An alert reader sent Bondage Blog the following link, to a few pages from a 1939 Life Magazine as featured at Modern Mechanix. In this bit of repurposed industrial press release, we have proto-fetish at its finest. The joys of shrink wrap, bagged girls, slave sacks, gunny sacks, latex mummification and balloon fetishes, even the modern vacuum bondage bed, all to celebrate the greater glory of frozen meat and poultry! (Or, I guess, to give you an excuse to play with the pretty model your ad agency rounded up for the demo.)
But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Here’s the setup:
Meat or poultry to be frozen is wrapped tight in a latex balloon which keeps it from drying out, makes an attractive wrapping. To demonstrate this scientific accomplishment the makers of Cryovac can seal a pretty girl in one of their containers, as shown here. A pretty girl steps inside a latex balloon which has been inflated, then chilled so it stays stretched in large size.
“A pretty package results as the Cryovac bag is sprayed with warm air. This thaws the latex and shrinks it, leaving the bathing girl in a taught, transparent wrapping.”
Oh, indeed it does! But tell me please, why does she need her bathing suit at this point?
As if all that were not enough, they included a special bonus photograph of our pretty victim model sealed inside an inflated Cryovac balloon:
