Thought I'd share some rather interesting email responses from Rachel (with her approval of course):
Thank you so much for emailing me some lift and carry requests. I am always looking for new ideas, so that I can keep my videos fresh instead of doing the same things over and over.
As far as the You Tube lift goes, I believe that I actually did a modified version of this in my Tempest video... And actually I am on the receiving end of that exact same lift in a f/m video that I shot yesterday! So hopefully with a little work, I can pull it off in a future f/f and possibly even a f/m video in the near future.
As far as future videos go, my current male partner (my boyfriend... who actually got me into lift and carry) is actually about 6'2" and 215 lbs, so you will be seeing quite a bit of me lifting a larger male... Hehehe! We do it atr ghome all the time, now I just have to get him comfortable in front of the camera. And it is also a great demonstration of just how strong I am, because you can see in the new video just how much bigger he really is compared to me...
As far as video suggestions go, I would love to hear more ideas and would love as much feedback and input as possible... What would you guys like to see, what should I wear, do you like barefoot or in heels... You name it... I am always looking for ideas....
Hugs & Kisses,
Rachel

Hey Sweetie,
Funny that you ask that... LOL! I ahave probably had it in me most of my life, because I remember carrying my younger sister around when we were growing up even though she absolutely hated it and would scream and squirm... Hehehehe! I also was a cheerleader all through high school and college and because of my size I usually ended up being a "base" as opposed to a "flyer". Unfortunately, I have been about the same size I am now since I was 15 or 16 years old, and it was rare to find any girls who could actually support me for more than a minute or two... So honestly, all he had o do was ask one day when we were goofing around play fighting, and it has been wonderful ever since! Then again, I am one of those girls that he could pretty much ask me to do just about anything and because we have such a great connection, I would probably try it once....
Hugs & Kisses,
Rachel
The youtube clip is in reference to a over the shoulder lift performed in the old Special Interest videos but has been ignored as of late:
