Sit on Kinky Santa's Lap

Fetlife, the networking site for kinksters, is having a special Christmas promotion. In the spirit of the holidays, they are giving their members a chance to win some fabulously kinky prizes that were donated by their advertisers. All that you have to do is be a member (which is easy enough) and sit on kinky Santa’s lap to tell him what you want. You get to choose three items and rate them in preference. At the end of the contest, names will be drawn and the prizes handed out.

There are a total of 218 prizes to choose from, which have a total value of over $25,000. The prizes range from simple erotic toys, to BDSM equipment and bondage gear, to rarer items to play with. Individual prizes range from just under fifty dollars, to over a thousand. There is something for everyone. Obviously, I opted for a spankalicious prize as my first choice, and then chose two other items from the same advertiser as second and third. I’m not going to share my choices, though, as I wouldn’t want to encourage anyone to go out and choose the exact same ones and lessen my chances.

Also, you can add to your chances by advertising about the promotion on other sites. In case you hadn’t noticed, that’s what I’m doing right now, so this equals an extra entry for me. With so many members on Fetlife, though, I’m not sure that it will help my chances that much, but I’ll try anything once.

Latest Generic Updates

Okay, it’s time for another round of fun updates! I hope that I haven’t been keeping you waiting.

First of all, after several months of procrastinating, I’ve finally updated the archive posts. I’m sure that this comes as welcome news to anyone that’s been trying to use the archives to peruse the last few months of entries. I’m sorry that I was so late in adding the new links, but life has been so hectic recently, and my eyes were mainly focused on trying to improve sales on the clips store.

Expect to see a new schedule posted sometime in the next week or so, once I’ve looked at all of the possibilities for the new year. I’ve already started making plans to attend at least one major spanking party in Texas, which I attend every year, but also to a new party in New Jersey that has caught my eye. Obviously, I’ll also have a plethora of anime and gaming conventions that I want to attend, in hopes that our finances start to straighten themselves out, and Amtgard events. I hope that 2010 is a stellar year for traveling.

Since several blogs link to mine, I regularly check through my tracker to see where they’re coming from and to link back. At the same time, I look through existing blogs in my blogroll to find abandoned or dead blogs to remove. Since it’s been a while since I’ve done either of these things, I had my hands full tonight. Still, the results are always worth it. While I’m at it, I may as well mention that I’ll likely wait until the end of the year to go back through my stats and report my findings. I normally do this about once a month, but it’s a fun way to look back at the old year.

Also, during the next week or so, I’ll be posting some reviews and promotions that I’ve been asked to do. This will, of course, include the new party that I’m thinking about attending, as well as a Christmas contest for kinky folk and a spanking e-book. It should give my readers a lot to think about as the new year approaches.

The clips store has been excruciatingly slow for the past couple of weeks, despite a sizable drop in clip prices and a spanking promotion to go along with sales. I had hoped that business would pick up some before Christmas, in the hopes of adding a little bit of cash into our pockets during a very touch holiday period, but that doesn’t appear like it will be the case. However, I still hope to turn that around in the new year. I still have Cookie as a regular model, though I haven’t been in contact with Angelica, lately. I have other prospects, though, including a girl in Texas that will be visiting soon, and I’ve already gotten word from some friends of mine that she attended a spanking party with that she’s a cute brat that can take a Hell of a spanking. There was also a model in Orlando that showed interest, but I don’t think that I’d be able to meet her compensation requests at the current time. Still, things can only get better from here.

That’s about it for now, though I hope to really get things started as we move closer to the new year. Hopefully, the store will start to gather some steam, and might even pay for some of the spanking trips that I’d like to take. I can only dream.

Discussion Sunday

Recently, I've posted a weekly feature to detail my involvement in the Over the Knee fantasy football league. This is, for the most part, a completely vanilla activity, but we've included spanking as the theme and added in spanking references and spanking bets to spice it up. This is far from the only time that I've mixed vanilla interests with my spanking interests, as my readers should know from past entries. I'd be interested in seeing how my readers have mixed the two. I bet we'll hear some interesting stories. It could be as little as a birthday spanking that was given in front of vanilla friends that didn't have a clue about a second meaning behind it, or something as complex as a tiny reference that only a kinky friend might pick up on.

Have you ever included your kinky side in otherwise vanilla activities? Did you do this with spanko friends, or vanillas? Did you hide the reference so that it wouldn't appear kinky to someone outside of your kink, or make it obvious for anyone to see?

