Sweet Gwendoline

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sweet Gwendoline is the main female character in the works of bondage artist John Willie and possibly the most famous bondage icon after Bettie Page. In Willie's drawings and comic books, Gwendoline appears as a rather naïve blonde damsel in distress with ample curves, who is unfortunate enough to find herself tied up in scene after scene.

In Germany, the pop punk band Die Ärzte recorded the song Sweet, Sweet Gwendoline that introduced her to a large part of the population that otherwise had no contact to the BDSM subculture.

In 1984, the stories were loosely adapted in The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak, a movie by Just Jaeckin starring Tawny Kitaen in the role of Gwendoline.
