Introducing Aralia to the Wrestling Scene

I'm so excited to introduce our new wrestler Aralia, who had her very first video shoot with us last night.  It was a toughy, but she's a trooper.

Aralia is not a professional model, nor is she a professional session wrestler.  Rather, she is a sweet and unassuming girl from the neighborhood who happened to join us for wrestling practices last summer.  She had no prior training, but she loves wrestling.  She's been practicing with us regularly, and she just recently decided to try out some video matches and scenes.

She's really scrappy and loves rough play, so we paired her with Howl for a bondage wrestling match for her very first video.  Not the most fair pairing for the newcomer (indeed, some stacked odds), but she fought hard, tried her absolute best, and loved it.

She also did a last-minute Python & Prey scene with Howl.  Since she is inexperienced, she portrayed the Prey, which is a divergence from our usual female-dominant Python & Prey series.  However, Howl did a great job as the predator.  This one was a fantasy scene, despite the hard struggling and physicality.

We hope to get Aralia some more competitive opportunities to come, but I also think she has great potential for other styles too.  To put a face to the name, here is the opening interview with Howl & Aralia from their bondage wrestling match.  Aralia's very first on-camera appearance for us:


She's so great, fun, and sweet, we look forward to working with her more!

Mistress Kara and Howl mixed wrestling?

Hey friends and fans,

I'm pleased to say that we have Mistress Kara coming to visit us for some filming next week here in New York City!  We have several videos scheduled for Kara, but I'm curious to hear people's opinions & preferences on a certain idea we have.

We definitely want to have Kara and Howl together, but VeVe and I have been pondering the exact style.  Here's what we thought (and we can only choose one)...

1. A "Python and Prey" style video, similar to VeVe's with Howl/Tae.  Slow, sensual style domination wrestling, she stalks him and snares him, choking and squeezing from behind, hand-over-mouth, whispering in his ear.

Here's an example from VeVe's Python & Prey with Howl:

(this one would feature a segment with Kara and Howl and then with Kara and Hanz)

I think Mistress Kara would really excel in this style.

or

2. A competitive match that would feature trash-talk and domination for whoever is winning.  For example, if someone is caught in a submission hold, he/she would need "beg" his/her way out, kiss feet to be released, or somehow convince the dominant person to let him/her go  (such as...?)

This one would certainly be more rough, but it's also possible the holds achieved would be unpredictable.  It would also be much faster-moving.

We can only choose 1 of these two options, and we'll go whichever way interests people most.  Or if you have a totally different vision for Kara and Howl together, please let us know as well.

You can post here or send an e-mail:   orders@doommaidens.com

Thanks everyone!  Pictures of Kara and Howl are below!  Kara is about 150 lbs and Howl is 140 lbs.

Howl Returns, Training Returns... A Live Event Returns?

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here in the Adventures in Wrestling Media Production blog.  And that's largely because I've been focusing mostly on the Bondage Wrestling Blog, I must admit.  Plus other discussion has been buzzing around over on Twitter (@DoomMaidens) instead of here.  But here's a chance for a post here!

So, what's new?

First off, we give a warm welcome to 2015 and great things to come in the new year!  Our local wrestlers are doing well, some of our men have returned home from abroad, and plans are in the works for gatherings, events, and more video action.

Light-weight guys Howl and Twiggy have returned home, after travelling far-and-wide for several months.  Howl returned two weeks ago, and Twiggy just two days ago!

Howl's Welcome-Back Filming

Howl received a welcomed back with an intense 2-video shoot, featuring a 30-minute men's pro-style-inspired pantyhose match where he got to display his incredible spinal flexibility and then a mixed catball fight with VeVe which had some pretty hard rolling.

The mixed catball, called "Angry Dancers! Mixed Catball in Tights" featured Howl and VeVe as battling ballet dancers and ended up with Howl getting bound up with many pairs of pantyhose in the finale.  I expected the pantyhose-bondage finish to be a quick conclusion for this video, but VeVe took it a step further.  She took a full 10 minutes to tie Howl up and really harassed him as she did it.  Then she covered his head with pantyhose and unexpectedly stuffed a ballet shoe into his face.  She's so darn spontaneous!

Training Returns

In other news, we've revived our wrestler training meet-ups to give our ladies and gentlemen more chances to refine their skills.  We just started up again last week, and we look forward to a good-sized gathering for this coming week.

