Imogen And Twinka’s Domestic Discipline Moment
So here’s a somewhat unusual BDSM drawing by Tonton Ficelle. I say unusual because, while domestic discipline fantasies involving elderly dominants are common enough, to see a mature woman as the naked and collared slave being punished for a broken platter is much less common:
Somewhat unusual, I said, but certainly not unique nor particularly remarkable. But here’s where things get really interesting: it turns out that there’s a famous 1974 art photograph, so famous it has its own Wikipedia entry, called Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite. The inspiration the photo must have provided to the artist above is obvious and undeniable:
The photo, of course, is not precisely a BDSM photo; but it’s posed in a way that speaks to voyeurism, shame, modesty, and humiliation. I also think it’s interesting to consider the relative dangers of the camera in the photo versus the martinet in the drawing. If the pen is mightier than the sword, might not a lens be mightier than a whip?
Finally, I’m always a kinky optimist when it comes to ambiguous photographs. Who are we to declare in all confidence that Twinka’s hands aren’t tied behind her and fixed to that tree?
