Product Review: Paddles and Panties

The story of some of the ridiculous things that have happened recently and which have prevented me from attending to my blog as thoroughly as I would like to shall be appearing soon. It's more important to me to get this post up, first, and then chatter on about myself. Not like I won't be chattering on in this post, but, you know!

I love underpants. I love them far too much. I like plain ones and lacy ones, cute ones and crazy ones and everything in between. One thing I had never had, however, were spanking related panties. The closest thing that I had were my "GUILTY" panties from my shoot with Spanking Court, which I absolutely love.

When I was given these at Spanking Court, I asked Katerina where they came from. She directed me to her site, Paddles and Panties, where I proceeded to oogle over just about everything. The idea of selling implements and underpants in the same place is so perfect. I'm far too fond of obtaining both of those things.

Paddles and Panties is great for several reasons, besides basically being one-stop-shopping for spankos. They offer a series of underpants with cute, spanking related sayings on the butt, and I'm happy to report that they don't discriminate. They are available for men and in female plus sizes as well as standard female sizing. The panties themselves are well made and fit comfortably, and the text is screen-printed on in a way that looks great and holds up well to washing. I can't say anything about dryers, though, since I hang all my underwear to dry.

The phrases available are cute and witty, and since they're made up by a spanko, they're things that many of us will relate to. :)

"Paddled to Perfection"

The phrases are in a variety of fonts and colors, which mixes things up quite a bit.

I'm personally very into wearing these panties to work under my regular clothes. It makes me feel the same sort of "getting away with something secret" feeling that I get when I'm hiding bruises under my skirt!

"Seat of Education"

These are also sure to be hits at spanking parties, and make for a fun "reveal" when you pull your pants down or raise your skirt to reveal the message!

"100% Spankable" (I'll replace this with a better photo once I get some help: taking photos of your own butt is hard!)

I have had a chance to be spanked with several of the implements sold on their site, as well, and they're quality stuff. I'm most familiar with their wooden pieces, and they really sting a lot! I also discovered that the horrible black spoon which Dana Kane spanked us Sternwood Girls with comes from them! That was an unforgettable implement. It was one of the worst spoons ever (pretty much only topped by "Ben"). You can pick that up if you really want to teach someone a lesson or eight!

They also have this fun thing called "Spanko Lotto" which is basically a scratch off lottery card for spanking! You pick a box and it tells you how many swats and with what implement you are to be spanked. It's a fun little thing and really adorable.

I recommend that you check their site out and pick up one or two items that catch your eye. They're run by awesome people who are offering a unique and well made product. I give them my highest "marks." :P

Welcome to Sternwood Academy!

I haven't had a whole lot going on recently (as mentioned in my previous post). This is largely due to some health issues and other personal stressors that have been present in my life recently. Bit by bit, those things have been getting squared away and I'm back to feeling like myself on a daily basis and doing those cool human things like eating, sleeping and not feeling sick. w00t.

The level of excitement rose rather greatly, though, because Heather and I left for Northern California to do a shoot for Spanking Court's new project: Sternwood Academy. The traveling wasn't entirely easy: we weren't able to get any sort of direct flight from South Dakota to NorCal so we ended up zigzagging around the country a bit, but I was very glad to have Heather with me on my three flights. As is often the case, having her around made something that might be a bit of a drag into a good time.

We arrived in Reno and got picked up and driven to studio in Lake Tahoe. I met two of the other models that I was working with this weekend, Cheyenne Jewel and Ela Darling in the car. They're both super sweet and a lot of fun to hang out with. I knew that Ela and were a good match when we were talking about how to cry on command and she said that she just needed to think about Snape and Lily.

I honesty don't think/talk about this very much because it chokes me up so much.

Then she showed me this video and I was smitten. :D I could really go on about how I think that everything about Ela's brain is sexy, but I think you guys get it.

Getting into my uniform for the shoot was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I know it sounds stupid, but a world which combines formality, academia, cuteness and spanking is pretty much a world that was built for me. It's true: when I got dressed, Dana Kane told me that I was born to wear the uniform.

Heather and I in our messy dorm room!

I've worn lots and lots of school uniforms before, mostly ones that I've assembled piece by piece from things I found online or at the thrift store, but being twinsies with a bunch of other smart, beautiful women was just over the top awesome.

