Here, I share all of my spanking history, thoughts, and experiences as they come. I have been having the time of my life and I want to share it with all of you!sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.comBlogger42125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-42462648229025511482011-01-31T20:49:00.000-08:002011-01-31T20:52:53.524-08:00A Pig Flies By While Sophie Updates!I am alive and well, and I've missed you all. :-)<br /><br />A few things that have happened since I last updated:<br /><br />*I moved<br /><br />*I started a new job<br /><br />*I went on a weekend trip to a cabin in Indiana with some awesome spanko friends. (Ella's account <a href="http://celifeindd.blogspot.com/2011/01/and-were-back.html">here</a>).<br /><br />*I shot with RS a couple of times, which is always a good time.<br /><br />*Last but not least. . . I was “discovered” by my older sister and brother-in-law a few weeks ago. Since I've kept this part of my life a secret from all of my family, this took A LOT of getting used to for all three of us.<br /><br />Thankfully, she has been very supportive and understanding about the whole thing. I don't think she plans to regularly read my blog, but if she does. . . Thanks, sis, for being so accepting and realizing that I'm still me, just a little more unique. That shouldn't be much of a surprise, anyway. :-)<br /><br />Honestly, it is a little bit of a relief for someone close to me to be to be “in the know.” It would probably make me feel better to hear stories from any of you who have had a similar outing experience. That is, if any of you are still stopping by!<br /><br />Between starting a new and challenging job and the above mentioned experience, I've separated myself a bit from the online kink world more than I would like. I truly do miss being more active here, but I can't make any promises until I get further settled into things. For now, I wanted to quickly update and reaffirm my appreciation for any readers. I'm slowly catching up on some emails, as well. <br /><br />I'm still here and craving a spanking. . . Imagine that. :-Dsophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-66331028446816161002010-12-09T18:48:00.000-08:002010-12-09T18:59:33.558-08:00Still Alive and Feelin' Ballsy. . .Well, SometimesIt's been a long time since I've updated, I know.<br /><br />For those of you who have patiently stuck around, you'll be happy to know (I know I am!) that I attended the last class of my college career today. Just one final exam next week, and then onto a new chapter!<br /><br />I'm in the midst of finding a new place to live, and finding time to get some holiday shopping done. While shopping today, I had a topic come into my mind and I thought, “What a perfect opportunity to revive my poor, neglected blog.”<br /><br />The topic of pain tolerance in spankos has been discussed many times before. I've heard a lot of spankees say that while they can handle a good amount of pain from a spanking, they're complete babies when it comes to other forms of physical pain (a stubbed toe, for example).<br /><br />I'm the same way, but I've also found another dichotomy in myself: how adventurous I am in my vanilla life vs. my spanko life.<br /><br />I'm not a risk taker. In most every situation, I quickly establish my comfort zone and remain there. Unlike the typical college-aged wanderer, I've lived in the same apartment for over half of my college career and have held the same part-time job for longer than that. I crave stability and thrive on list-making and plans.<br /><br />As a spanko, I'm completely different. I get giddy about trying new things and pushing my limits. I'm fearless when it comes to trying new and scary implements. Going past where I feel comfortable in a spanking excites me. My stomach flips at the thought of spontaneously being turned over someone's knee.<br /><br />It seems strange to me that my spanko self is most comfortable being uncomfortable, while my usual personality is so different from that.<br /><br />Can any of you relate?<br /><br />Also, a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has voted for me as <a href="http://thespankingspot.com/2010-spanking-awards-new-spankee-of-the-year/">New Spankee of the Year</a>. It has been a great year and I have all of you to thank. :-)sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-54755122040573829372010-11-13T13:23:00.000-08:002011-02-07T22:53:01.738-08:00Interview and Shoot!Yes, I know the announcement about my <a href="http://richardwindsor.com/?p=3277">interview</a> is delayed, but better late than never?<br /><br />My <a href="http://richardwindsor.com/?p=3277">interview</a> for <a href="http://richardwindsor.com/">Richard Windsor</a> has been up on his site for a few days now, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I love reading all of the positive feedback, too. Thanks, Rich, for the generous promotion!<br /><br />It was fun for me to shoot the interview with Danny, because I do like to share my experiences and spanko past with this awesome community. If you haven't checked it out yet,<a href="http://richardwindsor.com/?p=3277"> please do</a>!