"Perverts Wear Purple" - Jan 21
NATIONAL FETISH DAY ---- "Perverts Wear Purple" Wednesday January 21, 2009 :http://www.londonfetishscene.com/News/Ne What is it about and why should anyone join in? I'll explain… Back in October 2007, a discussion was started on an Informed Consent website forum board as to whether 'fetish' should be allowed to have a National Day, considering that so many other causes and/or beliefs were celebrated with their own National Day. The discussion developed and the people contributing to the thread slowly started to furnish the idea. No committees or focus groups were formed. No meetings were held. No positions of responsibility were allocated. Instead, like-minded individuals from all walks of life, from all over the country contributed their feelings towards the idea of unity. Slowly the concept became more and more realistic. People decided that the vision of a National Fetish Day was something that could really happen. A date was chosen that gave enough time to spread the word of what the day stood for. The next big problem was as to how people with a fetish could celebrate their ideas and life choices; a slogan was born, “Perverts Wear Purple”. Why purple? Purple is a colour that is heavily represented in BDSM/fet art, style and clothing. Purple is a colour that is still unusual enough to be different yet common enough to be deniable... so no-one wearing purple needs to be scared they are automatically outing themselves. Finally, it sounds good in a catchy slogan! Whether silk bikinis, slacks, shirt, scarf, sweater, skirt, or something else (even a rope dress or leather restraints) START WEARING PURPLE! You've got it; flaunt it! Of course, for some, wearing purple is a more than a once-a-year occurrence, as is being a pervert! Some people are enchanted with purple. As red is associated with passion, purple links to fantasy, unreality. |