Over recent years, we've had small training gatherings in our small studio to help wrestlers with their rope-work skills.  However, the small studio has only a 10' x 10' mat space, which forces the gatherings to keep to a rather small size.  Now however, for 2015, we have moved training to the large studio, which not only accommodates our 10' x 20' mat space, but also has much more room on the periphery.

Event Space

In addition to being a nice practice spot, our large studio is also a party space.  And that means that there may be an event in the pipeline for this coming year.

The studio is in a fairly accessible area of Brooklyn, directly reachable by at least 4 subway lines and several buses.  There's a reasonable chance for street parking too (and no parking meters).

So, if you enjoy live events and parties, stay tuned on this front.  I will admit that events and parties are often low on our priorities list, taking a firm backseat to shoot-scheduling, but they can be fun to make happen.

And lastly for this post...

VeVe's Custom Script Contest

VeVe has yet to actually blog about this herself (by the way, here's her blog), but she talks to me about it and would surely post about it if she had more time.  It's her "Custom Script Contest" idea.  

In a nutshell, this would be a chance for fans to submit script ideas for her to review.  She would select the submissions she found most do-able/appealing, would request a full script (if the submitter wishes to write one), and would produce a "custom" video from it.  She has a number of ideas regarding the logistics on this.  In fact, I just asked her about it right now, and she provided so many ideas in response, that I think it is just best that she address it all herself!

But anyway, be aware, she is thinking in these terms as a fun little way to try out new ideas and provide a large discount on the cost of a custom.  Keep you eyes on her for further developments on that.

And with that, I'll sign off on this entry.  The cafe I'm in now is getting a bit crowded, and we're moving from morning into afternoon at this point.  Until next time!  

Summer's End: Mixed, Jade, Rachel, Sircee, VeVe

Well, it's only been a relatively short time since our return from the August FetCon road trip, but there's been a surprisingly huge amount of work going on!  I mean, really, I can't believe the amount of filming that's taken place in this past few weeks.  Basically, one thing leads to another, and once that ball gets rolling, it just picks up speed...

Here's a little run-down:

The Great Outdoors

In late August, VeVe, Hanz, and I took the camera outside again for more outdoor filming adventures.  We hit a wooded area to film both a special custom video and an "experimental" (for us) mixed wrestling themed scenario video which came to be called "Wilderness Mugging Gone Wrong!"

In the "Mugging" video, Hanz played the role of a mugger who stalked hiker VeVe on the trail, only to find himself in tremendous trouble once he finally attacked her.  I was really pleased with the aesthetics on this one - the various shades of green and sunlight through the trees just looked so appealing.  Plus VeVe wore a red shirt, which really made her stand out amongst the surrounding greenery.  Here's the cover image from that video, so you can see the colors in effect:

I'd love to be able to do more outdoor themed filming, and I'm definitely sure that VeVe and Hanz would like to as well.  In fact, I think that VeVe and Hanz are the most available for outdoor filming.

Actually, now that I think of it, this video was inspired by a stage combat workshop that VeVe and I had attended in late August.  I wish I could have gotten Hanz there as well, but it was just too short of notice.  In any case, I got to refresh my stage weapons handling knowledge, and VeVe got to give it a first try.  We mostly ended up getting into "unarmed" classes, which is ironic considering that's what we actually have the most work-experience doing.  Oh well!  But we got to do some classes in knife, small sword, and broad sword, too.

I once held SAFD recognized stage combat proficiencies in Rapier & Dagger and Quarterstaff, but that was many moons ago, and that workshop was my first stage weapons refresher in about a decade.

Anyway, VeVe and Hanz are both very excited to try weapons-type battles - sword duels, high fantasy settings - so we'll have to let them give that a try.  ... at some point... before the idea gets buried by this incoming mountain of To-Do!

But moving on, because, holy cow, there's actually been a LOT between then and now...

Filming with Jade Indica and Rachel DD

Also in August, we moved quickly into 2 other shoots, one featuring Jade Indica, and the other featuring Rachel DD.

VeVe and Jade filmed several videos together, including a slinky-yet-angry "showgirls" catball fight, featuring black pantyhose and lacy bras.  They also filmed a new little superheroine "cosplay" battle, which VeVe had been pushing for for some time.  VeVe was a big instigator on this video, which featured both ladies treading upon the mats with their high heel boots - VeVe in stilettos, in fact!

VeVe's cosplay pro-style battle with Jade also gave us our first chance at having a wrestler gagged while she's fighting and getting put in holds (VeVe tape gagged) and a chance to try some post-production special effects.  Both of these factors related to VeVe's character's super powers, which involved a powerfully disorienting banshee scream.