<br /><br /><div>At my<a href="http://www.realspankingspass.com/"> RealSpankings</a> shoot on Thursday, I got to shoot with another model, Frankie. She's fairly new, and very fun to work with, not to mention adorably spankable. :-) We started off in our school uniforms for RSI, and were made to strip down to only our socks and shoes and receive a hand spanking for messing around during our free hour.<br /><br />I have kind of a funny story here. Michael Masterson had me bent over grabbing my knees for the hand spanking, and I had the hardest time keeping my balance as he swatted away. It was quite distracting, and I kept stumbling forward and having to reset my position. Also, we realized after we had shot the first scene that there had been a misplaced bathrobe sitting on the table the entire time. Redo!</div><div><br /></div><div>Not really, but it does look a little out of place. Shooting spanking scenes doesn't always go so smoothly!<br /><br />For the second scene, we changed into gym uniforms and got strapped for failing to improve our fitness exams over the year. That was actually realistic for me; I despised gym class in school and never got decent grades even though my other grades were perfect. Whoever decided that kids need to dress in horrible uniforms and run around in circles obviously had problems. Oh, right, back to the shoot. . .Our third scene was a first for me, as I had never been paddled on camera before. Paddles are scary for me, and I genuinely fear them. Michael assured me that the paddle they used for their School Swats series was a lighter aspen wood and although it would be painful, it was over clothes and wouldn't be as bad as I thought.<br /><br />It was still bad. But I grimaced my way through it and was proud in the end. I even got to sign the School Swats paddle! Frankie braved her way through it, too.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't mark much at first, but a small bruise appeared on my right cheek a day later, and I still feel sore. Another successful shoot. :-)</div><div><br /></div><div>P.s. Oh! Also, the <a href="http://thespankingspot.com/tag/spanking-nominations-2010/">2010 Spanking Awards</a> are going on right now, and <a href="http://freshlyspanked.blogspot.com/?zx=79887fe7494909b2">Violetta</a> was sweet enough to nominate me for New Spankee of the Year. Realspankings got a lot of nominations as well, which is great.

But wouldn't it be strange if some mischievous girl were to start being defiant in her sleep? I experienced this a few nights ago, when I woke myself up in the middle of the night saying an angry “no!” In response to what, I'm not sure. I must have been dreaming about something horribly unfair being done to me, though. :-)<br /><br />This entry won't be very long, as I have a lot of reading to get done. I do have a few exciting, spanking related things coming up, though. My next shoot with Realspankings is this Thursday.<br /><br />Also, I had mentioned a while ago, before Shadow Lane, that I would be doing an interview with Richard Windsor. That didn't end up happening in Vegas because of our busy schedules, so we decided to do it a little different way. That will be up soon and I will post the link to it then.<br /><br />I hope everyone is enjoying their week! I can't believe it's already November and getting dark at 5 pm. It may be helpful for the farmers, but I like it to still be light as I'm coming home from my day.

I remember being so excited for this holiday growing up. I would pick out my costume months in advance, go to class parties, trick-or-treat for hours.<br /><br />I even remember sneaking into my older sister's room one night to steal some of her candy stash (I always ate mine faster than she did).<br /><br />This year wasn't quite as exciting, but I still managed to have some fun. Danny and I went to a kinky Halloween party Friday night, and I got a nice, hard belting that I still have a tiny bruise from. I'd really been craving a hard spanking all week (school has been stressful!) and so it felt good to fall asleep with a warm bottom that night.<br /><br />Yesterday, I had a scary movie night with some friends and watched <span style="font-style:italic;">The Fog</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">Quarantine</span>. The latter was the scariest and I actually had trouble sleeping! I don't know why I torture myself with scary movies, but I love when I can find a good one. Any recommendations?<br /><br />On a different note, my friend Henry Higgins visited again a little while ago, and we had fun with some role play spankings. He brought me a genuine British school uniform and I got to feel the slipper for the first time. It really stings! I was very red and sore by the end.<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-yvHRMIpX9pwEe2z19GtRDLrI89jaHqNWrJFAlugGOWbnhRcWmGPW6QIfam5jOx3_g4spqrYyTPBTx_7FqoU9jx76kgG5q9yC2dhLb6SqnxP2QwIJ3JswBuQ_a2c9CuEB6Y9PVcgNMU/s320/HH1.