What a nice surprise! :-)

So I'm cruising through Bonnie's "Good and Hot" section, checking out the updates, and what do I see? A review of one of my older videos, "The Spanking Professor," over at The Spanking Spot, written by Brushstrokes. I clicked on it eagerly, and was delighted to see a very thorough, scene-by-scene review, complete with lots of pictures (screengrabs, I'm thinking, because I haven't seen most of these before).

As I read, my grin grew bigger and bigger. It's a very nice review, extremely complimentary. Any self-respecting attention whore loves to read that she's smoking, brilliant, dynamic, beautiful (blushing fiercely). However, here's the part that made my face practically split wide open. Mr. Brushstrokes freely admits that he was surprised that he enjoyed watching me so much, since he prefers seeing younger girls getting spanked. HA!

I don't know why I'm feeling so incredibly vindicated right now. It's silly of me. But this tickles me to death -- a blogger who has his typing fingers on the pulse of the spanking scene, all the up-and-comers and the nubile young lovelies, admitted that he watched someone who is "a little older" (his words) than his usual subjects and was surprised at how very much he liked her. Why do I feel like I've made some sort of breakthrough? 

Oh, and here's the best part. Not once in the entire review did he use the qualifier "for her age." :-D

Anyway -- besides that, it was great fun to see one of my old favorites mentioned in such detail. Damn, I miss Steve Fuller.

Oh, and Mr. Brushstrokes mentioned that he would have liked to see a longer, harder spanking with the college coed in the beginning of the video. There's a reason why that didn't happen, but you'll just have to read my book to find out all about it! :-Þ

Twitter has been interesting. I've been on there about a day and a half, have 66 followers and have tweeted 27 times. However, most of those are replies to others, so they don't really count. Haven't figured out hashtags yet. Not in any rush to do so, either.

Anyway, thank you to Spanking Spot for making my day!

Fun Shadow Lane party article

In anticipation of the party this week, Eve Howard's latest "Eve's Corner" is a primer on what you can expect to see and do at these gatherings, plus some dos and don'ts. Each segment is cleverly illustrated with photos from various SL videos. If you're going, or even if you're not, check it out. It's a fun and informative read.

As I perused the article and photos, I did a double take toward the end: Hey! That's me! It was a picture I hadn't seen before from Spanking Professor, with the splendid Steve Fuller. Above the photo, Eve had written:

This photo introduces a matter worth commenting on, namely, taking a girl by hair. It is quite possible to do this without feeling unpleasant, by gathering the hair close to the head, etc., and many people seem to like it, however, never grab anyone by the hair without first discussing the subject and getting their permission to do it. Even if you know what you're doing, the act of grabbing someone like that if they are unprepared could be very disturbing, and if you don't know what you're doing, painful. So check first. And this applies to every type of exotic variation on standard over the knee spanking.

Very wise words. I happen to love a hair grab. Not a hair yank so much -- I don't have a whiplash fetish. But the feeling of a man's hand entangling in my hair and then his fist closing... mmmm. Don't get me started. But never assume a woman will like that; some consider it an abusive gesture.

However, here's MY question: Just what the hell is going on with my mouth in this photo??
