Fun Fact

In doing my research for a history of denim fetish paper (more on that later), I came across a very interesting little fact. The first modern fetishized object was a Macintosh raincoat. That's right! A raincoat! There was even a society in London dedicated to the raincoat. The group was internationally known. They had a small journal full of letters praising the raincoat. There were even meetings of society members to honor the raincoat.

Isn't that fascinating? The things that you learn!
