I've been commissioned yet again to use my imagination and slight suggestion to gag myself with the toes of high heals as i wear a sexy cowl neck sweater. This time, my friend sent me 2 shoes to use, 1 with a strap through the toe to hold it in my mouth nicely for 1 of the gags, then i use that same show to use wire to wrap around my head in a very strict and tight wire gag. The other shoe was sent to me with the toe bent over on it self and taped nicely so my mouth gets even more filled with the toe. I use blue stretchy like tubing and wow..the more i wrap around my head, the tighter it gets. I actually begin to panic. that doesn't happen often but of course i take time to take a selfy of this and every shoe gag i do in this series before removing the gag from my mouth. The last and even more challenging gag i do on myself is with electrical tape. I ensure my lips are covered with the tape as i wrap the tape around my head many many times. This gag isn't going anywhere. I attempt to gag talk through each shoe gag but damn, these 4 gags were extreme and seriously tight. That's what you get when you leave it up to me to gag myself. Tight, effective and thorough gags!!

What better video than this one on my birthday. I sure do love cream pie but i love it even more when I can share them with a sexy woman! We sure got our fill!
Amanda has been caught snooping around my bakery trying to find the secret ingredient as to why my bakery has the best cream pies in the world. No one will ever get that secret recipe and those that try definitely pay for it. I have her tied to a chair as she has no choice but to listen to my words, my laugh, and feel the wrath. She is topless wearing only a thong with her hair perfect, her makeup perfect and as clean as a whistle. Not for long! I have plan to take her need for the secret away completely. I walk in in my business jacket on and smoking a cigarette with a long extended holder as i discuss her situation with her. I take my suit jacket off and grab a pie as she begs me not to mess up her hair and makeup. Of course i do not listen and i XXXX the best pies in the world and their secret recipe right into her face as she moans in disgust. I repeat this form of torture pie after pie after pie after pie in her face. I wipe her eyes sometimes asking her to open her eyes to see I have yet another pie to throw at her head. I smoke another fag with an extender blowing the smoke at her extremely messy body. I lick her tits and her cheeks and kiss her sweet lips. I rub the pie remnants into her thong covered pussy and caress her sticky tits alot. I lick her nipples clean a few times as well. But of course I keep XXXX pie into her face with my silk glove clad hands asking her if she is done snooping around my bakery. She really is bothered with the pie in her hair, on her face, and even in her hands as her manicure will be all messed up now. Wow, she sure is a prissy lil woman but these pies sure have taught her a lesson. I dont think i will see her again after this XXXX of the recipe in her face.

I'm finally done with my college classes for the day as i walk back to my car. I hop in with a sigh of relief that the day if over and a yawn of tiredness. I sit back when a pair of large hands come from behind me and grab me and put me out like a switch of a light. I try to fight but XXXX takes me over. I then find myself waking up in the back of the car in the back seat with my wrists bound and ankles bound as he finishes off the hogtie. I protest and scream and struggle with all my might as my glasses stay on the entire time. He then shoves something in my mouth then wraps duct-tape around my head to ensure no one hears my pleads for help. I struggle and i fight the ropes on me, wiggling around the back seat like no other. Soon the door is closed as i try to get my head out of the window losing my spectacles on the ground below as the tape gag keeps me from yelling louder than a mpphh. He then shoves me in the trunk, drives me to his lair and opens the trunk to watch me struggle like a mad woman for several minutes. I use every space of the trunk to struggle and move but as soon as i almost figure a way out, I am then lifted over his shoulders to inside where he plops me on the floor to only sit back and watch me struggle even more. Wow, I'm not sure if Ill ever get to my homework. *This video was filmed many years ago when i had short blonde hair, so if you miss those days of skinnier, shorter hair me struggling in bondage, id buy this video. Previously posted on Steve Villa's sites, but no longer is and only available on my sites.

I was about to settle down with a cup of tea in my red lingerie and my stunning closed-toe high heals and relax but instead I am now taped in a very very tight hogtie using only black electrical tape.It is so tight and my elbows are practically touching and the tape is digging further and further into my limbs the more I struggle but that doesn't stop me from trying to see what options I have in this bondage.The few pieces of black duct-tape is stuck over my mouth making it near impossible for the neighbors to hear me if I even do try to scream. I'm roll over on my side and back trying to find a weak spot in this tape but it is not weak but so tight that every second feels like eternity.My arms are numb and I get to the point of no being able to struggle much at all. That doesn't happen often but when it does, its better than a cup of tea.I am out of energy to struggle and fight the binds as I simply struggle myself to a very tight hogtied XXXX.My kind of XXXX indeed.

