Bondage Champagne: It's For Real!


"A bondage bubbly that will not make you gag!"

The fashion world is rapidly doing to the word "bondage" what the food industry once did to words such as "natural" and "organic." Just as the term "organic" gradually got expanded from "not made with chemical pesticides and additives" to "does not actually contain plutonium," so "bondage" has been expanded from "a person tied up, chained up, gagged, etc." to "a person wearing something that is black or some other color with a string or strap hanging somewhere."

Think I'm exaggerating? Check out that champagne above! It's being marketed as "Jean-Paul Gaultier bondage bubbly created to ring in Halloween," a nice Piper-Heidsieck that comes in a black bottle with black fishnet and a set of black studs around the rim of the bottle. You can read about it here.

What next? Will Coke advertise itself as a bondage soft drink because Coke appears black when poured into a glass? Will people use bondage belts to hold up their pants and bondage laces to tie their shoes? Has the world gone MAD in short? (Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It took you this long to notice?)


But IF you're going to call it bondage champagne, this is DEFINITELY the way to serve it!

Jay,

I know you are but what am I?

I think Jay was referring to the idea of bondage champagne here.

In my defence, may I quote dictionary.com...
"the state or practice of being physically restrained, as by being tied up, chained, or put in handcuffs, for sexual gratification."

How a bottle wearing studded fishnet is associated with bondage??
I find that "miserably or contemptibly inadequate"

Therefore, I REFUSE to be associated with an idiot that puts fishnet on a bottle and calls it bondage!

Pat, I'm rather lenient? I think lenient is the right english word?

But what would happen with the Brians crowd when they see the bottle isn't gagged??

Lenient's close enough, though not QUITE there. Lenient would be someone who is in power but does not enforce the rules too closely ... the opposite of "strict." So being lenient in terms of use of the term bondage is correct. "Liberal" in its non-political sense might be slightly better as it does not imply being in power. (Come to think of it, it DEFINITELY does not imply being in power in the political sense, lately!)

However, to be fair, I must point out that the bottle IS gagged ... it has a cork tightly jammed in its mouth.

Cork gagged? A new one.

Perhaps I am being the stickler that Sasha figures I am, but is there anything wrong with fetish?

"an object {{Dressed up bottle}} or bodily part whose real or fantasized presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression"
