Girls, Guns and Ropes [Hardcover]

Josef Botello (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2006

This title features 190 beautifully raw black and white photos of sexy Texas girls wielding guns and knives and reveling in rope bondage. What started as a few snapshots of girlfriends posing with weapons turned into a full-fledged fetish vixen diorama... This is the world of Josef Botello, where curvaceous raven-haired beauties adorned in lace-top stockings and crisscrossed with loops of bondage rope wield 9mm automatics and wicked-looking hunting knives... A girl sleeps peacefully in a rumpled bed, one hand lovingly placed on the barrel of an SKS assault rifle; another, in high-top boots, sits astride a kitchen counter with an AK-47. Tied and blindfolded, helpless and yet strangely powerful, or in full sex-crazed goddess mode and packing half of the National Armory, these girls have one thing in common -- they are all ready for anything! Botello's fascination with the seductive curves of his ladies and the hard lines of a gun, a rope or a knife is given full expression in this kinky celebration of everything Texan. Guns, babes and restraints are in gloriously raw black and white!

Femme Fatales Vol. 15 No. 3
"Three extremely naughty tastes go great together in this wickedly hot book of erotic photography by Josef Botello. A parade of sizzling dark-haired beauties get their kicks by disrobing, getting all sweaty, tangling themselves up in all manner of knotted leather and rope, and fondling, licking and caressing firearms. Sometimes a gun is just a gun...this isn't one of those times."

5.0 out of 5 stars Tasteful and Erotic, May 4, 2006

By 

Rachel Addams (West Palm Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Girls, Guns and Ropes (Hardcover)

I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up a copy of "Girls, Guns and Ropes". Would it actually be tasteful and erotic, or would it be mindless crotch shots like so many other "artists" work?

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book totally measures up to this girl's standards.

Even though nakedness abounds, Botello keeps it classy with well placed weapons and intense shadows, while still highlighting his models' curves. His dramatic style of lighting adds an ominous yet provocative mood to these black and white pictures.

As the title implies, this book is chock-full of intricate rope bondage; pistols and rifles as well as machetes and meat cleavers. The girls are attractive, with enough variety to please most people; however, brunettes clearly dominate this book.

And the models actually have interesting expressions on their faces instead of the "I'm completely bored" looks that are in some of the other books out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed this seductive book and highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent idea, needed more of a variety of guns, January 9, 2007

By 

Nuckldragger (Streets of San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Girls, Guns and Ropes (Hardcover)

I was eagerly awaiting this arrival from the Super Shipping Saving ordeal (8 days), and the book did not disappoint! I like the sleaziness of the girls, and I believe art can also be designed to cause the onlooker to get aroused. I did go from 0-to-Hardwood in about 3 seconds, but as I leafed through, I realized the same guns were in rotation. I understand it was the author's collection and bound to be limited--but I expect if there is a sequel to up the notch this book has attained that the author will have more funds available to rent some firearms. Perfect-size for throwing in a backpack, and the pictures taken merit a third or fourth glance over. The mood set by the bondage totally augments the sex appeal idea being pitched to the readers/glancers. If there is a follow-up book, I'm definitely going through the Super Shipping Saver ordeal again!

I was a little disapointed, the quality of the photos are great, but small pages and a little hard to see detail.
