Description
The gossip of courtesans was the farthest thing from Katya's mind as she finished her daily inspections and returned to her quarters. Her aide de camp, Captain Chernova, had just informed her that the Empress had decided to hold an impromptu royal soiree later in the evening and she wanted to bathe and make sure her evening dress was in order. Katya would be ditching her very soldierly breeches and boots for something much more elegant, as was typical for these types of balls. She sighed at Anna's impetuosity as she towelled off and began to dress, picking a corset set she knew to be Anna's favorite and then searching through her wardrobe for her best formal uniform. Little did she know that she was being led on.
Katya was no fan of Rasputina. She was power mad and conniving enough to make Talleyrand look like a saint. But even Colonel Denisova had to admit that the crazy nun understood the intricacies of realpolitik better than anyone else in the realm. That did not, however, mean that the head of the Tsarina's household guard wasn't doing her best to keep an eye on the elusive nun. What she did not know was that Rasputina also had an eye on her.
"Lace this up for me, would you, Irina?" Katya said over her shoulder to her aide.
"Of course, colonel," Irina Chernova replied with a smile as Katya leaned over the side of the divan and braced herself. "You always look so good in that corset, Ekatarina Denisova. I'm sure the Empress will enjoy seeing it again," she added with a laugh.
Katya chuckled as she felt Irina's boot press into the small of her back. An instant later she felt like her entire abdomen was being squeezed in a vise as the captain tugged the corset laces taut and then tied them. "I never know whether to cashier you for being insolent of for being a kiss-ass," the colonel gasped as she adjusted to having her waist compressed down to the size of pencil.
"You know I'm both, colonel," Irina said with a smile as she helped Katya to stand and walked her over in front of the divan. Her expression then turned pained as she wrapped an arm around Katya's waist and then reached into her tunic for something.

This is a collaboration with Donna . She came up with the concept for the shoot and did the photography and the post work. I came up with the costume design with her help and wrote the story. Donna has already posted part one at her page and will be posting the third and final part shortly. You can see the first part here:
Part 1 Part 3
The third and final part (at least for now) of the story is now up on Donna's page. Click the thumbnail to see it the other parts!

Thank you very much, Trixie. You know firsthand that we normally pretty much wing things, but we actually put a good deal of work into this one, and I'm really pleased with how the pictures came out, especially after Donna got ahold of them and worked her magic on them. I can't say much for the story, but I feel that way about most of my stories. Donna wants to shoot a second part to this, although with the number of projects we already have on the books and the pace we work at I don't see how we'll ever get around to it. I have an idea of how to use you in our next one if you'd like to be in it, though. We have a really fun idea and Donna and I already have our costumes mostly together.

Internet Rule #63: "For any given character, there is a genderflipped version of him/her." Yes, even Chuck Norris.
Almost as good as Rule 34! (Before you ask, Internet Rule #34: "If you can find it on the internet, there's a porngraphic version of it." I once saw Thomas the Tank Engine slash... and then attempted to Lysol my eyeballs! I forget what rule it is, but there's another one that applies: "What has been seen cannot be unseen!")

EthereaS In reply to LordDarkstarr [2014-04-30 06:19:19 +0000 UTC]
That certainly sounds plausible. In my case I do it for two main reasons. You've probably noticed that virtually all of my pictures and stories have an all-female cast. It's not a man-hating lesbian/feminist thing or anything, it's mainly because I have a limited amount of money to put into SL, so I usually spend it on myself, and every now and then I will trickle a little bit to one of my two alternate avatars/photo mannequins to buy clothes or costumes, etc. It's *much* easier to get good free or inexpensive items for women in SL, since we seem to comprise about 80% of the buying public there, which I guess makes sense since it's basically 3D social media and there's not a lot of war stuff or sports stuff or knuckle dragging in general. Finding good clothes and skins and everything for men used to be dire. It's gotten a lot better, but it's still comparatively terrible. And I already know all the great places to get all the great woman stuff I want/need. I did make a male avi and I had a hilarious evening showing him off to my friends, but he looked pretty horrible, and it was kind of awkward. I have a few guy friends who have posed for me in the past but schedules make it hard to pin them down to shoot, and when Im hanging out with them I'd usually rather be doing other things, and I'm sure they would, too, as shooting these pictures is often boring, and I'm a pretty bishy micro-manager. So it's usually much easier to just Barbie up my alts or get someone like Donna who I spend tons of time with to take pictures with me.
The second reason is pure, unadulterated laziness.
And I don't even want to think about the whole rule 34 thing. I think I'm going to go throw up in my mouth for a bit.

