	TSR : Web boards : M/s D/s O&P : "O dress Roissy" 1 2 O dress Roissy (15) This post is on the M/s D/s O&P web board. Sun 14 Nov 10, 10:18 AM 727-021-835 US(CT), 20 mths Would anyone know where I can purchase a copy of the dress that O wore at Roissy. Those who have read the book will know this dress from THE STORY OF O, those who have not read the book Shame on you its the most wonderful story and not one profanity. I have seen a few sites but unfortunately they are inferior copies. There must be a good tailor or a site that makes this dress. 14 Nov 10, 10:49 AM slavegirl_petra NL, 8 yrs Hello, There is a firm in Germanay.

Really? In my opinion The Story of O fails to live up to its reputation, both as a reference point in BDSM and as a novel. Parts of it encouraged the misconception that BDSM is about mindless abuse. That misperception is especially reinforced in the first half of the book, as the character, O, didn't need to be trained to surrender, because from the outset she was extremely tame, yet is subjected to whippings that she neither needed nor enjoyed (her character generally doesn't respond to the pain like a masochist would, finding it pleasurable). As a novel, The Story of O is sadly lacking. It is not well written - or at least not very well translated - and O herself sometimes lacks any real depth. The plot is too simplistic and poorly constructed. O gets severely whipped several times, and a night's sleep alone is enough for her to totally recover(?) That is an example of some of the painful (pardon the pun) absurdities contained in it. I also immensely dislike the fact that O is shared, not least because it's definitely not a common practice in real life maleDom/femsub Dynamics. The Story of O does portray certain aspects of D/s very well. What immediately comes to mind, of course, is the representation of some of the symbols of ownership and possession, worn by O and other subs/slaves. Also, some of the deference, especially in speech, shown by O to Sir Stephan. Also the deference in both speech and behaviour shown by his maid/housekeeper. But, overall, I think that The Story of O exists largely on a novelty factor. But that's just my own, personal opinion.

I thought I must have been the only person on here who thought that 'The Story of O' was an awful book as I've heard it praised so many times by people. I started reading it and then gave up half way through as I thought O was such an annoying character and I couldn't stand the seemingly mindless punishments she has to undergo. If the future seems overwhelming, remember that it comes one moment at a time....Beth Mende Conny 14 Nov 10, 10:28 PM 250-140-386 US(NV), 20 mths Glinda wrote: DapperDom wrote: 727-021-835 wrote: ...those who have not read the book Shame on you its the most wonderful story and not one profanity.

Definitely not a must see in my opinion. 14 Nov 10, 11:57 PM 000-671-955 CA, 7 yrs Y! 727-021-835 wrote: O dress Roissy Would anyone know where I can purchase a copy of the dress that O wore at Roissy.

I have seen a few sites but unfortunately they are inferior copies. There must be a good tailor or a site that makes this dress. As my namesake, the Story of "o" is one that Master and i enjoyed when we were going out, and from that Master understood that i did have feelings for this type of Lifestyle. In any movie there is embelishment and people should realize that it is not taken for an exact blueprint to follow, but to see how Masters and slaves interact when a Group or Society set out to live their lives in that type of realm. There are places to have the dress you are looking for, depending on how detailed and how much of an expense you are willing to go. There are a few on Ebay that produce these dresses, and the measuring required which is quite detailed that should ensure a good fit as Master had one made for me. i hope this helps. Master's "o" 671955 15 Nov 10, 3:07 AM AnonMoos US, 5 yrs I enjoyed the first part of the book as a pure fantasy scenario, but after Sir Stephen enters, the book becomes much less interesting to me. And at the end, Reage seems to have no idea where to go next, and so tacks on a rather unsatisfactory minimal non-conclusion conclusion. There's very little on the joy of ownership / being owned in a semi-stable relationship. It's definitely a classic of literature in the field (and far more positive and useful than any of de Sade's writings), but not a practical guide... 16 Nov 10, 2:37 PM pet_ka_MJ CA, 2 yrs As someone who reads extensively... I found the "Story of O" poorly written, on many levels, and gave up trying to finish it. Given that the story was written as a gift to her lover, the book is what it is. I hope he, at least, enjoyed it. "With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity." ~ Keshavan Nair 17 Nov 10, 8:24 AM 727-021-835 US(CT), 20 mths Thank you to those who have helped with the issue of the O dress and where I might purchase one . Also thank you for the comments left regarding the book THE STORY OF O. It is amazing how this book can either be an inspiration and for my part a catalyst in my life as I read this book when I was very young, I found it incredibly erotic and something inside of me connected strongly OR can have the opposite effect with those who find it unbelievable and poorly penned. I guess it is like Marmite you love it or hate it. 5 Jan 12, 1:37 PM FanceeFreak US(NJ), 12 mths I respectively disagree with your assessment. You state that she doesn't get any pleasure from her bearings. When my Owner beats me, I cry and scream like O does because it hurts. However if you felt my pe pussy afterwards, it would be soaking wet. I looove to be beaten it is my reward not my punishment. And given the enthusiasm with which she has sex I am sure she enjoys it as much as I do. You also say she seems submissive at the beginning of the film. When my Owner first collared me I wasn't particularly aggressive either. I didn't have to be broken I just had to be trained to please him. I was psychologically ready for the power exchange. I have read the book and seem the film countless times. My greatest despite is to serve my Owner as well as O does. She it's my getup! Next page
