Memorial Day Photo Fun

"Lose pounds and inches fast with the QUASIMODO DIET AND EXERCISE plan!"

I hope all my readers in the USA had a safe Memorial Day.

   

One Million!!!!

 "Yeeeee-OWWW!!  Oh, Sir--that was a GOOD one....."

=========================================

One million, that is.

Sometime early on Friday afternoon, this blog received it's 1,000,000th visitor.....quite a feat for a small blog from the Midwest.  Some of the credit for hitting that number goes to Chross and his wonderful blog, since he was kind enough to name my "Fifty Shades Of Grey Show" post as one of his picks of the week.

The rest of the credit, of course, goes to all of you out there who come by and take a look at whatever I have cooked up for that day.  I've always considered this a small, unassuming (and hopefully, amusing) blog that for the most part flies under the rader.  Quite frankly, that's the way I like it.  So to come up with one million hits will make me smile for the next few days.

Will we make it to two million?  Time will tell.......

But tonight--we celebrate!  Let the spanking begin!

The Fifty Shades Of Grey Show

Just when you thought it was safe to listen to the radio.....

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you've heard me talk about "Radio Spanko", my nickname for a station here in Minnesota, MyTalk 107.1 FM.  It was here that I first heard mention of the E. L. James book, Fifty Shades Of Grey.  Somebody at the station was really on the ball, passing on word of the book to just about everybody at the station a good two weeks before it blew up into the phenomenon that it curretntly is.  Last week, the book showed up as a Top Trending item in 5 states, such as New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.  Coming in at number 5?  Minnesota.  Maybe the state isn't as Vanilla as I thought.

Anyway, because of the popularity of the books, the radio station two weeks ago began a limited on-air program--The Fifty Shades Of Grey Show.  It's four or five women from the station--on-air personalities, mostly, but there's an intern, someone from the office side of things who actually was the one who introduced others to the book.  For two hours (Fridays, 7 to 9 p.m. CST) they talk all things Grey==tje bppl. tje stproes. tje cjaracters amd jpw tjeu deve;p[/  Not all of them are big fans of the book, so you get a variety of opinions and viewpoints on the subject.  The ladies are all intelligent, witty, funny and sometimes downright goofy, and that makes the show fun listening.  They take phone calls from listeners, as well as keep up with comments on their Twitter and FAcebook page.

It's not all serious conversation, as you might expect.  Because they are on the public airwaves, they do their best to keep it clean and not too graphic.  If they think anyone is cutting it close, or going into areas they may be uncomfortable with, they do have a safeword.  (The first week, the safeword was "Elmo"--which is just wrong in so many ways.)

They have a spot called "50 seconds of Grey", which is an excerpt from the book read out loud but with normal, everyday words substituted for the naughty ones, resulting in quite a few chuckles.  The second week, they played  something they called "The Spanking Game".  Before you let your imagination run wild, let me assure you this was very tame.  It was based on the observation that Christian Grey often gave Anastasia gifts, so people were asked, "Would you take a spanking for a lottery ticket?  An ipad?  An Audi?"  One lady who called into the show played the game and it went like this:

"Okay.  Would you take a spanking for a lottery ticket?"

"No."

"How about for an ipad?"

"Maybe one."  (I believe she meant one swat.)

"For an Audi?"

"You could make me red."

The only problem with the show (if you want to call it a "problem") is that I don't think any of the women are really into spanking, or really understand it.  The lone exception to this may be an intern named Marley who, when the "Spanking Game" was being explained ("Would you take a spanking for a lottery ticket", etc), asked, "Why can't it be just for fun?"  Good question, Marley!  It sounds like she gets it.     As for the rest, the appeal to them is very much what I expect is the appeal to many of the book's readers--it's a peek into a whole new world that they have only heard about, but have never dared explore.

The wonder of the book is that it is causing many women to share the books with their husbands, and some of them are trying out things like spanking.  For many, it's revitalized their sex lives.  One caller to the station said she had shared the books with her husband and was now, "Deliciously exhausted."

Welcome to the world of spanking, Minnesota!  :-)

The show airs on Fridays for two more weeks (it started on May 11 and the last show will be June 1).  You can very likely listen to it live streaming from their website.  It's also available on podcast, and I should think the first two weeks of the show are in the MyTalk 107.1 FM archives,  If you're interested, here's the link to the radio station:

Listen to it with someone you'd love to spank!

A Statement Of Policy (Kinda)

  And now, a brief News Flash......

There are a few people out there--at least three, maybe more--who have probably been wondering, "I sent in a comment, why didn't it ever get published?" 

