Best Cleavage Contest - Winners!

MistressNeta - Photo 1
(photographer: Jack Payne)


MistressNeta and I had an awful lot of fun with the Best Cleavage Contest, thank you again so much to everyone who submitted photos and who took the trouble to vote!

You can read about the background to the contest, and see all the photos on the Best Cleavage Contest post.

This was a different style of contest to my usual ones, where subs submit photos on a theme, and are judged by a team of female dominants. This time we tried the reverse, with MistressNeta and myself inviting "readers to take part in a very special, totally tasteless vaguely Femdom themed contest to welcome in 2010", with kinksters of all genders and orientations submitting photos to be judged by (mostly cyber) friends and acquaintances, most known to contest entrants via Fetlife (if contest entrants and voters have a Fetlife page I've linked to it below).

And what wonderful images we received.

On the other hand, you would be amazed by how many friends refused to enter the contest. Interestingly, many said they would enter a contest to show off their legs, their corsets ... but breasts? No, that was just TOO tasteless. So our sincere thanks to everyone who entered photos and took our contest in the slightly tasteless but seriously fun spirit we desired.

HOW WE JUDGED THE CONTEST

The major organizing cock up was that I made the mistake of setting the closing date of the contest and the closing date for submitting photos on the same date. Not very bright of me. In retrospect this meant that although friends who submitted photos late in the contest - amongst them, MissLis, sugarfiend, desertstorm, Mistress Linguinie and SilkDreamz - drew steady votes / comments from the moment their photos appeared in the contest, in terms of a vote count they had no chance to compete with images that had already been drawing votes for several weeks.

My apologies to those friends. What I'll do next time is close the submission date BEFORE voting starts.

What I've done to compensate is to take into consideration not only the actual votes (out of 10) that each voter submitted, but also their comments about the images. This has allowed us to create some terrific award categories that complement the whimsical nature of the contest.

Enjoy the results!


BEST CROSS DRESSER CLEAVAGE

We had some terrific entries from glamorous boys, with both SilkDreamz's photo by Mistress Linguinie:


And desertstorm's photo below attracting lots of interest and votes.


"I especially like desertstorm's position in this photo, delicately cupping his breasts", mused one voter, while tiger loved "desertstorm's confidence in wearing scarlet ... such a tart!" as well as SilkDreamz's "whore of a pink cami ... with frills, no less!".

While sol won this category with the photo of his first bra below I sincerely believe that the result may have been different if the other cross dressing photos (which were received up to the last week of the contest) had received similar voting time online.


SERIOUSLY SEXY SCHOOL GIRL CLEAVAGE

There was no doubt who was winning this category. Here's kitty4chains!:


"Aren't i a pretty school gurl" wrote Kitty, and voters agreed - her schoolgirl cleavage proved very popular, with scores going up to 9 out of 10.

BEST "UNZIP UNLACE UNLEASH" CLEAVAGE

The fact that several of the photos submitted revealed tightly bound breasts presented within shiny PVC did not go unnoticed by voters.

First they considered MistressNeta's Photo 2, photographed by Jack Payne:


MistressNeta wrote about the photo: "I purchased the Matrice Coat from ExoticFootwear now known as Tabu4u. My generous cleavage and my favourite Red Riding Crop are proudly displayed".

Indeed. clayman's view that "breasts yearning to be released creating a beautiful cleavage" was echoed by other voters.

Then voters considered Mistress160's Photo 2, taken by solipsist:


Ms160 had noted the photo showed "a Warners bra worn with a shiny lace up PVC jacket resulted in a lovely cleavage shot".

"I like the double lacing effect here", noted tiger, "from both the bra and the top". "Time to be unlaced?" mused clayman, while steve found "Ms160's cleavage curves perfect just perfect".

Then voters saw Mistress Linguinie photographed by SilkDreamz:


"oh oh oh", whimpered tiger, "not only breasts but shiny knickers, too ... must win a fetish outfit for cleavage award". And other voters agreed!

BEST LUSCIOUS LICKABLE CLEAVAGE AWARD

Any contest entrant who's breasts inspired voters to use words like "luscious", "edible", "lickable" etc was able to enter this award category.

