IMPORTANT: The models in this video, like most of The Last Laugh's models, speak FRENCH, or at least its quaint Quebecois dialect. 
For me, working with Judith and Karine was a slightly different experience than usual because there was another person present during the shoot, someone who wasn't a model. Indeed, while the girls were quite comfortable with posing for a video, it was decided that Judith's boyfriend, Georges (it takes an 's' in French), should be allowed to sit through the shoot. Just a formality, it's not like he was there to keep an eye on me or anything. Even though I usually prefer to work with models alone, I can't argue with something that makes the models even more comfortable, possibly improving their tickling performance. Besides, Georges was very friendly and he actually found the shoot to be quite entertaining. From time to time he even helped me out with a few technical issues, like lighting conditions and such. Also, I didn't see any reason not to allow him the pleasure of giving Karine a hand with tormenting his own girlfriend from time to time, his hands (but usually not his face) appearing on camera on occasion. Rest assured that Georges did a very good job of being discreet and was definitely more a help than a hindrance. For me, it was also kind of neat to have someone to trade a few humorous words with while the girls did their job. 

For the foot fans, Karine and Judith also appear in Last Laugh Feet 3, their segment making up a third of that video. 

Last Laugh Mu begins in a rather standard way, Judith sitting on my massage table with her wrists cuffed over her head and her ankles in stocks. She starts laughing as Karine tickles her, first through her socks, then, after a couple of foot-revealing pulls, on her bare soles. This works nicely, but it gets even worse when Karine grabs a foot and starts using an electric toothbrush. Karine quickly figures out that the best spot for using such a tool is the base of the toes. She later switches to a comb, and while she has limited success with the right foot for some reason, going for the left gets Judith going again. Oh, see, it seems the right foot responds to the comb after all. 

Moving up, Karine is now in position for some upper body tickling. Judith is ticklish pretty much everywhere. At the moment Karine is concentrating on the armpits. Unfortunately for Judith, she can't do a thing to defend herself, since in addition to having her wrists cuffed above her head her elbows are also cuffed to the sides. No flaying arms and closed armpits for her. She gives the impression of getting used to the sensation for a few seconds, but Karine slightly adjusts her technique and she's back in business. Karine comments that it's fun to make Judith suffer, earning herself a "bitch!" reply from her victim. Karine tells her "You shouldn't say dirty words to your auntie Karine". 

As I said, Georges gives a tickling hand from time to time, which he does now by exploring his girlfriend's feet with the electric toothbrush's vibrating bristles. It's hard to tell how much of an effect he's having, since Judith's laughter could perfectly well be the result of Karine's simultaneous efforts on her upper body, but no matter, Judith is suffering under the fingers and bristles of two people at the same time, both obviously having a lot of fun doing it. Well, I think Karine's fingers are more effective than the brush, but Georges is enjoying himself, and isn't that what really matters? 

An reflection in a mirror suggests that Karine is climbing on the table to straddle Judith. Pointing the camcorder at the real girls confirms this. Karine gets good results on the belly and ribs, but often hits paydirt on the conveniently exposed armpits. At one point she says that Judith might make her fall off the table, but she seems pretty stable and very much in control to me. A stray hand of the male persuasion can be seen messing around with Judith's feet with a comb. Later he comes back with a hairbrush. Karine can also reach back to get a foot with one hand while keeping the other on Judith's stomach. 

Judith coughs a few times, apparently having swallowed through the wrong pipe. Nothing serious, but Karine says, laughing, that she almost feels sorry for her. Notice the word "almost", as well as the fact that she's not stopping or slowing down in any way. Judith just tells her to go to hell, which earns her a friendly warning about her language, especially when the person whom the dirty language is aimed at happens to be in total in control of the situation. Karine gets her especially good as she exclaims "Suffer! Suffer!" In a playful way, naturally. Ah, it seems Georges is now using his fingers, though he later clicks on the electric toothbrush to contribute to the action in the background while I concentrate of what Karine's doing. 

There's a brief interruption on the action, but Karine jumps back in, declaring "No rest for you!" As her armpits are getting the tickle treatment, Judith tries to bite Karine's fingers off a few times. No luck, and Karine can always move to the belly if she wants, placing her precious digits out of harm's way.

While Karine continues in the armpit area, Georges discovers (or remembers) that Judith's knees are especially sensitive, and his hand can be seen grabbing and kneading them, causing Judith to let out a loud laughing scream of ticklish distress. After a few intense moments of this we decide that Judith's turn is over. For now.
The stocks are now strapped to the end of the studio's bed. The mattress makes for a rather softer resting surface than the massage table, so the stocks can't remain perfectly still as the rock around, but they're still perfectly functional. Karine is kneeling with her ankles in the stocks, toes down. Her wrists are also cuffed to the bed posts, which she grabs for better support. This isn't a very sturdy bed, to tell the truth. The posts can wiggle a bit. I certainly wouldn't consider tying a model to the posts alone, at least not at the top. But in this particular position they're quite sufficient. Karine gets the feeling that she's in trouble, and she says that she's already getting in itch, unable to do anything about it. Tough luck.

