What is fetish? Part II. By Alexandrebuffalo

See Part I

Alexandrebuffalo (www.alexandrebuffalo.com/bio_fr.htm)lives in Paris, has always been attracted by the entire universe of fetish and SM and has his own vision about what fetish is (www.alexandrebuffalo.com/comprendre.html – French).

First of all, (and I absolutely agree with him here) he draws a line between fetish for yourself and fetish for the sake of fashion:

“Pour bien marquer une différence je vais écrire fetish pour la mode, et fétiche pour l’esprit.”

Versailles vs IKEA

Why them? Last week I’ve been to both Versailles and IKEA (yes, I have good excuses for both cases 😉 They both are big, crowdy, located on the outskirt of the cities, have pictures, beds and mirrors inside. Even the temperature (outside) was the same.

And the differences?

Clothes.

You might expect that people would dress up if they are going to visit a palais, and wear old “garden” worn out rags in a warehouse? Ha! Quite the opposite. Minidresses, miniskirts, shorts, high heels with pantyhose in IKEA. Just imagine long-legged girls (NL is the tallest nation in the world) in miniskirts and pantyhose scattered laying on beds and sofas, kids in shorts and opaque thin tights tumbling in soft toys, women on high heels, in skirts and transparent pantyhose checking the wardrobe heights …

And warm jackets, jeans, heavy boots, backpacks in Versailles. Typical tourists you would say. But there are exceptions. I’ve seen a Russian woman wearing high heeled boots with thin pantyhose and skirt on Zugspitze (at almost 3km).

Pantyhose with shorts. Part II.

See Part I.

I hope it’s a tendency. All fingers crossed. But I notice more and more nylon clad legs on the streets in Europe. Jeans, trousers and skirts are getting shorter. If, say, in 2000-2003 most women was wearing short jeans (longer than capri), 2003-2005 – long (below the knee) breeches and capri’s, 2006-2007 – miniskirts, short breeches and shorts. Even when the temperature goes down, only the pantyhose density goes up.

These photos were made in Paris near Musée d’Orsay:

Yesterday I saw a tall woman wearing (everything was “off-” or “near black”) short coat, mini shorts, opaque pantyhose and high (under knee) boots.

Needless to say that I like it 😉
