In our own times of Orwellian data surveillance, facial recognition software and the increasing blur of our IRL/URL selves, it’s no wonder that the potent symbol of the bondage hood has become the fashionable way to express our collective, existential angst – and further, no surprise that numerous cultural satirists, have cleverly recognised the garments potential to reflect the zeitgeist. By concealing and taking away the wearer’s most defining and characteristic features, rendering them anthropomorphic and not recognisably human, the mask’s anonymity becomes a blank slate to project the fears and anxieties of the age- particularly ones surrounding desire, identity, gender, power, and surveillance. The enduring appeal of the gimp mask seems to lie in the object’s very facelessness. Bierendonck’s love of face obscuring garb even saw him co-curate the exhibition The Power Of Masks – featuring work from Jean Paul Basquiat, Cindy Sherman, and Picasso- at the esteemed Wereldmuseum, Rotterdam in 2017. The other Belgian, Walter Van Bierendonck has explored the gimp masks’ many guises since the 1980sfrom homoerotic symbol, sci-fi fantasy characters and colourful latex, Mexican wrestler inspired creations. Martin Margiela first tapped into the Jungian possibilities of the identity concealing garment at his debut collection for spring/summer 89, the omnipresent motif reappearing again in the jewel toned decadence of autumn/winter 95, the sheer, skull like offerings of spring/summer 96, the Maison’s anniversary collection in spring/summer 09 and the bizarro-baroque ornamentations of spring/summer 2014- the same year John Galliano became head of the label.

She put some fierce legs on my nipples then spent 10 minutes or so teasing and tormenting my rigid cock.įinally relenting, she allowed me to beat myself off.Īs a reward after my amazing orgasm she removed the eye mask and ball gag and say on my masked head, ordering me to pleasure her with my tongue until she came, shuddering, over my face. The mask made it impossible to know what was coming next.Įventually she was satisfied and told me to lie down on my back on the cool, wooden floor. Sometimes soft as she dragged the leather things over my burning cheeks and sometimes a blow that had me cringing. Not knowing when or where the next blow was coming from was amazing. She proceeded to whip, smack and came my ass until it was, in her judgrment, a satisfactorily fiery red. She obviously has a crop, paddle and our long leather flogger all to hand. Now I am partial to a light spanking but with the mask on what followed proved to be a far more intense experience! She ordered me, naked except for the mask and a cock ring, to get on my hands and knees on the bed. My hearing was dulled such that I could hear her orders but not hear her as she moved around. The eye and mouth holes were perfectly positioned so she made sure the ball gag was correctly in place, tightened up the buckles on the mouth strap then put the eye mask over and likewise fastened it in position.Īll was blackness and my mouth being full of the gag meant I could only grunt.