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534763326716214066" />I hope everyone had a safe and slightly scandalous weekend!sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-21298164795369829962010-10-25T17:55:00.000-07:002010-10-25T18:05:52.849-07:00The Matter at Hand<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>First of all, thank you to everyone who participated in LOL Day! The comments made my day a lot better. :-) Now, onto that matter. . .<br /><br />Being human means that we are inherently attracted to certain features on other humans. We notice nice smiles, good hair, smooth skin, and body shape. One psychological study found that a symmetrical face was the most appealing even to young infants, who would focus their gaze on the symmetrical picture for seconds longer than those that were less balanced.<br /><br />With all of the attractive features to choose from, some people may find it hard to believe that the thing I notice first and am drawn to are large, masculine hands.<br /><br />There's just something about them. I think about what they can do: hold me tight, make me feel safe, fix things around the house, play music, operate machines, give a firm handshake, or hold me down during a firm spanking.<br /><br />I've been guilty of checking out the hands of my male classmates during lectures, and if I like what I see, I'm more likely to talk to them or send them a smile.<br /><br />It may be strange, or picky, but it's a fact. Do any of you have a similar attraction, or something uniquely different? <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilNOGTL8n4PtQoh-kj7zoNgv1XJPqMUk0B-SoaMa3DxNKlEVoAEZocSnMYGNl8ibtObQzJSq3OzoQ5Pd2Tc7KVzOFdiuYoDnlnFoNSfxdHYtCcLJGnqYxuV6G0fETmF80bnGgbXffcfFM/s320/strong+hands.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 197px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532154273615502338" /><br />Let's see a show of hands!

I've always liked the idea, and I remember leaving a few comments on my favorite blogs years ago, when I was an avid lurker! It felt good to make my presence known to the blog writers I appreciated so much.<br /><br />Since starting this blog (and looking at the handy Statcounter), I know that I have a lot more readers than commenters. So, if you feel so inclined, I would love to receive comments from any lovely lurkers that may be around. If you'd rather just send an email, I love getting those too!<br /><br />spankingsophie@gmail.com<br /><br />I've gotten to know so many great people through creating this blog, and I really do thank any and all of you who stop by to read.<br /><br /><3sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-58598883663728627552010-10-15T13:35:00.000-07:002010-10-15T13:44:09.333-07:00Implement MadnessWe all have our favorites and (more importantly) our least favorites. Some prefer leather over wood, some despise canes, some limit themselves to hand only. This is a prime example of just how differentiated our little community can be.<br /><br />Here are a few of my personal favorites:<br /><br />1.<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Hand</span>- This will always be my favorite, The intimacy involved in skin-to-skin contact, the spontaneity and constant availability, the large range from soft, sensual pats to hard, stinging slaps. Mmmm.<div><br />2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Belt</span>- So domestically classic and perfect for my headspace. The belt is in my fantasies constantly. The stern look, the belt being unbuckled, slipping slowly (yet quickly) through the belt loops, the folding over, the rolling up of sleeves. The belt epitomizes manly dominance and causes my stomach to flip.<div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7v86FSHd7-U7ELUn55ctrl5_WWVfs9qW_s6D3WDCRk1wCcW0W08JTns0-BDSTw_3RPII7Omspc6mgqdTJFvAZtkgDDFklhrRA99Vk85mGTrc3kGRw10-l-DSIC0sAcHkW_NUd97XD7pE/s200/cane11.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 158px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528375834498139010" />3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Cane</span>- This satisfies my less frequent desire for cold, detached discipline. There is nothing friendly or intimate about the cane, and that's why I love it. It stings immensely and leaves an after burn that can be reignited easily by sitting. Plus, it leaves lovely marks. :-)<div><br />It's kind of funny that my top three favorite implements are the four letter words. Perhaps that's appropriate, seeing as I feel like screaming other four letter words during particularly hard swats!<br /><br />I do probably deserve a harsher spanking with some of the above implements for waiting nearly two weeks to post a blog. It really is important to me to keep up with my rules, so I apologize for that.<br /><br />This past weekend, my good friend Malignus came to stay with me, and we had two days full of spanking and fun. Also, Danny and I uploaded a couple more clips to our <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">store</a>, including another week of discipline diary as well as a double belting we filmed with Kat and Kyle in Vegas.