Needless to say, VeVe was super excited to try this one!

And only a few days later, we filmed with Rachel DD, which involved her revisiting her SuperGirl Rachel role, as well as even more catball fighting - this time with Rachel as a wealthy housewife and VeVe as a sexy burglar - and then some competitive bondage wrestling.

Since Rachel had to miss out on the big 6-Way Bikini Bondage Wrestling tourney from July, she instead got to face off against VeVe alone!  The end result was a wonderfully tight and tidy hogtie for Rachel, complete with cleave gag!

More Men and Mixed Action

Then as September started rolling around, we got into a big mixed wrestling kick.

Initially, a few fans had requested a male vs male bondage wrestling match take place, and we were certainly willing to give that a try.  Following their successful 2-on-1 take down of VeVe in July, Howl and Sato agreed to meet up later to bondage wrestle against each other.  And so, we looked forward to this match-up.

But Howl had plans to go out of town at the end of August, so our timeline for the Howl vs Sato match suddenly became quite tight.  And, as it turned out, we weren't able to get Howl and Sato together in time, but returning wrestler Twiggy stepped in for the match.  And so, our first men's bondage wrestling match ended up being Howl vs Twiggy.

Once that long, grueling match finished, we gave Howl a much-needed break as we moved on to a competitive mixed bondage wrestling match of Twiggy vs VeVe.  So, Twiggy got to experience wrestling both a total novice and a bondage wrestling expert that day!

Once Howl had recovered, and following VeVe's roping of Twiggy, VeVe and Howl broke into a costume bag and got themselves decked out for a much anticipated pro-style match.  And as we were getting attire together for Howl, we discovered that, remarkably, he fit into VeVe's shiny red thong leotard.  VeVe put on her black thong leotard, and then, after they both added boots and tights, we had a splendid Thong Leotard Battle on our hands!


And just as I was getting all of that footage processed and released, I suddenly found that I was scheduled to shoot 3 more mixed wrestling videos within the first few days of September.

We had a much-anticipated competitive match between Sircee and Adrian, which had some Twitter-sphere built-up as the opponents tweeted menacingly at each other for months beforehand.

Two days later, we had an audition shoot for two new gentlemen, each of whom faced off against VeVe in different competitive wrestling styles, one after the other.  New wrestler Kevin fought VeVe in a regular wrestling bout, and newcomer Frankie took on VeVe in bondage wrestling.

Both Kevin and Frankie did a great job in their videos, and we have gladly added them to our roster of available talent.


Whew, and now, writing all of this is also reminding me that I'v still quite a lot of work to do for upcoming releases.  I've got quite a few unreleased videos that have been calling to me:

- A "special conditions" bondage match of VeVe vs Sircee, where VeVe fights with her ankles bound from the start.  And where she is attempting to get a specific fun-suggested tie on Sircee.
- The awesome bondage wrestling match of VeVe vs Frankie
- The 6-lady "Slave Revolt" video featuring VeVe and Indra as mistresses who get overpowered by their 4 escaped female captives

Ok, more to come, as always, and more being planned as we speak!

Big Update: Keri, VeVe, Sinn Sage, Howl, Spring 2014

Oh wow.  Soooo sorry for the delayed update!  I see my last posting was in March, and already today it is May 1.  I've been thinking about blogging, but my hands have been seriously tied lately (not literally this time, though!).

Last night, April showered its way into May as I was wrapping up a late night shoot with VeVe, Keri, and Indra.  I got home soaked and exhausted after taking a bunch of travel mats on an alternative subway route back from the midtown studio (my primary train line was having night time construction).  The rain last night was an absolute deluge, but at least it wasn't too cold... and at least none of my electronics got wet.

But in any case, last night's shoot, which closed out a very busy April 2014, featured a tickle bondage wrestling video with Keri and Indra, and then a bondage wrestling wrestling-shoe foot enslavement video with VeVe and Keri.  Keri got to tie and be tied; Indra ran her mouth as always; and VeVe got to be a little meanie.


Speaking of tickle bondage wrestling, VeVe and Keri also had their own tickle bondage wrestling match recently as well in late March.  And it was during that same shoot day that we met and filmed with Sinn Sage from California.  That was a late night shoot too, and we met up over at Keri's place, where we filmed three videos with Sinn and VeVe: a facesitting and smothers match, a bondage wrestling match, and a muscle worship scene.

