Darla's Tickling Torture. Dorothy Laine Productions

[Myriads]

Darla’s Tickling Torment is the newest in Dorothy Laine’s small, but growing line of tickling videos. Like all of Dorothy’s productions, all of the technical aspects are top notch. The lighting and sound are great, editing is solid and professional.

In the spirit of the Harmony videos of old, we have a wisp of a plot to justify the tickling action. It seems that Darla and Dorothy are sisters who share an apartment, and Darla has the tendency to hog the bathroom all morning. Since this is fetish-earth the bickering roommates of course work out their issues with bondage and tickling. After all could there be any other way to settle things? 🙂 In my opinion it’s just enough plot to make the video fun with out getting in the way of what we are looking for, tickling action.

Ok, first up this is an upper body video. At no time are Darla’s feet tickled. So if you are looking for foot stuff this video is not for you. All of the tickling is done to Darla’s ribs, pits, stomach and a touch on her neck.

Both Dorothy and Darla are fully nude for the entire tickling portion of the video. They both start in towels as if coming out of the shower but those go away very quickly.

Bondage is minimal, but well executed and done on screen. In the first scene Darla’s hands are tied at the wrists behind her back. In the second and third parts they are tied at the wrists and her arms are raised and tied off above her head. Her legs are never tied during the video. She wears a bondage collar but it’s for appearance not restraint.

In scene one Dorothy tickles Darla while she’s standing and free to move about, eventually forcing her onto the the bed, where she works over her stomach, ribs and pits a bit. Halfway through the scene a ball gag is added. It does little to interfere with Darla’s laughter, though it makes her words blurry. I’m not a gag fan, but I found that in this case it made almost no difference in my enjoyment of things, so it didn’t bug me.

Dorothy uses a light fingertip type of tickling for this entire video. She never really digs in, or goes at things overly hard and heavy. Happily Darla is VERY ticklish and it seems Dorothy’s style is well suited to work on her. Our ‘ler’ is able to keep Darla giggling and wiggling about, which with Darla’s body, is appealing for those of us that like to see a struggling ‘lee’.

The second scene has Darla, arms over head getting worked over more by Dorothy. Again halfway in we have the gag added. Same as in scene one, not an issue. The tickling is steady, and about the same level as part one. The highlight of this segment is that we get to see Darla’s trying to get away as best she can, in the limited range of motion she enjoys. Dorothy chases her about, periodically capturing her firmly and making her laugh and squeal and such. Darla has a cute prancing hop that she falls into when trying to get away. She clearly is ticklish.

The third scene has Darla in the same position as that last one, and the tickling is much the same. But there is a wonderful difference in this go-round. Dorothy employs a lot of teasing and taunting. Causing Darla to flinch and squeal in expectation of what is, and does, come. It’s a nice bit of verbal and physical psych play.

The video ends with Darla tied, and Dorothy promising more.

I enjoyed this video quite a bit. It’s not a relentless or torturous tickling of Darla (The tickling that Dorothy does of Darla at the end of the collection tape she released earlier this year is far more severe.) but it’s a solid piece of work staring one of our communities favorite lees, and will satisfy those who love upper body work and seeing a lee who is free to squirm and wriggle about.

Thx a lot for this review

 

[dtrell]

thanks for the heads up myriads....i wont even bother viewing this on the aebn streaming theater now, let alone purchasing it. to me its an absolute CRIME to have darla crane in a tickling video and not tickle her feet.......jeez.

 

[BigBrownEyes]

Thank you, Myriads, for your honest review of that video. Could you tell us a little more about the earlier video where Dorthy tickles Darla? Does she tickle her feet in that one?

 

[Myriads]

I’ll be happy to review the Darla part of Dorothy’s other video with her in it, I’ll touch on the other parts for fun.

The Video is titled “Tickle Frenzy” and it is broken into three segments.

The first part stars Molly Mathews and Dorothy. Each woman is tickles the other. They start with no bondage and move up to some light ties. Molly is a pretty good lee, and It’s always fun to see Dorothy get tickled.

Part two has Stacy Burke. This segment is very much like the Platinum videos of old. Dorothy and Stacy wrestle about on a bed and slowly strip each other tickling all the way. If you like Stacy’s looks you’ll like the segment, but over all it’s not ground breaking tickling. Weakest of the three.

The part of the tape that is worth the price of admission is the third segment. Darla and Dorothy.

This third starts with Dorothy tied to a lounge-like chair wearing only panties. Her wrists are bound to it’s sides and her ankles are tied off together. She has little range of movement. Darla works her over for the entire segment, doing feet, pits, stomach and sides. At one point she even uses her long hair to tickle Dorothy’s feet.

