When you think of elegance, does an image of Audrey Hepburn in her black Breakfast At Tiffany's costume come to mind? If so, then the images of these chicks being bound and tortured at Restrained Elegance would be far from what you had in mind. Nevertheless, with its simple, but effective and constructive design, this site and the content contained within it are nothing short of graceful.
In the scene I checked out, a naked, blonde bombshell sits in the midst of a spherical cage. Both underneath and above the enclosure, there are numerous candles waiting to be lit by her Master. He blindfolds her, lights the candles and expects her to feed him dessert before she'll get away from the hot, red wax. Scenarios like this are standard at RestrainedElegance.
Currently, there are 58 scenes available for members. Once you signup, you can download each one in your choice of good-quality Windows Media and RealPlayer formats. Sound good? I thought you'd like it, but perhaps you think the amount of content could be improved. I'd agree and it seems like new videos are added twice per month on this site. Keep in mind that they are added as parts, so there is more stuff to download than the number would indicate.
In addition to the movies, your membership comes with approximately 348 sets of pictures. The quality here is crisp and clear, but it isn't necessarily consistent. Within one set, I saw images that varied from high-res to super high-res quality. I'm not sure what that's about, but I hope that they rectify the situation soon. You can also download your favorite sets in a Zip file if you desire.
Galleries here, like the movies, are filled with glamorous shots of chicks all tied up. Okay, in one set, the model is only handcuffed, but she is naked. Moreover, she moves around, so you get a variety of interesting images to bring to your mind now and in the future. Updates are much more frequent in this section than they are for the movies.
For the most part, I liked the design of this site. However, the homepage seems to have a little too much text for my taste. The writing showcases the changes that they've made to the site and highlight the new videos and galleries that they add.
Even though the masochistic chicks have an elegant way of carrying themselves, even under the pressure of pain, they are only literally restrained in various contraptions. At Restrained Elegance, they don't demonstrate any figurative restraint as these enslaved chicks appear comfortable, no matter how naked they are. The content is good, but we'd like to see the video section grow a little more.

I've been a longtime member of various bondage sites over the years and a few years ago I was a member of restrainedelegance.com - back then the website was a pretty decent website featuring a variety of girls in bound situations, quite light bondage mind, but it was still well executed. I signed up a couple of months ago again to see if I was missing anything, I'm afraid to say it's all gone a bit downhill. The videos although have improved in quality compression wise, the actual content is tried, tested and completely worn out. The other big turn off for all bondage fans it the main webmaster seems to use restrainedelegance as a virtual diary, where he and his partner, bondage model Ariel seem to make update after update with very strange situations. Most recently, and probably the reason I won't join again is an update where Ariel performs a dance for about 40 seconds, the video then follows a long story about how it was all put together. It was just bad, not sexy and certainly not much to do with strict or restrained bondage. What used to be full of pretty sexy models bound and elegantly tied up has turned into a strange video and photo blog for Ariel and webmaster to display their weird, perhaps pseudo relationship to one another. The back content is there yes but it would be nice to log onto a joined site and have new fresh ideas and models bound and enjoying themselves!
Overall a good site, a lot of variety (within the theme of the site). Two problems, first they seem to recycle archive content, which I hate. The updates alternate between good quality, hi-res new shoots and relatively lo-res, presumably archive, material which isn't up to scratch for a modern site. It isn't like they are cheap. Second, in common with other similar sites, some of the photsets are basically the same photo taken 30 times from slightly different angles. Overall, it is still a good site.
