This post was inspired by the top picture, supplied by Tiptopper, which according to the caption, shows actor Will McKenzie spanking his girlfriend, a fellow performer after a temper tantrum after a rehearsal back in the 1960s. It was a great reminder that in theatre land, historically not all spanking were staged. A friend of […]

The moral majority has spoken
You might have thought that random spanking pictures have only ever been used to advertise films, even when no spanking appeared in them. However it seems that spanking has been used in advertising since mankind started printing. In Germany there is a brand of wine that has carried a spanking scene on its bottle label […]

Three Cheers
Caught a programme on the introduction of sororities to the UK the other day; yes a US sorority is trying to set-up in Leeds of all places.

Noises off
This Abbie and Slats cartoon was provided by Tiptopper. Abbie and Slats was a US comic strip created by Raeburn Van Buren that ran from 1937 until the 1970s.
