I was in the dentist of all places when I picked up a magazine with an article entitled, Memoirs of a Porn Star. The title was obviously tongue-in-cheek as the photograph was of a woman who looked like she might be in a care home in the 1970s. However, I was surprised to find out […]

Unhappy Halloween
There is something creepy as well as severe about this still of Barbara Rey from the 1973 movie Night of the Sorcerers. Busy week so posts are a bit slow, more soon.

Love, Honour and Obey
I haven’t seen Love, Honor and Obey (1938), although like many of you I have seen the posters and stills that occasionally circulate with the featured spanking. Apparently this movie has not been released for DVD nor is it available on TCM. The reason I suspect is the fisticuffs between the husband and wife at […]

There is a scene in the movie The Notorious Bettie Page where Gretchen Mol, in the role of Bettie, explains to a fan that he can only photograph her from behind. This is because of obscenity laws that prevent any hint of the pubic region or as my grandmother might have quaintly called it, the […]

The Spanky Dance Explained
I have no idea where I found this but I had to laugh. Most likely I saw it on Tumblr sometime ago and no doubt a creative blogger created it. I love the expression on her face. If anyone knows the original movie why not comment.

The Play’s the Thing
Inspired by theatrical spanking posts over at the Spank Statement I did some futile digging into stage incidents of our favourite subject. It wasn’t entirely fruitful and I only turned up one play that was described but not named. I am only sure that it is a real play because it was later turned into […]