As I'm sure all bloggers know, it is sometimes a struggle to come up with something to write about when you're just going through the daily grind. Of course, I wish I had some really mind blowing event to tell you about.</div><div><br /></div>Note to self: do more mind blowing things for the sake of your blog.<br /><br />Do any of you have something you'd like me to write about? I know Michael requested that I write about my latest shoot in the new studio.<div><br /></div><div>I always have a great time shooting with <a href="http://www.realspankingspass.com/">RS</a>, but this time was especially fun because I got to mix things up a little bit. The studio is a mansion with an outdoor pool, jacuzzi, and some tree-covered acreage. All of this creates amazing shoot opportunities!</div><div><br /></div><div> I have to admit, I found myself a little disoriented in the new space. I had just gotten used to the old, factory-style studio (which I constantly got lost in) and now I was navigating my way through room after room, trying to find the set I was shooting on.</div><div><br />The first shoot we did was very true to my real life: I fell asleep while studying and was awoken by Mr. M, who proceeded to strap me (rude awakening!).<div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyyDQI7VZlvznHON6TVcMFTm2Er_DgTHjCh-d_6NhGre8D2Y3AFNTeg2jfSpbNcITLxK4l-mxveWRU1-TgUhUd7S1W4mzCz-4YBeMvQXHbTlsXKmRq7kobzxDIAHHkk3svSVBcp9cVAN8/s320/SleepRS.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523980878773886482" /></div><div>While the strapping wasn't overly hard, it caused a tiny abrasion on one of my cheeks and bled a little bit. It happens, and I wasn't worried, but the crew decided to do my second scene over clothes. It was an old fashioned caning where I received a dozen strokes over my skirt. That was the first time I had been caned over clothes, and it was definitely a different sensation. Less sting, more thud.</div><div><br />In the third scene, I got to dress as a french maid and go outside to pick a switch (a fetish of mine, so it made me happy). The maid outfit was left over from a feature film that RS did a while back, called Maid For Punishment.<br /><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, Danny and I have been filming a lot of great content lately for <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">Clips4Sale</a>.

It got me thinking about the age factor and just how it plays into this kink of ours.<br /><br />I've heard from several people that in the spanking video business, a woman can only model as a bottom until a certain age before she has to start topping. I don't like that idea. I don't have anything against female tops, but I'm certainly not one of them. It's unfortunate that there's an age limit of female bottoms in videos, but it's not realistic in the real world. I know that when I'm ninety years old, I'll still have the desire to be spanked. Hopefully I can find some willing gentleman then, but we'll see. Speaking of gentleman, how unfair is it that they're still in their spanking prime much later in life? Such injustice in this world.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the present. It's a week after the start of my discipline diary, and I've been doing pretty well. Not perfect, though, and I didn't follow every rule completely. Danny and I sat down yesterday to go over my list, and I was punished for not completing all of it. How was I punished, you may ask? Well, we decided to turn the camera on during our discussion, so you can see it at our <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">Clips4Sale</a> store.

I realize, of course, that academics need to be my first priority. Senior year would be a bad time to start slacking!<br /><br />But doing spankin<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0D3qFE3mPFT_99P5s56An0WJCaxJtekaeuu4fT30apAh4-j4DI1E9YCMhwPDzQAsLy_7zkaHl-ZBxqTJUNInS9vakj0bdHusJadvM0x5cIm1f8w_jXUt6Aj4TQyZEId7aY-WFCxwxaxU/s200/journaling.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 142px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518754572625322210" />g blogs and videos is something I enjoy a lot, and don't want to give up. With all of that in mind, I decided to ask Danny for some help in managing my time and keeping me motivated so that I can get everything done without having to give things up. We decided that I would start keeping track of this through a discipline diary.<br /><br />I've already blogged about the various types of spankings that exist, and discipline is a big one. I've heard a lot of people say that spanking can't be used to effectively discipline a spanko, because they enjoy it too much. I think there is some truth to that, but I don't comp<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-357OUhi81q5n-07wexOflC-DW_UJlTsnHgrtkXbofIgAa-7UGdpbsKilRJ22GSf_YEOQbZXHSPKypdqjVs6wSkAzxK385zuqRVP03tt1fUi6_grDKbWF9kyAbE7F-xgYPgl9-Ljy6ZA/s200/procrastination.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 195px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518754281919579826" />letely agree.