I have heard of corsetry, but some of the things I have found on my search . . . wow, they are ridiculous. Real fetishes! But this one isn't just about looking sexy and feminine, it's dangerous and in some extreme extreme cases, life threatening.
this is a diagram of what the corset does to the body, it is known as the S-Bend shape. This was very popular during the Regency period, as well as a few other era's in history such as the Roccoco, Edwardian and Elizabethian eras.





Then some are just ridiculous. Unbelievable really . . .

Cathie Jung

This woman, Cathie Jung, has the smallest recorded waist in history. She says corsetry is her life, and that she wears a corset 24 hours a day.

And yes, Oh my . . . men do it too. . . which looks completely ridiculous.

My very worst . . . this must be one of the most revolting things I've ever seen, close to that of those Sky hook things and the surface implant things . . .  They are called corset piercings. Yuck.


 

This is a beautiful picture, Japanese women seem to be catching on to this horrific trend

Though I haven't done full research on this yet, I will post my essay and research when I have, I have found this interesting. How people alter their bodies, permanently, for vanity mainly - though they say it's for their feminine being.

these pictures are googled, but unrefrenced.


P.S. read, follow, comment, enjoy :)
