Upskirt Fetish

The upskirt fetish has never been as popular as it is today, I found this out for myself, accidentally, in London a few weeks ago.

I was in Covent Garden when it was windy and, as I walked around a corner, a sudden breeze lifted my short skirt up before I could push it back down. The smiling tourists got a brief glimpse of my panties and, although they were sympathetic, I still felt exposed, on display and vulnerable – it wasn’t like Marilyn Monroe’s iconic scene in The Seven Year Itch at all.

Upskirt photography used to refer to fetishists making unauthorized images under a young woman’s skirt to capture candid shots of her thighs, underwear and crotch area. If they were lucky, they might even find that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath. The start of this fetish can be traced back to the introduction of the miniskirt in the 1960s and the opportunities it provided for upskirt fetishists to realise their fantasies just by walking along the street.

Now, the upskirt fetish has gone mainstream. This can be seen in the amount of paparazzi pictures featuring celebrities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan getting out of cars and showing their underwear and – often – much more than that. Some of the time these panty-flashes are accidental but most of the time they aren’t – there’s nothing picture editor’s and publicist’s like more than a revealing upskirt photo to sell more magazines.

I thought about this when I was posing for this topless, upskirt-themed, photo-set and I wanted to emphasise the thigh fetish and sock-fetish as well. After paying attention to my red, lip-sticked pout and how my long red hair would look when I rotated my hips – I swirled my short skirt to produce spontaneous and erotic upskirt fetish images.

It seems I forgot to put any panties on.
