Bizarre Honeymoon
This original publication combines the set of 16 Gregor illustrations with an anonymous short story, "The Whip Hand." I believe that the Gregor illustrations and this prose were published in a small single volume in the early 1950s. The printing and circulation may have been so small and exclusive [the cover of the other ebook in this auction says, "FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY"] that none of the original books survive.

The 16 Gregor femdom fetish pictures are on many fee and free sites. The corresponding prose is not. The challenge is text that's as vivid as the graphics. This new and original product takes the superb Gregor work and presents it with a narrative that's based on The Whip Hand. This story describes the activities and characters shown in the pictures. We've taken that excellent text, edited it, enhanced it with new scenes and additional dialogue. The original prose has a formal rhetorical style that is typical of adult materials of the 1950s. Reducing some of the wordiness, we've preserved the tone of the original and made its descriptions more precisely express the pictures' esoteric content. The result is a 12000 word narrative, with all 16 Gregor pictures shown complete and close-ups of some of the best fetish details placed where they're described in the text.

The pictures and story describe a glamorous woman who has overwhelming conceit about her own exotic grandeur.She marries an innocent man and uses him to satisfy her bizarre, self-indulgent whims. She and her pretty sister change into many corsets, high-heeled shoes and boots and use assorted coordinating accessories to punctuate their training of the newly wed husband and his relatives. The demanding ladies have fun captivating and controlling the men at their disposal. As the pictures show, an imperious bride establishes her autocratic dominion of the household during the first day of her marriage.

Readers who appreciate Gregor's art and enjoy narratives that include dominant women, fetishism, masochism, teasing and denial will be glad they have this ebook.

This ebook recreates obscure, under-the-counter literature of the 1950s. It is probably the most obscure item we've offered to date. Other Gregor illustrations were sold in the mid-1950s by mail order by Gargoyle Sales. Most of the historical details are based on inference and speculation. Whatever the actual history was, this product will please individuals who have corresponding interests.


The Dominant Woman by Gene Bilbrew, signed as ENEG-O
This is a tiny volume of 8 early Bilbrew ink illustrations, with one repeated on the cover. The cover reads, "THE DOMINANT FEMALE OR HOW TO TRAIN A HUSBAND (A Tale in Words and Pictures}, FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY, VOL.2."

Actually, there is not much of a tale and less than 100 words. If Bizarre Honeymoon is about obtaining pleasure from a husband, this is about making him work. The pictures show the husband engaged in outrageous labors while his pretty wife supervises his efforts in assorted high-heeled footwear, lingerie, stockings and a corset.

Rare, earlier Bilbrew, I have not seen these pictures on any website.

The ebook consists of orginal scans of a booklet. Although no publisher is shown, it may have been produced by the Marquis Company.
