Pass The PVC, Please!

There’s a forum discussion on KinkBC at the moment about whether anyone enjoyed wearing their fetish gear in public.

Fetish wear outside of kink events? Absolutely.
I don't think it's an exhibitionist thing for me though.

(I emphatically deny being an exhibitionist, no matter what you may hear. Lies, all lies!)

To be honest fetish wear just makes me feel sexy, and it feels like a natural thing for me to be wearing.

As a teen I tended towards sexier clothing, pretty unusual for girls my size at that point in time. It was very discouraged, large girls couldn’t even find basic clothing to fit easily, let alone fashionable or sexy stuff. It was a source of definite frustration for me.

We also tended to be told No one wants to see that on a large girl. And that was just in reference to tank tops, shorts, and bathing suits.

(How screwed up is that?)

I spent many years after that being a tomboy, but the desire for sexier, more feminine clothing was just lurking beneath the surface. The moment sexy, fashionable clothing became available in my size, I became quite a clothing whore.

In the past few years I’ve become a girly-girl, rarely seen out in pants, let alone the overalls of my past.

Most recently I’ve discovered a craving for tight, corset-style wear and fishnet. Luckily some less-revealing corset-type tops are designed for street wear. My heart is happy; my wallet and closet beg to differ with me.

Do I have a desire to push the limit and get really fetted out and go grocery shopping? No, not really. But sometimes my street clothes just seem far too boring for a coffee out with friends, or a casual dinner at a restaurant.

Who knows, maybe the day will come when my fet wardrobe and my day-wear will merge.

Wouldn’t that be nice?
