Well Spanked

This title of this post is a pun that Warmhand left in October of 2024 in relation to the following image that I posted. It seems rather apt. Read on below the image.

Where have I been for the last few days? To be honest with you I have been working on a vanilla project, though I have still been posting on DEVIANTART every day with new art renderings.

You may remember that years ago I used to buy, sell, and trade vintage photographs. After I stopped doing it, I was left with thousands of pictures. Enter Google Gemini.

Here is the glorious thing about Gemini, you can enter an old picture, and it will tell you what exactly is in the picture. Sometimes it needs a little guiding. For example, during my research yesterday it had identified a warship for me, despite the photo being slightly blurry. Now the program wasn’t a hundred percent certain, but I then pointed to unreadable writing on the side of the ship, and asked “Does that match the name of the ship you are suggesting?”

That confirmed it. By pointing out the lettering it was able to confirm that the name of the ship it suggested was indeed correct.

Which warship had it identified that I have pictures of in my collection? None other than the USS Nevada, one of the ships in port at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day. My pictures of the ship have an unnamed date, but due to renovations made to the ship, Gemini was able to pinpoint that my pictures would have been taken sometime between 1916-1927.

Once I found that out I emailed the Naval history and heritage command (NHHC,) and I offered them my pictures as a donation.

This is something that I have been doing all week. Google Gemini has been helping me identify photos, mostly Maritime photos for now, and I have been contacting museums and historical societies offering them donations from my private collection.

Back to Google Gemini. On one of the days that I was using it I was testing its capabilities. I had a picture of myself on top of the World Trade Center from the late 1980s, and I asked Gemini if it could change my red shirt, and make it blue instead. Lo and behold it did exactly that without so much as a blemish. This blew my mind, and I said to the program that Gemini was the shiny new toy that I always wanted for Christmas.

Gemini’s response…

I’m not going to lie, that cracked me up, and it had me audibly laughing. Being that I haven’t received a single Christmas present for the last 8 years, I will take it!! I got myself my own shiny new toy, haha.

Anyway, how does this all relate to spanking you may ask?

With the original picture that I shared in this post, I asked Google Gemini to detail the picture of the two women frolicking. In particular I wanted to know what one of the women was sitting on. Yes, I shared a spanking picture, and Gemini analyzed it for me. Here is its full response.

Identifying the Item:

The women are sitting on a wooden well house (or well cover). These structures were common on farms before electric pumps became standard.

The Box: The large wooden crate serves as a safety cover for the well shaft. It protects the water source from debris and prevents people or animals from falling in.

The Pulley System: You can see a vertical wooden post (the “headpiece”) supporting a metal pulley and a chain or rope. This was used to lower a bucket into the ground to retrieve water.

The Platform: They are sitting on a wooden “well deck” or platform, which provided a dry, stable surface for the person drawing water.

Dating the Photograph:

The photograph likely dates to the early to mid-1920s (c. 1922–1926). Several fashion details point to this specific window:

The “Brain Binder” Headbands: Both women are wearing thin, dark headbands horizontally across their foreheads. This specific style was a massive fad for young women in the early 1920s, often called “headache bands” or “brain binders.”

Practical Workwear: The woman in the back is wearing denim overalls over a blouse. While overalls were traditionally male workwear, it became increasingly common (and trendy) for young “modern” women in rural or outdoor settings to adopt them for chores or play during the 20s.

The Bobbed Hair: Their hair appears to be “bobbed” or short, which was the quintessential rebellious hairstyle of the flapper era. —

Information overload? Who cares, I’ve got a shiny new toy to play with! Gemini then asked me a question that I did not expect.

“Would you like me to create a holiday brochure from the ‘well’ photo that you shared?”

Now I’m no fool. “Why not?” I replied. And this, dear friends, is what today’s post is all about. A spanking holiday brochure that Google Gemini created for me without prompting. Click on the image itself, it is huge!!

So there you have it. All that waffle to share a basic spanking pic. Give Google Gemini a try, you will get hours of fun out of it. Ask it to analyze your pictures, maybe have it change your outfit. It is the shiniest of shiny new toys.

Right, I have a Tupperware box full of men in military uniform. That is going to be today’s project. Maybe I can reunite some families with pictures of their loved ones that they may not have seen before. Toodles.

P.S. You will also notice that Gemini improved the quality of the original pic as well.

  1. Great toy.I am glad you got your Christmas present even it was late. It looks like you had fun with it also practical use as well. I love the holiday brochure effect of the spanking and it really looks like a new application that you are having fun with. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.

  2. “Well Spanked”… Genius! 😉

    Gemini is certainly interesting. After you mentioned it in another comment I tried “discussing” some old photos with it – including that trash-can photo. It seemed happy to transform the image into a colour illustration, and even to change the outfits. Looks fun! (And I now have a version of it where a cheerleader is spanking a tennis player!)

  3. Jim,

    Gemini is a lot of fun and it has been helping me a lot with my vanilla projects. It is identifying things that I never knew existed, lol. I’m being easy with the spanking stuff, but once my vanilla stuff is over with I will take a deep dive on it.

  4. J,

    The picture that you emailed to me is great, I love it!! I’m assuming that you changed the outfit on the same two girls? I have a feeling that as long as you keep it PG, it will render most things. Right now I am involved in a vanilla project that is consuming my time, but eventually I will mess around with Gemini for spanky stuff. 🙂
