In Punished 6, Lori Waverly starts it off, wearing a diaphanous, somewhat virginal dress that goes below the knee. She comes across a place where bondage equipment is lying about, and fantasizes about being tied up in it.

In the first scene, Lori lies down to examine some bondage gear, along with a small dildo, lying next to a post. Cut to her lying on her back, in only her black string bikinis, wearing a triple-strap crotch harness, her wrists cuffed behind her back. Her neck is fastened to the post by a short rope attached to a leather collar. Nice, pillowy tits, there, Lori. What do you want to bet that dildo got turned on and slid up her pussal cavity before the harness got strapped on? No way she’s getting out of that one.

Back in her dress, with that fantasy over, Lori notices a pair of leather wrist cuffs hanging from an overhead pipe. After a nod to her crotch, she strolls over to reach up and grab it with both hands. Dissolve to her in the cuffs, suspended from the pipe, with her thighs and ankles strapped together. Her toes can ba-a-a-rely touch the ground. A bit into her protestations, crotch rope is thrown in for no extra charge. Again, she's only in her black panties. A bit after that, a slight adjustment suspends her calves off the ground -- kind of a vertical Flying Wallenda.

Recovering from that fantasy, Lori backs up against the post and closes her eyes with a dreamy look on her face. Oh boy, you think, this one’s going to be good. But when the scene fades, that’s it. Done.

Lori looks luscious here. She's one of those women who is prettier than she looks at first glance -- a stealth hottie. She dyed her hair black, which looks really good, too. There’s a running theme in Blakemore’s work, of innocents abducted and abused. Another theme is, innocent on the outside, pervert on the inside. That one’s Lori.

Grade: B

Toni Stern turns up the heat. She has all the goods, except for her unfortunate 1980s hair-do. That was probably the worst decades in history for women’s hair styles. Just watch a “Matlock” re-run if you don't believe me.

She backs into a corner, afraid of someone (us?), wearing a strapless, below-the-knee dress. When she gets Eiffel Towered, guess what's gonna happen to the top of her dress, even with gazongas like that holding it up? It’s gravity vs. dress, and Isaac Newton wins. Out pops a bountiful set of mammaries that she is mortified we can see. Just mortified.

Cut to her in the same position, sans dress. Wowza! If you're not sure what a statuesque body is, look no further. This gal is loaded. And she’s a dancer! Her let-me-out-of-here dance is just fabulous.

Then a crotch rope gets added. What’s this? She’s trying to bite the rope off? How cute! One of the Blakemore Basic Rules (they always have heels on, they are never barefoot) gets violated, but she stays on her toes the whole time, wiggling that luscious shape in ways you might not have thought a woman's body can wiggle.

Brief cut to a suspended vertical spread-eagle, quickly followed by an inverted spread-eagle shown in a video montage from two points of view. I don't know if this was intentional, or a mistake in the production of my copy of the video, but it takes two shots that were great in themselves, lays them on top of each other, and ruins both of them. It’s especially disappointing when the setup shifts to her being upside down and entirely naked.

In the final scene, she’s lying on the floor, gagged, arms pulled upwards, and her ankles fastened to a post. She’s still nude. The camera pans, but avoids her mid-section. Now we're upright again, Eiffel Tower, nude, but not one bush shot. Fade.

Aside from the montage, this episode was way too short. We have a model who is B-U-I-L-T and knows how to move it, but we don't get enough. Oh, well, we got some.

Grade: B

Karen Arthur lies on a bed in a pink baby doll and matching panties, reading HOM bondage magazines. She seems to be wearing the big black wig that Sharon Montgomery wears a lot. Reveling in her femaleness, Karen stretches her right leg upward to give us a really nice, long-lasting crotch shot -- pantied, but we still say thank you..

Picking up the theme of Episode 1, Karen fantasizes about being tied up, based on the pictures she sees in the magazines.

Admiring a model who looks quite like herself (“Private Room” from Strict, Vol. 1, Num. 7), Karen immediately finds herself standing up and wearing only her panties, hands bound in front of her, crotch rope in place, thighs and ankles tied together. A taut noose around her neck keeps her from wiggling around too much. She shortly gets switched to AOH with a crotch rope.

Back to the bed and the nightie, Karen admires a pictorial titled, “In Training”, with Carolyn Clarke (Karen’s other stage name). In only her pink panties and heels, she’s tied AOH with one leg hiked up about that high, too. She bounces around on the one foot that’s on the ground. Relieved from that predicament, her ankles are tied to a post, still AOH, and a thick crotch rope has been added. Finally, she gets put into a vertical FW. Because one leg is on each side of the post, she can't flip herself over.

Back on the bed, Karen gives us another leg-lifting crotch shot. Thank you very much, Karen. She’s looking at a pictorial titled, “The Proof”, with Pamela Trenton. That yanks Karen’s fantasy back to the panties/heels costume, tied to a swivel chair with a crotch rope running straight up to the ceiling. She spends a good bit of time rubbing her nipples against the rope. Why? Because it feels good. Just look at her face.