As for the "man-hating dyke" part, I gathered the impression that you weren't that type when you didn't hand my family jewels back to me in a brown paper bag when I first complimented you, for which I'm grateful.
How about this--since I'd like to learn more about SL, and you could probably use a willing victim spare mannequin, why don't we make a deal? Give me a few days' warning to see if I can free up a Saturday or Sunday for you, and we can work out a time and place to meet in SL since I do have an account even though I'm not really using it. I'm fairly patient, so as long as you don't mind giving good detailed directions since I'm a total newb in SL, I'm willing to help out when and where I can (especially since I figure I owe you one anyway). We may have to figure out how to get wardrobe, since I'm on a fixed income (maybe we could cut deals with folks willing to loan us outfits in exchange for advertising or something?) and neither of us has lots of spare cash for virtual goods.
"Bishy micromanager?" Does that mean you're really an androgynous pretty boy from anime? If so, can I introduce you to my brother sometime?
SL sounds like my kind of place, then--I hate sports, I'm not into war (except the kind that H.G. Wells was into--"Little Wars", i.e. wargaming), and as for that "knuckle-dragging" comment... How dare you insult my brother like that? He can't help being a Neanderthal... Come to think of it, Reki's actually proud of being a caveman. If you've ever seen the Geico commercial for History Channel, you'd know why--"These guys [cavemen] even invented inventing!"
(yes, Reki does call himself a caveman--it's a running joke around here, actually. Looonnnnggg story...
You know, I actually had to laugh when I saw that "good skins for guys" bit after you mentioned knuckle-dragging, considering the image that popped into my head...
EthereaS In reply to LordDarkstarr [2014-05-20 05:34:27 +0000 UTC]
I appreciate the offer, but very little of what I do is on any kind of schedule. The magic usually happens for me at random, like 3 AM and I can't sleep and am bored and need something to do. Or Donna just makes me do something. And no, I use "bishy" because I hate the world "bitch" and feel it's entirely over-used these days in popular culture. Sometimes it's still the right word, but I try to cutesy it up some to soften the blow.
And cavemen aren't all bad. I kind of miss men making no pretense about being manly. It makes me think of that Brad Paisley song "I'm Still a Guy," although if you're out there, Brad, I moisturize and my hands can still grip a tackle box.
And I love the caveman emote.

I believe :devEtherieS: and :devdonnaDominetzo: were referring to the Mad Nun of Russia, Georgina Yfemova Rasputina, who was said to have been the lover of Tsarina Alexandra and healer of her hemophiliac daughter, Alekzandra.

EthereaS In reply to LordDarkstarr [2014-04-29 09:00:10 +0000 UTC]
It's not really based on historical events, but everyone recognizes Rasputin as an evil character so that was an easy choice for the villain.

I think the morals of that story are that the Russians are weird and need bigger guns. And he was lucky he had Alexandra to prey upon, Catherine the Great didn't bother searching for endowed guys, she went straight to the horses.

Oh Brava! That was a wonderfully written story. It just flowed so well my mind drifted from this reality to the one of this story. It was a comfortable place that I found at the end, I didn't want to leave. It was as beautiful as the picture that went with it. Having a brush stroke quality of a painter with a portrait that considered each color before application, its shade and how it might mix with the others. Gorgeous is what I call the colonel, with all those wonderful touches that raise a natural beauty to a glamorous one. Love the broach and necklace, the bra, the hose and corset, and the pose was perfect to show a softening from the previous picture of a competent (and sexy looking) soldier.
Great details in the background, love the wall paper, and the elegant ottoman as well as how the colonel's uniform was hung up which gave an instant visual cue that she is off duty, regardless that her attire and the story stated so. The slight bag in the hose, were another excellent touch, not too much, just enough to give it a sense of it being an article of clothing instead of painted onto the person and called hose by default of the lines drawn. Great pattern at the thighs too. Fantastic textures and colors all around.
Oh and the comment on insolence had me laughing out loud (I mean -really- laughing out and loud). That was a very nice touch.
I applaud both of your work on this series, brava, ladies, brava!