Once Specific Kink let me struggle in my self cuffs and shackles hogtie and huge ball-gag and posture collar, he steps in with the rope to fix my mobility. He ties my elbows first then my wrists and removes the handcuffs. He then sits me up and removes my posture collar and huge white ballgag and i discuss how that felt as he starts the rope work on my legs but then diligently places a sensory deprivation hood on me. I so much love hearing and feeling the laces being tightened up knowing I am completely at his mercy unable to hear anything, see anything or anticipate what will come next. Once the hood is hindering my senses, he then gets me to the floor to finish what his intentions with the rope. He ties my one leg to the side but in a frogtie pulling the other leg up as well. Making it a hogtie of sorts. All I can move slightly is my head and my hips but this is about to be fixed as he ensures my leg cant move and he ties my head up and back making me 99% immobile. I try to test the restraints and move, but as you see, he has managed to keep the Fayth more still than many others have. Good job...Wow! I am loving every second of this tie, especially since I'm hooded and helpless beyond belief! Just the way I like it! Thank You Specific Kink for this, i sure wish we could do this more often! *There is noise from the a/c in the background but it is turned off 1/2 through. It gets super hot in Florida without it!

I'm hanging out with Specific Kink as its been years since the last time he slung rope on me. I'm dressed in ballet boots and black pantyhose. He has everything ready as i think he is binding me but he has me gag myself with this huge white ballgag then buckle a thick posture collar on myself. Then he has me grab handcuffs and metal ankle cuffs to bind my own wrists behind my back and then bind my ankles to my wrists. You can see on my gagged face that I am trying very hard to obey and listen to his orders but I have a very hard time making it work so Specific Kink helps secure me into this hogtie with cuffs. I struggle on my belly, roll over and arch up using the heals of the ballet heals and she show how much movement I have in this semi simple metal bondage. Well, this was only the beginning and a teaser as he steps in to do something about all the movement i have. He grabs the rope and transitions to something a bit harder..stay tuned for part 2 as my struggling decreases greatly! *This was filmed in Florida in the summer and the air-conditioning is running in the background. My talking with and without the ball in my mouth can still be heard over the a/c noise. You would have the a/c running too if you lived in Florida;)

I am in a quiet mood but I am in the mood to play with balloons. I have several 12" balloons and plan on using and abusing them just the way they were intended. I blow each loon up and I decide in a whim how it will pop. There is no rhyme or reason or discussion, simply blowing up, tying off and popping each as I see fit. I enjoy times like this as by the end of the balloon play session, I am much happier and in a bit more of a talking mood. But of course who wouldn't be in a better mood watching a woman in a sexy short skirt and high heals pop balloons mercilessly?

Vivienne and I are at Mr. Ogres device and this is not really a great thing when it comes to our comfort and enjoyment. Our wrists are bound behind our backs as all we are wearing is a white tanktop / wife-beater shirt and itty bitty panties revealing our legs in their entirety along with our ass cheeks. He shoves a ballgag in my mouth immediately then XXXX a ballgag into Vivienne's mouth, altho she tries to keep it from happening, Ogre isn't having any of that. Once we are ballgagged he quickly realizes that that wont keep us quiet at all so he comes back and wraps red duct tape around both our heads. That slightly does the trick so he can concentrate on what his devious mind has in store. He ties my ankle to 1 of the ropes hanging in the middle that is connected to Vivienne's crotch rope. He then does the same with her foot as he pulls it up high connecting it to my crotchrope. This leaves us both with 1 foot on the ground but we have high heels on and the heal is digging further and further into the ground, making us shorter in-turn making this predicament worse by the minute along with our legs are heavy, or at least i know mine is and i try so hard to keep the tension off of the rope so her crotch isn't split in half due to my leg. The leg on the ground is shaking so bad but i cant stop trying to keep the rope loose but its useless as I am in distress and as I see and hear Vivienne, she also is feeling the pain of this crazy crotch-rope predicament. Neither of us know how much longer we can take this torture but we are in no control of this matter. What would you do? Help or torture us more?

