Fetish Friday

Hi!

Okay, so NONE of THIS is a fetish for me.

I know for some of us it is and it’s likely at one point we all thought this side of us was JUST a kink but we realized that, mmm, noooooo it’s not.

I would like to think that at this point in my life nothing surprises me when it comes to another’s sexual fascinations. I mean, there are the pretty normal ones such as someone being enamored with stilettos or lingerie or leather or eye color. There are also the kinks that are really gross.

But the ones that confuse me the most are the, well, boring ones. There’s this guy on Twitter who messages me almost begging that I wear Vesper Slides during a photo shoot. I’m used to men asking me to wear certain clothes but they all tend to be pretty, well, normal. Lingerie, schoolgirl skirt, and what have you.

But I had no idea what a Vesper Slide was so I googled it.

And this is what a Vesper Slide is:

Now, I would never kink shame someone but literally what the hell.

I’m not trying to be a bitch but I can’t imagine an uglier shoe (sorry Vesper) and I can’t imagine a more Anti-Hannah McKnight piece of clothing.

Why is this a fetish? One will never know. I doubt the guy who requests it even knows. But that’s normal. Well, maybe not normal but what I mean is that usually a kink or a fetish isn’t explainable. It’s just how one is wired.

I am well aware that a lot of what I wear falls into someone’s fetish. I wear leather (some people really like leather), I wear stilettos (some people really like stilettos), I wear… well, you get the point.

None of what I wear, at the risk of being crude, turns me on. I wear what I want because I like it and I like how I look and feel in it.

When it comes to photo shoots I get more creative. I see an outfit, a look, and if I think it looks fun to wear, then I’m more inclined to wear it. What I wear at a shoot is going to be different than out in the real world.

Photo shoots are a chance to dress up, to enter the world of fantasy for a bit.

I feel the need to clarify that even if an outfit is a little out of my normal look it’s not a fantasy. A sissy dress is not reflective of a sissy fantasy. I just think it’s fun to wear a super frilly super girly super cute dress for a few pictures.

An outfit can trigger a certain response on social media. I can tweet something and I can usually predict how popular it will be. Usually the engagement is positive but sometimes I get emails or messages about how the look is not me.

And that’s fair.

If you’re going to post something you have to accept you will get criticized. Sometimes these messages are kinda mean like I’m too old, too tall, too masculine to wear a certain dress. Sometimes the messages are how an outfit just isn’t me or, quite simply, they don’t like it.

But sometimes the messages can be a little… feisty. What I mean is that an outfit can elicit a little backlash. If I post a picture like this:

I tend to get messages about how disappointed (to put it mildly) that I am turning into a sissy. I am not turning into a sissy. I DO understand that this is what a sissy might wear, but I wear a LOT of things.

I mean, this picture isn’t an indication that I am going to be a CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation:

I’m just having fun. Promise.

Depending on my mood I can react in one of two different ways when someone makes it clear to me that they don’t, ah, agree with an outfit:

1. Settle down. It’s just a dress and I’m having fun
2. I think it’s sweet that someone is a little protective of my image
3. Oh I guess I have one more reaction. Please don’t tell me what to wear

Sometimes I think all three things but I will usually respond with something like “I’m sorry you didn’t like the pictures. I promise it’s not an indication that I have embarked on a new sissy/dominatrix/whatever lifestyle. If you have any outfit suggestions for my new shoot I would love to hear them!”

And that is that.

That being said, here are pictures of me in latex from my most recent photo shoot.

Latex looks AMAZING. It feels AMAZING. The power and confidence it radiates and requires and demands is immeasurable.

And yes, I know that it’s a popular fabric to wear in fetish/kink culture. I can’t imagine wearing it outside of a photo shoot or a club. Not that I go to clubs.

One reason I don’t see myself wearing it out in the real world is the effort this dress took to put on. There’s a lubricant that is applied to your skin to make it easier to slip into latex so everything was very slippery. Most of the time I have no trouble with a back zipper but Shannonlee, with the help of a pair of pliers, had to zip me up.

It was exhausting.

But I loooooooove how these pictures turned out. I hope you like them. 🙂

Love, Hannah
