So the post party drop has begun, thankfully I have plenty coming up to keep me occupied, starting with the September party and in four weeks time it is the annual SSC party, which this year we will be having in Savannah, Georgia.
As this present time I am editing the video interviews that I did at the party and my hope is that I will have one up by the end of tonight. There is just so much to post and edit, thoughts to share, and further interviews to do via audio. I’m actually in a writing mood and there are some things I would love to go on about, but they will have to wait until the videos are done as I know people want to see them.
The biggest thoughts on my mind right now are the usual aesthetics of spanking. At the Shadowlane party I was able to speak to several like minded people and we covered in depth the concept of aesthetics. Now I’m not just talking about the cosmetic approach regarding aesthetics, but also the psychological approach. Those tiny little details that we pick up that stick with you, no matter how trivial it is or may appear to be. At this past weekend there was two such incidents that have been gnawing at my mind ever since they happened, one of which was planned and the other that wasn’t.
The unplanned event will be written in its own post at a later time, once I have received the pics. It was one of those events that one will remember for a long, long time, and it includes many different details. I won’t ruin that event just yet though as it will make for a good read.
The other event that took place was totally planned by a very naughty young lady, a lady who I have communicated with for about 18 months now. The spanking itself was a prearranged private session that took place on Friday morning before the England soccer game, to say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement, and it is an image that has been with me for nearly a week now, in fact it is fucking torturous, lol. Unfortunately I can’t go into too many details, I will just leave you with a visual image of what was presented to me on Friday morning, a very cruel, cruel, cruel thing to do to an Englishman with certain fondness’s………. but, thank you 🙂
(Note: Picture is just a generic web one, it is only used to simulate the scene I had)
nice pic pup but i have have same cavail for pics like this…..no face, no joy!
if i want to look at a pair of panties i’ll stop off at a fashion bug and buy a pair.
but…shots like this & anatomical close ups abound. i’m just wierd i guess.

Ddon,
90% plus of the girls I play with don’t wish to be photographed, a further 5% will only allow non face shots, and there are a few that don’t even wish for it to be known that I played with them for reasons of their own choice, it doesn’t leave much in the way of photographs.
Point being though, this pic was to allow people to use their imagination and the focus really was more on what I had to say, than a pic to enhance the image 🙂
sorry about that.
i wouldn’t want to jepardize anyones privacy. i didn’t realize the odds were so skewed.
perhaps if a girl wanted to do a shoot and privacy was the only issue then 20 min. in the hands of a theatrical make up artist and her own mothere wouldn’t know her. just a thot.
i played the fool,
ddon
I’ll agree that spanking pics that do not show the spankee’s face are mostly meaningless. It isn’t only the legs and ass that need be shown; we should also see the tantalizing expressions of distress, dismay, or perhaps ecstasy shown on the spankee’s face. I always thought that went without saying, but maybe not.
Cheers,
Dan
Dan,
I have heard that opinion from you a great many times now, and while I agree with you in principal, we are in a different age now where amateurs are taking the plunge and sharing a little about themselves. Almost all of the girls that I play with do NOT wish to have their face shown, so I disagree that it goes ‘Without saying’ in this day and age. In fact I have two pictures to share within the next week where the girl doesn’t wish to have her face shown, however, I think most viewers will be happy to at least share in the OTK pic and the other pic showing her red bottom.
There are a lot of folks that don’t wish to have there faces shown and I, for one, don’t mind so much when people are just trying to share a little of their life. I’m sure a lot of people are completely put off even remotely sharing what they have when the prevailing thought is “Close up face shots or don’t bother posting”, and I don’t blame them when they hear the same thing said over and over.
Of course I welcome the feedback and I respect it, but I do hope that when I post the two pics of the vanilla who had never been spanked before in her life prior to my spanking her, that you can at least appreciate her kindness in allowing her red bottom to be shown without once again having to point out that non face pics are meaningless!!