Now to see what the next 3 extreme layered gags hold. There's no pre-talking in this one, i just get down to business to the gagging and gag talking of course. Gag #1 (3rd of total): I cleave gag myself with co-flex / vet-wrap I then wrap black electrical tape as a cleave gag over that. I do my best to gag talk but as you can see, my face gets purple and my jaw is hurting. I dont stop with the layers altho i do get a tad quieter do to the fact of simply enduring this one is hard enough..But i do try to gag talk as much as I can. I then wrap microfoam tape overtop of the 2 layers as an over the mouth gag and gag talk a bit but i must get this one off in a hurry as the color of my face and the feeling of it simply isnt safe to keep on at all longer. As you an see from my reaction of when it comes off, I am kinda happier with this gag on, than off..but damn, what a challenge that was. Whats great is, i have 2 more gags to do;) Next up:n I shove my mouth full of a sock, after i put my swim-cap back on to protect my hair. I then wrap clear packing tape over the sock but between my teeth as as cleave gag to secure it in my crevice. I then use grey electrical bundling tape to cleave gag on top of that, then black electrical tape on top. To top it all off, I cover my stuffed mouth 3 cleave gags with microfoam tape to keep it all put. I gag talk all I can and but as you see my head is changing color again and i drool uncontrollably before the OTM gag goes on. WOW..that was a crazy gag. One more to go, lucky me! The final gag of this series includes a pair of pantyhose stuffed in my mouth, cleave with pantyhose, then encasing of my head with another leg of a pantyhose. More black electrical tape as a OTM gag and grey electrical tape to cover that and to top it all off, micro-foam tape wrapped tightly around my head covering all the layers beneath. Once i remove this gag after gag talking more, i keep on smiling and I even look forward to being gagged properly and thoroughly sometime very soon!

I am, I mean this masked undercover woman, has a very pretty balloon with sexy and seductive print on it of a lady riding a balloon and well, what better way to play with this loon than to be masked and unrecognizable....tehe.
Laying casually on the bed, blowing and blowing, looking at you, changing positions and constantly blowing this large balloon up and keeping an eye on you the entire time, smiling and blowing and adjusting my skirt that sometimes reveals the fact that there are no panties covering the sweet spot. I ponder blow to popping this balloon but why not copy what the girl on the balloon is doing and sit on this blown up, tied off, stretchy balloon. I adjust my long hippyskirt so you can see the neck stretch in and out in and out bigger than i expected. I bounce with all my might testing the loons strength but as usual, it too cant take the wrath of masked Fayth as the neck where the tied off knot is, goes flying across the room, quickly making me land on the bed and onto the deflated popped balloon. I am amazed how it popped. This was a first but darn it, i sure did have fun riding this big sucker of a balloon until it popped!!

Raina & I love being anonymous in our kitty suits every year at FetishCon, now that we have a chance to have a day together outside of the convention, one of our first ideas was to dress in Zentai suits and have some fun. I actually try very hard not to talk as I add 1 piece of hemp rope to her body at a time. Its raining and is very loud above our heads which adds to the senses of this experience. I feel like either of us could scream and we would not be heard. So what do I do, I make her scream in her ropes while I tickle her. Bind her chest, ankles, knees, wrists all while she is wearing a gas mask for her very first time. I can tell she is enjoying this quiet time as she giggles with the bound tickles under her gas mask. I tickle her feet, I tickle her ribs and armpits. I am smiling so big under my red hood. I hogtie her after i give her some reprieve from her mask. Once I hogtie her, she struggles from more of my tickle torture on her. We watch as the white Zentai Raina struggles. I think I could watch this all day long and I think I will;)

Im trying to avoid working on the roof so what better way to stall the inevitable than to push record and blow up a balloon until it pops.
There are other workers present and they don't mind me or even realize I'm filming so never mind the construction noise. No balloon action is missed to say the least. I hung up 2 hammock chairs from the trusses. Much better than sitting on a cooler or the cement floor and well, i do have a hammock collection fetish, so anyways..2 of my loves in 1 video makes me happy! I blow and I blow and I blow some more. I just cant think of a better way to avoid working than to blow up this Nordic Balloon. Of course once the next starts forming, i don't stop but i keep the grip and blow this sucker up until it cant take anymore Faythful wrath. Its still surprises me and makes me scream and of course now i'm smiling ear to ear and am super ready to get to work now.. I love how popping balloons put me in a great mood! I hope watching me pop these suckers does the same for you!