Dorothy is what I call a ‘capped’ lee. She’s clearly ticklish, and Darla is a very good ler, but Dorothy always stays inside a set range, not able to resist laughing and squealing, but neither getting overly frantic. This scene, however, is one of the best ticklings of Dorothy that has been filmed at this point to my knowledge. So if you like her, you’ll like this.

We then cut to Darla. She is in a solid hog tie. She’s wearing panties and something that looks like a sports bra only it’s transparent black. It’s a very good bondage and she really can’t do much to get away or prevent being tickled.

What follows, in my opinion, is the BEST tickling of Darla that has been filmed. Even better then TK-8, this is thanks to Dorothy’s skill as a tickler. In the segment she works over Darla’s stomach, pits, neck, ass, hips, legs, and yes, feet. She is very aggressive, and doesn’t provide breaks or much in the way of kindness to Darla, who spends her time laughing, writing, and giggling away. An amusing part of the shoot is due to Darla’s rolling about, the sports bra-thing is unable to contain her wealth of assets, and slowly slides down her shoulders, leaving her fully topless after a bit.
When Darla manages to roll over, Dorothy just moves on to newly exposed areas. Darla’s feet get taken care of near the end. Dorothy holds the hog tie rope to control them and works at them, and takes time to get her fingers in between Darla’s toes producing a very nice result.

Hope that this help 🙂

you have to be right about TK-8 myriads, only because ashley renee, aside from being overused in the history of tickling videos, is one of the worst female ticklers ive ever seen videos. she only does 3 second at best cutesy ticklings, all the while making stupid noises. i have had tk-8 since it was out, and if she tickles her for over 3 seconds at a time at any point in the video, in the same spot, itll be a surprise to me...usually in it she does it for a second or two, darla screams, then she stops....terrible....so dorothy has to do a better job on her....now that video may be one ill stream off of AEBN, and fast forward to the darla segment.

 

[1golfer]

sorry guys...

Darla wasn't, isn't and never will be ticklish. She's faking. Same with Dorothy.

 

[Myriads]

And you know this how? You met them? Played with them at bondage conventions? Or is it just by unfailing skills of observation? Just curious as how you 'know'.

Myriads

 

[1golfer]

the latter....

you're correct about my observational powers...sometimes it's a gift and other times it's a curse...but I can always tell the fakers from those who don't. By the way...tell me more about these bondage conventions.

 

[Myriads]

The Bondage and D/s communities often have gathering like our own, but as they are larger fetishes, such meets are larger, and national level models often are guests. Just as one can find out about NESTS and such by being part of the tickling community you find out about such as parts of the other communities.

BTW: Both Darla and Dorothy are ticklish. Darla moreso then Dorothy, but Dorothy is also. What one assumes when watching a video is often very wrong. In many cases there is no effective way to tell from mere film. Both of these women have played with people that I'm friends with, and believe, and in both cases ticking was explored by said friends.

Don't bet money on being able to tell the fakers from the ticklish. It's a game where you will loose more often then not. Unless you have a reliable first person account, it's not something that one can make a realistic call upon.

Myriads

 

[1golfer]

sorry....

I CAN tell...they are not.

 

[dtrell]

sorry golfer....i have to agree with myriads on this one...i think from what ive seen that darla is ticklish, she just doesnt get tickled right in videos...i mean when youre getting tickled by eric holman, kristine imboch, and that black dude from her tickle hell video, how the hell much can you laugh? i would KILL to have her go back to work at the DOMINION, id take the next flight out to LA to tickle her.

 

[1golfer]

I understand...

that wanting something to be real sometimes makes it real in one's mind. There are many people at this club that believe people like Ashley Renee and Michelle Bauer are ticklish, when clearly, they are not. Same goes for Darla and Dorothy. Both are very pretty with great laughs, but they simply aren't ticklish, something that can be said about most models that contract with the various companies. Compare the non-ticklish such as Dorothy and Darla with truly ticklish models like Angella Faith and Darby Daniels and it's really easy to see. Hwever, I do notwant to stand in the way of anyone's fantasy...so, I guess it's all good.

 

[Myriads]

Note, I'm not arguing that there is not faking in some videos, and by some models. You simply have chosen two that I have personal facts and knowledge about, regarding ticklishness. Had you picked almost any other two I'd have said nothing, for I'd have no real knowledge either way.

I'll agree that many people do indeed ascribe ticklishness to non ticklish models based on their inner hopes and fantasy. Nothing wrong with that, as erotic material is at it's most basic, a tool to aid in ones own imagination on the path to arousal. Sexuality will always end in the minds eye, and things like vids and static images are just tools to work there with greater ease. Start points, so to speak. So such dreams are a basic part of the community we are in. It's natural to want the world to conform to ones sexual desires, and people do pull the wool over their own eyes to achieve this.

