Romantic
Restraint
W/Bob Scott aka Bydarra
As long as man has had something pliable, he's been tying each other
up. Usually,it was a negative way to keep someone under control.
As always happens, someone looked at this negative from a different
direction and turned it into a positive. Perhaps it was someone who
had been tied and liked the feeling. Perhaps it was someone who thought
it would be a good game for their partner. Whoever it was,
we owe them a huge debt of thanks.

many fellow starving artists, Miss Sophie began stripping to finance her
journey toward a BFA in Theatre and Dance at the University of Texas,
which she completed in May of 2007. As fate would have it, her new profession
confirmed her interest and enthusiasm for erotic performance, through
which she has discovered many new and daring recreational pleasures, such
as burlesque performance, aerial dance, and naked skydiving.
Miss Sophie is a member of Brass Ovaries Pole Dancing, where she teaches
beginning and intermediate pole dancing, aerial hoop, and strip tease
and lap dance classes. She has headlined on the pole and aerial hoop at
many of Austin's most entertaining events, including The Extravagasm Fantasy
Ball, KLBJ's PleasureFest, SXSW Music Festival, and The Green Steam Circus,
as well as performing as a featured extra for season 5 of the hit NBC
TV series "Friday Night Lights." Miss Sophie can be seen titillating
audience members on Tuesdays and Fridays at The World Famous Yellow Rose
Cabaret.