President Richard Nixon has me right where he wants me but he isn’t sure about the camera but he doesn’t miss a thing of whats going on behind him. I am bound in a unique frogtie but also hogtie. My hands are secured inside leather mitts not allowing me to get to the knots but all I am able to do is struggle. When I struggle, I mean I am everywhere on the couch, on the floor, and everywhere in between. I get ballgagged then a stretchy long cloth is stretched over the ballgag to hold it into place even better, ensuring all you hear is umpph and grunts in my pursuit of struggling. I come across a cordless massager and I know exactly what I want to do with that. Now i just need to figure out how too. Once its on the floor, I use my black painted toenails and bare feet to try and put the Hitachi where I need it but with no hands and in this bind, it is almost impossible. I try so hard to get it beneath me but it just wont stay on my sweet spot, instead it seems to have a mind of its own and vibrates away from me as if it has another mission. Wow, in-turn I test my binds in every way imaginable but I guess I am stuck here until the president feels I am no longer a threat to national security or he wishes to have some fun with me in his oval office;) Thanks Tony Korleone for helping create this video with me!

I have been asked to gag myself with a vast variety of items. This part 1 includes me talking all about what I will be doing and how I plan on going about it and nomatter what, my intentions are to gag talk through out. I begin by encasing my head with shear pantyhose, stuffing a huge sponge in my mouth (this takes a moment as this is a huge sponge and the nylon over my mouth is holding my mouth hole closed a bit but figure it out. I then cleave gag myself with black electrical tape keeping the sponge inside my mouth then i keep wrapping the tape around the cleave to cover my lips. I then wrap micro-foam tape around the top of that to cover all the layers as I gag talk all along or as much as i can as this gag was a very difficult gag to ensure. I actually have to remove this gag a bit faster than i wanted too, but i know my limits and this was painful. But not too painful to try gag # 2. I stuff a pair of panties in my mouth after I put a swimcap over much of my hair. I then wrap clear packing tape over the stuffed mouth gag. I then wrap grey electrical tape over the clear and gag talk quite a bit. I actually am enjoying this gag as you can see by my eyes, i'm actually smiling believe it or not. I then remove it reiterating what i said while i was gagged..Stay tuned for the next 3 gags in part 2.

After putting up a huge fight, the men finally were able to restrain me and drag me into this room to chair tie me. You (the camera) just stares at me, looking at me in my vulnerable state. I am not gagged (yet) so I talk to you cruelly. You look at my panties and I demand you don't but I really cant do anything about it. I cant believe you still think you can break me. I'm still cocky but bound. Soon the men come in and one shoves a huge metal ring gag into my mouth and the other squeezes honey into my mouth. he then uses his finger to rub it around gagging me as well creating drool to instantly form. They step back and just watch as i writhe in the chair bondage fighting to not drool but it is no use, the honey makes it impossible not too as well as the harsh huge ring-gag doesn't allow me to swallow. I am miserable and cant stand drool and I beg and I plead with my eyes that I am broke. Please ungag me, please untie me. You win. I'm a loser, I'm nothing, I'm broke..Please just let me go. He comes in and removes the ring gag giving me light at the end of this horrible tunnel as I think they are going to release me but no that is not the case. Instead, pantyhose are pulled over my head and a big red ballgag is shoved into my mouth. I plead and I beg but it is no use. I struggle and moan and groan but then the other tough-ass guy comes in and XXXX me to orgasm as he shoves the Hitachi vibrator into my pantyhose clad crotch and he doesn't move it but only pushes it harder and harder into my clit making me scream and cum and break. I break right in front of you as he has no mercy on my vagina as he is in control of the vibrator. I am broken as I have no energy left to fight any longer as you just leave me in the chair still bound, gagged, and so pitiful looking.

