In 1998, TIME magazine ran an article about porn going mainstream. Well, has it ever!  There are examples of the ho-ification of America everywhere: Stripper classes at your local gym,  The Girls Next Door, and the trend of pseudo-celebrities “accidentally” losing their sex tapes at strategic points in their career. Wikipedia actually has an entry that lists pornstars that have appeared in mainstream movies.

Bondage/Bandage style began making a comeback a few years ago with the now-everywhere Herve Leger bandage dress. Between stripper heels, AKA last years YSL tribute sandal, this year’s YSL Cage boots and the way every designer magically has the same trends each year, bondage, bandages and S&M have left the land of foot fetish and entered housewife territory.

I must say some of these looks are pretty cool, but please don’t wear them if you are over 30, or not in a music video.

Last year I did a post for the M&J Trimming blog on how to create your own Bondage pillow with little more than a few yards of ribbon.

Soon we will be seeing stripper poles installed Elle Decor!