Please post your answers and thoughts as comments to this post, or feel free to stop by our chatroom to talk about your thoughts and experiences, particularly between the hours of 8:00pm and 10:00pm, Eastern time, which will be our official chat time. If you comment to the discussion, don’t feel that you have to limit yourself to one post. If you later feel that you have something else to add, either as an afterthought or in response to another poster, please do so. These discussions are about open dialogue and sharing of ideas.

Fantasy *FOOTBALL* Friday

It was another great week for me in the Over The Knee fantasy football league for spankos, run by Todd and Suzy of the American Spanking Society. My opponent was Suzy, and a stellar performance by Drew Brees on Monday easily pushed me to a solid victory of 104-78. This was easily the highest score of the week, and, together with a loss by Cowgirl, enough to push me back into the coveted first place spot with a half-game advantage. It was a long drive to get that position back after claiming it initially in the very first week, and then losing it in the second. With luck, I’ll be able to hold it for the remaining two weeks of the regular league season.

More importantly, though, my win and reclaimed spot was just enough to clinch my position in the playoffs. I was the first and only player to claim one of these spots, though more will likely join those ranks this coming weekend and the final spots will be set the weekend afterwards. However, I can still proudly say that I’ll be in the battle for the paddle, and intend to do my best to win.

My main concern going into these final weeks, particularly the playoffs, is that New Orleans might bench Drew Brees in the last games of the season to save him for the playoffs. So, in order to consider the worst case scenario, I looked for a quarterback to add to my bench in case I had to replace Brees, who is on the “do not cut” list with four of my other players. This list is the one problem with having good players, since you can’t get rid of them if they’re benched with an injury or otherwise out of the games. Hopefully, New Orleans will keep their eye on their record and Brees will keep playing right on through to the playoffs and give me the edge that I need. With other big players like Peyton Manning likely to be benched, as well, having Brees in these final weeks would definitely be a bonus to my chances.

However, I still have to plan for the possibility that he won’t be in for the full season, so I looked over my options and picked up Jason Campbell as a potential replacement in case of an emergency. Campbell is projected to perform decently during the next four weeks, so I think that I’ll be happy with him should I have to put him in to replace Brees. I chose to drop Hakeem Nicks to make room for him. I had already gotten my use out of Nicks, and I hadn’t scheduled him to play in any of the remaining games, so it was a good choice to drop. He won’t immediately figure into my lineup, though, unless I see evidence that Brees is going out.

QB – Drew Brees
WR – Vincent Jackson
WR – Jeremy Maclin
RB – Thomas Jones
RB – Matt Forte
TE – Vernon Davis
K – Stephen Gostkowski
DEF – Denver

My opponent this week is going to be Richard Windsor. Projections put me at only four points in the lead. However, it’s easily still anyone’s game, since I had a single player actively playing on Thursday that lost five points from his projection. That would mean that I’m currently projected to lose by a single point. However, I’m not too concerned about the next two weeks, since I’m already guaranteed to be in the playoffs, and have my sights set on the end prize, and not on winning these final regular season games. I am, however, watching how the other top teams are doing, as I want to see who I’ll be up against. There is still a chance, albeit a slim one, that Cookie could join me in the top four, but I’m not counting my chickens, yet.

Stress Relief Video

A few days ago, Cookie and I finally found some time to be together for some spanking stress relief. This was done during one of my lunch hours, so we really didn’t have a lot of time. However, I had her set up the scene well in advance, including tidying up the room and picking out some implements that she wanted to play with. We also had the camera set up so that we could share the experience on our Birchwood Academy clips store, since we knew that you’d want to see the results. Here’s a sample of what took place.

I ended up putting two versions of this video up on my store. The first is simply the complete spanking from start to finish, as that is what most of my spanko customers would be interested in. However, after the spanking was over, there was some playful banter, followed by some sexual playtime while she was still over my knee. While this wouldn’t appeal to most of our readers, we felt that there would be some who would be interested in it. So, since Cookie didn’t feel that any of this part was too embarrassing or revealing for her, I went ahead and edited a longer version that included this additional racy footage. I hope that someone out there enjoys it.

Also, remember that December is customer appreciation month, so any video clip sold during this month will be used to calculate the number of swats delivered in a special video at the end of the month.

