We wandered into our local branch of Past Times last weekend, curious to see what items the store was offering that might evoke nostalgic feelings for British traditions from days gone by. A traditional white cotton nightshirt just had to be bought – perfect for a scene in which a girl is sent to bed early, or called into her guardian’s study late at night for a discussion regarding her behaviour.
And then there was this:
Why, I wondered aloud, were they selling fairies in bondage? The poor little thing looked quite distraught, with her ankles and wrists bound tight. Imprisoned, perhaps – a whipping sure to follow. It was only then that we realised that the chains were actually designed to hang up the piece, and that the apparently ultra-kinky item was in fact entirely vanilla…
This post made me giggle. I think your vision of this little fairy is definitely more interesting and imaginative.
Thanks for making me giggle, I needed it to day.
@Lily – glad I brought a smile if you were having a tough day. You know, I am *so* regretting not buying this!
Very nice! In the picture that you have here the fairy does look very bondage like so congratulations on allowing your mind to create your own scenario!
Not only does that fairy look as though she truly is bound by those chains, she also looks as though she is happy about it. She would make a lovely piece of decor for any home!
