Two Of A Kind

Several posts back I cited a poll that some magazine had taken in regard to the female with the most watchable bottom. Shakira and Kim Kardashian tied for third in this poll, Beyonce came in second, and Jennifer Lopez came in first. I posted a picture of the winner, and she was dressed something like this--

it's not the same picture I used in my original post, but it obviously came from the same photo shoot.

Ever since I posted that picture, I had the feeling I'd seen something similar. And I finally figured it out when I stumbled across this photo Mary-Louise Parker adorning the Season 4 box set of WEEDS--




Apparently they both shop at the same little boutique in Hollywood, Frilly Pink Panties R Us.

Both ladies look very fetching in their outfits. Jennifer probably fills hers out a bit more--although that hardly comes as a surprise. Mary-Louise Parker has the edge as far as I'm concerned, however, since she got spanked in an episode of her show, and Jennifer has yet to go "bottoms up" in any of her movies. If she ever did, and the studio made sure to make it the focal point of the movie trailer, I think it's safe to say she'd have a box office smash on her hands! I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen, though.

In the meantime, while the ruffled panties are nice, as a Spanker I think I'd prefer to see both ladies more like this--

And Now, A Word From Our Sponser

Moving On Up

I could almost call this post, "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed....."

A more accurate description of it, though, might be "Light Housekeeping". Or, more to the point, "Changes to the Blog Roll". A couple of excellent blogs have moved from their old digs to a new location, and I've added one new one to the list.

First up is Erica Scott. Always funny, thoughtful, wild and witty with a dollop of sarcasm, her blog is always a great read. I used to always enjoy reading it, but she had her blog on myspace, so I was never able to leave a comment. I'm happy to say that she's ditched myspace and moved herself over to Blogspot.com (the same host that I use for this blog). Erica Scott: Life, Love and Spanking is a must read for all you spanko fans out there. I've updated the link to her blog, so you have no excuse for not reading.

Leaving Blogspot for the dot-com realm is Poppy St. Vincent and her well-written blog, Poppy's Submissions. Her posts always contain touches of thoughtful musings, style and class. And quite a bit of brat. (Don't even try to deny it, Poppy....you know it's true.) Again, I've updated the blog roll to reflect her new address. Just click on the link and it should take you there.

And finally, a new addition has been added to the "Picture Blogs" section. Art Of The Spank is an excellent blog for those who like spanking illustrations. While not claiming to be an artist, the creator of the pictures obviously knoes their way around a computer program and has produced a number of excellent spanking pictures. Click on the link and go see for yourself.

I'm posting a sample pic below from their site--hopefully they won't mind. This should give you an idea of what to expect.

Check out these fine blogs, and be sure to bookmark them if you haven't already done so!

Devlin O'Neill's 3rd Blogiversary

One of the best blogs out there is celebrating it's 3-year anniversary, and since I often go there and leave comments I wanted to be sure to send them my best wishes. Devlin O'Neill's Weblog is celebrating three glorious years, and the blog's popularity is well-deserved.

If you've spent time over there reading, you know ti's much more than a blog. It's really more of a forum. The posts tend to be more like the start of a thread, and the comments that people leave in reaction to the post tend to take on a life of their own. Sometimes it leads to an intelligent discussion. Other times, it turns into a Bratfest. No matter which way it turns, it's always fun to read--and even more fun to join in and participate.

The post on Weblog regarding the 3-year celebration is a perfect example of what makes the blog so good. The post is actually written by Season, a regular contributor to the site. Posts are very often "highjacked" so that Dev doesn't have to write every single word that gets posted. He has plenty of help from wonderful authors such as Season, Michael, Poppy (of the blog, Poppy's Submissions) and others. In this case, Season chronicles the development of Devlin's blog, and notes some of the first appearances of many of the main contributors (and yes, I'm proud to say that the name "Dr. Ken" appears in there somewhere. I haven't contributed any posts, but I've certainly left a comment from time to time, adding to the fun and the chaos).

Once the post is up, the comments begin flying. If you read a lot of blogs, you know that the number of comments can fluctuate a great deal. I get anywhere from 0 to a dozen comments on some of my posts. Pixie, of Spanking Pixie fame, regularly gets 30 to 50 or more comments on what she writes. Devlin's blog, on the other hand--well, the post regarding the anniversary currently has over 200 responses. It's that willingness to jump in that sets Dev's blog apart, whether the discussion is serious or just silly fun.

While you will find many of the same people commenting time after time, new contributors are always welcome. If you have something you'd like to say about any of the posts you find there, don't be shy--jump on in. It's a very welcoming atmosphere at the ol' Weblog, and you just might find yourself with some new friends.

So, happy anniversary, Devlin et al! May the next year be just as exciting and interesting and filled with fun!

Something To Look Forward To

Fans of spanking in movies and on TV may have a little something to look forward to.

First, there appears to be a bit of spanking going on in an episode of Jersey Shore (or as I like to call it, "I Was So Drunk Last Night That I......") The first episode of the second season concluded with a montage of scenes from future episodes, and in one of them, one of the girls wearing tight white shorts (Angelina, I think, although I could be wrong--I don't watch the show that often to be sure) is being hoisted up over somebody's shoulder. Pauly D steps forward and gives her bottom a couple of smacks. The clip ends there, so I have no idea what's going on or if there is more to the scene than that, or if those two swats are all there is. I guess I'll just have to keep watching in order to find out.

Second, if you can wait until December 25th or so, the Coen Brothers remake of the John Wayne film, True Grit, hits the big screen. This is the film which saw La Boeuf (Glen Campbell) take a switch to Mattie Ross (actress Kim Darby). At first, John Wayne (as Rooster Cogburn) approves--helped, in fact, to set the whole thing up--but he then steps in to stop things because La Boeuf is "enjoyin' it too much."

In the remake, Rooster Cogburn will be played by Jeff Bridges. The character of La Boeuf will be portrayed by Matt Damon. Mattie Ross will be played by an unknown actress, 13-year old Hailee Stanfield. As much as I enjoy spankings in mainstream movies, the fact that Mattie will be portrayed by a 13-year old makes me lose interest right there. (I don't know how old Mattie was supposed to be in the original version of the film, but Kim Darby certainly looked older than that.)

There's no way of knowing at this point (unless you worked on the film) if the spanking scene is even going to be in the remake. The Coen Brothers may have found some other way to portray this incident. On the one hand, it is an important scene. It's the moment when Rooster Cogburn stops considering her to be a pest and lands firmly on her side. On the other hand.....well, it's like I said. She's thirteen. I prefer my spankees to be of legal age, both in film and in reality.

I'm guessing the scene actually will be in the film, based solely on the fact that they picked an unknown actress for the part. Some actresses in the past, knowing Hollywood's proclivity for this sort of thing, actually used to have "no spanking" clauses in their contracts. I don't know if such clauses still exist today, but an unknown in her first film probably wouldn't have one in her contract. But again, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Anyone else have any "spankings in movies or TV" news?
