"We need a house emblem. Anderssen, we want you to devise one."

"Yes, sir. Of course, sir. What is an emblem, exactly? I want to be clear on my assigned task, sir."

"An emblem is a pictorial representation of a concept, like a moral truth, an allegory, or a person like a king or a saint. And since we are all about showing that bondage can be like fetish fashion, flattering, up-beat, elegant... the emblem should represent that thought."

"Yes, sir. How about designing a rope garment for Harriet Cooper, and photographing her on pure white?"

"Good idea. Make it so!"