MissLis' photo below was one of the voters' favorites in the contest:


Voters found her breasts divine ... clayman (who gave this photo a score of 9 out of 10) sums voters' opinions up best: "Kissable, huggable, squeezeable, nibbles perhaps?"

However the winner of this category must be sugarfiend:


This photo by Gemini had voters drooling and scoring 8's and 9's out of 10 for "nubile lusciousness" and "lickability". "Sugar sugar ... honey honey ... you are my candy girl" sang tiger, "sugarfiend sure lives up to her name!"

BEST CLEAVAGE - THIRD PLACE

Third place in the votes went to the lovely Miss Voluptrixx:


This photograph was taken by xavier, with the following comment by Miss Voluptrixx: "the worthy worship at this altar" .

Voters agreed, many accompanying their voting comments with either deep sighs or whimpers. "Nestling in such a warm, comforting, loving cleavage would be blissful", sighs clayman, while for tooservu "those closed eyes, and cupped breasts look just divine...".

BEST CLEAVAGE - SECOND PLACE

Ms160 entered two photos, and both scored well, but the favorite amongst voters was this:


Mistress160's Photo 1 was the only photo in the contest to score a perfect 10, by several voters.

Taken by solipsist, the photo was accompanied with the following comment from Ms160: "this leather corset was purchased at Marquis De Sade in Melbourne, and first worn to Hellfire Resurrection during Kinkfest 2009. I was certainly impressed when I saw this photo!"

So were the voters. "Without a doubt, the most awesome picture (and cleavage)", wrote Gwalton. Tiger also gave the photo another 10: "I love the tension of the garment (both the softest leather and tautly boned) with the softness of the breasts ... look how the soft soft skin of one breast is slightly pressed in, against the equally taut leather ribbons. It makes me quite faint to observe". The photo inspired "powerful visions" for gicball, while clayman dreamed of 'Classic curves ... beautifully framed".

BEST CLEAVAGE - WINNER

It's MistressNeta!


Listed in the contest as MistressNeta's Photo 1, this photo was taken by Jack Payne, with MistressNeta's accompanying comment: "A more subtle cleavage cinched and captivated by sensual wear".

Subtle and sensual indeed. clayman saw in the image "full cupped curves awaiting a caress" while for gicball (who scored the photo 9.5) "powerful visions evoked from this ... shows [MistressNeta's] strength". tooservu found he "just [loved] the outfit, so alluring, and classical". Many voters found themselves "speechless with awe" (as did steve).

Congratulations to MistressNeta and all our other award winners!


THANK YOU
to everyone who took part,
both contest entrants and voters!

The Xmas Present in bondage....


While we are both home sick with chest infections, sol decides to amuse himself with a little bondage...

He needed a demo bottom. So he borrowed the Xmas Present. I took these photos from the nearby hammock, in between falling about laughing, and then coughing my heart out.

Here the XP gives me a look ("do I really HAVE to do this .... sigh!"):


Sol bribed her with a tennis ball, while he began to tie the rope:


But after a few more ties the poor XP couldn't reach the ball:


She did look pretty:

End result? Suspended bondage puppy!


She forgave sol with a lick when he untied her:

Kinky camping on Moreton Island

Camp Pervert at dusk


A few years back, while sol and I were still suburbia bound (before we became eco kinksters), I used to spend hours checking out the 4WD BDSM Getaway website ... dreaming of escape.


4WD BDSM Getaway! is the brilliant idea of NotExcessive, who writes on the website:
"I thought it would be a good idea to combine two of my "interests": BDSM and four-wheel driving. I've been to many play parties over the years, but they were all in an urban setting. To my knowledge nobody had ever done an outdoors trip of this type before, so I figured, why not? "So in November of 2002, I put together the concept of the 4WD BDSM Getaway! Weekend tours.

"The first trek was held in February of 2003. The idea behind this is that we gather kinksters together who are into 4-wheel driving, and go somewhere to play in the Great Australian Outdoors. Needless to say, the 4WD BDSM Getaway! Weekend tours aren't going to appeal to everybody, and nor are they meant to. You'll need a love of Australia's stunning natural beauty to go on one of these treks, because there will be no motels or swimming pools. The most urbanised you'll get will be the occasional cabin or bed & breakfast, and we do conduct those sorts of trips, so city slickers, don't give up hope.


