Bayba: Lady Brown

by Roberto Baldazzini

Witness the severe training transsexual Bayba receives at the strict hands of Lady Brown in a very special school for young submissives. Bayba, as usual, takes the cruelest bondage and discipline like a true champ! Also, as usual, it’s all presented with tongue very firmly in cheek.

Gross. The stuff done to "her" is sickening. I'm open to one book of any ...rotica series by NBM but this tested my limits. Poop is even included and the cover doesn't warn you that she has a rank wart on her cheek the whole book but the last page.

The art, however, is fun and precise. It's even sexy away from the detestable horrors. Some of the "females" are very good looking, especially the FEW real ones- who have great snatches. Her "dicky" is funny looking.

Sigh. I had such high hopes for this, but it was really just a mess of scenes and panels that lacked any sort of cohesive linear flow. Yes, I know, big words and fancy terms for a sissy looking for a stiffy, but when a book fails to arouse, it tends to make me think.

The Bayba Set (which collects her Lady Brown & Domina in Red adventures) looks absolutely gorgeous. They're beautifully oversized books, printed on thick, glossy paper, with vivid colors and sharp text. The drawings are absolutely gorgeous, with enough costumes and props to make me overlook the fact that Bayba seems to change shape and lose/gain weight from one panel to the next.

If only Roberto Baldazzini had lavished such attention upon his words. There is a loose story in both books, but it jumps around, leaps from scene to scene, and never really connects. While I read Domina in Red cover-to-cover, I gave up halfway through Lady Brown and really just scanned it for the artwork.
