No reason really...

I came across this image on Princess Phee's twitter feed (@PheePrincess) yesterday, and it put a smile on my face.  Hope it makes others smile as well.

Favourite for March

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. For me, school CP scenes really don't work where the girl being punished has to bare her bottom. That doesn't mean I don't like seeing the girl's bare bottom.  If they can include some scenes where she's getting dressed to go to school at the start of the day, or getting changed for a PE lesson so we get to see the unblemished "before" view and if they can carry on to a scene where she's retired to the toilets to check out the damage afterwards, I'm more than happy.

All of which, I suppose, begs the question as to why I decided to make this my favourite of the month.

With the one obvious issue, there's just so much about the scene that is right.  I really like the girl - she looks just about credible as a schoolgirl while not causing any worries because she is clearly old enough to consent to being in this image.  She does look like a bit of a troublemaker who might find herself in the headmaster's office.  Her bottom already looks a bit red as if she's been spanked or slippered and then, for some reason, he decided a full on caning is called for. Her uniform looks excellent, right down to the shoes which often let them down. The position is little out of the ordinary - kneeling on a chair is perhaps not something commonly required for someone being caned and if it was being done that way I would have expected her to hold the top of the chair rather than have her hands behind her back. The headmaster looks the right sort of age and his outfit would have him labelled as a member of the teaching profession at a hundred yards. He also looks just a little bit pervy (which, I would suggest, any headmaster caning a girl's bare bottom would be). The cane looks pretty good as well - I'm not sure he's holding it quite right - it look as if his hold is actually going into the curved part, but I really am splitting hairs now. The room looks like a typically untidy academic's office. All in all I have the impression that six strokes of that cane would teach her a very salutary lesson.

Attention to detail

In my opinion too many spanko sites just want to get to the spanking sequences straight away and don't pay enough attention to a realistic build-up - the reason for the punishment, the telling off and so on.  A great example of doing this right was the two naughty schoolgirls in the Red Stripe movie, "Demoted to the Fourth".  In the first scene the headmistress, Miss Hayworth, gives the two a thorough telling off and carries out an impromptu underwear inspection.  

Unsurprisingly, as is the way these days, both girls have very skimpy white knickers under their black tights so Emily and Annabel find themselves demoted to a younger class at the school.

There is evident humiliation for them in having to replace their senior uniform with the uniform for younger girls - grey gymslips, white knee socks and 'sensible' panties. 

It's a nice extra touch before the punishment really begins (although I must confess that I have a personal preference for the appearance of the the first uniform and the opportunity it offered to demonstrate the disadvantages of their inadequate underwear). 

Favourite for February

 

Another classic one from, perhaps, the best era of Janus magazine - the very lovely Cynthia featured in Janus 21.  Janus was generally wary of showing too much in the way of punishment marks but this time they made an exception and she ended up with some distinctive cane marks across her bottom.  You can see a clearer view of her face in one of my earlier posts when she wasn't wincing with pain (although she was looking a tad concerned!) - I always thought she had a bit of the Princess Di look about her (not that we  ever got to see the royal bare bottom with red cane marks across it).

More Movie Bloopers

I've talked before about the little things that sometimes go wrong in spanko films which you wouldn't get away with in Hollywood. This isn't to have a go at these film producers - it's just a bit of fun really, and we do realise that when you've just given your leading lady a sound thrashing on her bare bottom and take a look at the footage, you're not going to wait for the marks to fade so that you can shoot it again without that stray accessory in shot.

The main problem seems to come down largely to tripods, microphones and other people.  Tripods especially seem to yearn stardom and crop up over and over again.

Here's a great example - I mean, what schoolroom doesn't keep a hefty video tripod in the back corner? 

And even in this long shot from AEG, the foot of a tripod can't resist making an appearance.

And who doesn't have a tripod or two in their bedroom?

And when you're about to place your leading lovely face-down on a whipping bench, tie her down, and give her bottom a thorough caning, well there's another handy tripod.

I've used a microphone on occasions when giving presentations - especially in large lecture theatres - but they were usually discreetly clipped on a lapel.  This one seems a bit overly intrusive in an ordinary sized schoolroom.

Mirrors are also rather tricky things to film with.  Look really closely on this one and you'll see the hand held camera filming itself.

However, the biggest problem seems to be other people.

In this AEG scene a crew member seemed to find it necessary to cross bottom-left, just as the hand spanking of the first model, Corey, was getting interesting.  However, what seems really strange...

