The ladies in the room who had listened intently to Madame Chadwick were stunned. "OMG," exclaimed ~L~ynn's friend, Angie. "Do you mean your own personal maid, Brigitte, went to work for Ms. Anderson, Madame?" "Yes, Dear!" Madame responded. Brigitte left that evening with Ms. Anderson and little billy anderson. She actually worked as Ms. Anderson's personal maid to her stepson for several years. She was employed to specifically petticoat and sissify billy. My Mother had known Brigitte through a mutual friend of hers. And even though I was a girl, I had made the fatal mistake, at least in the eyes of my Mother, of acting too tomboyish. So I, too, was petticoated. It was not uncommon to petticoat tomboys as well as recalcitrant little boys and, in billy's case, bad boys with latent sissy tendencies. Brigitte had been trained by a Mademoiselle Deschamps in Paris. My Mother knew Madame Deschamps and quickly became interested in petticoat discipline. My Mother did not actually practice it directly, however, until I left for college. She had, however, overseen its successful implementation on me. And...of course, on little billy. "How long were you petticoated, Madame?" asked the beautiful Dr. Jennifer Haynes. "I was fist petticoated at the age of nine and did not graduate from little girl-style party dresses and petticoats until my sixteenth birthday," Madame responded. I was home-schooled by a Governess. And after Brigitte left to join Ms. Anderson and billy, Brigitte's twin sister, Colette, was employed by my Mother to personally supervise my own training to be the perfect little girl. Occasionally, Mother's ladyfriends would bring one of their sons to our home for Sunday tea and, of course, I would be properly frocked and petticoated for the ladies and their little male charges to see. But my experience with little billy was the only time I actually saw my Mother use her expertise and put a boy in petticoats. I must say, dear ladies, I was mesmerized by the power and almost hypnotic control my frilly party dreses and petticoats had on those poor little unsuspecting sissies who would come to visit my Mother. But I loved it! I remember at the age of fifteen being forced to wear one of he daintiest and frilliest little party frocks I can ever remember wearing. White bridal satin. Lacy. VERY lacy. And the skirt was extremely full and billowing. My
Mother had ordered me to wear a six-tiered starched crinoline bouffant party slip and TWO six-tiered matching starched crinoline petticoats. I had never heard or felt my skirts rustle like that in my life. Never. I was so embarrassed...at the age of fifteen! But I dared not disobey my Mother. The guests that Sunday afternoon were a lady and her 11-year-old nephew. His name was Percy. A little on the smallish side. I was bigger than Percy. The lady was his Aunt Helen. She was beautiful. She made Percy sit on the sofa right next to her. As I served tea, I knew Percy couldn't keep his greedy little eyes off my lace petticoats. And my dainty little party dress, of course, was so short and so frilly I couldn't conceal my pettis. I remember as I served Percy's tea to him, I took my time, slowly taking his tea cup and saucer, asking hin how much sugar he wanted, and then slowly pouring the hot tea into his cup. When I asked the little boy if there was anything else I could get for him, he just stared at me. At my swishing lacy petticoat hems. I giggled. And in my girliest voice possible, I asked him if he liked my petticoats. It caught Percy by surprise. His Aunt laughed. Percy just froze. So I move closer to Percy, took my right hand, and raised the white satin skirt of my party dress up just a bit to reveal my lacy petticoat layers. I fingered the lacy hems, commenting to Percy that "Little boys just don't know what they're missing. Isn't it a sham that they can't wear frilly party dresses and petticoats, too? They are ever so much more fun than those dull old trousers." That poor boy broke out in a cold sweat. And when his Aunt Helen asked me to join him on the sofa, I finished serving tea, returned to the spot on the sofa beside Percy, slowly smoothed out my skirts before sitting down, and squeezed in right next to him. It was so funny. My billowing petticoats spilled out all over Percy's lap. And because he was wearing short shorts, the lacy hems covered his little hairless legs. I laughed at his predicament. He didn't know what to do. Sooooo........I fingered MY lace as the petticoats rested on HIS legs. I slowly grabbed one of his trembling little hands, he was weak.....so weak....like a sissy.....and 'invited' him to touch MY lace. He tried to resist. But it was obvious he was a sissy. That 'deer-in-the-headlight look of fear in his eyes. And his inability to resist. So I forced him to finger my lace while I commented...again...how much more fun it was to be a girl. And when he tried to remove his hand from the pile of white lace and net, I stopped him. I made him keep his hand right there, buried in my lace..."
