Somehow it seemed like a good idea to handcuff my wrists to my bed, use legirons to connect my ankles to the same side, and put the key in front of me. It looks impossible, because when I bend over I can still not pick up the key with my teeth. Picking up the key with my toes is also impossible, because of the leg irons. Can you guess how I escaped? I’m quite resourceful, remember? ;-) This is a fun escape for everyone to try at home! But remember to have someone with you, because if you drop the key, you will be in big trouble!!
Here is a preview (not HD quality) of the challenging bit:

A new item in my collection, these lovely Hiatt’s handcuffs! They are from 1960, or maybe the model is called 1960, I don’t know. I will have to look it up! The key is very strange, but that’s good, because I have too many cuffs which open with the universal key (that’s not good for escape challenges, different keys are much more fun!). I made a video and some pictures to show you my new cuffs. As it happens I found an article about handcuffs, which I will read while cuffed in these new restraints.
Remember our big race? Anahí lost and had to pay for drinks! But now she wants a rematch, because she thinks I’m not being fair. She says I have more experience. Well… let’s do it! This time, Anahí will escape from one pair of hinged cuffs, and I have to get out of one hinged and one chain pair. We handcuff each other, and I secretly made sure the keyholes were facing away from Anahí’s hands (LOL). Luckily she doesn’t know about this trick, so she put mine on the right way. Let’s see who wins this time!
Me and Leley went to the beach recently. I brought two pairs of hinged handcuffs, because I really wanted to try playing beach volley in cuffs… LOL! :-) Leley is getting used to doing everything in handcuffs when I am around, I think she was as curious as I was. I picked hinged cuffs, because it would limit our wrists even more. We locked ourselves in the cuffs on the beach and tried to play volleyball. It’s easier than we expected! After a while, we didn’t even realise we were handcuffed. The only thing is… we are not actually very good at volleyball… so the ball just went all over the place. When we had enough, I tried to convince Leley that I didn’t bring any keys… I’m not sure if she believed me, but we spent quite some time sitting around in our cuffs :-)
Note to self: sand and cuffs = not good.
Ooooooo… ^_^… a package in the mail! A fan of my blog has sent me a pair of handcuffs!! I’m so excited! There’s even a nice letter! I had never seen these handcuffs before, it turns out they are Ralkem cuffs from the Czech republic (correct me if I’m wrong). They are really light, and the key is very strange. They aren’t very good for escape challenges since the key goes in from both sides, but the positive thing is: they fit on my elbows behind my back!! Thanks so much to the guy who sent them to me, I love them! xox
To make cleaning more interesting, I always cuff myself before doing any chores. Last time I showed you how I do the dishes, this week I will show you how I clean the floor: vacuum cleaning in leg irons and handcuffs! You have to watch out not to get entangled in the power chord and you can’t take large strides to step over things, but it sure makes cleaning a lot less boring!!
Whoohoo, I have now 2 pairs of Speedcuffs! Well, one pair isn’t from Hiatts, but they’re very similar! I challenged my friend Leley to a Speedcuffs battle. First we cuffed ourselves in front and we unlocked each other, just to show her how they work. Then we cuffed ourselves behind our back and tried to get out as fast as we could. Amazingly, Leley got lucky and she won. Instead of helping me, she grabbed my key and started teasing me! When I was finally released I got another bright idea: I tried cuffing Leley’s elbows together behind her back! It actually worked, and she was so helpless! Even with the key! I wanted to try it immediately, but unfortunately my elbows don’t come close enough behind my back to use the speedcuffs, so Leley cuffed my wrist to my elbow… I have to get practising to get my elbows together though! Does anyone know any good exercises for that?
A new pair of handcuffs! These are called Hamburg 8 and they are from Germany! They are really unusual, so I just HAD to get a pair of these! You can open them without a key when you fold them together. Of course, when your hands are in them, you can’t fold them together so you need a key to open them. Well, that’s the theory, I wouldn’t be CuffGirl if I found a way to escape these without using a key!! Want to know how? Just watch my video diary!
To stay in shape, I love to do all kinds of fitness and sports exercises! In addition to rollerblading, I love doing public fitness tracks, like the one in a nearby forest. It was cold and very wet, but who cares when you’re handcuffed and having fun! :-) I try to do as many exercises as possible in cuffs, some of them are actually quite hard when your wrists are tightly locked together!
Another self recorded video diary about my handcuff collection. The Hiatts darby model 104 cuffs are old style handcuffs! The key is totally different from modern handcuff keys. I will demonstrate how to close and open them by handcuffing myself in them. I love these, because they are not opened quickly like modern cuffs!