<br /><br />For me, knowing that someone is keeping track of what I do and holding me accountable to the goals I set for myself is both comforting and helpful. I can tell myself that I will get my essay done by Friday, but then easily make an excuse and give myself too much slack. If someone else knows what I need to be doing, I'm more likely to get it done. Exercising regularly is easier if you do it with a friend, and I see this in much the same way. If I don't follow the rules I've laid out, there is an added element of guilt because I am disappointing myself.<br /><br />I had already been given a few rules by my friend Malignus, and I told Danny everything I wanted to focus on for this semester specifically. Together, we made 5 rules that I will be held accountable for:<br /><br />1. 5 minutes or more playing guitar, 4 days a week.<br /><br />2. 1 hour of productive school-related work every day.<br /><br />3. 1 blog entry per week, and 1 hour of maintenance / replies to blog comments.<br /><br />4. Once a week, log in to both bank accounts, review card activity, pay bills if necessary.<br /><br />5. 6 meals per week must be made at home.<br /><br />I'm happy with this list because the rules are not too overwhelming, and they cover some basic problems I've been having with procrastination and time management. Number one is there because I've wanted to play guitar (I used to play the violin) for a long time and have trouble remembering to practice. The others are pretty self explanatory. So now that I've posted them here, more people can help to keep me accountable!<br /><br />Danny has said that he will check in once a week and I will keep track of things in a journal. If I'm not doing so well, you can probably guess what happens. We'll see if it helps. :-)<br /><br />Have any of you tried something similar to this, and has it been effective? I hope everyone's weekend was great. Danny and I went to a small, local spanking party Friday night, and it was a lot of fun catching up with a few Shadow Laners and getting to play. Back to school tomorrow!sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-38832072856602754402010-09-13T21:40:00.000-07:002010-09-13T21:41:42.810-07:00More Tidbits<div style="text-align: left;">I know, all this Shadow Lane talk is probably getting old, but I forgot to mention a few things:</div><br />Last Monday, when we were still in Vegas, Danny and I met up with <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/62674">Kyle</a> and <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/19631">Kat</a> to do some videos for Clips4Sale. We all had a great time and got some excellent footage with lots of variety: Danny and Kyle spanking Kat and I, and <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/223873">Paul</a> (the wonderful host of many a SL suite party) spanking me.<br /><br />Speaking of that last one, Kyle just posted it on <a href="http://www.spankingtube.com/watch/5b9d65d80e25eb862e67/An-Innocent-Mistake,-starring-Sophie-Gray!">Spankingtube</a>, so people can go and see it for free. We had a lot of fun with that one, and I play the part of an innocent church-going girl who answers a Craigslist ad to keep Paul company. He asked for a girl who likes OTK, but I'm far too innocent to know anything about that (yeah, unlikely, but enjoy!). There's great spanking in it, too. :-)<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamR05QIwa3tAc9OOlbMZpWNw392gYRZMUV2rKhrKi-om9WX1qZfFvS1mLtqWjlEHfHeviTRbMXuH92Vz4z1Ft7GDLW9aCL_1F4X672SNvi81iiCzHnwJjCA_vJ0CXKTh-5ZjmbstjE1Y/s320/Picture+2.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 227px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516622838411004066" />Also, a new clip is now up on <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">Clips4Sale</a>. It doesn't include me, but it's a great video (also taken during Shadow Lane) starring Danny and Lily Starr. In this one, Danny spanks Lily for being too promiscuous at her first spanking party and agreeing to play with all the creepy guys (who definitely made an appearance during the party, but I won't name names!). She gets a hard hand spanking and then the belt, and it's in high definition, too!<br /><br />And as long as you're in a spanking video mood, check out my latest update on <a href="http://www.realspankingsinstitute.com/update_images.php?v=aWQ9OTcyNg==">RealSpankingInstitute</a>, where I get the belt for sneaking into a back room with another student, Monica. My next shoot with them is coming up, and will be in their new studio, which has lots of opportunities for outdoor shoots!<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4EP0eLsSaRVv1-aEv6Ua3nD-7iCS1klYu7eUpekvMsI-cj9aW60PVH-MxFqrVksqPfH4uqX94V6lNiT0ImL5yfhyGl-k-_1ujVGe7Kjp1TVOO8Tq1j_zVAGD5N2eoXk_dGDQxOpykdM0/s320/RSI.