IMPORTANT: While the two models in the first half of the video speak English, the models in the second half speak French. 

Sarah has her friend Steph exactly where she wants her: ankles locked in stocks and incapable of defending her feet. This is a very straightforward scene as tickling scenes go, and not much needs to be said about it. Steph’s black socks soon come off, allowing Sarah to tickle her exposed soles for over 8 minutes. After two or three minutes, Steph’s previously wiggly feet are restrained by a couple of leather toe cuffs that pull her big toes back and keep her feet in a V position, preventing the latter from protecting each other. Lying on her back with her wrists and elbows cuffed, Steph must suffer through Sarah’s upper body tickle treatment. Her sleeveless top has been pulled up to expose her belly and ribs. Also exposed is a large skeleton tattoo that she has on her left flank. Fittingly enough, the skeleton appears to be tickling her upper ribs. Sarah spends the first few minutes by Steph’s side to work on her entire torso (with an emphasis on the armpits), helping the mischievous skeleton do its job. She then climbs on the table and straddles her poor friend, concentrating on those vulnerable armpits. I point out that Steph’s socked feet, locked in stocks, are within Sarah’s reach, so they get teased by Steph for a few moments after I peel off the socks. But Sarah soon goes back to the upper body, now standing over Steph at the end of the table. The targets are once again the sensitive armpits. Steph makes a few weak attempts at biting Sarah, but Sarah warns her that she can bite back. Finally, Sarah has a lot of fun giving Steph a series of zerberts on her belly.  A neat little trick allows me to turn my comfy armchair into a simple yet useful bondage apparatus. The headrest cushion is attached to the chair but can be flipped back. I placed a wooden rod with metal loops at the ends (basically a spreader bar) on top of the chair and covered it with the head cushion, effectively trapping it there. The rod is just long enough for the loops to stick out at the sides of the cushion. When the scene starts, we can see that Sarah is on the floor behind the chair (towards us, since the chair faces away from the camera). Her wrists are cuffed at one end of the rod, attached to the loop, and her ankles hang from the other end. So she basically has her legs and feet up. Steph sits on the chair, leaning on the head cushion so she has easy access to Sarah’s feet. The latter are still covered by mismatched socks, and Steph demonstrates that the socks offer little protection against her probing fingers. They soon come off, and Sarah’s feet aren’t any less ticklish once bare. Through her enthusiastic giggles, Sarah insists that her feet and toes aren’t ticklish, despite clear evidence to the contrary. A few minutes later her big toes are tied together to further restrict her movements. Steph’s leg is swung over the backrest at this point, so we get to see her own bare foot for much of the second half of the scene. At one point, while she keeps her own foot against Sarah’s feet, the visual effect is a little weird, like she’s tickling three feet belonging to the same person. For the last scene of this shoot, Steph finds herself in a position that I’ve used a couple times not so long ago. But it’s a neat position that I rather like, so what the hell. Basically, she’s restrained face down on my weight bench (have I ever mentioned that I don’t even have weights to go with it?) with her ankles cuffed so that her soles are to the ceiling. Oh, she’s also sporting a hat now, for a slightly different look. Her feet are already bare, and Sarah wastes no time digging in.

Muffled music coming from my neighbors’ apartment can be heard through the wall, but that has no impact on the shoot. Betty is sitting in an armchair. Her friend Anouk is facing away from her in an office chair. Since Betty’s ankles are cuffed to the office chair’s arms, Anouk has easy access to Betty’s helpless feet. The big toes are also pulled back with thin rope, further restraining the feet. Betty, a moderate ticklee, doesn’t tend to burst into manic, uncontrollable laughter, so the action is on the playful side. But the tickling clearly gets to her, and she does giggle quite a bit. After a couple of minutes I decide that even though there isn’t much Betty can do to protect herself, restraining her hands would make for an more interesting picture. So her arms are now wrapped around the office chair’s backrest. In addition to scratching the soles, Anouk seems to enjoy sticking her fingers under and between Betty’s toes, which works pretty well. Another thing that works well on Betty’s toes is an electric toothbrush, which Anouk has fun experimenting with. I try to vary the physical restriction methods used in my videos, but I regularly go back to good old massage table-and-stocks combo. It’s an effective, tried and true approach, and it provides an excellent view of the ticklee’s soles, so I see no reason not to use it with Betty. Anouk spends the first minute or so pulling off Betty’s black and pink socks with white skulls on them, making sure she starts by exposing the hindfoot so she can gently tease the heel for a while before removing the sock completely. Once both her feet are bare, Betty’s toes are restrained, pulled to the sides so that her feet form a V shape. Her big toes are held by small leather cuffs while her second and third toes are tied with thin rope. Her socks dangle from the rope, held in place by clothespins, as if they were hung to dry next to her feet. Now the real tickling begins. Anouk uses the electric toothbrush a lot in this scene, but her fingers also get to have some fun.  For her last scene, Betty lies on her belly with her feet locked in stocks, toes down. Anouk is crouching right behind the stocks, overlooking her friend’s feet. For the first three minutes she gradually removes Betty’s socks, tickling whatever skin is exposed, until the socks are completely off. We then add a few whimsical touches in the form of two small plush animals, a polar bear and a moose, dangling from bits of strings attached to Betty’s pinky toes. Both plushies have a Canadian flag on the belly, which I think is rather appropriate (me and my models are Canadian, after all). In addition, each plushie has one of Betty’s socks clothespinned to its hand. There’s no reason for these decorations, other than the desire to get a little goofy. The moose gets loose and falls to the floor after several minutes, but the polar bear hangs on the whole time. Anouk uses an electric toothbrush on Betty’s toes for part of the scene, but she mostly uses her nails. Also, while she usually tickles from above, she sometimes sticks her arms through the stocks’ side holes to tickle Betty’s feet in the middle.
