Thanks for this link. Interesting read. I love the final paragraph:

"Back in the 19th century, satire had it that husbands were frequently called upon to lace their wives into their corsets: on the one hand because the strength required exceeded that of a ladies’ maid, but also so that men could see if the laces had been untied and refastened incorrectly by a lover. It was fashion as female subservience. The interesting thing about the current revival is that, despite all that history, a woman wearing a corset today is a symbol of empowerment, of sexual freedom, of control. She’s the one holding the laces, the one constructing her own femininity."

I was at a photoshoot with Goddess Samantha a few days ago and the photographer was lacing her corset. She said "Sometimes I wonder who is dominating who here." I laughingly agreed but when she turned around and I saw the look in his eye at the vision she now was - it was clear who was about to get dominated.
