Windsor Wednesday Classic – 46

My time this week has evaporated into nothingness,  so much so that I may not even get to post Streetcar Sunday’s until Monday this week. Tomorrow I am off to a little weekend gathering with some of the coolest people around. Yes,  there will be lots of spanking fun and I have a date to switch a certain someone in the woods at 2am on Monday 😉 Hopefully I can pre-post the Sunday post later tonight.

It’s rehearsal time for the Taming Of The Shrew,  and if EVER a skirt was begging to be raised,  it HAS to be this one. From Valley High in 1970,  this pic gets me going,  if only for the fact that I am sure these guys did a private rehearsal 😉

This will be added to my KISS ME KATE folder.

  1. Thanks for posting this, Richard. The 1970 date is instructive in this case, because as I recall, 1970 was probably the LAST YEAR of the miniskirts craze. After that, most women adopted long pants as their daily duds.

    Both Bianca (standing) and Lilli Vanessi (horizontal) are wearing miniskirts.

  2. What a pleasure it is to be reminded how *amazing* women’s everyday fashion was back then!

  3. A further thought: there is a professional actress named Patti Cohenour who would have been 17/18 in 1970:

    Is it my imagination, or does she look quite similar to the Patti Cohenour in the photo?

  4. Always good to see these previously unknown historical finds. You have to wonder just how many amateur actresses had their bottoms warmed in KMK.

  5. Thanks Richard for a photo that combines two of my passions, spanking (of course) and the vintage mini-skirt. Of the six people in the photo other than Patti only one is actually looking at the spanking, even Mike is distracted. Perhaps if the guys had realized that the mini would soon be replaced by the pant suit and floor length “prairie” skirt they would have paid closer attention. Even if there had been countless rehearsals I got to say that I still would have been staring. I guess you can spot the spanko here. Also, Patti’s position reminds us of a common “problem” with the mini. Any girl who was not in an absolute upright position was apt to put on a real ’70s “show” for anyone nearby. A fun fact: Research reveals that at least 15% of all high school senior girls were still getting spanked at home in this era.

  6. A neat snap. You’re right Dan, it was the end of another short lived era. I was married on the last Sunday in 1969 and all the skirts my new bride wore on our honeymoon were Mini Skirts. Even nearly 44 years ago the skirts she kept ad “keepsakes” still fit.

  7. Just to confirm what I suspected: for once, a high school spanking scene features someone who *didn’t* go on to obscurity. Yes, this is indeed the future Broadway star Patti Cohenour, who attended Valley High where she was a senior in 1969-70, and who later took over from Sarah Brightman as the female lead in Phantom of the Opera.
