Spankable Saturday--The Birth Of A Legend

June 1, 1926.  It's the birthday of an icon, a model, a singer, an actress.  Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, later changed to Norma Jeane Baker, she eventually took on the screen name we all know her by--Marilyn Monroe.  She would have turned 88 tomorrow.

There have been plenty of biographies written about her life.  I'm not going to try and write another one here.  There have been plenty of books and articles filled with conjecture about her death.  I'm not going to address that here, either.  Suffice it to say that while she was viewed mainly as a sex symbol, she was also a lovely, talented and intelligent woman who wound up leaving us far too soon.

And yes, I said, "Intelligent".  She may have perfected the persona of the "dumb blonde" for the movies, but that was a role she played.  It's called "acting".  The real Marilyn was smart, wanting to learn.  She was smart enough to know what she didn't know and wanted to do something about that.  You can certainly question some of the choices she made in her life, but heck, we've all made bad choices at one time or another.  Don't use that as an excuse to sell her short.

Anyway, since this is "Spankable Saturday", I'm going to do what I normally do--post some pictures of the Birthday Girl.  And naturally, the focus is going to be on her fabulous derriere.  And why not?  Heaven knows photographers and the movies paid attention to that particular asset, along with the platinum blond hair, the sultry voice, and her bustline.

In one of her early films, she had a very short scene with Groucho Marx in a film called Love Happy.  Groucho played a private detective, and Marilyn walks into his office and says she wants to hire him.  When he asks why, she walks away from Groucho and toward the camera, looking over her shoulder and saying, "Some men are following me."  Groucho watches her walk away--and it's pretty obvious where he's looking--and quips, "I can't imagine why."

In the film, Niagra, there is a scene showing Marilyn, shot from behind, making a long walk to Niagra Falls.
After seeing the film, actress Constance Bennett is reported to have said, "There's a broad with her future behind her."

And, of course, in the movie Some Like It Hot, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis watch her walking away from them on a train platform, the camera focused on the Monroe behind, Jack Lemmon comments, "It's like jello on springs!"

Happy birthday, Norma Jeane.  Here's part one of the photographic tribute, ending with that Playboy centerfold..  Part two will be put up tomorrow on "Silent Sunday".

Artful Friday

A couple of illustrations for this Friday.

If this happened more often in the comic strip, "Blondie", I'd probably still be reading it.

In this one, he might not have caught any bass, but he knows what to do when he gets his hands on a big-mouth....

I've seen a photoshopped version of this where her pants are down and she's being spanked on the bare bottom.  It's nicely done, but I still prefer this original illustration.....

The Table Tells The Tale

Notice the two cannisters sitting on the desk marked "Wilson" and "US Open"?

I guess it means that somebody finally had the balls to give this lady the spanking she deserves.....

The Original

Back on May 14th, I did a post called, "Cover Story".  It featured a mock-up of a book cover called, "To Honor and Obey", and supposedly was the "new novel" by artist Kami Tora.  It also used one of the artist's  drawings as the cover illustration.

I meant to include this picture with that post--a better look at just the illustration--but forgot.  So here it is now.........

Fun At Work

Who says that fashion photo shoots are hard work and boring?

Memorial Day Holiday

Take time today to remember all those brave souls who have fallen..........

.....so that you may have freedom each morning when you rise!

Silent Sunday

(First photo--Playboy Cover)
(Second photo--bottom Uncovered)
(Third photo--Northern Spanking, perhaps?)
(Fourth photo--an old favorite, source unknown, probably a spanking magazine)
(Last photo--Belinda-- Spank Me Hard Before You "Go-Go"--Carlisle)

And one more Bettie Page....

Spankable Saturday

For this weekend's Spankable, who better than everybody's favorite spanking and bondage model, Bettie Page....

She Should Have Written It Down

This is what happens to young assistants who get the boss's coffee order wrong!  (The boss, of course, can't be bothered.....it's the receptionist who takes care of these things.)

Now you know why the receptionist is always smiling when you walk in the door......

