More of a new trend. People trying new ways to look sexy. I figure it's more goth, but I remember seeing similar stuff 20 years ago. It's on the edge of bondage stuff, but not so restrictive.

Kind of like dressing in men's suits, or baseball jerseys, or whatever. Just a different look.

Not weird, hot (if done well) smile  I think the first time I saw it was on Carmen Electra in a calendar she did a few years ago.  Actually, I think it's already starting to get a little cliche'

It's just one more example of the erotic/fetish/porn vocabulary being appropriated by the "mainstream."  I've already sated in a different thread that what we're doing today some fashion photographer will take credit for three years from now.

the chick in "King Arthur" who painted herself bue and wore a strap around her breasts looked damn good! She is also the hot chick who was in "Pirates of the Carribean" and I cant' remember her name. 8-( BUT she had the belt strap look, and she fought in a big battle and painted herself blue, and was defending the pagans and she got to do it with King Arthur........

I think this fad started when a stylist forgot the wardrobe and all they had was a nice black belt and some sorty shorts smile

lol. Or the celebrity stormed through the racks and said, "No! No! No! No! These are TOO MUCH CLOTHES!" and all that was left was a belt.

It all started with men's magazines. When barely enough clothes became boring. And stylists thought they were clever.

But good god... I was so over seeing it five years ago!

I personally like three black layered belts on top of a black haute couture gown by Yves Saint Laurent. Those days over too... but atleast worth crying over.

I just hate the amount of photoshop they are applying on the face... geez... those are computer generated animations.

I saw Brook Burke on E! and she looks great... then Maxim, FHM or whatever mag airbrushed the living shtuff out of her face and body.

What is wrong with this people... turning beautiful people in porcellain dolls.

Sorry... had to vent...

I totally agree. I saw that wallpaper shot and wanted to strangle the "retoucher", lol.  I mean... ewww! What the heck are people thinking when they do something like that? It is SO obvious, SO fake, SO cheesy- and you'd think Carmen would be disgusted with their mutilation.

I find it funny how a model will pose restrained with a belt around her wrists, chest, etc but will not do so with ropes of cuffs because "well, THAT`s bondage and fetish, and I do not do that". -rolls eyes-
