Victorian Captions

I had mentioned in a reply to a comment on Bea’s blog that I had an idea for a Victorian themed Forced Feminisation story mainly because I’ve always been intrigued and captivated not only by the late Victorian/Edwardian era  but any period right up to the 50’s. Obviously ladies fashion is a major consideration but those societies held an equal fascination for me from a social aspect also. It’s no coincidence that this was the era that maids’ uniforms became standardised and the maid’s uniform was the distinguishing feature between mistress and maid. I reckon it would take a lot of research to do a story properly so not sure if I would/could undertake it just now.

But for some reason this did trigger something in me about how an idea can become a source of fascination, obsession even. I don’t know what it’s like for others who are into FF or petticoat discipline but I went through phases where I was completely fascinated about certain facets of femininity. One example, I went through a long period where the big thing  was  bridal gowns, it became almost an addiction I bought bridal magazines, would go out of my way to see stores displaying bridal gowns in their windows, lingering in hotel lobbies at a wedding just to catch a glimpse of a bride in a satin gown. Crazy.

 Eventually it became such an obsession I had to buy one, then another and another. Anyway this is a long winded way of saying it was the same with the Victorian/Edwardian era I became obsessed, and the way I dealt with it was to caption some scenes from various TV shows and films, some I even made into mini stories just for my  own amusement well… more titillation I suppose.

Anyhoo here are a few old ones I did years ago and posted on Flickr they’re pretty basic but do have a Victorian theme. It's a pity the maid's uniform is not the standard black one but I think the overall  scene makes up for it. Some readers may have seen them already but others may find them interesting.

FYI those following ASP I’m close to finishing it- hopefully in the next 2 weeks I have one Illustration almost done and hoping to get a second before I post the final chapter.
