I shall resist the old one about nostalgia not being what it used to be. (Sigh.) Instead, home in on what would appear to be simpler times. The euphoria at having survived a world war took at least two decades to die down. The fifties and the first half of the sixties were awash with images of domestic bliss. Happy couples looking well off and happy with all the new electrical appliances from televisions to food mixers, from record players to washing machines. What a shame it was all a fantasy. (Well, mostly.)
The truth was that it was a well-engineered propaganda campaign to get women out of the workplace and back in the home, looking after the kids. Women had proven themselves the equal of men, building the engines of war. Now it was time to return to normal. Normal? Isn't equality normal? Sadly, the fight for equality still rages. However, that's the beauty of a FemDom relationship; the balances are reversed.
Anyway, back to a simpler time. Back to fantasy...

One can certainly feel nostalgic about the underwear...
I've been a long-time reader of your blog, Ptathuk, but this post struck me as worth commenting on because the way you connected the content of the imagery (and sexy fantasy) with the political point of equality reminds me of my own writing at MaleSubmissionArt.com. I really, really liked this post (and a huge number of your other captioned images and blog posts), and so I thought it was time to say hi, and thank you, and please keep this going for as long as you can. :) I check this site almost daily to see if there is new stuff—a rarity for me these days.
Giles,
I agree. There's somwthing about the corset to pre-tights era.

I'm glad you follow my blog. It's always nice to hear nice things being said about one's efforts. Thank you for taking the time to say.
