Seattle, WA -- That's my boy Jeff in Seattle at the Cuff Complex getting a buzz cut during the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Ram It fundraiser last Friday night. Matt Hefel (pictured) and Rusty were there, providing the buzz cuts. Boris was bootblacking and Gene Romaine was flogging for cash. Jeff and I were just there to enjoy the evening and show off his new tattoo. Sometimes it's nice to not be involved with an event and just have some fun.

And then there's doing it with Jeff. I met Jeff last October and I still catch myself staring at him from across the room, the other side of a table or laying bed. I am that taken by his beauty. When he stands next to me I am consumed by his presence and when he nuzzles up against me I feel like the luckiest man in the room. I am happy he has become a part of my life. He has been welcomed into the fold of my family here in Seattle and has accepted his place with my boy Derek at my side.

I am truly blessed by the quality of character exhibited by the people with whom I share my life. Together we seem to attract those similar to our selves, like Johnny. On Saturday afternoon I had an opportunity to play with Johnny for the first time even though he has been an ancillary member of my core crew for quite some time. Johnny has an interest in needle play, experienced a scene with someone outside my circle and even volunteered for the Nature's Wrath and Needles Scorned scene with my boy Derek during Northwest Sash Bash 2008.

For our scene together, I decided to attempt something new for the both of us... Needles for Bondage. I ran several series of 20, 19 and 18 gage rows of needles on Johnny's chest, abdomen, thighs and wrists. Then bound those rows to my floating bondage table using heavy string. I've posted a gallery for your examination and intend to expand upon this theme in the near future.
