The Spanish Foyer

When I began organizing my collection of John Willie LA bondage photos 20 years ago I sorted them first by location, what I thought of as the three houses. Then by model, and finally by groups of poses by a model. J B Rund kindly shared scans of his collection of Willie’s flyers which helped to further organize photos by Willie’s set numbers. Pat is the only model to have been photographed in all three houses. The Pat and June set that I’ve posted is in the first house. The photographs of Pat bound to 2×4 framing were shot in the second house. I called the third house the Spanish Foyer. This was not a Willie residence and is, I believe, the interior of a house in LA with a Spider-Pool-like setting where a separate group of Pat fully nude and bound photos were shot. Those outdoor photos are rare. What I have are photos of Pat shot inside, in the Spanish Foyer.

The Spanish Foyer bondage photos have 3 settings: the narrow turned columns setting, the floor setting with a white on a dark rug, and the floor setting with a medium tone piece of fabric on the floor. The narrow turned column setting is where Willie bound Pat in a variety of poses to the columns. The white and dark rug setting has Pat bound tightly with tape, arms to her sides. The setting with the medium tone piece of fabric has Pat on the floor bound with tape with her arms behind her back.

The photographs were shot in 1960. The Spanish Foyer tape bondage photos were part of Willie’s sets 3 and 4 of Pat photographs in Willie’s flyers. The 12 column bondage photographs made up set 7. Sets 3, 4, and 7 bracket the photos of Pat taken in the second house (e.g., the photos of Pat bound to 2×4 framing were part of set 5). I am posting images from two 4-up 8×10 prints I have. The first 4-up has 4 photographs of Pat bound to the columns in the Spanish Foyer. The second 4-up has 4 photographs of Pat bound by tape on the floor on the white and black rug. I have 2 other 4-up 8×10 prints with a mix of photos with Pat bound to columns and Pat bound by tape on the floor on the medium tone fabric. I am also posting one of the tape bound on the fabric photos of Pat. The last photograph here is of Pat bound with rope on the white and black rug.

Achilles Shoes

Achilles shoes from Gay Book

“Although the ladies’ oxford outlined at the top of the page possesses the highest heel in the world–it measures 8 inches–this number really serves a purpose; at least it can be worn, by taking careful steps and practicing faithfully. Besides there are some women who get a great thrill out of high heels–the higher the heel the greater the thrill–and that would seem to make this Achilles Boots product from Australia the high-heel thrill of the year. It’s the next thing to stilts.” From Gay Book magazine, July 1943. John Willie operated as Achilles before moving to the United States after the war.
