Bizarre (fetish Magazine)
John Alexander Scott Coutts (9 December 1902 – 5 August 1962), better known by the pseudonym John Willie, was an artist, fetish photographer, cartoonist, specialty shoe designer, and the publisher and editor of the first 20 issues of the fetish magazine ''Bizarre'' between 1946 and 1956, featuring his characters Sweet Gwendoline and Sir Dystic d'Arcy. Though distributed underground, ''Bizarre'' magazine had a far-reaching impact on later fetish-themed publications and experienced a resurgence in popularity, along with fetish model Bettie Page, beginning in the 1970s. As noted in ''John Willie: The Story of John Alexander Scott Coutts'', Richard Pérez Seves's definitive biography: "In the realm of 20th-century underground art, John Willie stands as a singular figure whose meticulous artistry and imaginative vision redefined fetish as both a creative and cultural force. More than just an 'erotic artist,' Willie’s work blended fantasy and humor with a refined style that e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

High Heels
High-heeled shoes, also known as high heels (colloquially shortened to heels), are a type of shoe with an upward-angled sole. The heel in such shoes is raised above the ball of the foot. High heels cause the legs to appear longer, make the wearer appear taller, and accentuate the calf muscle. There are many types of high heels in varying styles, heights, and materials. High heels have been used in various ways to convey nationality, professional affiliation, gender, and social status. High heels have been an important statement piece of fashion for centuries in the West. High heels spread from equestrian origins with the 10th century Persian galesh to wider fashion use. In early 17th-century Europe, high heels were a sign of masculinity and high social status. Towards the end of the century, the trend began to spread to women's fashion. By the 18th century, high-heeled shoes had split along gender lines. By this time, heels for men were chunky squares attached to riding boo ...

Fetish Art
Fetish art is art that depicts people in fetishistic situations such as S&M, domination/submission, bondage, transvestism and the like, sometimes in combination. It may simply depict a person dressed in fetish clothing, which could include undergarments, stockings, high heels, corsets, or boots. A common fetish theme is a woman dressed as a dominatrix. History Many of the 'classic' 1940s, 1950s and 1960s-era fetish artists such as Eric Stanton and Gene Bilbrew began their careers at Irving Klaw's Movie Star News company (later Nutrix), creating drawings for episodic illustrated bondage stories. In 1946 fetish artist John Coutts (a.k.a. John Willie) founded ''Bizarre'' magazine. Bizarre was first published in Canada, then printed in the U.S., and was the inspiration for a number of new fetish magazines such as ''Bizarre Life''. In 1957 English engineer John Sutcliffe founded '' Atomage'' magazine, which featured images of the rubber clothing he had made. Sutcliffe's work ...

Studio Biederer
Studio Biederer (also known as Biederer Studio) was a French studio for erotic photography, managed by the Czech brothers Jacques Biederer (born 1887; died c. 1942) and Charles Biederer (born 1892; died c. 1942). Very closely related to Studio Biederer was the quasi-distinct Ostra Studio, founded in an attempt to create a separate publishing house. In practice, however, Ostra Studio only ever functioned as a subdivision of Studio Biederer, with both studios referred to as separate yet intertwined divisions under a single management that effectively functioned as Studio Biederer. Although identifying works by Jacques Biederer is not difficult, distinguishing between those published by Studio Biederer and those specifically produced under the Ostra Studio label is more challenging. The primary content of Biederer/Ostra was female nudes, female bondage and erotic spanking. Erotic spanking images were predominantly all female, although some were produced that featured men spanking w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brain Tumour
A brain tumor (sometimes referred to as brain cancer) occurs when a group of cells within the brain turn cancerous and grow out of control, creating a mass. There are two main types of tumors: malignant (cancerous) tumors and benign (non-cancerous) tumors. These can be further classified as primary tumors, which start within the brain, and secondary tumors, which most commonly have spread from tumors located outside the brain, known as brain metastasis tumors. All types of brain tumors may produce symptoms that vary depending on the size of the tumor and the part of the brain that is involved. Where symptoms exist, they may include headaches, seizures, problems with vision, vomiting and mental changes. Other symptoms may include difficulty walking, speaking, with sensations, or unconsciousness. The cause of most brain tumors is unknown, though up to 4% of brain cancers may be caused by CT scan radiation. Uncommon risk factors include exposure to vinyl chloride, Epstein–Bar ...

Body Modification
Body modification (or body alteration) is the deliberate altering of the human anatomy or human physical appearance. In its broadest definition it includes skin tattooing, socially acceptable decoration (''e.g.'', common earring, ear piercing in many societies), and religious rites of passage (e.g., circumcision in a number of cultures), as well as the modern primitive movement. Body modification is performed for a large variety of reasons, including Aesthetic (meme), aesthetics, sexual enhancement, rites of passage, religious symbol, religious beliefs, to display group membership or affiliation, in remembrance of lived experience, traditional symbolism such as axis mundi and mythology, to create body art, for shock value, and as self-expression, among other reasons.

Corsets
A corset /ˈkɔːrsɪt/ is a support garment worn to constrict the torso into the desired shape and posture. They are traditionally constructed out of fabric with boning made of whalebone or steel, a stiff panel in the front called a busk which holds the torso rigidly upright, and some form of lacing which allows the garment to be tightened. Corsets, also known as stays, were an essential undergarment in European women's fashion from the 17th century to the early 20th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries they had a conical, straight-sided shape. This eventually evolved into the more curvaceous 19th century form. By the beginning of the 20th century, shifting gender roles and the onsets of World War I and II (and the associated material shortages) led the corset to be largely discarded by mainstream fashion. Since the corset fell out of use, the fashion industry has extended the term "corset" to refer to garments which mimic the look of traditional corsets. These modern desig ...

Transvestism
Cross-dressing is the act of wearing clothes traditionally or stereotypically associated with a different gender. From as early as pre-modern history, cross-dressing has been practiced in order to disguise, comfort, entertain, and express oneself. Socialization establishes social norms among the people of a particular society. With regard to the social aspects of clothing, such standards may reflect guidelines relating to the style, color, or type of clothing that individuals are expected to wear. Such expectations may be delineated according to gender roles. Cross-dressing involves dressing contrary to the prevailing standards (or in some cases, laws) for a person of their gender in their own society. The term "cross-dressing" refers to an action or a behavior, without attributing or implying any specific causes or motives for that behavior. Cross-dressing is not synonymous with being transgender.
