Caged Fashion Slaves Bondage Fail


"Hey, when I begged and pleased to be let out of the cell, this was not what I had in mind!" Image source: Sex and Submission.

So, my flying monkeys brought is a story about a fashion show in Germany in which some of the models posed in a roomy giant birdcage sort of thing. It's easy to see why they brought it in, the story was headlined "Caged Fashion Slaves!"

Looking at the image of the model sitting comfortably in a cage about the size of your average office cubicle dressed in clothing that would be completely ordinary in your average office cubicle, I at first thought the image was too lame to bother with, but kept it around because it WASN'T about 50 Shades of Gray, and how often does that happen lately?

Then I read the copy that ran with the article and it consisted of a bunch of nattering about whether the cage was really about bondage or not, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda "Not really bondage" etc. It was SO FREAKING STUPID! The fashion show imagery was not bondage, it was WEAKSAUCE! The image at the top of this page ... THAT'S bondage, you stupid fucking fashion dumbasses.

I know rationally that they were just playing up the bondage imagery because there was nothing else going on in the show to make it interesting, and the protests were probably squealed in delighted tones rather than serious objections. But damn, that sort of stuff is tiresome.