That goes on for a while, and you start drumming our fingers on the table in front of you, but the wait is worth it. Karen gets tied with her hands behind a post, but a crotch rope is pulling her up and away from the post. One part of her body wants to go this way, the other wants to go that way, and her pussy is paying the price. Real simple, real hot.

Enough fantasizing already! Back on the bed, Karen starts up a ferocious bout of self-pleasuring. Fade.

As much as I get off on Karen, I don't find this episode to be up to her standard. She is still very pretty, but the downside is we don't get good looks at her amazing figure, and she doesn't seem to be in all that much trouble.

Grade: B

Toni Stern paces in a jail cell, her hands cuffed in front of her, wearing a black long-sleeved top and black mini-skirt. She shrinks from the approach of a Tormentor, who releases her and forces her to remove her skirt and unbutton her top. Fastened AOH, a fine bit of dancing follows.

Cut now to three quick bondages, dressed in only her underwear. In the first, Toni is tied to a post, some what like Karen Arthur in the previous episode, with straps holding her fast to the post and a crotch rope pulling in the opposite direction. Next, her bra gets unfastened revealing a marvelous pair of tits. Finally, she gets put in more or less the same position, but from sitting in a chair. In all of this, that crotch rope is causing her quite a bit of discomfort. She is definitely not enjoying any of it.

A Tormentor appears, to stuff a wad of cloth in her mouth, which gets held in place by a leather strap. Her face is tear-streaked. Now for the best bit.

She’s tied standing, arms overhead but apart, ankles free. Her panties fall down as she gyrates, but the kindly Tormentor pulls them back up. Now begins a dance that rivals Sharon Montgomery’s rope ride in P1 for its intense eroticism. Her muscular, filled-out body bucks and writhes, hips rotating, crotch thrusting, legs roiling, for 1:42 of sheer wonder. This is what it's all about, folks.

Back in a chair, ungagged, her legs are fastened high and wide to a spreader bar. Unfortunately, we only see her face and each ankle. The good stuff in the middle is unseen. The look on her face suggests that the stuff in the middle might be getting a reward for her performance, and the pain she put up with. Fade.

This episode, and her dance, is one of the high points in the Punished series. Toni hasn't gotten the recognition she deserves as one of the top HOM models. I hope this appearance changes that.

Grade: A+

Lori Waverly again, this time really stepping out.

Lori explores a basement with a flashlight, and comes across a pallet with a pile of rope lying on a folded canvas. She’s wearing a long-sleeved blouse and a very short black skirt. She starts fantasizing about being tied up with the rope. Lori gets surprised by someone, and finds herself just as she had imagined, lying on the pallet, her arms tied behind her back, and her ankles tied together. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. This position emphasizes her legs, which are quite shapely, and my, are they long.

Next, she sits on boxes, her arms tied overhead, and her ankles tied down to a pallet. A rope around her waist ties off behind her to the pallet, and she isn't going anywhere. Did I mention her blouse got unbuttoned? Nice tits! Halfway through this scene, she gets a crotch rope strapped on.

The scene shifts to Lori standing on the pallet, only in her panties, with a tight crotch rope pulling for all it's worth. A rope around her neck helps keep her balance.

That’s a pretty short scene before we switch to her tied AOH, buck naked, save for her panties, which have slid to mid-thigh and are heading south. Her mouth is gagged with her blouse tied in place by three turns of rope.

She undulates her panties down to the floor, gingerly steps out of them, and begins her nude let-me-go dance. Not as knee-weakening as Toni’s in Episode 4, but we get to appreciate Lori's lovely curves. There is a small irony in this scene, in that a model who will get tied, stripped, whipped, and bare all on camera, has a tan line betraying a modest public one-piece swim suit. I guess it’s one thing to be immodest, and another to be improper.

The final shot shows Lori lying on the pallet, still gagged, still naked, with her knees tied up and widely apart. Lots of potential here, but the camera skips over what we really want to see. Or, the editing skips over it. I'm sure the camera zeroed right in. Only our imagination knows what happened after the filming stopped. Fade.

The Punished series is full of gorgeous models moving in sensual ways that supercharge your fantasies. They're fantasy models because you know you'll never meet a woman like that, and even if you did, she would never let you do this stuff to her. But Lori is different. You know women like her, you've dated them. She's your girlfriend who said "OK" when you suggested bondage, and found out she likes it. That's why everyone loves Lori. Lori is real.

Grade: B

Following the conclusion of Episode 5, there are excerpts from P4 episodes (Blondie, Sharon, Curly).

Punished 6 has a few good DiD moments, but in general, it doesn't generate a lot of GIMPery. If there had been whipping, this one would have been at the top of the heap. Think Harmony, but with discomfort thrown in, and much prettier models. You should nonetheless have it in your collection. An “OK” Blakemore video is still miles above the rest.

Overall grade: B

Pluses: Toni’s dance. Toni’s body. Lori.

Minuses: No whipping. No close-ups of cleaved crotches. Was HOM protecting itself from the censors? The background music -- droning organ, and weird electronic stuff. It's not bad for a little while, but after a point it gets tiresome.