Filming with Sinn Sage

Sinn has ample assets to easily win the judges' favor in a facesitting match, and little VeVe got to experience that ability first hand.  But when it came to the bondage wrestling, VeVe was the one with the strong advantage there.  Sinn was a real firecracker and put up a valiant resistance for a bondage wrestling newcomer, but she eventually ended up hogtied and ball gagged.  The ladies "cooled down" with a bout of muscle worship, with Sinn appreciatively oiling VeVe's pumped-yet-lean musculature.  Sinn has a background in muscle anatomy and physiology, and she said she was amazed that she could see individual muscle so easily on VeVe.  Sinn looks forward to giving VeVe another muscle massage in the future, and we look forward to filming with Sinn again (very likely this month, actually!).

But let me not neglect that tickle bondage wrestling match with VeVe and Keri.  It was absolutely wild!  I don't remember when this happened in the order of the shoot, but Sinn had a chance to watch and be very thoroughly entertained.  You see, both VeVe and Keri are incredibly ticklish and, as you may know, both ladies have a tendency to display large-and-loud personalities.  Plus competitive; did I mention they are competitive?!  Massive multi-tasking, rope, tickling, wrestling, fighting to NOT be tickled, shrieking, laughing, falling out the door and into the next room - it was quite a sight.  Both ladies handled the challenge incredibly well, and VeVe even mentioned on her Tumblr posting: "Possibly the hardest thing I've ever done!"

So, that was in March... But April, as I was saying.  Oh my, I don't think I'm going to be able to get everything in here, but I'll do the best I can.  But before I do that, one more from March (see what I'm talking about here?)

Howl's Video Adventures

Late March also brought us two very splendid competitive mixed matches featuring newcomer Howl.  I may have mentioned Howl earlier, but he's been a great athletic addition to our local crew.  He wrestled a little in high school and keeps very fit currently, but he doesn't train formally in any fighting sport.  He's 5'8", 130 lbs, and very flexible.

Howl took on VeVe in a fully competitive mixed match, which ended up rocking his world a good bit.  VeVe both shocked and impressed Howl with her skill, strength, and arsenal of techniques, and the two of them together created a little whirl wind of athletic energy on the mats for their bout.

And Howl is a little new to getting choked during a wrestling match, so he was particularly vulnerable to them, and sometimes a little slow on the tap out... But no knockouts occurred, if that's what you're thinking.  Just some bleary eyes and wobbly legs.

After a little rest, Howl then faced off against Orlandoe in a bondage wrestling match.  And, you see, this part was particularly interesting:

Originally for this shoot, VeVe had called on Howl and Lance to team up against her for a mixed 2-on-1 competitive bondage wrestling match.  She figured, hey, both Howl and Lance are of a good light weight, and neither of them had done bondage wrestling before, so surely they would make a good match for VeVe as a double-team.  She thought, hey, sure, she could have a good chance of tying both of them - why not?  But Lance had to call out with a back injury, leaving Howl by himself.  And since VeVe and Howl had just fought in wrestling, we turned to Orlandoe to help Howl get his feet wet with the rope-tie style.

But Howl needed no help at all.

Ropes in hand, Orlandoe and Howl set off at a great pace, with Howl very quickly coming out on top and lassoing Orlandoe with confidence.  Maybe he was fired up from his match with VeVe.  Maybe VeVe's "How To" lesson really stuck with him.  Maybe Orlandoe severely underestimated him.  But whatever the case, Howl came very close to immobilizing the very indignant Orlandoe... until Orlandoe's fury said otherwise.

Once Orlandoe got her bearings and realized it was all almost over for her, she put her powerful legs to work and squeezed Howl into near submission into order to get herself back in the game.  From there, she made a big comeback, and she paid Howl back rather handsomely for his stunning efforts (FYI, "paid back" = tortured).

Howl was a big hit with fans and viewers, and he appeared in two more videos in April.  He faced off against Mistress Trish in an athletic domination mixed match, where he suffered through Trish's verbal harassment, crushing scissors, and even more choke attacks as he worked to mount an offense of his own.  I'm working on the release information for that video right now, actually. (update: it's now released!)

And later that same day, Howl played jobber to me (Diablo) in a men's pro-style domination bout, where he suffered through more choke holds, plus camel clutches, back-bending holds, and all sorts of scissors.  Howl came out of all that declaring his not-so-much-love for head and body scissors.  It was a tough day for Howl, but he loved it and looks forward to more adventures in wrestling!