Have to admit then when you are sharing personal pics and it is criticized as not being good enough it can get very frustrating, especially when it has taken a lot for someone just to allow their bottom to be seen. I guess the criticism isn’t frustrating as much as the fact that it is pointed out time and time again, like the point wasn’t made the first 50 times!!
Rich.
My reply to Dan is,
You really think people who post “meaningless” anonymous photos are posting for YOU?? People who post pics on blogs and other free areas that do not show face are doing it solely for the crowds that THEY want to appease, which is usually people who know them personally, either r/l or online, and APPRECIATE getting a glimpse of their experience. Meaningless to YOU, perhaps….but then again, YOU are not who they are posting for.
If you want face pics, go to a commercial site and spend YOUR money to see what YOU want and stop throwing around ‘meaningless’ comments because a free picture does not suit YOUR desires.
sarah >:( ~just a tad grumpy at selfish bastids~
Well put sarah!!! Amen.
sorry sarah
i must be a selfish bastid.
there must be lots of souls out there who want photos of bottoms and other anatomical areas and may god go with them. but i remember the 40’s when spankings came in photo sets. if there was a shot without a face there were three others giving you a grasp of who she was.
if in the spirit of generocity and sweetness a girl should offer me a picture of her bare bottom i would, as politely as possible, say thanks but please don’t. unless you also include a picture of you holding your cat or puppy, or husband with a big smile.
but that’s just me. and i don’t think i’m a selfish bastid!
oh well dan….it’s you and me against the world!!!!

Don,
The point I am trying to make though was echoed by Sarah, this blog is about me, my friends, and my aspect on the spanking world. My frustration comes from the fact that for some people it takes an awful lot just to post something small, and it bothers me when that is roundly criticized. As I said, this week I have two pics of a girl who had never been spanked before that will be posted to enhance a story, and already I am thinking that it won’t be good enough because I’m not showing her fallopian tubes.
Maybe the subject is a sensitive one to me, but I too have my preferences in the spanking world. As an example, I love to write about girls wearing white nylon panties, but you don’t see me repeating the same comment over and over on every spanking blog I come across that doesn’t post what I want, and therefore I claim it to be insufficient. The same goes for the preference of M/F spanking, it is my preference as well which is why 95% of spanking pics on this blog are of that, I just don’t need to constantly go around telling everyone my point of view……… Actually, that is incorrect, I DO share my point of view, that is why I started a spanking blog, to share my side of my own spanking story and how it pertains to me.
Part of my frustration comes from the fact that if you have strong opinions in the spanking world (that’s anyone, not YOU in particualr), why not start a blog and share them with the community, instead of going around pissing on the work of others? And not just that, but repeating the same thing time and again!!
I can assure you that if I went around to every blog and criticized every picture that does not involve the girl wearing white nylon panties, and state that it is lacking because *I* don’t like it, people would soon feel the same about me, especially if I wasn’t satisfied making the same point the first 40 times.
I’m frustrated in advance because I’m already feeling that one of the best experience’s I have had in many years, is going to be picked apart just because the girl doesn’t want her face shown.
Whoa! Everybody, just take a deep breath and RELAX!
When I posted my brief comment — and yes, it IS “brief” — I was simply doing so to affirm the POV offered earlier, by ddon on Sept. 9. He had said: “no face, no joy!”
And I agree.
But nothing in my message, or in ddon’s two messages, justify the kind of scorn we have received here, from others. Sure, you may have a different POV, and it is your right to have it. But no, I don’t think that also gives you the right to denigrate those who do not believe as you do on a given subject.
So no, I am NOT a “selfish bastid.” Neither, I don’t believe, is ddon. I simply know what I like, and I thought this forum was provided by Richard to allow scene members to express their own thoughts.
When I say that faceless spanking pictures are meaningless, of course I meant to express my own point of view. It is a legitimate point, I believe. And if you are going to have forums like this for folks to offer their views, then you are going to read a lot of stuff you disagree with. But that’s life.