"The 4WD BDSM Getaway! Weekends aren't just about play, however. You bond with others in the group (pardon the pun) on many levels. Sure, there's the BDSM element that we have in common, but you also form friendships. Being away out in the bush with a small group of people, you get to know them a little bit better than you would in the crowded environment of a suburban play party, especially if you're together for a couple of days rather than just for a few hours".

This all sounded wonderful to me. Their trip reports sounded a lot of fun, and I greatly admired NotExcessive's photography, which really brought his trip reports alive for online readers.

But unfortunately we found the group just before we moved to northern NSW, and as most of their trips at the time appeared further south it made things a bit tricky. "Still", I said to sol, "if they ever schedule another trip to Moreton Island we are definitely going".

They did.

We went.

It was wet and wild and windy ... and utterly, utterly magical.

For those of you reading this who don't know Australian geography, Moreton Island, says Wiki:
"is a large sand island on the eastern side of Moreton Bay, on the coast of south-east Queensland, Australia. Moreton Island lies 58 kilometres northeast of the Queensland capital, Brisbane. The island covers an area of approximately 170 square km, and extends for 38 km from north to south. At its widest it is 8 km across.

"Established in 1966, 98% of the island is contained within the Moreton Island National Park, which has a World Conservation Union (IUCN) category of II. The park is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. Camping and four wheel driving is permitted and possible in many parts, with the appropriate fee. Motor vehicle access is by ferry, but is for four wheel drive vehicles only, as there are no sealed roads on the island. Camping is permitted, however permits must be obtained on the mainland"

With development restricted to just three small villages and a single resort (Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort) the island is a natural playground of crystal-clear creeks and lagoons, tall sand dunes, abundant wildflowers and miles of pristine beaches.

You can read about earlier 4WD BDSM Getaway! trips to Moreton Island here and here. I recommend checking those links out for the photos alone. But if you take the time to read the text you'll see why we wanted to attend ... these people knew how to have FUN. And we certainly enjoyed ourselves, despite the weather. Just before we left we checked BOM's website ... it read:
IDQ10095
Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology
Queensland

Brisbane Forecast
Issued at 4:50 am EST on Sunday 28 February 2010

Warning Summary
Tsunami warning for the marine environment for QUEENSLAND.

Threatened areas extend from Point Danger to St Lawrence, including
Moreton Bay and Hervey Bay
Tsunami???!!!

It was certainly very wet, but thanks to our friends we remained warm and dry and had a really great time. An especially huge thank you to latex lemming, who provided not only transport and accommodation but shared everything from wet weather garments to his cooking equipment. We simply could not have gone without his wonderful help.

Here are some photos:

The first thing we saw when we arrived at the barge departure point was this sign:


"stay and play", indeed *grin*.

Once on the island, the plan was to drive to the far side of the island where previous trips had camped. When we arrived at the other side this is what greeted us:


Seriously wild and wet!

We drove several kilometers down the beach. The former camp site turned out to be the only place with other campers (which proves it was a good site) so we drove a little further and found a great spot where trees provided extra protection. This is how close our tent was to the sea:


Driving around the island each day was always an amazing experience, with so much to see. Below you can see the Tangalooma Wrecks:


Fifteen vessels have been deliberately sunk on the landward side of Moreton Island to form a break wall for small boats and a wreck dive and snorkel site. The wrecks attract an amazing amount of marine life ... and now tourists checking out the marine life! The bird life on the island is also impressive:



I also loved the crabs at the mud flats:



We visited Rous Battery, part of old military fortifications from World War II:


And more wrecks (these hulks are the remains of the 315-ton Fairlight and the 98-ton Normanby beached there in 1930s):



(to see a photo of the wreck with the tide out further have a look here).

There were picnics:


Great walks:


Amazing photo opportunities:


Time in the hammock:

And of course on our last night a magical fire:

We look forward very much to returning to Moreton Island with the group next year, as well as attending future 4WD BDSM Getaway! trips.