Judith thrusts herself into the shot, grabbing Karine's unprotected waist. Karine exclaims "Oh no! Not her!" Well, yeah, "her". Who did she expect? Judith sits on the floor and attacks Karine's socked feet. It turns out that Karine is more ticklish than Judith, including on her feet. That's why she goes through more tickling than Judith in this video. Got to make the most of a person's "skills", after all. Through her laughter she manages to say that she hates her position because she feels so helpless. Needless to say, this is very satisfying to Judith. She hears Karine let out a curse and it's her turn to warn her about foul language.

Judith starts pulling on the left sock. Karine points out that it's very much stuck in the stocks' hole, but she knows it's only a matter of time before Judith finally pries it out. Sure enough, after a bit of work the left foot is bared. Then the right. Judith doesn't waste time and digs in. Karine is now in tickle hell. She jokingly asks to be freed. Uh huh, right. 

After having her toes fingered for a few moments, Karine hears the buzzing sound that can only come from the electric toothbrush. Judith, giggling evilly, makes sure her victim experiences the same thing she did a bit earlier. Karine warns her to leave her alone, but since her movements are more or less limited to rocking the stocks a bit and looking back at Judith, her threats are rather hollow. Besides, Judith is enjoying herself too much to stop now (or even later).

A comb is taken out and, after yelping in surprise, Karine asks what the heck that is. Judith is more than happy to show it her and demonstrate how effective it is. Karine's reactions get more intense than before and she announces once again that she really hates it. But she's a good sport, realizing we're all just doing our jobs here, so she just asks for a few moments to cough a few times before allowing the action to start again. But then the tickling gets worse. Strangely enough, she asks again what the tool is, even though she must realize it's still the same comb. Judith makes goofy faces with her tongue sticking out to indicate how much sadistic, revengeful fun she's having. 

Judith tries a hairbrush. It doesn't tickle quite as much as the comb, so she picks up the comb again and uses one tool on each wiggling foot. She says that using two tools at the same time is kinda hard to coordinate, but possible. They sure work on Karine, who says that she doesn't like them. Then the toothbrush joins the fun. At first Judith holds one foot still with her hand with using the toothbrush, then she wedge Karine's foot between her own socked feet to keep it still, freeing one hand to tickle the other foot with the comb. Not surprisingly, Karine declares that this isn't much fun, heheheh!

A short break later Judith offers her a choice: the left foot or the right foot. Karine doesn't feel she's being offered much of a privilege, but she knows she doesn't have a choice and chooses the left, which Judith happily attacks, holding on to the big toe. Karine's reactions are rather intense now, and she struggles as much as she can (which isn't much). "I told you I'd get my revenge", gloats Judith.

At the end of the kneeling-in-stocks portion of Karine's ordeal, Judith climbs in the bed in front of her for a bit of upper body exercise. This is hell for Karine. All she can do is grab the posts and lean forward as far as her arms will allow. Judith mostly works the ribs for now, with excellent results. However, Karine doesn't receive much upper body tickling in this position because we decide to save most of it for a different position.

The new position isn't especially sophisticated, but it works just fine. Karine is simply lying on her back on the bed, spread-eagled, her wrists tied to two posts and her ankles cuffed to each end of a kind of short spreader bar, itself tied to the other two posts. A perfect position for easy access to most of the upper body. Plus the feet for a bit more variety. In fact, it's the feet that Judith starts with. This time, Karine instantly recognizes the tool: "Oh no, not the red comb!" She really hates that thing. It really does tickle her a lot. And for some reason, when Judith switches to the other foot, Karine goes even more crazy. 

After a minute or so of nasty foot tickling, Judith shift her position and starts digging into the belly. Karine is just as ticklish there as on her feet. She goes nuts. While still keeping one hand on the waist, Judith picks up a feather and drags it under an armpit. Then it's the fingers of one hand in the right armpit while the other hand feathers the opposite ear. Karine's head is rolling left and right and she says "There's people everywhere!" Turns out she has very sensitive ears. Judith presses her head against the mattress to keep it still so she can better tease her ear with a feather. Another feather can be seen entering the shot at the other end (i.e. the feet) as Georges decides to assist his girlfriend for a change.

Judith has some fun interrupting the tickling for a second, giving Karine the faint hope that she's being allowed a break, only to pounce on her again a couple seconds later, making her grunt in surprise and laugh out loud. "You're sick!", she accuses. Judith is loving this. Karine is just fine, of course, and she's given a break in the sense that Judith moves to her feet. Ok, so it's not really an improvement, but at least it's a change. Karine goes crazy, probably really hating that damn comb. 

After a couple minutes the comb becomes more scratchy and less tickly. Karine's reactions lessen. But that's no problem, Judith knows what to do. She turns around and attacks the upper body again. Guaranteed success. She also gives the knees a try, but after realizing that they're just moderately ticklish she goes back to her favorite spots. Karine can barely be heard saying "I can't take it anymore" through her breathless laughter. Judith stops. But of course, evil as she is, the break only lasts 5 seconds. 

