Absolutely amazing gymnastics and figure skating leotards

figure skating gymnastics leotard-01Clothing plays very important role in sport. First of all it must be functional. Convenient, “fast”, comfortable, reliable, supportive, etc. But some some sports require one additional element: the clothes must be beautiful, eye-catchy, or simply a piece of art. I’m talking about aerobics, rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating.

From various forums I learnt that coaches and parents know all swimsuit/leotard designers by name, location and prices. The suits are vitally important for any competition and can add or deduct points. The commentators (and, of course, spectators) pay additional attention to the clothes.

Check this eBay shop out. They sell custom made competition leotards, unitards and catsuits for boys, girls and adults. I was literally stunned when I saw their design. Looks like everything is possible. You can have the leotards in different forms or styles, colours, add Swarovski crystals. Even if you come up with your own design. (To be honest I can’t think of anything else, what’s available is already more than enough for me 😉

BTW, did you know what men’s or boy’s figure skating and gymnastics costumes look like? I did not. Look at the photos below. Continue reading “Absolutely amazing gymnastics and figure skating leotards”

Part III. Holland

shiny pantyhose and carnivalsSee Part I and Part II.

Another set of 29 photos. As in the previous part – the most important is the clothes and the atmosphere, the rest (like choreography and synchronous movements) is left for the “boring people”.

Just keep the music loud, pantyhose shiny, uniform short, make-up bright, feathers long and heels high! Yeeehhaaa!!! ;-D

Boys, garter belts, stockings and bondage
or back to the last century

garter belts and stockings for boysWhen I first saw these advertisements I thought of a some kind of bondage devices to keep the kids (or their hands) in place. And when my eyes quickly scanned the descriptions (apparently missing some words) they appeared to be even more misleading:

“… keep the children neatly … whether they are at school or at play. Helps them to learn to … and save your time… Strong elastic and non-elastic web … Known throughout the nation for quality. Will not slip off shoulder. A positive way of keeping their stockings up. Helps teach children to be neat. …. Kazoo for boys… Acts as a body brace … Growing girls should wear … that will prevent the shoulders from drooping. … Age 4 to 16 … “

Straps, braces, buckles, body harnesses, stockings … “Wow!”, I thought, “looks like the Sweet Gwendoline’s training! Did I miss this fetish bondage experience in my childhood?”

Winter carnivals, Tanzmarie and shiny pantyhose
Part II. Holland

tanzmarie and shiny pantyhoseSee Part I

Unlike Germany, in The Netherlands Tanzmarie is more a kids costume. The Dutch philosophy is a bit different. Choreography is, say, less sophisticated, the discipline is pretty much non-existent, less requirements and more participation.

If a kid wants to be dressed pretty and “participate” – sure, go for it. It does not matter what you can do, it’s the mood and willingness what counts. Parents love their kids regardless their talents, right? Especially if they are happy and look cute. (No. I do not think that everybody will be pleased with the performance).

Anyway, get dressed and enjoy!

Winter carnivals and Tanzmarie. Part I. Germany
or men, women, girls and kids in shiny pantyhose

Tanzmarie and shiny pantyhoseThe first carnival “wave” is over. Unfortunately, I missed this event hence using some photos found on the Internet.

What makes this carnival interesting (for me, at least) is the Tanzmarie costume – short dress with very shiny special Tanzmariechen pantyhose, worn by kids, girls (big kids), women and … men.

Yes, even men. See photos below.

Breath control art, plastic bags or thin transparent film. Part V
Kids, self-bondage and asphyxia

plastic bags and condom worn over head, breath control and asphyxiationSee the previous parts.

Just in case (again): I’m not into breath control or autoerotic asphyxiation, but I like thin transparent film, plastic, latex worn hmmm … everywhere … Ideally, it can be something like this latex condom dress.

Being a kid I did play with plastic bags, but I always made holes to breath through. But I had two very dangerous close calls:

Kids and bondage, men and clothes, and self-bondage mood

This is what is currently being discussed in the forum:

What clothes is appropriate for men and what is not? Why? Would you dare? See Men in “inappropriate” clothing.

What “stimuli” work for you? Do you need motivation or encouragement? What gives your imagination a “push”? See What gets you in the self-bondage mood.

Where did you see bondage for the first time? When you were a kid? In a book? On the TV? See Bondage in TV-Series.

Latex clothes in usual “vanilla” shops? See Rubber at Top Shop.

Do you have a self-bondage safety person? Can you call anybody to help you out of the self-inflicted predicament should anything go wrong or to check “just in case”? See Mad idea involving the bolero armbinder.

Men in pantyhose/tights? See here.

Bondage in movies, TV-series and kids fairy tales

When and where have you seen bondage for the first time? In a book? Take, for example, Pushkin’s “Tale of the dead princess and the seven knights”

And when breath she had recovered
Summoned Smudge, her chamber maid,
And to her instructions gave:
“Take the Princess to the forest,
Bind her hand and foot and forehead
To a tree! When wolves arrive
Let them eat the girl alive!”
. . .
“Well?” demanded the Tsaritsa,
“Where’s that pretty little creature?”
“In the forest on her own,”
Smudge replied. “And there she’ll stay.
To a tree I firmly lashed her.

(Actually, in the original she “tightly bound her elbows together”.)

On the TV? I think most will say – the TV. This is another example of a very erotic (in my opinion) bondage scene in an absolutely innocent fairy tale called “Morozko” (Frost), when a beautiful girl was kidnapped and bound to a tree by a gang of robbers.

And this is what this forum thread is about: bondage in TV series.

Public opinion, morality, fetish and kids or
fetish clothes to the office

girl in latex in the shopWhile the definition of the word “fetish” is pretty much “standard”, the actual meaning is different and individual for every person. Any object or activity can become a fetish one. It can be shopping, driving, jogging, wearing fur, high heels, latex, collecting stamps, match boxes, vintage cars. But then a strange thing happens. This strange thing is called “public opinion”, or PO.

PO decides what is appropriate and what is not. PO decided, that wool and cotton are appropriate, but latex and leather are not. PO decided that some materials and clothes are appropriate for women and some for men. PO decides what clothes are appropriate for what time and place.

As you can see there is absolutely no logic here. Just as there is mostly no logic in “public opinion” or “morality” (See also the “children pornography” post).

Just two examples. Continue reading “Public opinion, morality, fetish and kids or
