What Wiki Has To Say About Neck Corsets, Collars, ....
A neck corset is a type of posture collar that incorporates stays. It is a corset-like device designed for the neck instead of the waist, but usually it is not used to compress the neck in the way that a normal corset compresses the waist, except in breathplay (BDSM).
Stays incorporated in a neck corset are specially made shorter ones, used to support the weight of the head on the shoulders, while its corset structure helps in maintaining posture by keeping the chin high and the neck extended. It is often combined with a traditional corset in order to achieve better posture.[2]
Who Wears Collars?
Although in many instances collars are worn solely by a submissive partner in a relationship with a dominant, in some cases the dominant partner or an unattached person may also wear a collar. People across social layers can now be seen wearing casual collars, purely for fashion. Collars used for fashion are worn by both men and women, and made from various materials such as soft leather, cotton, neoprene, nylon etc. often in bright friendly colors but varying from bright, neutral into darker colors. The lining ranges from bare leather to lambskin, to faux fur. The collar most often has a buckle either in black, nickle or brass design, but snaps and velcro closures are also found. Adornments range from plain collars, to decorative stitching, to studs of all kinds to gems to ruby domes and gemocites etc. Attachments are comon too, but often discrete, e.g. a thin black D-ring in front of the collar. The most common material for a collar is leather, and many people use actual dog collars with a buckle. Other materials include rubber, PVC, and metal (typically stainless steel, however, a few sources offer Precious Metal versions). Many collars are constructed with several different materials, and may also be decorated in various ways. Collars often feature buckles, straps and hooks, padlocks and other attachments.
In more mainstream culture and especially in pornography, images depicting women wearing collars are common regardless of whether these women are intended to be depicted as submissive or dominant.
Collars and other alternative clothing can also be found in certain subcultures such as goth, punk, Japanese anime and manga culture, or the furry fandom. These collars vary according to the expression wanted by the people who wear them. In Goth and old-school Punk culture the collars are often similar to wolf collars mentioned above and match their other spike adorned accessories such as bracelets. In the anime, manga and Furry fandom cultures, the collars and wristbands are more often bright and friendly in the design, looking like described in the fashion section above, and though it may also mean they are into BDSM, or have another kind of sexual identity, it is also often used as a subtle rebellion to dominant (regular, mainstream, etc.) society.

About Peacocks and their feathers
Indian Peacocks or peafowl (pavo cristatus) have been domesticated for about 3000 years. Their native range is through India, Pakistan, western China, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
The male peacock sports about 150 of the long "eyed" peacock tail feathers with which most of us are so familiar. These feathers are shed annually during the molt and gathered as a valuable "crop" in many countries through its range.These feathers are actually long extensions of the upper tail covers. They are supported from underneath by the much shorter tail feathers. These feathers grow to be several feet long, but are shed each year just after the breeding season. Each of these long feathers also has a design near its tip which resembles an eye.
The shimmering color of the peacock feather is due to a phenomena known as interference. Each feather consists of tiny flat branches. When light shines on the feather, we see thousands of glimmering colored spots, each caused by minuscule bowl-shaped indentations. This same principle is also responsible for vibrant shimmering colors of butterflies, pheasants, birds of paradise and humming birds. Recreating the unique color of the peacock feather has posed a challenge to artists and ceramists for centuries.
How to tell genuine Swarovski from fake
Swarovski is the leading brand of the best quality machine cut crystals in the world. They also sell figurines made from the crystals, jewelery, pearls, crystal beads in many shapes and rhinestones. So what separates Swarovski from the rest? Quality. Swarovski crystals are flawless, precision cut, and the SPARLKLE. The colours are strong and stunning, they are never lifeless or dull.
Sadly, as with anything of quality, there are many copies and lesser quality elements being passed off as swarovski all over the internet and at any market or bead fair you may go to. Keep in mind that bearing a logo does NOT mean they are genuine as this can, and is, copied. Here are a few things to keep in mind when buying any product described as Swarovski.
- You pay for what you get. Swarovski are not dirt cheap, they simply aren't. They are meticulously crafted and the price reflects this. Anything too cheap is probably not genuine.
- Bubbles are a dead give away. This is a sign of far lesser quality elements. Swaroski elements will NEVER have bubbles. This is simply not genuine.
- Not aligned. The cut in Swarovski is always perfect, due to the high quality precision machinery. Even slightly out of line cuts are absolutely not genuine Swarovski.
- Tags around the holes. Swarovski Crystal Beads have clean holes - there is no 'left over' bits in or around the holes. Very easy to spot and a sure give away.
- The Sparkle Factor. No matter which colour, Swarovski Crystals and Rhinestones possess a breath taking sparkle. AB colours have a lustre evenly with no swirls of colour.
- Scratches and dents simply do not appear on Swarovski Elements. These are definitely a tell tale hallmark of a non genuine element. Stay away from these.
Swarovski provides this detail in relation to the production of their crystals, and forms part of the high qaulity only Swarovski can produce. It is based on this, that we are able to spot a genuine from a fake. When buying Swarovski we have a rule of thumb - expect excellence, accept no less.
"cutting hard materials such as crystal and gems, in such a way that they have a hundred identical facets in several directions, is a very complicated task; each direction of the reflected light must first be calculated by computer, then this has to be simulated in 3D, optimized and finally converted into control programs for complex machinery."
