THE ADVENTURE OF MR. JAYLASTIC

Sometime back I began a correspondence with a charming gentleman from Northern California. We shared similar interests in mummification and immobilization and it wasn't long before we began to plan a meeting. Mr. Jaylastic (as I like to think of him) is 6'5", 220 pounds of prime mummyflesh.

There was no way my collection of wrappings would be enough to contain him. So, he began sending me the expenses to buy the supplies we needed. When I first began mummifying, I used to prepare for a mummification by visiting 3-5 of the local medical supply shops and buying some of what they had available. That usually gave me a variety of materials: Coban, Elastoplast, Hyginet, Ace Bandages, medical wraps, gauzes and of course, Texas catheters and retainment bags so one can stay mummified for a longer period of time.

Nowadays, I create much more complicated mummies and Hollywood doesn't have enough specialized stores. I prefer to shop online from a variety of places, from MedicalToys.com, Sitstay.com and even Raytech.com. This time, I was going to fulfill a special request and encapsulate my new mummy in as many layers as he could endure, culminating in two snug layers of shiny, black Jaylastic tape. Never having played football, I was unfamiliar with the product. He explained it was a sport wrap that football players used and that he'd always wanted to be mummified in it. The Vet wrap from Medical Toys.com arrived on schedule. Acquiring the Jaylastic took some doing, and recieving my wraps from Raytech proved even more difficult. The day before the mummfication I drove over 150 miles in 6 hours of traffic to the Raytech factory, and they were kind enough to stay open late for me.

When I got home, I spent quite sometime arranging our "War Chest" on my Buggy Bench and prepping for the day to come...

I began by opening a very rare package of coban. There's five 1/2" rolls per pack which let me wrap each finger individually.

I found the end result quite inspirational.

Then I added 3" stretch bandages to his calves and forearms.

I applied a preliminary wrap to his face.

Things were shaping up nicely.

I call this shot my "Coppertone Mummy Shot".

Crossing my mummy's hands over his lower chest I began to weld them together with fragrant white vet wrap from Medicaltoys.com. Within moments his arms were solidly and comfortably encased and our time together became very, very serious.

I added more stretch wraps and sat my mummy down.

Five 1/2" Coban tapes gave me enough to mummify all of Mr. Jaylastic's extremeties.

Once all the basic layers were done, it was time to experiment with the Jaylastic. Jaylastic is a sexy tape that glitters like the asphalt on Hollywood Boulevard. It also reminded me of every football game I ever watched. I became inspired.

You can see how quickly he changes from a traditional Greco Romanesque Mummy into something all together different.

The legs went together so smoothly, encasing his feet and ankles in another inescapable layer of constrictive Jaylastic.

I am continually studying mummication techniques. My latest favorite book is Dr. Zahi Hawass' "The Valley Of The Golden Mummies" which gives me lots of excellent ideas. For me, the symmetry of his wrappings in this photo confirm that I am a true Mistress of Mummfication.

Once I wrapped my mummy's head, he began to sink into a deep trance. I decided to leave him floating for an hour or so.

I called Mistress Anna Valentina and she emerged shortly, full of energy, ready to mummify and join me in photos. I tossed her the camera and she captured this tender moment.

Ms. Valentina spent quite some time inspecting Mr. Jaylastic. Mr. Jaylastic voiced no objection.

I began to show Mistress Anna how to use Jaylastic and she began to help me by rolling my large slave around so we could finish taping his torso.

In between each roll of Jaylastic we would give him a moment to catch his breath. Once you're in 7 layers of wrapping even the smallest movement becomes exhausting.

Pushing and pulling a mummy can be quite amusing.

It took over three hours to completly mummify Mr. Jaylastic and he remained that way for three additional hours.

Even the hunkiest of mummies must eventually join the real world again. I reluctantly began unwrapping him.

I took special pains to remove every bit of jaylastic, coban, vetwrap and stretch bandages personally.
