Bob Carlos Clarke: Peep Show London, 30 March -14 May
The Little Black Gallery, in association with the Bob Carlos Clarke Foundation, announces Peep Show, the third part of a retrospective of work by the legendary photographer Bob Carlos Clarke.
The first two parts ‘Wall To Wall’ in 2009, and ‘Full Throttle’ in 2010 both caused much controversy. The exhibition will show a selection of images from Bob’s 30 year career. And following the successful release of the first series of estate editions in 2010, the Estate of Bob Carlos Clarke is releasing a second series of nine prints of some of Bob’s most famous images as 16” x 20” digital bromide prints in edition of 25, for £350 + VAT, including ‘Faithful Unto Death’, ‘Masked Blonde’ and ‘Cry Baby’.
The exhibition coincides with the announcement of the production of a film on Bob Carlos Clarke by directors Bert & Bertie.
The Little Black Gallery, 13a Park Walk, London SW10 0AJ. Tel 020 7349 9332
Bob Carlos Clarke was born in Cork, Ireland in 1950, and came to England in 1964 to study art and design at The West Sussex College of Art where he developed an interest in photography.
He then went on to The London College of Printing, before completing his degree at the Royal College of Art in 1975. Bob worked in almost every sphere of photography, winning numerous awards for his high-profile advertising campaigns, recognition for his photojournalism and portraits of celebrities, and international acclaim from collectors of fine prints. He died in 2006 and is now recognised as one of Britain’s most important and collectable photographers. Bob Carlos Clarke produced six books: The Illustrated Delta of Venus (1979), Obsession (1981), The Dark Summer (1985), White Heat (1990), Shooting Sex (2002), and Love Dolls Never Die (2004). A biography ‘Exposure’ by Simon Garfield was published by Ebury Press in 2009.

Concertina, the Life and Loves of a Dominatrix, by Susan Winemaker
Tessa Ditner reviews one of the few interesting books by a pro dom
Susan Winemaker is a dominatrix. Before that, she worked as a chef. Concertina begins with her suffocating a regular, flicking his nipples with a coin, dreaming of a feta salad. This isn’t an erotic story. In fact I don’t think there was a single erotic passage in the whole book. You follow her as she welcomes clients into her dungeon and dissects their needs, based on how they look, how they act and what they ask for.
There’s nothing more satisfying than the element of surprise, so I was delighted when Susan’s biggest horror wasn’t the canning, piercing or spitting, but the arrival of a handsome masochist. Her affair with the man is beautifully written, showing that even for a trained dominatrix, human psychology can baffle and torture you.
It’s clear that Susan doesn’t experience erotic pleasure from her work. She enjoys exploring human psychology, she appreciates the art of her craft and she also gets a lot of satisfaction from providing a unique sort of release that normal society doesn’t cater to. But for someone who is so busy moulding herself into the appropriate fantasy, the biggest challenge she has to face in writing about her experience is telling her emotional journey.
Concertina does what Rabelais did in the middle ages, in his novels about the giant Gargantua. They both use food and the biological aspects of the human body to make statements about the sameness of human beings. But unlike Rabelais who lived a cloistered life as a married priest and wrote grotesque stories of giants peeing on Paris, Susan is surrounded by human orifices and therefore uses food to elevate herself out of the heaps of bodies. Food becomes the language of emotions just as it did for that rat in the movie Ratatouille. She escapes the tedium of domination by thinking of ‘watermelon with chilled tomato soup’, from conveying her unique eroticism ‘pared the nipple off each tomato and hand-fed it to the mouth of the machine’ and finally attempting to grip onto a new, self-healing place as she escapes to the countryside ‘I was shocked to discover that wild strawberries tasted of – rather, distinctively suggested – Roquefort cheese.’ Food even saves her from the man she loves as she can’t decide if he’s a misunderstood hero or a brute. The day he calls to say he’s just eaten a whole raw chicken cutlet, minus a bite, without realising it was raw, is the day she finds her answer.
There are times when I wished I’d written this book, other times I was relieved never to have become a dominatrix. It’s a stark reminder that domination isn’t just about pretty clothes and Club Pedestal-type submissives who want to massage your feet. There were also moments when you wish Susan wasn’t such a brilliant writer, particularly when she pulls on her rubber gloves. Then you get the grotesque combination of the following: an NHS nurse, Dita von Teese, a clear sandwich bag of money and the smell of entrails.

Revision, DVD from Strictly Miss Brown
March 15, 2011 by webslave · 2 Comments
We open on two intelligent blonde beauties. In bed. Woof. Sorry, we start with a pair of pulchritudinous beauties, both blonde. They giggle. They chat. They undress. Are you listening Mike Leigh? You bearded bore? This is how to start a film. Let’s have something a bit more life affirming, eh? Ahem…
Erik Satie. Dark classical chill from the inventor of ambient. A suitably classy choice to accompany another divine discipline DVD. Amelia (Amelia Jane Rutherford), is a delight, very squirmy in her final caning and most charming waking up with Lava, (Inga Valkyrie), a Swedish Goddess. “These make my bottom so big! I hate it!” opines Amelia, stepping into some white panties, nothing at all like Bridget Jones passion killers. Inga disagrees. So do we. As the morning ritual unfolds, we may meditate on thongs versus knickers or watch the girls bending and stretching as they dress in their adult school girl uniforms.
Miss Jayney (Charlie Sinclair), is the tall, dark housekeeper. Miss Brown is in a Leopard Skin print blouse, her formidable embonpoint tamed by a black bra.
For new readers, the women are beautiful and styled to the max, cute little touches like coloured hair ribbons, fine lingerie, all present and correct, standard issue for a Princesse Media production.
“She’s extra mean at her house. She can be because there’s no teachers watching.”
Supervised revision. On a Saturday. Ooo-er. The beautiful minxes are right to be afraid.
Excellent mobile camera work throughout. Acting flawless so no ‘wish they hadn’t said or done that’ moments so familiar from lesser productions. It doesn’t take long for Miss Brown to find fault with the girls and we are soon where we need to be, staring at flawless bare bottoms and clefts, watching as the Mistress of Mean dishes out three long, slow corrections.
Twelve for the Housekeeper was the climax, although I’d had several by now, (“Oi! Ramsden! Too much Information!”) well, I did stretch out the viewing over several days. Missus Lovett and I had an assisted shag twice to the canings, a virtual fivesome, if you will. So, you don’t have to gulp it down in one, if I may say so, Like a fine brandy, one doesn’t neck the whole bottle in one go. Although, as the Housekeeper leaps up and grabs her withered cheeks with every stroke one might also say,”Cheers! Mine’s a double.” Her sincere, “please Miss Brown, no more!” ticks all the right boxes. Woo hoo. I should say so.
Any bad girl who may have, er, inadvertently transgressed, through youthful inexperience, should however report to Miss Brown, whose world renowned left hand could give her a jolly, good spanking, a taste of the tawse and twelve stingy cane strokes. In between each, we must hear the traditional count and “Thank you, Miss Brown.” Yes indeed, thank You! Miss Brown and everyone else involved in another peachy production.