The weekend was A LOT of shooting. This isn't a problem for me because the point at which I get burned out from being spanked too much is something that scientists can only theorize about. I actually ended up creating an extra scene in which I get spanked with Katerina of Spanking Ms. Cali after class because I've always wanted to be spanked with her ever since I first met her at Spanking Court. That was a ton of fun. Heather and I also did our first ever professional video together! That was extremely exciting!

I love this girl with my ENTIRE heart!

We also had several scenes in which all the Sternwood girls get spanked in a row, which was pretty intense and fun to shoot. Getting to pass notes and screw around in class was out of character for me, but something I could totally get behind.

I don't want to go to deeply into what, exactly, we shot (because I want you to buy the DVD when it gets released!) but it's all very fun stuff that's made by spankos and for spankos. I personally don't usually enjoy watching my content, but I'm excited to see how the classroom looked through the camera. It's got to be pretty freaking awesome.

In the evenings and other spare time, I got a lot of chances to talk to Miss Dana Kane (because we were staying in the same apartment) and this is something that I'm really glad that I got to do. She's a really remarkable woman. She's incredibly smart, talented at what she does, clever, hilarious, fun and amazingly kind. She's also hella beautiful and she carries herself with an amount of confidence I've rarely seen a woman pull off. She's one of the few people I've interacted with who presents herself with no apologies or shame regarding her femininity. In other words, she's simultaneously a woman and a total badass and is entirely unapologetic for that, despite what our society teaches us about what we should be. I really aspire to be as awesome as she is.

On the second day, once I was feeling very in my element indeed, I asked Dana if she would spank me harder during our scenes and she happily agreed to that. Spanking videos are easier for me to film if I'm actually getting the hell smacked out of me because that's my most pure and natural state of being. I got genuine tears going a couple of times during the weekend, but a lot of that was motivated by the happiness of being around a whole bunch of people who were celebrating the stuff that I love that I'd been long taught by my external culture should make me ashamed.

That and the fact that I was getting hit pretty hard!

In one of our paired scenes, Dana broke a spoon somewhere between Heather and I. It was Heather's first broken implement, and we each took a piece that fits together in a sort of spanko friendship heart.

At the end of the weekend, I had a pretty red and sore bottom:

I'm trying to edit photos in my phone now. Thanks, Japan, for Purikura Apps!

In all, the experience was epic! I've been exhausted recently, but I'll hopefully be getting more blogging done in the next few days. I've got LOTS more news! 

New Preview Video!

A while ago, I wrote about the awesome experience I had shooting with The Spanking Court. I did three scenes in a very fun (and quite "me") storyline. The plot centers around me as a college student protesting for animal rights. In the first segment, I brought myself to the court because I was worried that I was going to cross the line. This is the part that made this particular production so relatable for me: I'm much better at acting in situations where I'm trying to do my best and ameliorate myself than I am at being bratty. The second segment is an update where I talk about how I've continued to do well. Those two spankings were great fun to film because they were very positive--the theme was "You're doing well: keep doing well!"

In the third clip, I got out of hand and crossed the line and got myself in a boatload of trouble. This was also pretty relatable for me because, let's face it: sometimes I get myself into a world of trouble. It's never  because I try to: it's because I don't try hard enough not to. That's what happened in the video, too. I didn't keep myself under control and got arrested. (OOPS!)

This third segment, where I get a very hard, 200 stroke paddling, is now available on Spanking Court. There's a promo video for it here:



I haven't actually watched the entire video: I have a really hard time watching videos of myself. It just makes me feel weird. I watch enough to learn what I can do better in future videos (things with my posture, speaking more clearly et cetera) and then I'm usually done. This is a pretty intense video, too. It made me want to hug myself to watch it again.

Additionally, I've never posted them here before, but there are two other promo videos of me available on spankingtube. There's one from my first shoot ever, with Assume The Position Studios:



and one from a recent(ish) shoot with Lily Starr Spanking:



Have fun watching me cry and stuff, and be sure to check out the sites from which they originate!

Spanking Court Photos!

You know what the internet doesn't have enough of on it yet? Pictures of my butt! I'm here to fight against this huge social problem, one post at a time!

