Another nail in the coffin

Dear Blogger User,

We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.

In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary or scientific contexts, or  where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking  
action on the content.

The new policy will take effect on 23 March 2015. After this policy comes into force, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be  
able to see the content that we've made private.

On the face of it, that's the end of this blog.  I could find another platform but I've tried others without much positive feeling.  Of course I often post without using any images or videos but that would severely restrict my output and probably result in even fewer visitors.  Alternatively I could invite people to ask me to share the blog with them but Part of the beauty of this medium is giving people the opportunity to lurk if they're not confident about making themselves know at all.    Right now I haven't made a final decision but I'm leaning towards just giving up.  Sad really.

The downside of the internet

There's been lot written recently about the appalling new laws imposed in the UK to restrict certain types of material being posted on UK websites.  However there is another darker side to internet life that threatens all of us that share any part of our non-vanilla lives in this way.  This article tells a sobering tale that we all, unfortunately, need to take heed of.

Series - One Hit Wonders (4)

Some really nice examples for the final part of this mini-series looking back on girls who graced the page of Janus once and seemed to disappear.  I had wondered if anyone would tell me that they had seen any of these girls appearing elsewhere, but so far, nothing.

The second schoolgirl to appear in the photo story in Janus 41 was named as Kathleen Sands - if you're not familiar with Janus but are sure you've seen here before, well I have featured her twice as a favourite of the month.  She is probably my favourite "schoolgirl" of all time in a school CP story.  The story was a bit odd in that she was meant to have a much worse history of being in trouble than Alicia Thompson who had preceded her into the headmistress's office but poor Alicia got her bare bottom caned while Kathleen just got the ruler and left the office grinning broadly.  Why would she not appear again?

Janus 48 featured the second most popular uniform with Clare Brierly as a nurse who has transgressed and ends up taking the cane on her bottom lying on a hospital bed. She looked suitably distressed and the sequence ended up with a nice shot of her clutching the seat of her skirt as she left the scene.

And finally another that has been a long time favourite of mine - Jacqueline Storing from Janus 50.  A classic girl next door and an impromptu thrashing from her father when he finds she's been nude modelling.  It's very credible domestic scene (except, did she have the looks to go in a glamour mag as opposed to a CP mag?) with the father clearly losing his temper when she swears at him and giving her a lengthy thrashing with the belt from his trousers leaving Jacqueline looking suitable chastened.

So what was the back story with all these girls?  Did any of them ever do similar work again and if not what led them to do it this one time?

Favourite for February

For some people it's the worst part of the whole thing, although it's all been really bad.  First it was the teacher finding a packet of cigarettes in your blazer pocket.  Denying that they were yours and not having actually been caught smoking made little difference - everyone knew the school rule on cigarettes and what the consequences invariably were.  So then there was the long wait and being aware that word had got out about you being caught and much sniggering about it as they all imagined what was going to happen.  Finally there was the awful moment of being summoned to the headmistresses office - heart pounding.  The desperate moments when you hoped you might talk your way out of this and then the realisation that you weren't going to be that lucky.  The headmistress warning that if you ever got caught again you could expect to be caned gave just a brief moment of hope, and then she opened her desk drawer and took out her large slipper.  You bent over the back of the chair half feeling that this was unreal and happening to someone else, and yet very aware that your short school skirt and flimsy knickers weren't going to offer much protection.  And then the first stinging blow to your bottom that hurt more than anything you could ever remember - followed by five more that left your bottom throbbing and hot and your red face lined with salty tears.  Not only your first ever school spanking but the first girl in your year to get it from the headmistress - the shame of it.  And then being taken straight back to your class and having to walk to your desk towards the back of the room, trying not to catch anyone's eye but aware that everyone of your classmates is looking at you and knows that you've just had a good walloping and have been crying.  How can you ever face talking to any of them ever again?
