Percy swallowed hard. His face was red with shame. His little knees buckled. His small hands shivered. But the sweet smell of his beautiful Stepmother's feminine perfume, Her lavishly lacy full slip, and Her determination to control and subjugate him by tempting his innermost sissy tendencies was overwhelming Percy. And poor little Percy knew it! He wanted to resist Her. He really did! (Or so he thought to himself!) But Percy had NEVER laid eyes on ANYTHING so definitively girly, dainty, frilly, lacy and feminine in his entire young life. And, yes, he admitted to himself in these seconds. Yes, he had noticed the Little Girls fluttering about in their frilly party dresses, their stiff, rustling lacy crinoline petticoats teasingly displaying themselves. Their almost nonchalant attitude about their frilly undies. Sooooo...sooooo ultrafeminine. Soooo...Little Girly. When they would sit down and attempt to suppress the bouffant frilliness of their lacy petticoat layers, Percy sometimes would stare...an almost glazed-over look in his eyes. He couldn't help it. No...little Percy just couldn't help it. To mask his little charade, Percy sometimes would join the other boys in their teasing of the little girls in their frilly dresses, at Sunday School, at birthday parties, wherever and whenever he had the chance...why, sometimes even calling them "Sissy Girls!" He especially enjoyed teasing the tomboys when they, too, had been forced by their mothers into frilly party dresses...and stiff, rustling petticoats. Because, you see, Percy reasoned that clothes did indeed make the boy. And as long as he was wearing the trousers and they were wearing dresses, he could tease all he wanted...until he became the stepson who had challenged his beautiful Stepmother on one too many occasions. And when Stephanie Anderson instinctively knew her own femininity and hes stepson's latent sissy tendencies were a perfect scenario for Her to take charge, once and for all, Her sissy stepson's fate would be sealed. And once Her dear friend, Nancy Gilbert, Proprietress of RUFFLED WHITE LACE & PINK SATIN BOWS boutique, had shared an intimate conversation with Stephanie about a particularly effective behavior modification strategy known as "Petticoating," well, Stephanie just knew Her recalcitrant little stepson's unruly and disrespectful days were numbered...Little did Percy know that Nancy Gilbert had been a disciple of petticoat punishment for many years. Ohhhhhh yes! ANY recalcitrant bad boy, unfeminine tomboy, or latent sissy who entered Ms. Gilbert's frilly and frothy boutique, accompanied by a Mother, Stepmother, Auntie, or other Female guardian for the express purpose of feminization...sissification...or BOTH...WOULD BE PETTICOATED!!! No exceptions!!! If Nancy Gilbert agreed to "assist" in the "cultural refinement," as She called it, of a disobedient or disrespectful child, it was made very clear: They WOULD be petticoated...PERMANENTLY. Yes, permanently! No exceptions. None at all. And because the really, really, feminine Little Girls simply adored shopping there simply made the atmosphere that much more intimidating to those who, shall we say, were being "escorted" for their visit to the frilly boutique. The fact that Nancy designed all of Her frillies, petticoats, party dresses, panties, even those adorable little Lord Fauntleroy sissy suits, meant that there was always a heavy emphasis on ~lace.~ Evenings were reserved for "appointments only." And while he didn't know it...yet...little Percy's upcoming private evening appointment to RUFFLED WHITE LACE & PINK SATIN BOWS already had been scheduled......