Cheers,
Dan
herm….
start my own blog…NOOOOOOO!!!! who would read it????
you and pixie and devlin, and erica and chross should be enough for anyone.
i said the pic was good!!! but for me it would be better if the whole girl were shown. thats all. thats me.
anyone can post any kind of picture they want but if it just shows a small part of the whole girl i will always wonder what i’m missing.
just suppose, [lee andrews & the hearts for those playing the home game],
ddon
kat…
your photo was and is not meaningless.
i never meant that every time a girl wants to be spanked she should be made up. i thot that was pretty clear.
however if a girl did want to do a shoot that would be a way.
i do not want to see agony or expression. at least when a girl is posing for non-spanking.
all of this gives me a wonderfull idea but i won’t post. i’ll email rw privatly.
i never meant harm.
ddon
Dan,
You are welcome to air your views and disagree with me, but let’s not confuse an open forum with my personal spanking blog where I get to share my piece of the spanking world. Yes, people are free to comment on whatever they wish, but THEY should also accept the criticism when it comes there way also.
Would you like to know what makes me so mad about this and why I responded? Every girl that has commented so far has been spanked by me and in some small way, has allowed a picture to be shared of that experience even though their identity has been protected. That said, I was pretty infuriated that these people, friends of mine, are seen as meaningless and I thereby responded. Perhaps you didn’t mean the words “I always thought that went without saying, but maybe not” to sound as bad as they did, but it grated me because the pictures are NOT meaningless to me, they are not meaningless to the girls in them, and with yours and Ddon’s objections aside, they are not meaningless to a great many of my friends who get to share the experience, regardless of how small it may be. Nobody wants to appear inferior, and the way your comment comes across it sounds like if they aren’t showing their faces they are somehow inferior.
Aside from the ‘Meaningless’ comment which, I have to be honest, does bother me a great deal based on the explanation I just gave you, I have a story coming up where I got to spank a young Scottish lady who has never been spanked before. She has allowed me to post two pictures to go along with the story of one of the best experiences I have had to date, yet I can’t help but feel the story has been pissed on before I even post it, because the girl obviously doesn’t want her face shown.
I have no problem with your opinion or your right to express it, but it is quite clear by now that you don’t like ‘non-face’ pics and that you firmly believe that M/F over the knee spanking is the only legitimate form of spanking, I get that, but as I share MY experiences on this blog, I don’t feel it is always necessary to point it out every time I don’t make a post that you don’t personally like.
You gave me one of the best compliments I have ever received when you said that the video I did with Caroline Grey was one of your favorite videos, and on that occasion I glossed over the “M/F is the only natural form of spanking”, this time though I took it pretty personal because I felt like you were saying that my experiences with my friends are meaningless unless I provide you with what you want. Regardless of how important the experiences are to me and the girls I play with.

Aaahh, I get it now. You like compliments, but you can’t take adverse criticism.

Richard us carry on doing what you do on your blogs we like it ,tim .
Dan,
I don’t think I have ever been accused of not being able to take criticism, I have a good self deprecating sense of humor so I am able to take quite a lot. My thoughts, I guess, are what I presume to be your condescending attitude that I find bothersome, not the criticism exactly. Had I been adverse to criticism I could have easily deleted comments and banned IP addresses, but I would never do that. People are free to comment however they wish on this site (no matter how many times they repeat the same point) and if need be I will also comment in response if I disagree with it.
The bottom line is, when I post non face pics of my friends they are not meaningless to either myself, my friends, or a great many of my readers, that is what is important to me. Should you feel the need to point out yet again later this week, when I post two non face pics of a young lady who received her first ever spanking from me, that the pics mean nothing to you, feel free to do so. Regardless, the scene was one of the most important ones I have done to date and therefore I will happily share that with my readers. At least you will be happy to know that they are M/F pics, so while you won’t see her face, you will see her red bottom 🙂
Rich.
P.S. If you think that I, too, am being condescending in this response, you would be making the correct assumption 🙂
Holey Moley! If this is the reaction a generic picture draws, are you sure the internet is ready for the all consuming glory that is Giles’s ass?!
