Mick's goal is weave the ropes around Dee to achieve three goals:

• Dee must not be able to escape (at least not without help)
• Dee must be comfortable enough to enjoy the rope and not loose circulation
• The tie must be symmetrical...aesthetics are important, so neatness and uniformity are also important, but symmetry is essential

To see these ties broken down by category, go to the journal entry

Dee's favorite escape partner, K	Here Dee and friend are tied at New year's	Lots of fun watching them work together	Dee likes me to put the knots in "interesting" places
So she can untie them with her teeth	Purple rope on tan skin	Which rope goes where	Almost loose
There, my arms are free	Another tie with wrist to elbow to knee to ankle	Oops, she can twist far enough to reach her knee with her teeth	With her wrist free...
She can get her wrists loose	With her wrists loose, she can reach her legs	And escape completely	A simple but inescapable tie
But her wrists are tied very tightly and in danger of loosing circulation	Dee in a three-girl tie...one of the girls could reach her ankles, and they eventually all got loose	Dee at a B-Wtiches party (hence the bodysuit, months before Alannis Morrisette)	After the photo, she got loose by getting her arms around her head
Dee and Donna	More teeth to the rescue	A suspension tie designed by David Lawrence	Wrists tied palm-to-palm
Designed for suspension, lots of rope around the upper torso	David tied judy in hemp, and I followed along in nylon	But when told to escape, they simply pulled their wrists free	An attempt to weave an armbinder
Rear view...it was secure, but the knots made it too uncomfortable for long-term wear	Another attempt at a comfortable armbinder...she got loose	Front view of another attempt to bind her arms	Rear view, failed...she could rotate her arms to the front and reach the knot
A new starting point, crossed in back	over the shoulder and cross-weaved in front	The wrists are tied separately, and the arms cinched together	The upper arms are cinched to the body a second time
Rear view of second layer complete	Add a third layer to prevent the arm cinches from being pulled down over the elbow	Rear view before escape attempt	Finally, she can't escape, can't reach the knot just below her neck, and can't pull the upper arm cinch down over the elbow
