In a couple of weeks this blog will celebrate its 16th anniversary, who would have ever thought it? As usual I will post a host of pics on that day, but I will also likely write about the changes in blogging over the years and of course the upcoming age change to 60 years old that I will have in 2023. The pics will be posted first as I know that many people don’t go to spanking blogs to hear a bunch of drivel 🙂

This week I am delving into my newspaper clippings folder for a couple of dandy’s.

The first image is from the favorite tale from the 1930s, the old SPANKED WIVES CLUB. Now, everyone has to decide for themselves whether or not this club actually existed. I, for one, believe that it was a made up club, quite simply because the follow up club was the “Spanked Daughters club” organized by the same woman, or, as we would say in 2022, the same guy pretending to be a woman 😉

With that said mind you, the story lasted in the newspapers for years. This image and subsequent article for example is from 1940, and the link that I shared above is from 1937. I also have later newspaper stories concerning the same said club. So this was something that certainly captured the imagination.

Here we have a picture that I guess is supposed to be a club meeting. If it did exist, can you imagine the conversation? There seems to be some rather flustered faces in the front row, doesn’t there?

The second newspaper clipping today goes all the way back to 1906. The Golden Gophers of Minnesota beat the Chicago Maroons by a score of 4 to 2, yes, that was the score in an American football game, lol. Field goals back then were worth 4 points so one assumes that only a field goal and a safety were the two scores on the day.

After the game however, during the hotel celebrations, it would appear that 20 lady Maroons were simultaneously upended and spanked in the hotel lobby. Now can you imagine that scene taking place, the sight of twenty young women being spanked at the same time in a hotel lobby?

I have several different copies of the article but what I hope to find one day is a drawing that depicts said scene. Don’t count it out, many newspapers had their own commissioned artist back in those days so such a drawing could have easily appeared in a local newspaper.