Wow, I'm taking up a lot of space, so I'll just hit on just a few small topics before heading back to the grind.

Three Mean Ladies and One Sorry Gentleman

Also in April, we filmed a very fun video called "A Lesson He Won't Forget," which featured VeVe, Amazon Annie, and Candy Pain all in black leotards and tights giving a very difficult time to poor Thrash.  In a sort of "Karate Nylons" style, Thrash appeared in his karate uniform while the pantyhose-clad ladies threw kicks at him in a variety of ways.  In "Lethal Leotards" style, the ladies were particularly mean and sadistic in their alluring black attire.  But novel to this video was one particular aspect for the ladies: glee!

I have a feeling that Annie and Candy really upped the gleefulness.  But despite Annie's big smile and Candy's cheer in contrast to VeVe's more casual smugness, they were all celebrating the punishment and humiliation of their sleazeball victim.

The premise was that Thrash had planted a hidden spy camera in the ladies' locker room, which they, of course, discovered.  And so, they plot and enact a fitting payback.  Behold, enticement via pantyhose-clad legs, teasing, mesmerizing.... followed by lots of kicks, double teaming, belittling, victory poses, victory poses galore!, more teasing, more kicks, more unhappiness for the poor little wanna-be spy.

The ladies all worked fantastically together, coordinating all of their moves right on the spot, communicating excellently in the moment, feeding off of each other's energy, and spinning the story out effortlessly.  It was like a very well rehearsed piece of theatre.  But it hadn't been rehearsed at all.  Really, hats off to VeVe, Annie, and Candy (and poor Thrash) for the great coordination and improvisation!

Zentai Suit Wrestling and More Nylon Adventures

For my last note in this entry, which sadly can't cover it all, I just want to mention my adventures in zentai suit wrestling.

We first tried zentai wrestling back on a very snowy day in February, where VeVe wrestled a guest named Raj for a mixed semi-competitive style bout.  The style and idea were well received, but VeVe was not pleased with the way her teal suit fit her.  Indeed, the inseam was a little too long for her.  However, when Minxy Li came over to visit in March, we discovered that the teal suit fit her just perfectly.  The red suit, which had been a bit big on Raj, fit Amazon Annie like a glove.  And so, Minxy and Annie suited up and gave us our very first female zentai wrestling video, which took place in the big studio and under lighting that encouraged a fine shine for the suits.

Here's Minxy and Annie suiting up:



We were so inspired by the zentai wrestling, the feeling of the suits in a scramble, and the fun of introducing people the sensation that VeVe went on to commission order four new zentai suits: a silver and blue for her and a pink and green for larger wearers.

Once the suits arrived, we created two new zentai wrestling videos, one mixed and one female/female.  The female/female came first, featuring Candy Pain in pink and VeVe in blue.  This was Candy's first time in a zentai suit, let alone a zentai wrestling match, so she was very excited to give it a try.  Candy is a fan of all sorts of costumes and second-skin attire, so the zentai wrestling was a great experience.  And Candy Pain in a bright pink zentai suit?  That just seems like a good combination!


VeVe kept on her blue suit and then tangled with Lance, who dons the neon green.  Lance is tall and thin, so in the green, he earned himself the character name of The Green Bean.  Blue and Green hit the mats for a slide-y, shiny domination wrestling bout.

Here are Candy, VeVe, and Lance suiting up:

We went on to also open a new studio for videos featuring zentai wrestling, zentai anything, plus spandex, nylon, lycra, and shiny and/or skin tight attire.  It's called Second Skin Videos, and it just opened today, May 1.



All righty, so I'll top things off here.  We look forward to May and the warmer season to come.  Looking forward to working more with Mistress Trish and also to the return of Hanz Vanderkill in June.  But we'll sadly be saying farewell to Candy Pain, who moves to California at the end of May.  Let's try to get her on camera some more before she heads west.

More to come, as ever, onward and upward!

Pictures with Lela Beryl, Rachel DD, VeVe, Howl, Diablo

Since I haven't had a moment to blog about our filming session with visiting models Lela Beryl and Rachel DD (aka Goddess Rachelle), I'd like to share some screen captures from the shoot.

We filmed a number of videos which also featured local talent VeVe Lane, Howl, and myself (Diablo) alongside our visitors.  We filmed a special custom with Lela and Howl, mixed wrestling domination with Rachel DD and Diablo, Lingerie Party Facesitting, bondage wrestling Diablo vs Lela, competitive wrestling VeVe vs Rachel DD.  All represented in the pictures below!