Now There's Something You Don't See Every Day

Oh, look......an Evil Choir Girl.....

(This treatment is highly recommended for "young ladies" of all ages....)

She's Got The Look

If young Moira really wants to convince her Dad that she's too old to be spanked on the bare bottom with his hairbrush.....

.....she might want to consider a make-over.  The young clothing and the braids in her hair really aren't helping her make her case......

A Rather Noisy Affair

This picture even looks loud!

Mom is voicing her displeasure over her grown daughter's behavior.....and the daughter is clearly voicing her displeasure over having her bottom smacked repeatedly with that very nasty hairbrush!

Does anybody have a set of earplugs?

"A Woman's Place...."

There's an old saying that goes, "A woman's place is in the home."  It's a saying that's reflective of it's time--women weren't frequently seen in the workplace, and the belief was that the most important thing she could do was take care of the home, the husband and the children.

Things have changed, of course.  The old saying no longer applies.  "A woman's place" is wherever she wants to be--at work, at play, or at home.

So much for the enlightened portion of this post.  :-)

I do firmly believe, however, that at times and under certain agreed upon circumstances, that a woman's place is bottoms up over my knee.....

What can I say?  Call me old-fashioned.....

Silent Sunday

Spankable Saturday

"Spankable" means never having to say, "Nice ass".

A Birthday Bat-spanking

When it comes to using superheros as characters in a spanking illustration, two of the most popular are Batman and Wonder Woman.  Batman is always seen as a Top.  Wonder Woman seems to switch between the roles of Top and Bottom.

Leave it to Dave Wolfe to use both characters in this old sketch....

You can, of course, find Dave Wolfe and his WolfieToons in my blog roll to the the right.....one of the best at drawing This Thing We Do (TTWD)!

Breaking Curfew

When your Dad tells you to be home from your date at 11:00 p.m.........

....he means 11:00 p.m.!

Cover Story

They say that "you can't judge a book by it's cover".

I'm really, really hoping "they" are wrong....

Age-old Question

Q:  How many Tops does it take to spank a lady that's been behaving badly?

A:  Apparently, "two", at least according to this old redboard.com photo...

Attack Of The Killer Aunts

All those naughty ladies who were breathing a sigh of relief because they escaped a spanking on Mother's Day forgot about another popular scenario, that of the "No-nonsense Relative" , such as the Strict Uncle or, in these photos, the Strict Aunt!

Sunday Is Mother's Day

A Sassy Bottoms drawing for all you mothers out there.  Sorry, that should have been capital "M" Mothers.

Happy Mother's Day, and all you young ladies (and young men, for that matter) should remember that you're never to old to get a good spanking from Mom......

Spankable Saturday

For the last few years, Allure magazine has done a "nude" issue, convincing some Hollywood actresses to come in and pose for nude photos.  Makes sense, right?  Hollywood has the beautiful celebrities, after all.

Unfortunately (for those of us looking at the photos, anyway), the cameramen who do the photo shoots have perfected the art of showing a lot of skin and little else....which may be why so many actresses agree to do the photos.  Case in point:  the lovely and immensely talented Naya Rivera, who plays Santana on Glee:

A nice photo of a lovely lady, to be sure.  But a folded arm, a crossed leg, and sitting down manages to cover up everything.  Sadly, it's to be expected in a mainstream magazine such as this--it's not Playboy, after all.

I'm still going to pick Naya Rivera as the "Spankable Bottom Of The Week", but it's because of the next two pictures and NOT the one above......

A Naughty Girl Is A Naughty Girl Is A Naughty Girl....

No matter where you go in the world, you'll find some young ladies (and some not so young) behaving badly..

The good news is that no matter where you go in the world,  the cure for such bad behavior is the same...

Just Made For it

Everybody has a backside.  Pardon me for stating the obvious.  And it could be said that every backside was just made to be spanked, regardless of size or shape, although some are more tempting than others.  That's usually a matter of personal preference, of course.

The derriere featured in these photos is very tempting, indeed--and I would agree that it was "just made to be spanked"!
