Yes - MacKenzie did want to be a star

MacKenzie could not see much through her blindfold - which had been formed from her bra - only vague shapes, and she could hear a large object being dragged across to stage to just behind her. Whatever was going on, she was sure it was not going to be good. To add to her concerns the velvet bat which her bow-tie had turned into, had lost all fear, and landed on her panty protected pussy whenever it wanted, and MacKenzie could not see it coming, it was always a surprise. It was not unpleasant - in fact it felt almost as if, for example, Amanda was giving her little strokes as she passed by - but that would be really embarrassing.

Amanda's announcement gave MacKenzie a pretty good idea what was coming next - "Ladies - our next act is a demonstration of the art of escapology - you see before you the dreaded custard peril - feared by all who wish to leave the stage with their dignity intact."

Normally MacKenzie would introduce "The Amazing Amanda - Queen of Escapes" and would tie Amanda to a sturdy carved wooden chair, which had ropes for wrists, ankles, knees, elbows and above and below the breasts. Member of the audience would be invited to check the knots, and then Amanda would be blindfolded to make the escape harder, and a giant hourglass would be turned over. The hourglass was linked to a large bucket of custard, which would be deposited over the chair and its occupant if a lever was not pulled to stop it before the hourglass emptied. Amanda, who had practiced this escape a lot, would free herself with seconds to spare. Amanda had tried to teach MacKenzie the basics of escapology, but there was something about being tied in that chair by Amanda which made MacKenzie forget all her lessons and just pull at the ropes without a strategy.

Amanda continued her spiel "I would now like four volunteers from the audience to come and verify that The Marvelous MacKenzie, **** of Struggles is truely tied up before she starts her escape attempt - no - you can't all come - You, you, you and you, please come up onto the stage".

MacKenzie wondered who the volunteers would be - there were quite a few girls in the audience she had reason to be worried about. There was Sarah, who had embarassed her when the was a lifeguard. She had seen Inge - they had been friends at school until the 'incident' in chemistry which had left Inge reduced to her underwear and blaming MacKenzie for getting the mixture wrong. The fact that all of MacKenzie's clothes had dissolved had not caused Inge to forgive her. MacKenzie shuddered, almost every possible volunteer was associated with some embarassing memory.

The girls crowded round MacKenzie, some of them tugging at the tights which were keeping her wrists and ankles bound but other hands were stroking up and down her legs, flat palming her tummy, getting close to her panties, and even tweaking her nipples. The fact that they knew MacKenzie could not tell who they were made them bolder, as well as the way that, although Amanda could see they were going way beyond checking MacKenzie's bond, she was doing nothing to stop them.

Femine fingers slipped inside the waistband of MacKenzie's panties, lifting it up and releasing it, and a voice, familiar though MacKenzie could place it, so many girl's voices send that shiver of fear through her, remarked "Nice panties - I bet you don't want to get custard all over them ?!"
