Beauty in Bondage

Let's face it. There is beauty in bondage.

And the images of s&m and bdsm.

I loved it from a very young age, before I even realized what it was.

Then again, I was always a little girl obsessed with the dark and macabre. 

Besides the known vintage photos of Bettie Page, which were somewhat innocent, 

I was one of those girls who also loved fashion magazines. Flipping through the pages, I fell in love with images of women in designs from Saint Laurent, Gautier, McQueen...

I wanted to be those women, wear those clothes. I still do. 

Inexplicably, my young body was also turned on by the thought of it - still am!

I suppose that should have been an indicator of things to come!

I adore how it can interspersed in a subtle way or just smacking you in the face with it blatant show.

Peruse these beautiful images.