Judith slips a blindfold over Karine's eyes. Not seeing what's coming makes Karine quite apprehensive. Judith alternates between feet and upper body, between fingers and comb, keeping Karine clueless about what's coming next. Judith makes it worse by doing her wait-a-few-seconds-then-attack-viciously routine. Karine tells her she's insane. Judith doesn't mind. 

The blindfold is eventually removed and, after a few moments of upper body tickling, Judith goes back to the feet. As we observe the results and compare them with previous attacks, we finally realize that Karine's right foot seems more ticklish than the left. All the more reason to give it some extra attention. Then Judith improves her "surprise" attack technique by throwing herself at Karine from a standing position, pouncing like a tiger, animal growl included. The scene seems pretty much over, but she can't resists launching a few quick, last minute attacks. Will Karine's ordeal never end?

Judith in on the floor. She's on her stomach. Her wrists are cuffed together behind her back. Her ankles are cuffed together and tied to the wrist cuffs by about a foot of rope so that her knees are bent and her feet up. Karine sits down behind her, wrapping her legs around Judith's to keep them still. She digs into her feet through her socks. Judith kicks a bit and says "I'm kicking your boobs", which I guess are indeed at the same level. Bad Judith. Karine pulls off the socks and goes to town on those bare soles. "Take this, you little brat, you made me suffer earlier!"

After a few moments of tickling and giggling I dangle the infamous comb in front of the camcorder, showing it to the girls. I toss it to a very approving Karine. Judith's "Oh shit" suggests she's not exactly looking forward to this. Time for her to have a taste of her own medicine. She sometimes has this weird guttural laughter that, if it were put into comic book form, might be translated as something like "Huh hyuk hyuk hyuk!!!", though it doesn't actually sound quite that silly. 

"Isn't this fun? You like this, huh?", Karine taunts. As I get a close-up shot of Judith's face she can actually be seen dribbling a bit. Losing control over our bodily fluids, are we? Sometimes Karine lets her own foot slide close to Judith's side, and the latter desperately tries to grab it, but her position and the tickling really don't give her much of a chance for retaliation. 

We take a short break to make a little change. We want Karine to do some upper body tickling, mostly on the front side, but because of the way Judith's wrists and ankles are kept close together behind her back by the short length of rope, such a position wouldn't be very stable. So the idea is for Judith to get her wrists in front of her. But we don't even bother to cut the rope between the two pairs of velcro cuffs. It wouldn't be as funny. We get to see her do a little rocking and squirming dance as she tries to figure out how to do it. Georges, heard laughing in the background, finds this especially hilarious. It really is pretty amusing (which is why I kept that bit in the video). With some help from Karine she finally manages to slip her arms over her butt. She then clears her feet and her arms are now in front of her. But the short rope joining the cuffs, between her legs, still keeps her knees bent. It's not long enough to allow her to extend her legs and lie down flat on her back. Which is just fine by Karine. 

Karine mostly gets the waist, but she also manages to get her fingers through to the armpits. Judith can't do much besides roll over a bit, although she does somehow manage to pull off the elastic thingie that Karine was wearing to keep her hair tied. The action alternates between upper body and feet. The comb adds a few minutes to its time sheet. Unfortunately for Karine, the scene has to end eventually. It's now her turn once again. 

One basic position that I don't often use with models is tying their wrists above their heads. I mean, I do often tie their arms over their heads on the massage table, but rarely to a post, beam or whatever. The main reason is that I usually don't find myself shooting in locations that provide structures that allow such a position. It's too bad, because it provides easy access to the upper body. Well, the studio doesn't help much for that, but we use the table and stocks to approximate that situation. 

Karine is sitting in front of the massage table, which is set to its highest position. The stocks are right above her and her wrists are tied to the top. That way, as long as she remains on the floor her arms are held above her head. And while it doesn't leave a lot of space behind her for Judith, the latter can crawl under the table and work from there in a sitting position (it's a tight fit, though). 

Judith starts by sitting next to Karine and poking her a few times in the ribs. She then grabs her ankles and removes her socks. Karine's legs aren't tied, but Judith uses her own legs to tangle them up and keep them still. She tickles Karine's feet for a few moments, then tells her "Just wait until I get the lethal weapon!" Of course she's referring to that nasty comb, which she picks up and puts to good use. 

Judith eventually slips under the table's end, directly behind Karine. She now has easy access to her waist, ribs and armpits and takes fully advantage of this. Karine's neck, one of her weak spots, is also the target of Judith's attentions. She lets out a few snorting sounds, earning herself some unflattering (and uncalled-for) porcine comparisons. 

After a while, Judith comes out from under the table to work on the feet again. Then she goes back to the upper body. Karine still laughs, it still tickles, but she's visibly getting tired at this point (well, more than before), and it is getting rather late. However, each time Judith appears to give her last squeeze or poke, she strikes again. Karine has no idea when it's going to stop. But eventually it does, both girls having well earned their salary and some rest.
