Leather Fetish and Normalacy: Which are You?
So what is the line between fetish, obsession and "normal"? Hmmmm, my wife goes oragasmic over Cole Haan bags, and Manolo shoes...I sometimes think I am married to Ms. Marcos! I've often wondered if my collection of leather is obsessional myself, with the piles of jackets I have accumulated. Just when I though...hmmm maybe Im normal...I don't dress up in leather thongs and go to big parties for whippings (not that there is anything wrong with that) I remember back to my first really cool jacket and how excited I was when I bought it. I remember the creak of the hard leather as it folded and broke in, the sense of protection that it offered and that smell! Well, now I am remembering why Nancy gets so excited about that bag and those shoes...and hell Im not the only one who obviously has this fascination just check out some of the links on my blog or this guy!!!!

Its not like its weird I just forget that I have it and dont know why!
Ditto since my uncles were in the Air Force in WWII.
ReplyDeleteDon't have more time right now but I will tell you my latest fascination/collection - Nifty Canadian university leather varsity jackets (Ryerson, U. Toronto, MacMaster etc.) Really well made and (yes) I do find them pretty sexy. What is that?!

Yeah, you're not alone. Sometimes I have to bring it down a notch or look like I'm going to the Gay Pride parade for the leathermen's contingent.
ReplyDeleteIm all for the leathermans contingent,its not me but I am amazed that both Japanese and Gay culture have single handedly kept many of the leather shops in North America from the brink of bankruptcy. I think you will project cool through your style straight or gay (lol you make sure not to wear a dog collar!!)
ReplyDeleteI only wear brown leather, and never pants or anything fetishy, but my elderly parents honestly think I have an "outerwear problem." Any time I visit, my jacket has to come off the instant I enter the house or else a guilt trip begins that ruins everybody's day.
