+6 Leather Armor



Recently, I acquired a new leather miniskirt to go with this lovely, french cuffed shirt.

I'm definitely a leather girl. Besides miniskirts and fitted shirts, I'm also a fan of leather boots, heels, and especially leather gloves.

Latex can make me feel sexy, especially in a photoshoot, and spandex can make me feel incredibly feminine, but leather awakens my dominant feelings like no other material.

It's more than just photographs of leather clad dominatrixes that I saw in my adolescence. Leather is armor. It leaves a woman empowered, a fetish queen rather than a fetish object. It's the way it hugs you, the heft and thickness of it, the knowledge that you're actually wearing the same material that you've just used to whip a submissive plaything to tears.

I'm also a fan of men in leather, especially those uniform-like collared shirts and motorcycle pants. Extra points if the front opens with a snap-on codpiece rather than a zipper. It's so much easier to tie up!
