A very useful warning label that helps prevent embarrassing photos being taken of you when you wear them out in public.

Unfortunately, the leggings worn by the folks below did not come with a warning, or else the wearers assumed it didn't apply to them.

Big Spanking Love

Lately we have become addicted to watching DVDs of Big Love, a television series that aired on HBO from 2006 to 2011. It's the story of Bill Hendrickson, a successful businessman in Utah who is also a practising polygamist. His three wives, Barb, Nicki and Margie, each live in separate houses with their children, and share a common back yard as well as a husband. The trials and tribulations of their private lives are evenly mixed with shady business dealings and conflicts with the leader of the polygamous "compound" where Bill grew up.

In such a patriarchal setting I decided that spankings were inevitable, and I though that finally, in Season 2 episode 8, I had found one. Bill and Margie are in her bedroom. He holds her close and asks, "What do you like?"

"When you please me."

"That's naughty, Margie." She gazes at him and nods. "You're a naughty girl."

That sounded like an invitation for a spanking, and said as much to Ron as we watched. But alas, it was not to be. The "naughty" thing that she liked, and what he apparently enjoyed too, was oral sex, performed in front of a curtainless window so we got a very nice view of each of their bare bums. So, by the way, did Nicki, who was watching from her house.

Bill with Nicki, Barb and Margie

But that was only a hint of things to come, and in Season 2 episode 9 we have the real thing. Sort of.

Margie is doing the shopping at Home Plus, a big box hardware store that Bill owns. She stops to chat to Benny - Bill's sixteen-year-old son by his first wife Barb - who is working there for the summer. Greg, Benny's supervisor, walks by and comes over to greet Margie with a warm hug. Greg has recently been transferred from Bill's other store, hasn't seen Margie for a long time, and doesn't know about her relationship. She excuses herself as quickly as possible, but not before another, even longer hug from Greg. After Margie is gone, Greg asks Benny how he knows her, and Benny explains, "She used to babysit me and my sisters."

Greg then asks, "Did she ever give you a spanking?"

Benny ignores this but when Greg goes on to say that she was "the best piece of ass I ever had" and that she would be worth a second try, Benny he shoves Greg into a display of space heaters. 

Out in the parking lot, Bill helps Margie put her parcels into the trunk of her car, and they discuss household matters. When he closes the trunk, he smiles and says her name. Margie looks up expectantly, assuming he is continuing the conversation. Instead, he slaps her bottom and says, "Thank you for shopping at Home Plus." All right! This is looking good.

A few scenes later Margie is back in the store with two large bags, heading to the service desk. No one is there so she rings the bell for service. Greg approaches her from behind, and she explains that she bought the wrong size of furnace filters and needs to return them. Instead of going around to the other side of the counter, he bends over it to retrieve the necessary form. Margie glances down at his presented bottom with a thoughtful look. He scribbles on the form, gives it to her and she hurries away. Benny has been watching, and when Greg looks up and notices him, he starts spanking himself with a wooden ruler that has suddenly materialized out of nowhere. 

Bennie goes after Margie, tells her to stop flirting, and says that his father doesn't want her shopping there anymore. Margie protests that Bill knows she has had relationships with other men in the past, and isn't jealous.

"Your father knows that I dated other men before him and he's fine with that," she explains. "Are you, Benny?"

"Well, he's not fine knowing that you're into spanking them. That you're a big spanker!" he shouts as she walks away.

In the final scene, Margie confronts Bill about what Benny has told him, and asks about not being allowed in the store. Bill declares that he has said no such thing, and has no need to be jealous of what has happened in the past. Margie is relieved. She ends their conversation by saying, "By the way, the spanking was Greg's idea. I never even liked it that much." The look on Bill's face makes it clear it's the first time he has heard about Margie spanking Greg. He immediately phones his partner and tells him to have Greg transferred to his other store.

Wednesday WIN

It's all about butts today.

Butts are always WINs.

Question and Answer Month

March is question and answer month in the blogosphere, and I have decided to join in.

Ask me whatever you like, and if the question isn't too personal or related to astrophysics (not my area of expertise, I'm afraid), I will try to answer it if I can.

Leave your question as a comment or email me.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

From the Top Shelf - The Horsemasters

The selection for today is a bit unusual; it isn't about consensual spanking - but then again, maybe it is. It's a passage taken from a well-loved and often read book from my childhood: The Horsemasters by Don Stanford. It chronicles the lives of dozen young people who are on a sixteen week course to become proficient horsemen and women at a famous English riding academy. The book was turned into a made for television Disney movie starring Annette Funicello as Dinah, an American pupil who is afraid of jumping.

The school was the perfect setting, in my young but perverted mind, for some kinky action with its cadre of stern teachers, strict demerit system, and clearly-defined punishments for failure to live up to the exacting standards of the school. Alas, the kink was all in my mind, but one scene stands out early on in the book. Dinah is giving her assigned horse, Cornish Pastie, his morning grooming while Mercy, the stern dominatrix head girl watches. (Her oh-so-appropriate name was changed to Janet for the movie.) Dinah's grooming kit includes an item never mentioned in any of my Pony Club handbooks, and I've never seen one, although later on in the book there is a scene in which the pupils all try to make one. It's a hay wisp, made from a long braided length of hay that's doubled over and sewn together, and used for an activity known as strapping. Have I captured your interest? Use your imagination as you read on:

Dinah lowered Corny P.'s last clean foot to the floor and slipped past him to toss her hoof pick back into the grooming kit and pick up her hay wisp.... Dinah turned quickly to stand square to Cornish Pastie's shoulder; he flinched and braced himself as she drew back the block of plaited hay and blinked as she hit him with all her strength, drew back and hit him again, rhythmically. Mercy Hale came and stood silently at the back of the stall, and without looking at Mercy, Dinah continued to strap Corny P., putting all her weight behind each solid blow on his  neck, his shoulders, his legs and quarters and back. Corny's ugly old black face wore an expression of sheer bliss; this, to him, was a luxurious massage, it toned up his circulation and turned all his fat to hard muscle, and it felt good.

