Last week I became aware of a problem.  When I went to publish my fic Lace and Blood I thought I’d find a nice picture of, well, lace and blood to go with it. This would be pretty easy, I figured, surely there’s a whole aesthetic for it, so I fired up google images to find the perfect mix of delicate and violent.

After I excluded all the results for a 1971 B-movie of the same name, I found pictures of… 

  • yarn
  • cupcakes
  • one boot
  • fanart of Dirk Strider
  • DIY patterned pumpkins

Uh.

Not what I was looking for.

So I bought some lace, used up all the red food coloring in the house, and took it upon myself to fix this appalling lack because really, internet?  Really, other kinky photographers?  Nothing??

Anyway, here is one small step towards rectifying what I’m sure is a terrible systemic issue.  I’ll be posting some more over the next few days, so watch out for them if that’s your thing!