As you may know, I moderate the comments to this blog, so I get to see them first before okaying them to be added to any post.  And I have a few arbitrary rules that I go by.  I'm not going to try and name them all here (probably couldn't, anyway--it's very much a "gut feeling" type of thing)--but one of them is that I won't post a comment that contains a link to somewhere.  I usually don't know the site, and don't have the time to look it up and scan it to see if it's something I'm okay with--and I'm not going to allow a link to a site that I don't like.  I don't think that's being fair to you, or to me.

And I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again.  If you like this blog and want to add a link to it on your own blog or website--thank you, and please feel free to do so.  But DON'T insist that you'll only do it if I post a link to your site in return.  That tells me you don't really like my blog, you just want to advertise yours. 

If I see I'm getting traffic from a blog that's not in my blog roll, I'll visit it and check it out.  And if I like what it has to offer or think it has potential, then I'll link to it.  If I don't like it, I'll just leave quietly.  Everyone should be free to make up their own mind.  Don't try to coerce me into adding your link.

That's about it.  All the boring stuff is out of the way.  Let's get back to the blogging fun.  :-)

The Top Ten List 2012--The Last One

I told you I wasn't going to take months and months, to finish this list, like I did last year, and I've kept my word.  It only took a matter of weeks.  Still, it wasn't easy.  I had to resist the urge to use some of my old favorites, like Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry--two names that have been on my fantasy spankee list for years. 

(Speaking of Halle Berry, I recently rented the movie New Year's Eve, in which she plays a nurse.  There's a nice little moment in the film where she's ending her shift and about to head home.  As she's walking into the nurse's station to in the back and change out of her scrubs, one of the nurses points out that there's a cake and asks her if she wants some.  Halle declines, walking with her back to the camera, and then reaches hehind her with both hands and smacks her own bottom, saying, "Don't need it>"  A really minor moment, but you can bet I rewound it and played it back a few times.)

Like las year, I was determined not to just keep reusing my favorites, and come up with some new names, and for the most part I've done that.  And the lady in the last slot fits that description, too.  I'm pretty sure it's her first time on this list, but hey--if she's good enough for George Clooney, she's good enough to spank.  So Number 1 on this year's list is Stacy Keibler.

Stacy was one of the wrestling Divas of the WWE a few years back, and as any female wrestler will tell you, one of the things that seems to come with the territory is that the ladies of the ring, whether they're wrestlers, or managers, or valets, or whatever title they go under, usually wind up being spanked as part of the show. It always gets a big cheer from the crowd.
 
 

That's Stacy on the receiving end in the above photo. 

Probably her biggest moment, though, came at the hands (literally) of a wrestler named The Big Show.  Not only did he turn her over his knee, he pulled her shorts down and spanked her in the center of the ring!

Any ladies out there want to be spanked in front of, oh, about 60,000 people?  No?  That's why Stacy is on the list, and you're not.
 
In a Playboy interview, Stacy was asked a question about S&M.  Her response was, "Whatever people do is their own business. If that's what does it for you, then that's good. I've never been to any kind of S&M club, so I don't know much about that scene. But spanking's okay. I've actually been spanked on TV a few times, and I don't mind being spanked privately, on special occasions."
 
Frankly, I should think that any time you get to spank Stacy Keibler, it's a "special occasion".
 
That's the Top Ten list for this year.  I usually restrict the list to actresses of TV and movies, with no "reality" stars or models.  But when you get someone like Kate Upton, well, it would have been difficult not to include her on the list.  And Stacy Keibler is a sports entertainment figure, so that doesn't really seem to fit my criteria either.  Wrestling is on TV every week, though, so I have no trouble including her on the list.
 
There are new actresses debuting in Hollywood every year, and young stars coming into their own and making that hard transition into more adult roles.  And there are plenty of established actresses who are still going strong, and the industry is beginning to realize that an older actress doesn't automatically qualify for the scrap heap.  In other words, spankos like me will always be coming up with names to put on their spanking lists.  Celebrities you'd like to spank, celebrities you'd like to be spanked by....who are some of the names on your list?

Back To The Top Ten List Of Spankable Female Celebrities

  We're halfway through the Top Ten fantasy spankees list.  And I promised I wasn't going to drag this out for months and months, which was the case last year.  So here we go.......

Number 5 is movie actress Amanda Seyfried--

  Number 4 is Poppy Montgomery, of the TV series Unforgettable--

Dave Wolfe of Wolfietoons just recently did a post about her, and he's not the only one who is a fan of her bottom.  So Number 3 has to be Scarlett Johansson--

Number Two is Leslie Bibb, star of the TV show GCB--

  That brings us down to the last selection.  I've wrestled with the decision as to who should get the slot.  I did finally pick someone--but that's for the next post..........

