i was going to post this at first in the TUGs talk section but i felt like this was something i should share with everyone (even the non members) so i decided to post it in the true story section instead (it's easier to gain forgiveness than permission).
so anyway, i just got back from my vacation. and it may not have had any bondage included but it was still a great vacation.
during my week in England i found this rope that really caught my attention. at first it seemed like just a regular yellow rope and i thought "meh, i already got a bunch of ropes at home and it's not like i will be needing any during the festival" but then i looked closer at it and noticed what was written on the package.
"glow in the dark diamond braid rope".
for real?
that was the first thing that came to mind. when i looked at the price i realized also that this rope was much cheaper than any rope back home (that is the good thing about being in other countries than my own. everything is cheaper).
also, 15 meter is more than enough for the sake of tying up a person and it seemed to be very flexible.
obviously i had to buy this. i was really curious about if it actually would glow in the dark too.
one of the first things i did when i came home was entering the darkest room in my basement, close the door and see if it actually worked.
my expectations was that it probably would have some kind of reflection if you held a flash light toward it so it would be easier to see where it was in the dark since it was meant for camping. but no, to my surprise it worked really well. as soon as i closed the door and held up the rope in the dark room it glowed so much i could see the reflection of it in a mirror.
it actually did glow in the dark. not good enough that my camera could show you the effect, but still it worked a lot better than i had expected.
imagine how much fun you could have with this during a TUG or a bondage segment. it should give some interesting effects that might make it even more fun.
i can't wait to try this out
