Today I am doing a vanilla project that is going to suck up far more time than I really should devote to it. For the last three years I have been a collector of memorabilia for the Japanese band BiSH, and when I put it all together I didn’t realize just how much I had. So I am in the process of making a vanilla video showing off my collection piece by piece. My regular audience on Youtube won’t give two hoots about it, but BiSH fans around the world will love it. It should especially be fun for people from Japan being that it is such a homogeneous society, to hear an English speaking person cover their favorite band.
On the spanking front, if we can even call it a spanking front anymore with the social distancing going on, an old idea has resurfaced this week that I might eventually do this year if we ever get back to spanking parties. Though I will say that being as I am heading to South Korea and Taiwan this winter, I may have to postpone production of the video until next year. We will see what happens, but I am dying to make my swan song video, even though I will only be in it for a short amount of time.
Okay, time for a spanking 🙂
The image this week is almost 80 years old, but unfortunately there are no details regarding what the actual image represents. I have been through the entire book from pillar to post and I can find no reference to the spanking image at all. We don’t know who the people are or why this spanking is happening. It looks like it is taking place on a stage judging by the curtain, the steps in the background and the hardwood floor, but the only play that took place that year was “Everybody’s crazy”, and while I can’t say for certain, the character descriptions in other books concerning that play do not give any indication that a spanking could take place.
There are a few things to note in the image that an observer like me pays attention to. Firstly, for once we have the girl in a proper OTK position with arms and legs clear of the floor. Her feet are in the time honored position that happens naturally to a lot of girls when they are getting spanked. The most striking part about this spanking image though is this, the spanker has his sleeve rolled up!!
Now I’m a realist when it comes to the staged spanking pics that I post, but I have to say this, I would be very surprised if what we are witnessing here isn’t an actual spanking taking place. I’m not talking one of your usual Billy Bullshit stories that people like to post, it could be something as simple as a playful spanking, but indeed I would be shocked if this guy’s hand wasn’t genuinely spanking the bottom beneath him. And not for nothing guys, look at the size of his freaking hand, lol, it looks like a paddle. It really sucks that the image isn’t very clear, because I will say this, if it would have been clear it had the potential to be one of the best vintage spanking pics on the Internet.
Anyway, as I do not have a clear understanding of what this spanking pic represents, what I will do is put this in my WINDSOR’S SPANKING FINDS album.
Great find. I have to agree it is a great spanking. On one side i would agree it is a staged spanking as it does appear that the spankee is smiling,but as you noted sleeve rolled up may indicate a more serious spanking.I always enjoy spanking finds that one has not seen before. It is hard to say whether it is a real spanking and it is nice to think that it is,but I would find it hard to think that it was a school spanking as they do appear near in age. So thanks for the great find and since there is no known backstory we will have to go with our own story. Thanks for sharing.

Jim,
It is very unfortunate that the image was included on a page of random snapshots, with not a single one of them identified. The dramatics club doesn’t help either as every member of the club was female!! I think that one of the thoughts that went through my mind is that it isn’t the classic staged image of the era, you know the one where either one of them, or more than likely both of them are looking at the camera. Now I’m not suggesting that this is a spanking for the ages, but it does make me think that perhaps a few swats were given for the camera. If you look at his left hand, it isn’t on her back and it appears to be in motion, indicating that it may have been caused by some form of body motion. Generally I would err on the side of caution, but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to hear that at least a couple of actual smacks landed.

?Since you have mentioned ‘the detailed information of location and the year that I always attach to the photos that I post (for others to use)’, I’m going to press you slightly, in what I hope you will accept is intended as a friendly and collegial manner.
Why, in the past month or so, have you stopped including the ‘detailed information’ you rightly pride yourself on including?
Actually, don’t trouble yourself to answer that, because it’s of secondary importance; please just update the pages to include the missing info! (The omissions go back to mid-March.)
Posting a picture, whose origins you obviously know, with the filename ‘unknown otk’ is really no different from saying ‘I have no idea where this came from!’. Fair enough that you’re mystified by this particular picture, but if you don’t supply even a little more background than that this is from a high school in the early Fifties that performed Everybody’s Crazy that year, you’re not giving anyone else much of a chance to have a go at the mystery. In fact, you also make it easier for bullshit stories, on the basis that nature abhors a vacuum.
Not digging too deep it is a real classic. Love her positioning wow
Ron
Because the girl is smiling and by her positioning, to me this is more of a playful spanking. Nice find!
Yeah the vacuum already exists, every single image I post gets renamed anyway, and everyone chooses what information they will decide to omit.
Gainesville, GA 1941 page 78 🙂
Yeah I love finds like this myself, Ron.
Absolutely, Ed, and in this instance I would bet more in the affirmative that actual swats landed.
Rich
?Thanks. It’s not a yearbook I can get into myself at present, but I can see on the thumbs that the photo is there and in due course I may have a crack at the mystery.
What I will say for now is, don’t be too ready to assume that boards and a curtain must mean a stage, and even if they do, don’t make the further assumption that anything that happens on a stage must be part of a play. Many school halls have stages, and students often have access to them at other times than when putting on their plays.
As for vacuums, it comes back to what you and I have both said before: you are not responsible for what other people do, only for what you yourself do, which includes the things you neglect to do.
With that in mind, I’d be glad to know the dates and origins of the other images you have published without that information:
Streetcars 126 and 127
Wednesday Classics 174, 175 and 177

(The others I already know, having found them independently; you might still like to add the info for the benefit of anyone else who cares – though it also either is or will be on my site.)
The Streetcars are the most important, because they are ones I have missed. (Well done to you.) I won’t add them to my site until after my Streetcars series is finished, so they’ll have had their rightful first run with you, their discoverer; but since my articles are not just a gallery, it would be nice to have the overall historical record as complete as it can be.
Feel free to add them to your ‘Streetcars by year’ pages at your leisure, Harry, they have been on my site for a couple of weeks already so the gloss is starting to wear off 😉
Streetcars 126 – I will add a second comment on this post when I find it, I will have to get back to you on this one. There’s about 600 schools with the same name and for some stupid reason I did not log the state. Extra dumb because I now remember that this pic doesn’t even show up in searches, I literally stumbled across it. BTW, there was no assumption made with the pic in this post other than it looked like it was taking place on a stage, I placed it into my “FINDS” album as there was no clear understanding as to what the pic represented. As for the pic itself, regardless of what it is I think that it is a great shot.
Streetcars 127 – Scotch Plains-Fanwood, NJ 1957
Wednesday Classic 174 – Flemington, NJ 1953 (I love this pic)
Wednesday Classics 175 – Alton, IL 1962
Wednesday Classic 177 – Ardmore, AL 1968
Report This – Atwood, IL 1952
Those are some good pics right there.
And the missing one, Streetcars 127 – Liberty Union, Brentwood, CA 1957
Play not mentioned in the book (hence why I couldn’t find it) but I think that we are both pretty clear that it is a Streetcars pic. Found the image searching for ‘Snaps’. Thank goodness I wrote ‘Liberty’ otherwise we were screwed.
Thanks enormously!
Harry
