As you maybe know from one of my previous posts (A Gift for Adele), I collect whips, especially the riding whips. Maybe it’s a odd hobby for a horse, but if you think about it a little, it makes sense ;-)
Recently I acquired three new vintage riding whips. If the top two don’t look like that on first sight, it’s because they don’t have the lea
Two of them are interesting by being foldable. The whip consists of several parts, each being about 30 cm (12”) long. They can be screwed together in any combination to make desired length and to allow easier transport.
The idea is interesting and the craftmanship impressive, but these whips are generally not useable for a spanking. They are pretty rigid and the connecting mechanism isn’t in a top shape now, after some 90 years. Remember, when riding, you are generally not expected to actually whip the horse. Although unruly horse can of course earn a swift lash sometimes, whip is generally meant more as a tool of signalling and communication.
Modern exploration of the pocket-size whip idea can be seen in a another whip from my collection. This one is made from plastic and is retractable, like telescopic antennas. I’ve got it from a friend of mine as a present and I keep it handy most of the time, as it permanently resides in my laptop bag (causing amusing scenes at various security checkpoints, which is of course another story). It can be used as a nice surprise when someone keeps teasing you while expecting that you don’t have any suitable argument of physical nature nearby.
Although this whip looks quite fragile, it can be used for spanking with surprisingly positive results. Of course, it’s not intended to give full-force lashes (it tends to fall apart when you hit hard). But the end of the whip is surprisingly flexible and the rubber slapper is pretty heavy. So it could render impressive sting, when properly used on naked skin.
In case of some iron-butt spankees, you may be required to use more substantial tool or be more imaginative in choosing the body part being coaxed. But generally I can recommend this tool as good for mobile percussive attitude adjustment scenarios.

In my other life, I was tagged by the “Seven deadly sins” meme. To protect the innocent, I will withold who tagged me, because I want to transfer this meme to the spanking world. I think that the idea of sins, even the seven deadly ones, correlates pretty well with the BDSM topic.
In this meme you are supposed to answer seven questions in each of seven topics related to seven biblical deadly sins of anger, sloth, gluttony, lust, greed, pride and envy. Then you tag three more bloggers, who are supposed to answer next round.
So, my answers are as follows:
Anger
- With whom did you last get angry?
Really angry? I don't remember, I do not get really angry often. It's more fun to pretend it! - What is your weapon of choice?
Sharp words and irony. - Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
Of course, I have an equal opportunities policy in this area. - How about of the same sex?
Equal means equal. - Who was the last person who got really angry at you?
I suppose it was my girlfriend around the time she decided to became my ex-girlfriend. - What is your pet peeve?
Bureaucracy and stupidity in any form. - Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
I let them out as soon as possible, usually with a pretty loud sound effects.
Sloth

Family members, all the time. - What is the last lame excuse you made?
“I had some problems with my computer…” - Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones)?
Yes, I like to watch them (once each), they're funny! - When was the last time you got a good workout in?
Umm, I don't remember when exactly, but I remember the whip marks I had afterwards! - How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?
I don’t usually wake to alarm. And when this case arises, it’s something really important not to miss, so I don’t use snooze at all. I’m not even sure that my PDA has the snooze function.
Gluttony
- What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
Pepsi isn't overpriced! - Meat eaters: white meat or dark meat?
Depends on mood, but generally white, chicken if possible. - What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event?
About half of glass of mead. I prefer to have more elaborate sins than simple alcohol. - Have you ever used a professional diet company?
No. - Do you have an issue with your weight?
No, although some other peope have ;-) - Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods?
Sweets. And spicy foods if I'm in that mood. - Have you ever looked at a small housepet or child and thought, LUNCH?
No, I'm afraid of children and regarding of small animals, my wolfdog is in charge when comes to eatimg them.
Lust
- How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)?
Around hundered. - How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)?
Does harness count as naked? If yes, then whole Internet :) About ten, otherwise. - What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice?
Shoulders, back and where the back loses its good name. - Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation?
No, I don’t care much about chest and crotch and the parts I'm interested in aren't usually evident during a normal conversation. - Have you done it?
Yeah. Although I was technically virgin until some 21 years of age. - Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?

Have you ever dreamed about how sweet is life of a spanking movies producer? You can film the movie exactly how you like it. Cast only the pretty girls, make plot which excites you… Well, think again.
You are not alone
First of all, every movie is collaborative effort.
The screenwriter writes the basic story line and brings it to the producer. Producer tears off the core of the story, wishes to emphasize some marginal detail he’s focused on, so the screenwriter must painfully tie all the loose ends together and the result is not as much satisfactory for him as the first draft was. But that’s life.
Then comes the director’s turn. He takes the finished screenplay and does artistic projection of the story into reality (he says) or deliberately screws the story due to personal hate (screenwriter says).
Now the actors and cameraman come. They also have their own view of the story, the characters. Their intentions and acting skills (of lack of the aforementioned) also influence the final result.
Next in line is editor. On the verge of madness from some ten hours of raw, poorly indexed material, which only very loosely resembles the original script. So he is here to use all his skill and raw computing power to make some movie, without too much obvious discrepancies. Being former editor myself I can tell that fortunately, you can get away with nearly anything. I once from sheer necessity used the same shot twice in the same movie, once mirrored, slowed-down and digitally zoomed and nobody noticed :-)
Then the music arrives. Especially when you have original composed score for a movie, the music can change the mood and final feeling more than it seems.
And now you have the result of collective effort and likewise collective frustration. We tried to capture the feeling a little in several movies for you:
- The Deep Imact
Sometimes screenwriter's and director's imaginations differ and this divergence can have deep impact on poor girls, executor, his assistants and even willow birches... Movie about difficult life of famous spanking screenwriter. - The Great Role
Being a beginning actress, what would you do for getting a first role in a big movie? Before you say "anything", we recommend you to watch this movie!
Be careful what you wish for
Usually you can project your preferences into the final movie somehow. And here comes the second problem. Wanna get rid of your perversions? Make them your full-time job. Ever wanted to have enough of nice big pictures to enjoy them? How about several thousands of them, in raw camera resolution, taking impressive stack of DVDs when burned, and when you’re required to sort them?
And there is one further potential problem: you can become prisoner of your dreams. Shoot the same scenes and movies repeatedly and start to be boring. Shooting something else than your customers want to see (and what they’re willing to pay for).
We want to hear your voice!
We want to hear your voice now. Imagine that you are in charge. That you want to shoot the best spanking movie ever – at least according to your personal opinion, taste and kink.

- The survey will run for two weeks. I wil close it on October 8th, 2008 (midnight of local time and I don’t know where I’ll be then, so don’t wait).
- The discount coupons and free movies will be sent in a week after closing.