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516622326873036594" />I'm slowly getting over party drop and getting back into the swing of things. I came home to a lot of school responsibilities; I just finished writing a paper on culture and reworking my resume (I've never needed to make one until now!). Why can't life just be rainbows, gum drops, and spanking parties all the time?sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-35274039659206446162010-09-09T16:34:00.000-07:002010-09-09T16:46:50.444-07:00Shadow Lane Party- SundayDanny and I lingered in bed until around 11, when we showered and went downstairs to get breakfast at Cafe Siena yet again. The staff there must have hated us. As soon as we arrived, we ran into a big group of friends and attempted to slide two tables together to accommodate everyone. A hostess quickly strolled over to rebuke us, so we sat at two different tables. After we were seated, Erica and J came in and joined us; it was great to sit and chat for a bit. <br /><br />After that, we only had a little time to rest before heading to StrictDave's CP Court up in Tom's suite. It was great to watch couples accusing each other of petty crimes, and the sweetest one was when Jenni Mack accused Miss Chris of being the “best, most wonderful Ma'am ever”. The sentence was one big hug. :-)<br /><br />While I was watching the Court, FiremanChris was texting me that he was almost back from the airport, and I was to meet him in his room for our scene. Danny went down to socialize at the casino's bar while I went up to Chris's room. We had a great scene, complete with a hand spanking, some corner time, and then some time with his evil wooden hairbrush. He was kind and didn't use it full force, but it still stung! It was great to relax and talk with him after, too.<br /><br />I had one more pre -arranged play date before the suite parties that night, and it was with Jersey John, a good friend of Danny's who I instantly enjoyed spending time with (he had a deliciously crass sense of humor and was easy to make conversation with). I decided to head back to my room to rest a bit before that, so I got on the elevator to my floor. <br /><br />As I got off, I saw Keith Jones waiting to get on. Many ladies can attest to the fact that Keith is a major heartthrob in the spanking world, and I had wanted to play with him for a long time. We had discussed it earlier, but both of us had been keeping busy. Not wanting to lose out on the opportunity, I boldly walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.<br /><br />“When are we going to play?” <br /><br />“Are you busy now?”<br /><br />“No.”<br /><br />“Alright, then, let's go to my room.”<br /><br />And off we went to his room, where we had a pleasant conversation and I went over his knee for a wonderfully relaxing and gentle hand spanking. Just what I wanted. :-)<br /><br />I made it back to the room in time for Jersey John to stop by and escort me to his room. We chatted and he fed me chocolate chip cookies (I immediately liked him a lot more). I went over his knee and he spanked me with his hand (which was huge and heavy, and felt very hard on my already sore bottom!) and I got a little with his hairbrush too. <br /><br />When we had finished, John and I met Danny and GenSass down in Matt's suite, where we relaxed for a while before going down to eat dinner with a large, fun group at the Mexican place in the Casino. I was already feeling tired by this point, but there was still one more night of suite parties to go. Up in our room, I changed into a plaid, woolen mini skirt along with a black top and patent leather heels. <br /><br />Soon after arriving in Tom's suite, Tony (the organizer of FMS, not Shadow Lane) asked if I would like a caning. I had done well in pacing myself with hand-only spankings, so I was ready to play a little harder, and agreed to the caning. <br /><br />I was bent over the back of the couch, my skirt lifted, and before I knew it I glanced back to see that Danny had also grabbed a cane; the two of them were switching off the cane strokes! It turned into a competition of sorts, seeing which of them could hit the exact same spot two times in a row. Bill joined in after a bit and each of them gave me a few final, hard strokes. I sat with Danny on the couch and cuddled a bit after, but then I was up and socializing again. <br /><br />I think it was about this time in the evening that I was chatting with Erica and J and decided that Erica should get spanked by Danny once again (she did get me in trouble on the first night,after all). So, being the helpful girl that I am, I handed her a glass of water and pointed to Danny, who was behind the bar at the time. Erica flicked some of the water in his face and within seconds she was being pulled off of her stool and bent over the couch. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I sat with J who was giving me a hard time about “throwing his girlfriend under the bus.” He then proceeded to grab a pile of canes from a nearby table and pass them out to all the Tops, telling them to take a turn on Erica. I stopped him and said, “And you said it was ME throwing her under the bus?” <br /><br />I got a couple more fun hand spankings before heading to Paul's suite, where they were playing a game of Spanko Blackjack. I joined in for a while, and Danny came into the suite shortly after with AZ Carolyn. I remember starting to feel worn out around then, but I was hesitant to end the night because it was the last party, and I wanted to make the most of it! <br /><br />At some point, Erica and J came in to the room, and things began to wind down. After lots of hugs and goodbyes in the room and at the elevator, Danny and I collapsed into bed once more.<br /><br />While most people were already gone or leaving early Monday morning, our flight wasn't until late Monday evening, so we had the whole next day to pack up, meet with a few friends, and do some shooting for Clips4Sale. I will write about that in my next post!