DeGiotto was invited to audition for a TV show and music video.  He and his model, Elise, filmed this short video showing them just having fun with a very brief (90 second) shibari suspension.

DeGiotto used no special harnesses or special ties.  The primary support in this suspension is a simple double wrap around Elise’s waist which then acted as a hip harness.  Notice, Elise tied the knot completing the wrap around her stomach.  This narrow wrap on Elise’s hips is very uncomfortable as the primary support in a suspension.  Although some models, like Ellise, can tolerate it for a short time, some can’t tolerate it at all.  The way he tied her hands works only in special and fun performances like this with experienced performers.  It is not appropriate for a typical shibari scene.

Enjoy the video after the break.

.DeGiotto and Elisee have had a relationship for a long time.  Both deGiotto and Elise are very experienced and capable in shibari rigging.  They both did an excellent job, showing off and having lots of fun!

DeGiotto owns a company that sells shibari rope and other accessories.  He manufactures rope in different colors and made from different fibers..  Check it out.
