Hiatus

There have been times when I've thought about ending this blog - I've had a lot of fun with it and on the occasions there has been positive feedback - even 'though that was less often than I might have hoped - I've had a real buzz from it.  However there have been times when, even 'though I know many people have taken the trouble to log in and read or view my posts there has been little feedback - positive or otherwise and as a blogger you can't help but wonder why you bother.  In the end, I decided I bother because it's good for me and I have to just smile when I get feedback and not be surprised when I don't.

However, right now, there are other issues and other priorities in my life so I may not post for a while.  Not sure how long - a week, a month, three months...  I will be back (even if it's just a final farewell from the blog) and I'm as passionate (if not more so) about the subject than ever so I will be pursuing my interests in other ways.

Thanks to everyone for understanding or, at least, acceptance, and look out for the return..  

Favourite for December

Just to prove it doesn't always have to be about red bottoms (as long as there's plenty of that as well!). I'm sure this girl is actually very attractive but right now her looks are not her concern - the distress and pain showing through her face means that you are left in no doubt that she has been given a jolly good hiding and is now regretting her behaviour.

This will be my last post for at least two weeks so wishing everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.  See you in 2012.

A seasonal reminder

It's a long time since last Christmas so I thought I should remind folk, should you have to deal with any naughty behaviour over the festive season, a short branch cut from a fresh Christmas tree can be a most useful implement.  Nicely whippy and flexible yet strong, and with pine needles to add a certain extra merry sting.  Replace the Ho Ho Ho of Christmas with Ow Ow Ow!

Lloyds

I'm trying to get some work done on a report that I need to present at work next week but can hear a 24 hours news programme on a TV in the background.  I keep getting distracted as one of the big news stories concerns "Lloyds Banking Group" which it is all to easy to not hear quite correctly...

Favourite for November

Something different this month - I've done a few "before" shots because I love the looks of trepidation and anticipation but this month for a classy "after" shot.

The Rigid East / Lupus stable produces a rather mixed repertoire of movies but for me their classic domestic and school scenarios have often had something really special about them.   This scene from their classic Crime In The St Thomas School is practically unique on having no less than twelve schoolgirls given hard bare bottom paddlings with a wooden paddle one after another for their share in the offence.

Previous post on copyright issues

I have withdrawn my previous post titled "Copyright Issues" - it was intended as light hearted comment.

I was really musing  this question

"If a man puts a girl over his knee and spanks her bottom while someone else takes a photograph, who has creative rights/copyright on the results?

a) The spanker (responsible for the red patterning produced)
b) The girl
c) The photographer"

and I hinted that it could be argued that the creativity came from the spanker (for the reason given in brackets above) not the photographer, and certainly not from the girl.  It wasn't meant to be serious but I did publish one sane and serious response.  I didn't publish the others who thought I was denying women's rights, etc.

I humbly admit it would have been better if I had not used a named real person as an example - hence the deletion.  To me, of course, the girl is the very essence of the image and I'm not saying that acting or modelling is not a creative role.  I wish I'd never mentioned it.

Favourite for October

Not much that needs to be said here -  a classic picture on the lines of "Just you wait until your father gets home" - it looks like it could be a long wait with a very unhappy conclusion.

A touch of bondage

I'm not really into the BDSM end of things as a matter of course, but occasionally there is something I see that gets a reaction.  This image is definitely unusual - although actually not all that good as it is right here.  What it's good for is the idea behind it - the idea of being taped to wall provides the potential for a truly original punishment scenario.  What I'd like to see is rather less clothing but the girl fastened to the wall in a not dissimilar position to this with her feet well off the ground before she's given a good hard spanking or strapping across her bottom.  Anyone up for shooting this scenario?

High flying

I used to write quite a lot of CP fiction but in recent times I've been struggling to write creatively.  However, very recently, I had a long flight and was fortunate to be in Business Class.  The flight wasn't busy so after take-off I was able to move so as to have nobody seated next to me and it seemed a good opportunity to do some writing - laptop out, shrink the magnification so I can just read the text on screen, reload a half written story - the rest of the flight was very happily occupied.  I wonder what my fellow passengers would have thought if they'd known?