It's wish fulfillment on a basic level.

I also believe you are not out to destroy anyone's fantasy. That is clearly not your goal. But if it's not to break down another's view, what's the import to you? I think we are left with the building up of one of your own.

You have ascribed non-ticklishness to two models, and now doggedly stick by that judgment regardless of what anyone can present or say. It's so because you've declared it. Period. No first hand experience, no first person discussion. Just observation of some tape.

They are not ticklish, because, based on your skill and experience as a ler, you say so. Nothing more.

I say they are based upon:

People I know (who's veracity I trust) have played with both these women, and can attest to their real ticklishness. There are people on forum who have sessions with one of them in a dungeon, and was most clearly pleased with the real level of ticklish response. I and other people here have talked with those that have tickled them in videos, in the context of friendship, not commerce, and they have verified the ticklishness is real?

To you do any of those facts matter? Clearly no. They are not ticklish because you have decreed it. End of story.

It sounds like a fantasy to me. Building something in ones mind to hold, even in light of evidence to the contrary.

The claimed ability to 'know' is a common skill that I've seen so many times in this fetish. It has a vanilla world mirror in men who can always 'tell' when a woman orgasms, and those folks are as right as often as the 'knowers' in ours. It’s practitioners (in both our community and the vanilla example I site) seem to find a form of self pride/value in this skill to 'pick out the fakes'.

From the ones I've spoken in depth with, it seems to be some self indicator of skill level to them. A way to feel experienced in the arena. All in all pretty harmless, unless one is unable to step back from it when faced with information that points other ways, and know when their fantasy has washed up on the rocks of a reality.

Sexuality is about fantasy, and that you can 'know' a woman is non-ticklish by video observation is clearly a central part of yours. To each their own, and I have no desire to stand in the way of YOUR fantasy. But if you present your fantasy as fact, sometimes folks with real knowledge might stand up and point out the dissonance.

And to condense my points should you choose to continue the discussion: You can’t know anything real about a persons real physical responses to stimuli without having a hands on experience, or a first person account that arrives from a source you trust. All else is supposition, it may well be very good supposition, but it’s not knowing. And in this case your fantasies (about a self-held skill) have usurped your view on a reality.

[1golfer]

Your penchant for drawing inaccurrate conclusions from my posts not withstanding, my point was simple: I've seen the aforementioned ladies in many tapes. They are not ticklish. The people who have first-hand accounts were either fooled or wanted them to be ticklish--so they were. As I said, sometimes it's a blessing, other times it's a curse...but I know what I know. I'm not looking to knock down your argument or gather support for my argument. I was simply responding to your original post.

 

[Myriads]

Just trying to understand your point of view. I do so by asking questions, possible views, and offering points for reply, so your side can be seen and discussed.

So I'm clear, is this what You are saying?

Darla and Dorothy have fooled all the people who have tickled them in person, for play, and work over the years. People with years of scene experience in D/s play including tickling.

They have not fooled you after your viewing of them in videos, with no first person experience, or having ever met them, or any one who has touched them.

Is that your view and point?

And if that is your view, this set of questions is what I'm basically trying to understand about your point of view.

Why is it that your detached 2nd person view is the one that would hold over skilled, experienced people who were on scene with the women in question? Why is it that they must have been fooled, and not perhaps your opinion was in error?

Myriads

 

[dorothy]

If you can't tell I'm ticklish....

I've NEVER been accused of not being ticklish! Wow.

Obviously, you have some wires crossed here, 'cause besides Amber Michaels, I'm about as ticklish as they come.

BTW - having actually tickled Darla and others (and knowing Ashley), they ARE ticklish. Don't know what strange test you're using to determine our ticklishness through a TV screen or monitor, but I'd get it adjusted if I were you -- you're WAY off base here.

