Me.

some of my art. this is me.

i've been asked why i like corsets. its a hard question to answer. i love the shape, the feel, the security. most of all its that i love the mixture between having a secret and being an exhibitionist. i love people's reactions when they find out.

i feel intimate with my own body. its like being naked in public. you can feel every centimetre of your own skin. its like a permanent hug, that's yours and yours only and noone else knows about it unless you feel like sharing. people think its strange that you choose to lace, that its old fashioned, archaic, damaging to your health (which it certainly couldn't be or the WASP population of the earth would have been decimated long ago) or just plain strange. but why do people adhere to fashions? why do they get their ears pierced? its all a matter of self expression.

its not a sexual thing, not in the way people might think. it doesn't make me feel dominant, or like a prostitute. but i have something that noone else i've encountered so far has.

i am special. at least for a moment in time.