Now that I just escaped the handcuff & shackle bondage, now its time I find the door that leads to my escape. My stilletos make too much noise and the 2 men hear me and come to ensure I do not go anywhere but instead remain. They both come at me but I am very cocky and ready to fight them off. They have rope and they are convinced they are going to get it wrapped around my wrists, ankles and knees. Little do they realize that I will fight and fight and fight to keep the rope off of me and I will do anything in my power to keep them from restraining me. I dont think they realized how strong I am and how much of a fight I would put up. I giggle and laugh at them at each of their failed attempts reassuring them that I am strong and I wont go without a fight, a hard hard fight. I seriously need my head sat on just for him to get my wrists bound. It was the only way. I dont make any of this easy for them. I do think they are sweating more than I am at the end altho they are not done with me as they drag and carry my finally found body off into the room they think they will break me. Stay tuned for the final part of this trilogy of the attempt to Break their Fayth

Its been a while since Arielle has been around and she sure missed having fun with me. We pinky swear she wont take anymore extended breaks again. Now to get to business or well, fun. I have a long long orange balloon attached to a 1-way valve and i hand it to her and have her blow. I know this sucker will take a while and this is why I'm hanging out with her so i can give her a break anytime she needs. she blows as we remark on the valve and the noises its making and how she thinks its leaking but its not. I then take over and realize once again how this particular one way valve hurts below the nose as you are blowing. I think last time i use this, i had the same issue, darn it. So we continue blowing this loon up with our lips and no valve. Then we get inventive and Iit and even XXXX my barefoot into the end of the balloon while Arielle blows. She also does the same as i blow this huge balloon. I then think I can continue blowing it up as she lays and sits on it. Wow, this balloon is fantastic! I can inflate it while she has fun on top of it. I don't stop either. I try to share the joy of blowing but watching her on top of it bouncing and smiling is awesome! I then decide to join her as i keep on blowing. Once i think there's enough air in it, i tie it off so we can have some 2 girl fun on top of it. This balloon is so darn durable, its amazing! I'm super happy I have others like this in my stash! When we realize that sitting, jumping, humping, playing on top of this balloon wont pop it, we both take our sharp long fingernails and pop this sucker between us too, leaving us with yet another surprise that makes us laugh and smile. What a great balloon experience to welcome Arielle back!!!

The door opens and I am XXXX inside. I have a rope tightly tied around my neck, handcuffs around my wrists behind my back, a chain connected from my handcuffs to the shackles locked onto my ankles. I am ball-gagged as well. Altho I am bound and gagged, this does not stop me from fighting with all my might. I pull and I pull against the neck rope and I even spit out the ballgag and I start verbally abusing the 2 men that are attempting to physically control me. I am not having any of that. I fight them, I kick, I pull, I go to the ground and I swear at them. I am a tough-ass and I am not going anywhere easily. My highheals stay on my feet as my dress goes further up showing my lacy pink panties beneath. My belt accessory keeps the dress at waist level. I give it my best shot and my hardest fight but I am XXXX to this rack as I am held standing by the neck rope as the men work on chaining me to the rack keeping me put. Once they finally figure the chain and lock out and lock me to it and my verbally degradation of them, they leave me be. I then stare into the camera. I ask you if you realize who I am. I can escape anything and I cant believe you think otherwise. I laugh maniacally as your naive. Let me prove to you how tough and smart I really am, as I pull a key from my pantyhose and unlock myself from the cuffs and shackles knowing that i need to escape this place as soon as possible. Stay tuned for a failed escape attempt and a major fight to get me bound and break by orgasm too.

I am having fun at BoundCon Austria at the league of Amazing Woman (LAW) booth as I have been a villain or superhero all weekend, but it looks like all my bad deeds have caught up with me.I am hogtied in front of the booth and it is my mission to get help.Someone had to have seen one of the good deeds I have done this weekend.I swear I did atleast 1.I do the hogtie roll across the convention floor asking for help but im realizing that the big ballgag in my mouth connected to a great snug headedness is hindering my English language and well, no one speaks English that I'm asking.Oh my..I spot some great shoes and I gag talk to tell you all Im thinking and well, how doomed I soon feel since seriously no one understands what I'm asking since English gag talk is a language of its own. Hmmm Will SpiderGirl Fayth be stuck here for ever or will someone save her before she gets stepped on.

