In Japan, the word Hadaka means nude and when it is paired with apron, a particular fetish is described. The term Hadaka apron is used to describe a situation where a person, almost always a woman, wears an apron over over her nude, or partially underwear covered body.Many men love the fantasy image of a maid. The idea of seeing a woman performing menial tasks while they sit and watch, go about their business or lead a more relaxing life is timeless.
When I wear a white linen apron and fix my hair in a vintage style I begin to feel like a fantasy maid; sweet and subservient to a masters desires. I imagine all of those Victorian maids embodying the wildest fantasies rehearsed by deeply repressed Victorian and Edwardian gentlemen. They may look pure but the flimsy, revealing fabric displays their young bodies perfectly.
Today the Victorian maid has been tranformed into the saucy, provocative fetish temptress that is imagined and lusted after today. She is the stuff of erotic legend and has been at the heart of their fantasies for almost a century and a half.