<br /><br />I did want to quickly thank everyone who made my first Shadow Lane experience such an amazingly unforgettable one. I didn't get to play with everyone I wanted to and I would have loved to have more talking time with people, but I fit in what I could and I'm very happy with how it worked out. I miss everyone already and can't wait to do it again. :-Dsophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-6623863743810498432010-09-08T22:54:00.000-07:002010-09-08T23:01:26.238-07:00Shadow Lane Party- SaturdaySorry for the delay in getting these out, guys, I was swamped with schoolwork immediately after returning from this wonderful trip! Please “bare” with me. ;-)<br /><br />Danny woke me up around 11 am and suggested we go down to the hot tub before breakfast, which sounded like a good idea until I actually walked outside and hit the wall of heat. Something about this party I noticed right away was that it was all very contained in the hotel. Everything we could ever want or need was right there: casino, bowling alley, bar, several restaurants, even a movie theater. I probably exited the building only twice the entire weekend. <br /><br />Anyway, <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/279913">GenSass</a>, her hubby, and Gia met us down by the hot tub. We all decided within seconds that we should switch over to the cold pool, and so we all rambunctiously splashed around (actually, I sat quietly on the edge like a good girl while Danny doused water on innocent bystanders) before deciding to get some breakfast at Cafe Siena.<br /><br />Back up in our room, I showered and changed into a purple and gray sundress before we headed up to the SSNY suite for their afternoon party. It was a great crowd, and they played some of their hilarious spoof videos in which a spanking bottom gets violated, and then another one about bratting. As I sat at a table and chatted with <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/105327">Iggy</a> and <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/20741">Sarah</a>, I was texting <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/17690">Fireman Chris</a>, who I had chatted with for a long time before the party. We were both eager to set up a play date, so I told him where the room was and he arrived a little later.<br /><br />The scene we had discussed was a discipline scene, and we had agreed to make it private so I could better get into the head space. Since everyone was still in suite party mode, though, we decided to save the discipline part for later and Chris instead found an empty spot on one of the beds to give me a quick hand spanking (which are, as everyone knows, the best kind of introduction!). Afterward, I mingled a bit more and ran into Sarah again <br /><br />She had just finished playing with <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/75728">Djinn</a>, whom she highly recommended. Never being one to to ignore a good Spanker recommendation, I walked up to Djinn and chatted a bit, which ultimately resulted in me being led down to his room for a play session. That guy really had a way of getting into my head and making me feel ten times smaller than I already am, and I came out of it feeling very blissful and wobbly. <br /><br />Danny tracked me down again, and we headed up to our room to lay down for a bit and get dressed for the formal dinner. The theme for the night was Mad Men, and I wore a yellow and black 60's style dress that I paired with Hounds-tooth heels and some pearl earrings that Danny had bought for me down in the hotel gift shop (I know. What a charmer). :-)<br /><br />The dinner was great, there was good food, better company, and some fun dancing going on. At one point, Danny dragged me over to a chair next to the dance floor and turned me over his knee for a brisk hand spanking. You would think that would get a few looks, but it's funny how normal it becomes for a spanking to occur anywhere on these weekends!<br /><br />After dinner, it was time to hit up the suite parties once again. We started off in the Northern Spanking suite, where I chatted with Paul, Stephen, and Leia Ann Woods. They were all lovely to talk with as always, and Paul told me he would love to shoot with me if they came back next year. I told him that sounded like a lot of fun. :-)<br /><br />We ended up back in Tom's suite, where everyone tended to gather toward the end of the night. I was sitting on the couch talking to Ann, a woman who had come to Shadow Lane for the first time, when <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/30710">StrictDave</a> came to sit next to me and asked if I was ready to play. <br /><br />I had heard excellent things about his spanking style, so I had asked him early on if he would be willing to play when he had the chance. Both him and I were eager to do a discipline scene, so I briefly told him about some issues I was having (procrastination, having trouble saying “no”, really any excuse to get spanked) and he pulled me over his lap. He spanked me firmly with his hand, pausing intermittently to lecture and rub a bit. It was great fun!