"I should never have said he's getting senile....he certainly hasn't forgotten how to smack my bottom!"

More Spankable Celebrities For The Top Ten List 2012

We go From model Kate Upton at Number 8 back to the realm of entertainment--movies and TV--for these next members of the Celebrities-I-Would-Like-To0Spank-If-I-Had-The-Chance-And-If-They-actually-Were-Into-This-Sort-Of-Thiing.

  At Number 7 we have another holdover from last year, Mary-Louise Parker, from the series, Weeds--

And at Number 6 we have movie actress Anna Faris--

Top Ten Fantasy Spankee List 2012

   Number 8 on this year's list is model Kate Upton.

  Normally, models and so-called reality stars don't make this list.  It's usually actresses from movies or TV, and the occasional singer or two.  One look at her pictures, though, and I'm sure you'll agree that Kate Upton belongs on this list.  Heck, she might be the most spankable-looking woman on the planet!

The Top Ten List For 2012

  The last post, with all it's talk about spankings in movie and TV and the mainstream media, naturally got me thinking about that favorite subject:  If you spank or be spanked by any celebrity, who would you choose?  AS always seems to be the case, I have a hard time narrowing it down to just one--although if you twisted my arm and demanded an answer, I'd probably still go with Jennifer Aniston.

  However--no one is coercing me.  And Jennifer Aniston has been on my list last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, etc,. etc.  I don't want to just repost the same list with the same ladies year after year.

  Last year, I started off my list with Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry, two long -time favorites.  After that, I made a decision to deliberately find new names for the rest of the list, women who had not been on the list before.  I had a lot of fun doing it, but I actually put way too much thought into it.  It literally took me months and months before I finally named the last person on the list.  This year will be quicker.  I'm probably not going to do it in one post, or even one post after another, but this year I hope to have the list down in weeks, not nine months later.

  I have no intention of dragging it out again this year.  I will try to include some new faces (or new bottoms, as it were), but I'm not going to be so fussy  about it.  There will undoubtedly be several names that appeared on list years list.    It may be a new year, but they're still spankworthy.

  So, here we go.  I'll start from 10 and work on down, but there really is no numerical order to the list.  I could just as easily call the first lady number 1 as number 10.  The point is that there will be 10 of them--they're not ranked by any means.

  Oh, and let me just stress one more time--this is a fantasy list.  I am in no way suggesting that the people named actually enjoy spanking or being spanked.  It's just a fantasy list of ladies I wouldn't mind having over my knee for some spanking fun, if they were so inclined.

  So, for today, numbers 10 and 9--let the mental spanking begin!

  Number 10 is actress Daniela Ruah from the TV series, NCIS: Los Angeles:

  And Number 9 is singer Katy Perry, one of the holdovers from last year's list:

BTW, in case you're wondering, the word written across her backside in this photo is "RUSTY".    She's not claiming that her bottom is rusty from a lack of spanking, however.    Russell Brand, now her former husband, has the Twitter handle of "@rustyrockets".  It's probably safe to say that, at the time this photo was taken, it was meant as just a little shout-out to him.

Cinema Swats 7 Is Here

  What, some of you may ask, is "Cinema Swats?

  Cinema Swats is a collection off spanking scenes--some well-known, some less so--from  mainstream media around the world.    That includes film and TV.  The collection was comprised of 6 VHS tapes originally, then was later put on 6 DVDs.  Each tape or disc  contained around 40 or so spanking clips, and each clocked in at about 90 minutes in length.  It was a handy way to have all of your favorite spanking moments in one place--and much less expensive than trying to track them all down individually by yourself--and, if you're like me, you discovered some new favorite scenes along the way.

  This past week brought the news that a new disc--Cinema Swats 7--just became available for sale.

  Like the previous discs, CS 7 is a compilation of spanking scenes from around the world.  There are 50 clips in all, including the much talked about spankings from the movie Secretary, the scenes from such shows as Bored To Death and Weeds, along with the much ballyhooed scene from The Cowcatcher's Daughter.

  The earliest clip on the disc comes from 1918.  Like many of the other Cinema Swats discs, this one maintains an international flavor, featuring scenes not only from film and TV in the United States, but from Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Spain, India, Italy, France, Yugoslavia, Sweden, Argentina, Germany, Venezula, Hungary and Brazil.

  For a complete list of all the scenes on the disc, as well as ordering information, you can click on the link in the blog roll to the right for Cinema Swats, or simply type cinemaswats.com into your search engine.  And while you're there, you might consider collecting all of the discs in the set.  You're sure to find some screen gems that will become your favorites!