Its about time Amanda has some balloon fun with me. I have worked with her on many previous occasions but never have i introduced her to my wonderful world of popping balloons. I have a pile of balloons and I ask her questions about her experience and her feelings and i really didn't expect her actions to supersede her words but wow, is this girl afraid of balloons. Her reaction makes this so much more fun for me and i cant help but laugh and smile. I show her how to bite2pop a balloon, blow2pop, altho she was unable and i had to assist. We squeeze some loons between our thighs as i show her how the necks love stretching but she is so hesitant, its funny! Even when i pop the balloons in my my own little style, Amanda screams like no other. I then blow up a big balloon and also help her with a long green one so she can sit to pop it. She didn't anticipate it being so durable so her elongated fear of it popping is amazing. She does pop it with her nails but she still goes flying onto the ground in shock then laughing. Wow. whats even better is that is is willing to come back for more balloon fun with me. Care for a custom with Amanda to see her react this way again? I know i cant wait;)

I really messed up and made a complete mess out of this house and the homeowner came to check out my work and didn't like my idea of demolishing it all instead of fixing the wall so he grabbed me in my overalls and taped me up but he wasn't done with me. He XXXX me to put a white slutty dress on and black pantyhose and red high heals and he taped me to the workbench stool ladder XXXX me on my back and legs bent down. So after I think he walks away, I hear one the the neighbors walk in and start talking to the homeowner. He seemingly didn't want to get caught with me tied up in the back bedroom so i'm guessing he leads him outside to talk as I struggle in the tape and gag that keeps me quieter than one would think. I squirm and wiggle and realize I can escape from the tape as the piece around my chest rips and I take full advantage of him not watching and I struggle to escape from my binds. Once I have my taped up high-heals unbound, I cant find a way to get the gag off so I go over the mirror (the camera) and try to find a way to untape my mouth without ripping out my hair but i see him coming back as I get frantic and cower in the corner as he walks in, knowing Im in even more trouble now! Stay tuned..Lots of adventures in this house are too come!

I'm hanging out on the farm and I want to try something different. I have a large 24" clear balloon and a 12" tye-dye balloon. I decide to blow the smaller one up while its inside the bigger one. I make it clear i dont know what to expect but i do know they both will end up popped. I do tie off the smaller one then blow up the bigger balloon creating a double balloon if you will. I casually talk to you and blow and blow and I blow. I must lean against the wall, i must sit. Blowing this big balloon up would make anyone dizzy. I do ponder on blow to popping it but i realize its just not going to happen for a long while and I get anxious to pop them. So i come up with a genius idea and tie off the big balloon while the small one floats around the inside of it. I play a bit with it as my smile is genuine and big. I decide to sit on it to pop this big sucker. Little did i expect to land flat on my butt when it pops but I giggle and reach for the smaller one that is about to float away and the ground pops it unexpectedly. Wow. that was a first and I'm happy happy happy about the end results. I wonder if i should try to double blow again in the new future?

I am bound in a hogtie position but with rope uniquely tied on to keep me in this position. My hair is tied, pulling my head up and back, my leopard print high heal metal spike boots are pulled tightly as my arms are bound between my legs. My skin toned tights show every curve of my round thick bubble butt and wearing only a bra leaves little to the imagination as well. My mouth is stuffed fully with several strips of medical clear sticky tape keeps my stuffing in my mouth only allowing me to mpphh and struggle quieter than i would without. I struggle and move in every position I can but im not going far to say the least. I work up a sweat in all this struggling like I do best.

I have had this gift for some time and its time I get it out of the box, figure out how to inflate it with the inflator i have and have some fun. This wobble is so gummy and soft and gooy feeling. I wonder how big it will get. I use my electric inflater but it it doesn't seem to blow it up as fast as I would like. I guess patience is key but darn it, its hard when i just want to play. Once I think there is enough air in it, i take it to the mat and lay on it and roll all over it. I think it needs more air, so back to the blower-upper i go. I patiently wait for it to fill up even more. I then go back to playing with it. I cant believe how durable this balloon like inflatable is. I roll on it, I sit on it, and i just smile and laugh at myself playing with this huge loon like blow up fun toy. But of course, once again, it cant take all the wrath of Fayth and it bursts beneath me unexpectedly.
