OK, so maybe Katherine and I should change our changing bag/skirt design to
appeal to the bondage-oriented crowd. How about a leather skirt with a
chain at the bottom to weigh it down, and the chain also functions as a
drawstring to turn it into a hobble skirt if this is your pleasure? Any
other bells and whistles we haven't thought of?
