LuXuria in Russia
Great emotions are coming back to memory while we start writing this post about our trip to Russia…
We arrived in Moscow and our first big challenge was to orienteer and find the Aeroexpress train to reach the city center though everything was – of course- written in Cyrillic! All was full of recent snow and the air was pretty freezing so we immediately got into the Russian mood.
Nevertheless we managed quite easily and the sweet Aliya was welcoming us at the underground station. Well this was a pretty funny experience. We soon realized that Moscow is very crowded, and all the gates to the underground are very narrow to prevent the cold air to get indoor… so we found ourselves literally stuck in queues to reach the trains!
Once we reached the flat that our friend and guest Boris rent for the days in Moscow we had a warm dinner, a good Russian beer and a hot tea, and instead of just relaxing, as Karol wanted to taste some LuXuria style, Wildties improvised a very intense and involving Newaza session, he tied her using just the floor and a big chair, a very suggestive moment of private connection that Karol seemed to appreciate a lot!
We chatted and relaxed until late evening, while planning the day after workshop and performances.
On 1st December we were guested in a very cozy and warm BDSM pub, named Geometria. A very welcoming kinky atmosphere, great ambient, and lots of suspension points! We run a workshop in the afternoon mainly focused on Takate Kote and Safety, that flowed very well in spite of the simultaneous translation very professionally delivered by Alex, who is also a bottom that likes to be tied.
The level of participation and interest positively surprised us so we were pretty excited for the night shows!
The evening started with our first performance that was a suspensions and heavy transitions one, very dynamic so to warm the atmosphere.
Then several good performances followed with our Russian friends as main protagonists!
Let us quote the always sensual and elegant self-suspension of Aliya, a feast for the eyes to see her beauty and bendiness in ropes.
Then we had the chance to see Karol performing, her model was very beautifully surrendering to ropes and Karol showed a nice degree of creativity, she has a really personal style.
Then Boris performed with Aliya, it was a very rich show with great music and different heavy transitions for the model, Boris can offer a highly artistic effect!
The night was not finished as there were two more shows to go before our last performance!
We already had the chance to see Vlada and Falco at LFAJRB in October, but this time we were amazed from the incredible stamina of Falco: this guy looks like he can take everything in ropes, he processes pain and discomfort in an impressive way.
It was the first time we saw Ivan Salamandr performing instead: and we must say he has a good energy in tying, very sensual and with a good pace.
Our second and last performance closed the evening. We decided to do something very unusual for a show. We chose to make it more like a real session, full of predicament positions and SM, instead of focusing on the model flying around.
Even if we were wondering about the possible reactions of the audience, in the end we had an unexpected result, people screaming “bravo” and coming for congratulations after the show. We were very glad to see them appreciating and understanding the emotions and depth of real Japanese style Kinbaku. It was great to see some of the girls in the audience in tears from the emotions!
The night was long and we had many more chances to go on chatting, drinking vodka (oh a lot of Vodka!) and tying beautiful girls!
The day after we left by a high velocity luxurious train to St Petersburg.
We had a pretty long travel and as soon as we arrived we reached the new place where we were supposed to perform: the Aurora club, a huge fantastic location where concerts take place, and that already hosted the RopeFest organized by Boris in June.
The first thing we discovered when we arrived was… that in our space didn’t exist a suspension point! It was incredible to see Boris, Wildties and Sergej literally building a solid and safe suspension structure in the stage in only 30’!!
So we started again with a first show more based on transitions and dynamics, even if always in pure traditional Japanes apparel and style.
Then we had Aliya in a new self suspension show, always very smooth and intriguing.
Karol proposed a new improved version of her show very based on creating beautiful choreographies with the body of the model.
We were really amazed by both the two new performances from Boris, modeling Sascha and Valya, both the shows were very sensual and with a touch of increasing connection between the Rigger and the models.
The night ended again with our second show, we offered as in Moscow a more intimate, slower session, based on rope torture and beauty in suffering. Again this kind of performance conquered our audience especially when Wildties literally sat on Redsabbath while she was suspended and used her a a swing!
After a well deserved relax, the day after we had some free time to visit the city, and Boris was our perfect guest showing us some very beautiful slices of the heart of St Petersburg like the astounding Winter Palace and the Nevskij Prospekt.
In the evening we had a workshop in an interesting lovable photo studio, again with a focus on Takate Kote and Safety, and it started in a very suggestive mood as Wildties was freely improvising and tying up Sascha when all the participants arrived, so they were in complete silent enjoying that magical moment of private show.
We stayed until late answering questions, sharing tips and tricks, and we realized… it was ended too soon!
Infact the day after , after spending some time together with Boris and having a typical lunch together, we were flying to Italy in the early afternoon.
Well.. what to say. It was an incredible good time and very enriching experience.
We really want to thank Boris Mosafir, a good friend, an incredibly fast growing Rigger, a perfect guest.
We want to thank Aliya and Karol, they were very welcoming and caring all the time.
And we want to thank all the beautiful and funny people we had the luck to meet there, despite the snow and the cold, Russian people were so warm and enjoyable that we were already missing them while checking in for our flight back home.
We are very anxious to go back both to Moscow and St Petersburg for the respective RopeFests the next summer.
We’re still waiting for some shots and videos from the four performances, so we will upload as soon as we have them all the full galleries.
Thanks again, or better, SPASIBA!
