It has been quite some time since we have done this! Dave makes the movies. We critique the Good, Bad, Ugly, & Outstanding achievements of the projects. It should come as no surprise that we dearly love the content put out by Dave. Each of us has our own little fetish or criteria that we search for in movies. Let us restart this segment with a question Dave had put to us a few months ago.
AT THE END OF A LONG DAY!
Lady Lazarus makes her starring debut at Beauties-In-Bondage with this and other movies. She had sent me a tweet asking me how she could get in touch with Dave as she was very interested in creating bondage-themed movies. Dave had asked us what our likes and dislikes about Lady Lazarus. She is nice lady to chat with on social media but she LOVES the tattoos. Is that a turn-off for you guys. Most women at BiB have tattoos. Even Jasmine is sporting a few on her gorgeous body. Vonka Romanov is talking about adding to her collection.
Would we like to see Lady Lazarus return to BiB or was she a one-time visit?
Sorry to short circuit this, but she can't return. Her sales were so poor I took a massive hit from that one shoot. No one is interested, here or on C4S. That's how it goes sometimes. The tats may well play a role, and the pink hair. I found similar problems with Scarlett Storm whose predilection for these same two things (tats and orange hair) impaired her popularity, and her sales were low when she appeared solo. When she shared the screen, it was clearly the other model driving the sales.
Sales do speak and this is a business! You have mentioned that models do not return when their movies do not sell. You gave her a chance but the sales were not there.
It sounds risky but what sounds fun, also, is a behind-the-scenes video of some of Dave's more interesting shoots. Some of the more memorable moments, some of the goofy stuff, maybe some of the rituals the models take before shooting, etc. What would be some items you would like to hear about that are not shown on video. I mean, we hear about stuff that happens when we ask specific questions. Therefore, this will probably not see the light of day with Dave for particular reasons. As always, the videos are fun. We have a blast with our favorite models when they show up for shoots.
You would think the models themselves would have an idea what's going to look good on camera and what's not. Difficult but think you made the right decision Dave.
Videos from the early days of BiB are not receiving enhancements and given new life. However, the acting, models, and the bondage are all still the same from the early days, of course. Not stating that any are better than others. However, watching some of the older, remastered videos, do you recall anything that you wish we could still see today? Anything you are glad we no longer see in videos? Dave caters to the audience and to sales, so it is sales that determine what direction the movies will take. Does it remind you of what we enjoyed ten plus years ago? Does it make you miss "the good ol' days"?

On the contrary. My instinct said "don't do it!", but then I try to consider others who visit the site who may not think the same as me and might actually like this look. To be fair, I receive comments about various models I've hired, most of it flattering, and in some cases I would definitely not agree with their comments, but the site is aimed at as wide an audience as possible, not just what I like.

I would enhance/remaster more, but the latter takes such a long time to do. With the old 4:3 videos, they need the full treatment to bring them close to today's standards, so I have to pick my battles.
You are doing a fabulous job with your videos, current selections, old, and remastered. Your business acumen is there. I like to chat, post, and generate conversations. However, I am more interested in BiB because of what you offer your public.
