Julie Simone: One Of Our Favorite Binders Of Women

We may not always understand why Julie Simone ties up women, binds, restrains, pinches, flogs, suspends, and submerges them, but we know she does it well.

"Bound Rubber Dolls" is a collection of scenes featuring solo and partnered bondage, with disturbing and sometimes shocking images of pinioned and wriggling women in different kinds of restraining fabric. We've seen some of these images before—the bound rubber doll tied up on a backyard California diving board, struggling against their restraints on the seat of a backhoe or in industrial areas—but this re-edited collection has some new scenes and new music by The Muse, Weja, and Rob Brigham that combine to make this disc great background material for your next grave get-together.

Yes: play "Bound Rubber Dolls" at your Halloween party.

There is no denying that Simone presents sexy material, but she is not a weekend fetishist; Nikki Sebastian doesn't just flop around for the allotted time and then fo through the rotation of blowjob, missionary, anal, and facial cumshot. For Simone, the binding is the goal, and we respect that. (Much as we love facial cumshots.)

Simone herself appears in a few scenes, starting off the movie binding herself (how does that work, exactly?) and then masterfully rigging throughout the rest. It's great to see Sebastian and RubberNecro as well as Samantha Grace and JJ Plush. The final scene is evocative of Edward Munch's "The Scream" and makes us wonder why we never got how sexy that painting was when we had it on our lunchboxes in high school.
