- LEATHER & RUBBER COLLARS -

******************************

Collars ... damn, but that word has a LOT of significance in the scene. Yes, they can be decorative as well as restrictive and a means of exerting control, but they have the most wonderful connotations, just by being worn. Then there is the whole aspect of the 'collaring' itself, be it a public ceremony or a private one.

Both occasions when this occurs, have a FAR deeper meaning than does the simple proffering and acceptance of a mere wedding ring, for the very act is intensely personal and deeply meaningful to both the donor and the recipient Because of the location of the jewellery, it is obvious in its meaning ... FAR more so (at least to males) than a ring.

Any male worthy of the name instantly recognizes that the female so adorned, if not his own, is NOT to be trifled with. She is sacrosanct and must be both protected and honoured for herself and her ownership. Is 'ownership' a prerequisite ... no, of course not, but the state of being 'owned' and therefore treasured by the 'owner' MUST. If the outside the relationship male has any character, he will accept what is being clearly stated by the woman wearing the collar.

The images below are concerned primarily with the more decorative and primarily 'scene-oriented' collars made of leather and rubber, and so, most can be removed with relative ease, should they become too much for the wearer to bear.

There ARE, however, more permanent arrangements.

At any rate, enough of my philosophy and on with the imagery.