Good thing Tim doesn't read this forum. 🙂

 

[Haltickling]

Some people use their own expectations of how a ticklish person has to react as a general measuring stick for ticklishness. If somebody reacts differently, she must be faking it. I pity such egocentric persons, they are masters of ruining their own fun. But I wish they would cease to ruin other (more broadminded and more experienced) people's fun! 🙄

 

[venray]

They do not ruin other people's fun Hal, as no one takes them seriously after they continously point out "facts" that make no sense to any reasonably intelligent person...🙄

Ashley Renee

I have tied and tickled many women, some of whom were very ticklish, and others who weren't ticklish at all. I am not implying that I'm am smarter than everyone else. What I am saying is that in my experiences, I have acquired the ability to 99% figure out when people are faking it. When you are paying models cash, you either learn this skill quickly, or you waste alot of money. Read further before you doubt my ability to spot a faker.
I just recently watched an old video I have that featured Ashley Renee. It was called "Horror of Laughter", and it co-starred Jacklyn Lick. The tickler was a guy named Luckii Charms, but the less we say about him the better.
Let me get to the point. Ashley Renee falls into the category of a ticklish woman who hams it up. In this video, there are parts where she is definitely "hamming it up". The reason I say "hamming it up" and not "faking" is because in the early days of fetish vids, we didn't have the astuteness that we have now. It wasn't really considered a sin for these girls to ham it up. People were just happy to get anything related to tickling that they could find. And the producers wanted them to appear to be good. The old school videos were very theme oriented, part of those themes being that the woman is very terrified and ticklish.
Furthermore, there are parts in "Horror..." where she shows genuine ticklish reactions, particularly when her armpit region was properly probed.
I can tell this from the way her body jerks. Although Ashley may not be as ticklish as she appears, or to the opinion of some, unappears, she has some genuine ticklish spots.
When Ashley is faking it, she laughs, squirms, and begs. But when she's not faking it, her reaction is different. It is more of a reflex reaction.
When a woman is having a genuine ticklish reaction, she will jerk in a spasmatic response. There is no coherent speech.
"Please stop tickling me" is the statement of a faker.
"Oh my God" is usually said during a true reaction.
I have seen Ashley do both.
I have always loved Ashley Renee, but I will readily admit that her tickling vids don't stand up to the products of today.
But in the same measure, she is a ticklish woman. Maybe not the "Perfect Ticklish Woman" as one of her vid titles implies, but she is ticklish.
As far as other elements of non-tickling bondage go, Ashley is a bondage Supermodel and can still stand up with the best of them. She is the bondage equivelent of a Cheryl Tiegs or a Lauren Hutton.
There were videos that I bought in the old days where I thought "Man, that girl is ticklish". When I break out these same videos in the present, in other words, after I have now personally shot dozens of videos myself, I realize that I had been duped in my inexperienced younger days. I am now able to spot that women that I thought were super ticklish weren't even remotely ticklish.
But I would not put Ashley into this non-ticklish category. She does have some ticklish spots. She also remains a stunning beauty.

 

[1golfer]

I'll try to make it simple.....

actors act.


Opps sorry Myriads...forgot to respond to your question sets:

to the first set...yes

to the second...i don't know, but feel free to provide more armchair psychoanalysis.

also...didn't see dorothy's post. don't mean to rattle anyone...just talking about what I see. I do think you're one of the most beautiful models I've seen gracing this fetish....and yes...Amber Michaels is ticklish!

 

[Iggy pop]

Golfer, I know you think you have the "gift" and the "curse", but so do many others and they can't agree. Unless it is blatanly obvious, it is extremely hard to tell who is faking across a television or computer screen, so I tend to dismiss anyone who says they can unless they can direct me to some specific evidence. I'll make up my own mind. On another note I have not see any on these models work.

 

[MrTicklefeet]

Poor Golfer. Why urge him on?
I love both of these models. I use to get an FM video just because Darla Crane was in it, tho I found her much more attractive in the old days before the fake tanning booth look.
The tickling in the earlier FM videos were music to my ears. One had an unruly foot slave turn on her, tie her up and mercilessly tickle her feet for quite a long time. Oh the laughing, the thrashing, the attempts at negotiating at getting the slave to stop. Sure got me squirming in my chair. To say she's faking it strikes me as absurd. I agree about the new Dorothy/Darla vid, that tickling Darla without tickling her feet would be a crime. Maybe after the above experience, she requests the producers not to. Hehehehe. But God I still love her wrinkly soles. To smooch and worship her feet would be heaven
I agree that Tickle Frenzy has the best sequence of Dorothy being tickled to date. In the earlier FM vids, she'd just come out with one long EEEEE. Now she seems much more relaxed about being tickled in front of the camera, and lets that delightful cackle of hers just flow. In the early FM days, I'd always get an FM vid of Dorothy showing off her feet. But after Tickle Frenzy,she's moved up my list of tickle models.
Kristine Imboch was another favorite model, either as the lee or the ler, didn't matter to me. Either way, she always looked like she was having great fun at what she was doing. I know she's changed her name, and has her own website, but it seems to be strickly bondage there.
Dorothy, Kristine, and Darla are my favorite top three. To get all three in one video. Yikes. I could die a happy man, feeling my life was complete.