Today, I've got some photos to share from my shoot with Spanking Court, which you can read about here. In short, it was a totally awesome shoot. :D

First, here's me on trial:

Here's during my first sentence: 100 strokes with a leather strap (those ones that wrapped a lot hurt like a bitch, in case you were wondering.)

Here, I'm getting handcuffed by the lovely Dana Kane: 

This one is my favorite: The Spanking Court Disciplinarian (The Villain) just broke a full-size paddle on my poor butt!

And finally, here I am with the broken pieces in front of the height chart. This photo points out something very important: I shrank! I used to be a full 5'8" when barefoot without even having to posture up or anything. 

If I look a little spacey in this photo, it's because I just had two sets of 100 strokes (per set) with a leather strap, followed by 200 strokes with a (well, really two, because the first one is in pieces) wooden paddle.  

I'll post a link to the videos once they are uploaded :) 

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Court is in Session!

I apologize for the relatively late hour at which I am making this post: I had a pretty busy day. Specifically, I shot with Spanking Court today, then spent the afternoon with one of my favorite friends from the scene, her Dom, and my vanilla boyfriend, R. Additionally, I'm helping my new roommate get settled in.  All in all, a very nice, but busy, day.


I didn't sleep particularly well last night: I tend to get jittery right before a spanking shoot. There are a lot of variables and unknowns involved in a shoot. When it comes to any kind of gig, I always worry about getting there on time and prepared: especially when working with someone for the first time, I often go over lists of things that need doing in my head rather obsessively when falling asleep the night before the shoot, and I often wake up in the night in a panic, thinking that it is much later than it actually is and that I'm already running late. When dealing with spanking modeling, this pattern of concern gets much stronger. I generally tend to worry that if I'm not on time and perfectly prepared I'm going to get spanked harder :P.


Despite these things, I woke up and got energized early in the morning and made my way over to Hollywood for my shoot. As soon as I met Cali and the rest of the Spanking Court team, I felt at ease. They were a lovely group of people. Everyone was extremely kind, friendly and considerate. They also had a bunch of really good food. That is always a plus. I relaxed and chatted, then got my hair and makeup done and was ready to shoot my first scene.


For those who aren't familiar with Spanking Court (and if you aren't, you should really check it out), it's a site where cases are heard by a judge, who then hands out sentences in the form of either preventative or disciplinary spankings. I really enjoyed all the courtroom mis-en-scene. Their sets were really cool, and it was probably one of the only situations where one can have fun while wearing a orange jumpsuit :P. I never want to tell too much about the plot or details of a video before it is released, but I will share that got spanked three times. The final scene was a particularly long and hard spanking, and it was full of me crying. The type of scenes that I shot today were very natural for me: my character was a good girl who had gotten a bit out of hand and was repentant. That headspace is one of the most common for me in my real-life spanking activity, and, I must say, I rocked it ^_^.


Today was also the first time I was ever restrained for a spanking by anything other than the Top's body (or, in some cases, the force of his will). Honestly, the only time that I even noticed that I was locked in place on the bench was when my hair got in my face and I couldn't reach my hand up to move it! My attitude towards being spanked is generally very passive: I tend to relax into spankings rather than struggle against them.


The Villain, aka the Spanking Court Disciplinarian, was an awesome Top. He had excellent spanking technique and, perhaps more importantly, he created moods and headspaces that worked extremely well for each scene. His character was slightly antagonistic to me in the last scene, and he delivered lines that sent a shiver down my spine in an awesome way. He also broke a full size, wooden paddle of my butt:

Everyone signed the paddle and gave it to me to take home.

It's the largest and meanest implement to meet its demise against my flesh to date. It's also the first "official" spanking implement for me to break: until now, I'd only broken wooden spoons, hairbrushes and some weird plastic thing that I can't exactly remember what it was supposed to be before Malignus started using it for spanking.


Speaking of butts that are known for breaking implements, I'm incredibly sad to announce that I did not get to meet Erica Scott today. She shot with Spanking Court later in the day than I did. It was my original intention to stay and hang out while others were shooting so that I could finally get a chance to meet her, but for various reasons, that wasn't possible today. That was the only low point in my day, but I'm sure I'll get a chance to meet up with her eventually.

I'm planning on shooting with Spanking Court again in the future, because I had such a wonderful time. I'm not sure when the content from today will be available on the site, but I'll keep you posted ^_^.
