(3/24/08 Update!! If you live in New York City you might want to pick up the Daily News today. In the Rush and Malloy section they are running this picture that I posted back in October from Dancing With The Stars. http://spankingbrats.blogspot.com/2007/10/are-you-ready-for-some-blog-love.html. The pic is in Black and White but if you are a collector I am sure you will enjoy it. It is probably in their online edition also. 2nd update: I was also just watching one of the most inspirational speeches I ever saw and I figured I would add it to the bottom of this post. This speech is from Jim Valvano, head coach of the North Carolina basketball program, a month before he died of cancer. It has nothing to do with what we do I know, but even 15 years later it is still a very powerful motivational tool and I thought I would share it with you all.)
It has taken me a little while to sort through my collection of vintage spanking pics, and while I am nowhere near done, I do believe that I will be able to start a new blog where I can begin to share with you all my vast collection of vintage spanking material.
All of this material has been collected over the years online, or were a part of a CD’s I once bought many years ago containing a lot of PMS scans amongst others. Even with the collection I have I know that we are just scratching the surface of what is out there. There was so many magazines back in the day that I know there are still some uncovered gems out there. (Continued below)
It will probably be at least a month before the blog is up and running at full speed. Next weekend I am going to an ‘Abilities Expo’ in New Jersey where my friend from Miami will be presenting a seminar on “Sexuality and the disabled population’. It’s funny really, I met her 21 years ago when she was just a kid attending a camp for children with disabilities, and I was one of the counselors. My how times change!! The week after that I am attending a mixed martial arts event in Jersey, but I should have some time to build the website that weekend. Then the week after that however, I will be flying to San Antonio for the Texas All State Bottoms Up party. So I am going to be pretty busy the next few weeks, but hopefully by mid April everything will be up and running and I can start to share with you my collection which includes the pics above and below.
Finally, I went out on Friday night to my favorite bar in the East Village, when I popped out to have a smoke in the wee hours, this guy in the picture below bummed a cigarette from me. Now at first I will admit to being the slightest bit cautious, but I did stand around and chat to this guy while we smoked. It turns out that he is a very notorious figure in the East Village and has been featured in many publications and news articles. Now as you can probably work out, these news articles haven’t always been written positively about this man, but he has been a figure around the homeless gathering spot in Tompkins Square Park (right opposite the bar where I drink in) for the past 20 years. Mr. Jewels is very well known for his anarchistic manner and he isn’t particularly fond of the police. There is a video of him on youtube where he is sat in the middle of a busy street at night as cars try to maneuver around him. Anyway, I wanted to show you the type of people you might run across in New York’s lower east side, but you know what, the guy really wasn’t a bad guy. He just wanted a smoke and to have someone listen to his story, and it was a pretty wild story at that, let me tell you 🙂