...is that when the second girl, Holly, is being spanked, the same crew member appears to need to make the same journey for a second time.

In this Xerotics scene we can see not one, but two males in the background as the girl is being told what she's done wrong and what she's going to get for it - one in a suit in an adjacent room to the left and one by the window.

Perhaps if you shoot a lot of these films, it all becomes a bit "same old" but I'm pretty sure if was there and this very lovely young lady was about to have her bare bottom caned, I'd be a lot less disinterested than the guy in the window.

The suited guy also seems not interested enough to watch.  I have seen another Xerotics clip with the same lead model that appears to be shot on the same premises where she is in trouble with her headmaster for getting three detentions.  I pretty strongly suspect that the suited guy is that headmaster just waiting for his scene to come around.

We don't see quite enough to know whether they guy in the background of this one is a cameraman, director or interested onlooker but at least he's looking in the right direction to see the action.

This is a conventional one-on-one scene with the girl getting her bare bottom turned a nice rosy shade. Simple and straightforward - nothing can go wrong.  Well nothing except the spare lighting rigs in the background, the camera tripod to the side - oh, and another model wearing a schoolgirl outfit waiting for her scene to come around.

You'd think that cameramen, of all those present, would understand that cameras tend to film whatever's in front of them.

So, if you thrust you hand-held in for a really tight close-up, there's a very good chance that the fixed camera is going to record it. 

Which is bad enough when you just get your camera in shot, but...

...is probably worse when you become the unexpected star of the show.

With thanks to all the hard working people - behind the cameras and in front (and sometimes, both) who devote their time to making this stuff for us.

Favourite for January

Happy New Year!

I do like to see a good reaction and this one from Institute of Discipline (aka Full Force Spanking/The Lazy Maid) surely delivers that.  It looks like a classic gymslip uniform.  The girl is gripping the desk legs as if her life depends on it.  I love the contrast between the expression on her face as she shrieks with pain as the cane lands, compared to the expression of her tormentor - ruthless and contemptuous. There will not be any leniency here - she's getting a thorough caning and she'll know about it for a few days to come.

A blast from the past

Sadly, over the years, many spanko websites that were once cherished favourites have disappeared.  This is a dramatic break from that pattern with one of them suddenly reappearing.  Laura's Spanking Corner was probably the first site to feature some of my writing other than the ASS and SSS newsgroups - for some reason, at the time, I requested she didn't provide my email address but, clearly, I'm perfectly happy now for people to contact me by email.

The site could do with a drastic update - maybe that will happen in due course.  Many of the links don't work but that acts as a further reminder of sites I used to visit regularly and enjoy.

Favourite for December

Caned at school and sent home for the rest of the week.  It was her first experience of being caned and she was shocked by how much it hurt.  Of course, she only had her thin summer gingham-check dress and cotton knickers for protection but she figured Mrs Evans must have really laid them on extra hard.

To add insult to injury, Mrs Evans had said that if Chloe got sent to her again for such behaviour she could expect a full six strokes with a heavier cane and that would really give her something to cry about.  It sounded like a threat just to intimidate her further - she couldn't imagine anything hurting more than this -but it was quite scary at the same time.

Fortunately, on reaching home, she had the house to herself - for a while at least.  She pulled her panties down to check out the damage in a mirror - the marks looked like they would be with her for a few days.  She knew the school had phoned her mum and told her everything that had happened so she'd probably get another bollocking later and her dad would be livid with her for getting suspended.  For now, she decided not to endure the extra discomfort of pulling the tight knicker elastic back over her sore bottom and she lay face-down on the bed to let it all cool down a bit.  

I have a personal reason why green gingham check has always meant a lot to me so this really is strong favourite and she has got a lovely bottom.  So lovely that I think some further chastisement is probably justified...

Sorry, don't know the origins of this one.

Love Our Lurkers

Hard to believe that we've reached to 15th occasion of celebrating Love Our Lurkers day - the annual event when we hold out a suitably sanitised hand of friendship to all those people who regularly check out our blogs without ever posting a comment.  Also, hesitantly, saying that it's okay to just lurk, but it's okay to comment once in a while as well.  That way, we're more likely to be posting the sort of thing you enjoy reading and viewing.

Just a guess...

I don't know what's going to happen here, but I would hazard a guess that if this guy is strong enough to pick his girl like this and carry her up to the bedroom, there's every possibility that he will be strong enough to deliver a very effective spanking to her bare backside, and she should probably prepare herself to be sobbing and have a fiery red bottom in a few moments time.
