Restored from the original post on dapperkink:
This space was created to record my journey as I search for where I best fit but it was named for the manifestation of my kinks within a sartorial setting.
I see no reason why both facets can’t be share at once…
The weekend brought me back to my childhood home; the holidays have arrived. I spent last night with an excellent friend down in Columbus before return to northern Ohio. This morning was the first day of a weekend antique market, hosted at the home of the Ohio State Fair.
My handsome gentleman friend collects an excellent assortment of finery. While he shopped about, I hit the budget bins at numerous vendors’ spaces. My target: cuff-links.
And I did quite well.
First, I should note, I am moving through everything with the thought squarely in mind that I need to be better prepared for a move, whether just out of the studio, or out of the state… I need to parse down things. I need to need less space.
Cuff-links fit the bill. Their designs can be exquisite; the form, a fascinating evolution of aesthetics and function. Today, I found great deals and an excellent assortment of style, ranging from early proto-designs up through the standard modern toggle design. I also grabbed some bling and enamel buttons, the latter of which to be converted into cuffs and to grace the placket of an altered vest.
Process is an important aspect of my kink; attention to detail is important to process, selling that process as intentional and not simply subconscious response.
I have reached a point in my life where aesthetic detail can bring about a physical response from my body. Details and intent build upon my arousal. Beyond that, it becomes a bit difficult to explain, but I will work on it for future posts.
