History of Female Domination Magazines: 1900 - 1970

Screen 12 of 14

Leonard Burtman's legacy was the scores and scores of FemDom女性支配 — female domination and Fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing magazines he published over his career.

In the Fall of 1964, House of Milan, initially and briefly called Futura Fashions, was formed as a fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing clothing company in Chicago. House of Milan evolved into a company that today is called HOM. The principal founders of House of Milan was Yogi Klein (a cousin of Leonard Burtman) and Barbara Behr.

In its formation, House of Millan was linked with Burtman in New York. "The Bizarre Costume Catalog" House of Millan's first fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing catalog, was purchased from Burtman in 1964. "The Bizarre Costume Catalog" was a thick digest filled with pictures of various fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing clothing and accessories. Burtman originally published the catalog in 1960. These were extravagantly priced in order to discourage sales. The goal with the catalog was not to sell fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing clothing, which Burtman did not possess, but rather to sell the catalogs.

A few hundred copies of the catalog still existed in 1964 when House of Millan was founded and Klein talked his cousin, Lenny Burtman, into letting him purchase the remaining copies. Klein stamped the name of his new company on the back and he distributed them in adult bookstores in the Chicago area.

Barbara Behr, known simply as Ms B, became Klein's business partner. She obtained financial backing to make House of Millan into a publishing company dedicated to female domination and bondage捆绑 — being tied or restrained themed magazines.
