I love you Tony.
I’m so very sad to hear this, I was recently trying to locate bdg sales as I purchased their Munchen Bondage Table 8 years ago and wanted to inquiry about additional pieces, its still one of My most treasured pieces and Im so thankful for the creativity of which it was designed ~Victoria Hunter