Discussion Overview - Question #17

With this discussion series, I asked my readers how they felt about the solidity of spanking relationships. The question was approached from several different angles, perhaps because of some confusion over what I meant by “solid.” Plus, we didn’t receive many replies, so there really wasn’t much to summarize this time around.

Are certain levels of spanking relationships more solid than others? Will the solidity of a relationship also determine how sacred other spankos will view that relationship? When would you consider it okay to negotiate a new relationship with someone who’s already involved, even if it means that the previous relationship will end because of it?

It was pretty much universally agreed that spanking relationships have different levels of involvement that can affect how solid the relationship is. The main factors that the replies felt went into this was how much real contact occurred between the active parties, how much distance separated the two on a regular basis, whether the relationship is based on play or more serious elements like punishment and discipline, and on the people involved. Which factors contributed the most, however, was up to debate, though distance and contact were among the top answers.

Now, as for how sacred others would view a relationship based on the solidity, the answers were as varied as the people giving them. Some felt that people shouldn’t worry about how others viewed their relationships, but others acknowledged that there are those who would see that the relationship is on shaky ground and take advantage of that fact. Most of the answers didn’t go into great detail, though, so there wasn’t much variation to sift through.

The final part of this discussion was when it might be alright to negotiate a new relationship with someone who was already involved, knowing that the person’s old relationship would end as soon as your new one began. A few of the answers skirted the issue, looking at the side of the person who was leaving the relationship, rather than the person who was taking them away. Of those that directly tackled the issue of the person attracting another away, it was agreed that it was never a good thing to do. There were allowances made for making yourself available to a person in an ailing relationship, but not to the point of stealing the person away directly. Most of the answers pointed to the person already in a failing relationship as the one who should communicate any problems, though, before seeking solace elsewhere. It was felt that a partner should be made aware that something is amiss and that a new relationship is being sought out. It shouldn’t be kept as a surprise.

New Pervertable

While helping Joyce to find a missing dustpan in her house, I stumbled across two tools which I immediately saw a possibility to pervert for spanking use. The items in question are a type of pipe wrench called a “strap wrench,” and is similar in design to the old oil filter wrenches that were composed of a metal band that tightens around the filter in order to loosen it. Pipe wrenches, usually utilize woven straps for this purpose, but the straps in these wrenches are made of rubber, like you would find on a typical bungee cord.

At first glance, they look simple enough. However, when I first picked them up, the straps were pulled tighter and were hanging out of the handle. I immediately saw the possibility for these to be used as rubber straps. A few quick tests convinced me of how useful these could possibly be. One is slightly thicker than the other, and produces a lot more impact as a result.

These “strap” wrenches, now twice as appropriately named, have a wicked sting that leaves considerable afterburn. Since they come with a built in grip, they’re an easy implement to handle, and can readily be explained as a common tool for plumbing to vanillas that stumble upon them. This could be yet another implement that could be hidden in plain sight, either under your kitchen sink, or in your garage toolbox.

Now, I have to find me a few of these. I’m not sure where to look, but I guess that a quick online search of the brand name should give me an idea.

Birchwood Academy Customer Appreciation Month

I’ve set December aside as Customer Appreciation Month at my Birchwood Academy clips store. Yes, at only a few months old, my store is a bit young to be having a Customer Appreciation Month, but I figured that I should set aside a month early on, or be stuck with April or some other month in the middle of the year. Besides, Customer Appreciation seems like a pretty good gift for the Holidays, too.

What this means to you, though, is that for the rest of this month, all videos will be marked down to the lowest price that our outlet allows. Also, at the end of the month, we’ll be making a special video where each model will receive a spanking based on this month’s sales. For each video sold in December, the model(s) appearing in that video will receive a number of strokes equal to the selling price of that video, rounding up. The strokes will be given with the most intimidating implement featured in that video.

In other words, if a video is sold at $4.99, and the hairbrush is the most intimidating implement used in it, then the model(s) appearing in that video will receive five swats with the hairbrush in the Customer Appreciation video for each time that the clip in question was sold during the month. If she also appeared in a video for $5.99 that featured the cane, then she’d receive six with the cane for each time that this video was sold during the month, additionally. This pattern will be repeated for each video that they appear in that was sold during the month. This could add up to a very long spanking for all of them before the month is over.

To remind everyone of who those models currently are, here are the video previews that we current have for our store.







Who wants to see these girls spanked hard at the end of this month, just for the fun of it?