Mercy turned away and left without saying a word, and Dinah eased up a little in the force of her blows; her arm was beginning to ache, and before she was finished, it would feel as though it were dropping off... and then, before she had quite finished, Mercy was banging on the feed box again, calling in her high, piping voice,

"Yards, please, yards, everybody!"

Dinah gave Corny P. three final solid bangs on his rump.

There! I'll bet many of you forgot that a horse was involved in that scene.

You Completed the Caption

There was quite a stir in the classroom over this photo. Here are your thoughts:


Simon: "Are you sure that this photoshoot is just for a knitwear company, we do seem to be holding canes in an awful lot of the pictures?"

Joey: "I am glad that you had the two boys stand in the back of the room facing the corner so we could see their bottoms."
"I will cane that naughty Joey bent over the desk and you can spank Michael over your knee."
"And, of course, we must switch places after they are both glowing red."

Lady Koregan: Now, I know it's only your first day, but it's vitally important that you switch one of the boys with that pointer during the morning's lessons. They will all try to test you and you must establish from the very start that you will tolerate no nonsense in your classroom.

That boy in the back there on the left, Billy Martin, I saw him at the Malt Shop last night acting the fool until quite late so I doubt he has his homework. He'll do for your first target. No less than twelve strokes. They'll see mercy as weakness. You don't want that...

Bonnie: "Algebra with Miss Hopkins was a real pain in the butt."
Ricky: Do you want to play check(h)ers later?
OK!

Penelope: "You know Carol, I really think you're onto something with your formula. Horseplay equals the square root of strokes with the cane - brilliant!"
"Thanks, Rose! I think we should probably test it further, though. Let's give them all another six!"

Vfrat25000:
Why are we standing in front of this blackboard? We aren’t teachers! I don’t know either.

I have a little secret.
What…Tell me!
Mr. Bendingweather gave me a spanking with this stick last night,
You are so lucky. It took me three weeks to get the “Bendingweather Welcome” from him.

They have a huge sale at Macy’s today. Why do we blow off these juvenile delinquents and go get a couple of new purses.

Why are all of our male students at least 40 years old and dressed like school-boys?
I was noticing the same thing. It’s really strange!

One old teacher talking to another: “Did you give those really cute substitute teachers the address to the spanking party instead of the school? Yes I did!”

I have a big problem Mabel. I got spanked by my husband last night and I can’t sit down.
Me too, I guess we teach this class standing up the whole time. This is going to be a LONG three hours.

It’s March 9, 2013. Why are we dressed like its 1958? These kids will never stop laughing at us!

You look like a “Hussy” in that pointy bra!
Hussy or not I’ll have you know Mr. Bendingweather just asked me to dinner on Saturday.
Can I borrow it tomorrow? I have my eye on Jimmy, the new football coach! I’m hoping for a “touchdown”
No problem. 

Ronnie: You won't cane me too hard, will you? Remember were only acting.

Sir Wendel Jones: I bet they’re all imagining we’re thinking of caning someone.

Abby Williams:
American Brunette Teacher's Assistant: "I was thinking this time, you could cane me over my pleated skirt. After all, when I graded those papers, it was only the wrong answers about the American Revolution that I missed."

British Blonde Teacher, laughing: "No pandering, my dear! It's true that when they had their tea party, they entirely missed the Vicars and Whores theme I like to include in my tea parties! But you have to be clever if you want to make a difference, and you have to have your facts straight, no matter what the theme of your tea party. Teachers are meant to make a difference, and you missed some basic facts, so it's on the bare for you."

Sunnygirl: You do know this is only for pointing right?

Michael:  Hermione's freshman college geometry class. Professor Marguerite Flamme is discussing with Yvette Chaleur, her teaching assistant, the best way to demonstrate parallel lines. They decide to use the cane to raise red parallel lines on a pristine derrière.

Professor Flamme announces: "Hermione, please come to the front of the class."

Six of the best: 
Female teacher on the right."The headmaster has invited me to his study after school. He mentioned to bring the cane."
Female teacher on the left. "He also invited me. When he said 'I wish to get to the 'bottom of your problem.'" And with a wink, "Bare bottom".

Prefectdt: This is my first interview for a teaching position. Is it usual to have to cane the Headmaster, on these occasions?

Minelle: I am smiling so know one suspects me of hiding this cane.

Anon: I really like these country schools and that young man's bottom is going to get kissed by Mrs. Cane and more than one kiss on his bare bottom.

Kingspan: I'm sorry you drew the short straw, dear, but until we started caning demonstrations on a teacher, we could never get the fathers to attend parent visitation night.

A. Lurker:
An invigilator and a disciplinarian - Miss Creant's Academy for Girls was really getting serious about their zero tolerance for cheating policy.

If you cheat, you will get beat was the latest government policy on education.

Student teacher: I think the boy in the back of the 5th row is cheating. Should I administer six strokes?
Experienced teacher: Very observant! You will make a wonderful teacher when you graduate. However school policy dictates that only those on payroll may administer discipline.

Dave Wolfe: "Psst! Excuse yourself for a few minutes and come down to my office-- I got all worked up reading Hermione's blog and need your-- assistance!!"

Hermione: See that tall boy in the back row? I'll call him up to the blackboard to solve these equations and you "correct" him each time he gets the wrong answer.


Thank you all for participating this weekend. I hope you all enjoy a productive week.
