Backstage Access

Backstage Access

It was our third attempt to get backstage access. My friend Erika and I had tried everything: bribing the security personnel, sneaking in—you name it. Nothing had worked. And when we finally made it backstage, there was a surprise waiting for us!

Now, usually, when you get backstage access, you have the opportunity to take some pictures with your favorite celebrity. Sometimes, they invite you for a drink in their dressing room; or something like that. However, it turned out that our favorite singer—whose name I cannot say—has a thing for BDSM. From all the practices and deviations in the catalog, bondage is his favorite. And, since he likes the original Japanese bondage, he’s a fan of Shibari.

So, instead of remaining backstage, he invited us to join him on a limo. We headed out for a studio. As you can imagine, it was a premium place, full of equipment. The singer’s manager had rented it just for us. Then, he asked us if he could do a scene with us.

We were trembling at the idea of doing a rope scene with him! That’s way more than a selfie or a signed t-shirt. A doctor checked on us, to see if we could perform. And, when he greenlit us, our favorite celebrity began to tie us.

By the way he handled the ropes, I can tell that he is truly a bondage enthusiast. He knew exactly what he was doing, and what the scene should look like. He was also very attentive toward us, which is very important when you play bottom for someone you don’t know very well.

After the scene, there was a party for the band’s team. We had snacks and drinks. All in all, it was an unforgettable night.

This is our Shibari story.
