Status: offline 		Not sure if I see D/s in Both the stage play and film of "My Fair Lady" or ther book from whence it came, "Pygmalian". However what I do see is a Victorian/Edwardian Houshold. However I have friends who would argue that the relationship between Prof. Henry Higgins and his friend Col. Pickering was one which almost certainly had homosexual overtones and tendencies....

It does have alot of D/s undertones and frankly Eliza was a  SAM.

But she did grow out of it.

I love the movie, though it is below my "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Holly Golightly would have made a good Domme tho. She had a way of controlling people.

That doesn't make every relationship a Ds relationship.

It is a total D/s relationship.

I also have to agree with captiveplatpus. There is something about Rex Harrison that screams (DOMINATE SUB).

I have called my Sir, my Henry Higgins. I often feel like Eliza and I'm loving the transformation my life is taking now that I have my Dom to control it.
