Another example of overtly rope-based fashion. From Ars Vivendi, brought to my attention by violetwhite.

BDSM On The Air*
A while back Madison Young had twittered (yes, I do it, face it, we all do it) about a radio interview she’d just done for PersonalLife Media, and that she’d send out a link to the episode once it went live. Last week, she sent out the link, I grabbed it over the air on my iPhone (yes, I have one, face it, we all want one) and listened to it on my way into work.
Not even considering the little thrill I got from listening to a discussion of D/s on the streetcar, it’s a great interview, and actually sets up many of the things she’ll probably be covering in the Zen Submissive workshop at Northbound. She references the workshop specifically in the interview, in fact. After I heard it, I emailed her and asked if it was something she thought those who would be attending the workshop should listen to.
Her response was that I should feel free to share it with anyone who has signed up or who might be interested in the workshop… but that no homework is necessary.
Here’s the link. If you don’t feel like listening to it, the entire interview is transcribed. I do recommend giving it a listen, no matter what where on the D/s spectrum you plant your feet. There’s certainly things I’ll be thinking about, from this, the next time I get my hands and my focus on someone.

I’d be very curious to know how the discussion leading to the naming of the dress went. It’s a nice dress. I suppose I can see how the word shibari could almost apply. Almost. If you sort of lean your head to one side and squint.
Okay actually no I can’t.
The question, now that I think more about it, that this dress brings up for me is how many people who would buy and wear this dress – and undoubtedly talk about the name of the dress whenever someone comments on it – how many of those people would even consider having someone put rope on them? Even for purely aesthetic purposes? Pay me a quarter of what the dress costs and before you leave for your fancy dress party I’ll tie some black rope over a white dress and end up with something far more flattering.

This one will attract smoking fetishists and sensory deprivation seekers alike.

Public : What’s Your Fetish?
One of the things I love most in this picture is the opposition between the orange Post No Bills poster above and the purple Fetish poster below. Turns out “The Fetish Collection” is a clothing line represented by the rapper Eve. A clothing line that, really, isn’t so fetishy at all.
