Wasp Waist World

corsetrookie asked: Would you consider to make a self-lacing video, and put it on YouTube? I know that women with a full figure - like you have - usually don't want to show off (which is a pity), but you seem to have no problems with that :-) I would be really interested to see how you do it, and what kind of restriction (as measured from your natural waist size) you can achieve. Cheers, thanks for considering.

I’ve been planning on it actually. I do tighten my laces differently to a lot of people. So yes, I can totally make a video. =) Also, I agree with you that there is nothing to be ashamed about with my body. I actually think it’s pretty amazing. =p

Anonymous asked: i'm tightlacing my self and your pictures are wonderful! what do you thing about male tightlacing?

I think it takes a lot of courage. I know how much negative attention I get as a tightlacer, and I’m a woman. It’s hard to be “feminine” in this society, even being a woman. Femininity is frowned upon. I think it shows great attitude and an intense desire to be exactly who they want to be. Therefore, I love male tight lacing. I love anybody who stands up for what they believe in. (so long as what they believe in doesn’t hurt anybody.)

#corset

Have you ever noticed how few things tagged with “corset” have anything to do with corsets. Hook eye lingerie does not a corset make. Long line bras are not corsets. Photos of a face have naught to do with corsets. *nod*

corsetrookie asked: I enjoyed browsing through your blog, breathtaking pictures, and interesting personal comments. In one of your comments you said "... shows dedication and pain, two things I appreciate and love" - may I ask in how far this is the key for your corset enthusiasm? How dedicated are you, and in which way pain is involved? Thanks, Peter

Heh, that comment is quite old. Well, dedication is easy for me. I have a very strong personal drive. I’m the type who when I want to quit something, I just do. I stopped smoking in the middle of a pack just because. I did the same thing with corsets, I was reading about them, and I just decided to put mine on and not take it off. The pain is a bit of a side note. I don’t feel much pain from tightlacing, Generally only when I let my back get lacerated from the laces… But that does happen and I like it. It makes me _feel_ the progress. A thing I find very hard to explain with words to people. It’s a strong emotion driven thing. I hope I answered your question. Sorry if it’s too vague.
