Fetish Muse Kumimonster's Kinky World

The BDSM fetish is so often artsy, it's hard to know if it's a way to make some often harsh imagery and activity seem palatable to the ordinary eye.l

Or maybe it's just that BDSM alternative lifestyle people tend to be artists more often than not, in ways not always recognized by the norm.

In the case of Korean-Celtic artist and latex fetish (among others) model "Kumimonster", it's hard not to detect the hand of an artist in everything she does.

Her site FetishMuse.com is of the personal sort with much writing, journals of her travels illustrated with images, and a lot of great, freaky, sometimes creepy, fetish and kinky photography and videos - always featuring the thin, sensual presence of Kumimonster herself.

Among the incredibly well photographed sets and featured kinks are BDSM, japanese rope bondage themes, gimp, submission, stockings, classic glam, a love of corsets, a lust for latex and too many to list all here.

Elegantly bald, Kumimonster can keep her look always fresh and always different, yet, somehow, as happens only with artists, you can see the real Kumimonster throughout - she's always recognizable.

Mark her up as one of those few, singular fetish queens and check out her updates weekly. You won't regret, and we so far haven't either.

All Tied Up Over Tokyo Whores

Bondage and BDSM are one thing, and you might be familiar with the images come across on the web (on purposes or not) of bound and gagged women and men submitting to dominatrixes...

But Japanese bondage is diffferent...

Shibari, or more technically correct, Kinbaku is the form of Japanese restraint based on natural, thick rope and odd, broken-doll style positions such as the knees-together, feet-apart position you'll note in our Japanese Bondage gallery, for example.

The use of jute, a kind of thick hemp-like rope, dates from the time traditionally when Japanese criminals were punished using rope torture. Sometime in the 1960's, shibari actually became a performance art, involving members of the audience (mostly the ladies).

Now you can view this oddly esthetic sexual torture at sites like Tokyo Whores, surely one of the definitive sites on the fetish.
