Lynda in Leather, C-15
This digest-sized book from the late 1950's consists entirely of photographs. Lynda does not appear to be model, but a woman who enjoys dressing in leather riding habits, leather jodhpurs, leather knee-length, lace-up boots, and leather dresses and coats. Lots of hairspray, highlights, graphic eye-liner and an assortment of riding crops.

The cover describes the book as, "A rare collection of never-before-
published photographs . . . featuring the worlds largest collection of bizarre and unusual costumes . . . modelled by the beautiful and exotic LYNDA."

The remainder of the book consists of a "Photo Section" with models in stockings, corsets, and heels. More than 60 pages of photos in the ebook.
I have enlarged and adjusted the tonality of the monochrome photographs.

Some two-photo page layouts have been revised by placing each picture on
its own page. Also, I re-organized the Photo Section to cluster pictures of the same model or sequence.

MISTRESS by Gene Bilbrew

A Burmel booklet from 1958 is the source for this ebook. This work was
serialized in Exotique. Bilbrew does a fine job of drawing shapely female
characters dressed in bizarre fetish attire, including extreme, high-heeled shoes.


Mr. Bilbrew's story is merely a pretext for dressing his femmes in outrageously exotic apparel. He was a superb fantasy fetish clothing designer and this comic story was a canvas for his creativity.




The implausible plot concerns a maid, her demanding mistress and other glamorous femmes. A panel at the end of the story has a male character telling the Mistress,
". . . You will no longer host groups of fetish-minded people and recruit them to become Communist agents!! Let's go Olga, the F.B.I. is waiting!!" You can see that this story might have been suggested by a headline about the Red Menace of the period.

Mistress has more than 40 comic pages.
