French Maid - Wear

Wear

The costumes are frequently worn to costume parties, and also used in drama/theater. They are sometimes worn for sexual roleplaying or by BDSM practitioners, either on brief occasions, or as a routine form of servitude to the dominant partner.

Among cross-dressing female-dominated men, there is also an extensive Sissy subculture with men roleplaying as submissive "sissy maids" wearing a feminine French maid costume.

French maid costumes also feature in mainstream media from time to time. Notable films include:

  • Joanne Whalley in The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)
  • Colleen Camp as a French maid in Clue (1985), a murder mystery spoof in which she becomes a suspect, and later, a victim
  • In Friends with Money (2006), Jennifer Aniston dresses as a French maid for her boyfriend
    • Aniston played the maid seductress again in a guest role on the 3rd episode of the 3rd season of the NBC TV series 30 Rock.
  • On the Desperate Housewives series, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) wears a French maid outfit she bought at a lingerie store to spice up her marriage.
  • Lumiere's girlfriend in Disney's Beauty and The Beast, depicted in enchanted form as a feather duster with a resemblance to a French maid

Famous quotes containing the word wear:

    “On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “No throne exists that has a right to exist, and no symbol of it, flying from any flagstaff, is righteously entitled to wear any device but the skull and crossbones of that kindred industry which differs from royalty only businesswise-merely as retail differs from wholesale.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have
    To wear away this long age of three hours
    Between our after-supper and bedtime?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
