Vintage bondage and vintage fetish. Smell of Quelle, latex of Kunzmann and bondage of Kastley

Let’s go back in time a bit further then Vintage bondage and vintage fetish. Sean Harper. Part I. First Internet access – to the 80’s. I was a kid and there was no Internet, there were no on-line shops, and for mail delivery we had to use thick mail-order catalogues, like Sears in the US or Quelle in Europe. We never had Sears, but I vividly remember Quelle – hundreds of hair thin pages and … smell … Any printed material has its own smell (or stink ;-), so had Quelle catalogues.

Of course I liked to browse through the colourful pages, but the first chapter I usually began with was lingerie. I was fascinated with photos of girls, women, boys and men in pantyhose or swimsuits. And I still remember the moment I noticed teenagers in a catsuit- or hoodless zentai-like pyjamas. I was already hooked to pantyhose and swimsuits, but it was something new I would like to be tied up in.

Back to the 60’s or fetish and bondage Soviet comedy film: “Kidnapping, Caucasian Style”

Who from the Soviet leaders of the 60’s could have thought that this hilarious and extremely popular comedy film would become “the starting for thousands” of future fetishists? How could they miss the “no skirt” pantyhose and bondage scenes? By the way, the censors were going to ban the film, and it was Brezhnev who finally approved it.

I bet there were two camps: those who imagined themselves being with bound and gagged Nina, and those who would swap with Nina to be dressed in those blue pantyhose with back seams, bound gagged and mummified in a sleeping bag. (I’m always in the latter camp, you know 😉 )

The blue tights are famous. They were bought by the film director’s wife (Nina Grebeshkova, played the doctor) in Paris for herself but “sacrificed” to Natalya Varley, who played the role of “Nina”.

Oh, I forgot to tell you the title! It’s “Kidnapping, Caucasian Style” (“Кавказская пленница, или Новые приключения Шурика”). You can:

Flight attendants, stewardesses, pantyhose. Part II. Back to the 60’s

If you have a sudden urge to see dozens of women in shiny pantyhose, there is an easy 24×7 solution – go to the nearest big airport (see Flight attendants and shiny pantyhose). One small problem, unlike aerobics, usually below the knees.

That was not the case back in 60’s or 70’s – the years when two great inventions were made: pantyhose and mini skirt.

Can you imagine a flight attendant in super mini shorts or super mini dresses and pantyhose? It was quite normal 40-50 years ago. Unbelievable? See 16 photos below.

This music must be listened in fishnet pantyhose only!

Or what was the idea behind this cover?
Was it a typical street/disco fashion in ’66s?
.. or …
In order order to assemble this audio system put on fishnet pantyhose for your protection.

When I balance on top of these boxes I always use safety fishnets.

Edie Sedgwick. Part IV. Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller in pantyhoseIn short: Sienna Miller played Edie Sedgwick (see Part I, Part II and Part III) in “The Factory Girl”. (You can find some shots from the movie below). But this is not all. She managed to shock the public with her clothes on the premiere afterparty: black shiny pantyhose with a leotard(?), control panty(?), spandex shorts(?) on top, a fluffy top, ankle-high boots with high heels and a leather jacket. If you followed my Edie Sedgwick posts, you would say that it’s very Edie-like. Yes and no.

“Yes”, because the list of clothes indeed look similar to what Edie would wear. “No”, because no journalists recognized “the style”. Instead, they were shouting: “Sienna forgot a skirt or pants at home!”, “Sienna Has No Pants, or Sense of Style”, “No pants party”, “Fashion victim”. A disaster? Have a look at the photos and decide by yourself. Continue reading “Edie Sedgwick. Part IV. Sienna Miller”

Edie Sedgwick. Back to the 60s? Part III The followers

Edie Sedgwick in pantyhose(See Part I and Part II)

Her influence was and still is enormous. Lots of women are trying their best to dress like Edie, behave like Edie and look like Edie, posting revealed secrets in blogs and forums, and (what I find very funny) hissing on teenagers wearing striped shirts with opaque pantyhose:”How dare you! You don’t even know whose style it is!!!”

Edie's lookNope, she did not invent the style. She did not invent stripes, she did not invent mini. She even did not invent pantyhose. Girls and women of 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s dressed like that, without knowing who Edie was. The style is obvious. It’s the current generation who are rediscovering and reinventing pantyhose (yes, I’m simplifying 😉 abandoned by the celebrities of 2000 and rediscovering the celebrities of 60’s and 70’s.

Pantyhose with a leotard, pantyhose with a loose-fitting shirt (and nothing else), pantyhose and a t-shirt, pantyhose with mini-dress, pantyhose with leotard and t-shirt, etc. Black opaques or fishnets. And heels.