<br /><br />I was feeling pretty sore by this point (I should point out that I was very careful to rub lotion into my bottom and use ice each night before bed), but I had my eye on one last play date before the night was over, and that was the infamous flogger Fineous. We went into a bedroom and I sprawled out on my stomach while he worked his magic, flogging from my toes to my neck. I was nearly snoring by the time he was done, so after we said our good nights, Danny and I headed up to the room to rest up for the next day.sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-2850782842237056552010-09-07T21:14:00.000-07:002010-09-07T21:27:11.563-07:00Shadow Lane Party- FridayI think a layer of my skin may have been spanked off. But oh, was it worth it! I am slowly coming down from a wonderful weekend in Vegas, meeting so many people who I hope to remain friends with for a long time. Danny and I woke up at the crack of dawn on Friday to catch our plane, and we arrived at the SunCoast Hotel around nine in the morning. Danny immediately ran into some of his friends (the man knows EVERYONE there) and we had a low-key lunch.<br /><br />While we were eating, a man approached our table and asked if I was Sophie. It was Michael, a fan of the <a href="http://www.realspankingspass.com/">RealSpankings</a> sites who I had been emailing back and forth with for a while before the party. It is always nice to be able to put a face to the conversations! Afterward, we went up to the room to nap in anticipation of the festivities that would be keeping us up late. I had heard enough about these parties to know that I could not get through them without staying well rested!<br /><br />I've also heard others say what a blur the parties are, and it's true. Though I had a great time with each person I played with, I can't for the life of me remember each one perfectly, so I may leave some people out; please forgive me if I do, as it's nothing personal! After our nap, Danny and I headed down to the casino's coffee shop, where there was a small gathering of people from the <a href="http://www.worldspankingforum.com/">WorldSpankingForum</a> (organized by Michael). We chatted there for a bit before heading up to our room to shoot a clip for our store with <a href="http://clips4sale.com/studio/38370">Bill and Katee</a>, who I had been talking with before the party as well.<br /><br />I had vowed to myself that I wouldn't do a lot of shooting while at the party; I had to pace myself, after all! But Danny and I got some great spanking video footage, and the full video will be on my <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">Clips4Sale store</a> soon!<br /><br />After that, it was time to eat a quick dinner and head up to the Vendor's Fair in the ballroom.<br /><br />It was fun to walk around the booths and shake hands with some people I recognized, as well as meeting many new faces. I'd like to take a second to emphasize just how friendly the Northern Spanking Group is. They are all so pleased to be among friends and are completely courteous.<br /><br />I got to briefly talk with <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/8823">Jules</a> from SSNY, who told me that someone had recommended me as a possible subject for one of their discipline videos. I would have loved to take the opportunity, but I didn't want to fit that into an already spank-filled weekend. I told her I would love to if I was ever in her area. Let's see, who else? <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/63744">Lily Starr</a> and <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/103568">Sarah Gregory</a> both had booths and were both pleasant to chat with. I got to meet <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/153209">Chelsea Pfeiffer</a> and <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/26199">Abigail Whittaker</a>, both of whom I have admired from their videos.<br /><br />I was REALLY excited when I saw <a href="http://ericascottlls.blogspot.com/">Erica Scott</a> and J walk in. Erica was immediately off greeting and hugging people, but Danny introduced me to J, who promptly walked me over to meet Erica. If there was one person I was looking forward to meeting the most, it was her, and I gave her a big hug. As everyone is aware, I admire this lady so much. Her wit, her sass, not to mention her legendary bionic bottom, it's all more noticeable in person! She introduced me to <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/421925">Andy</a>, a lovely gentleman who I played with later that night at a suite party.<br /><br />After the Vendor's Fair, we went up to our room to freshen up and headed out to the suite parties. We started out at Carolyn's suite, as it was her birthday, and then headed up to the big party in Tom's room. It was hoppin', and I got to play several times, and have a lot of playful fun, including the incident Erica writes on her blog where she poured water on Danny's head (while I was over his lap!).<br /><br />We then went down to Paul's suite to end the night, and Danny went off to play with Lily while I stayed and talked. I played a few more times, including getting a few swats with a cricket bat that the other girls were afraid to try (I always love a spanking challenge!)<br /><br />I can't remember a lot of other specifics, only that I felt instantly comfortable and happy with the group that was there. We stayed awake socializing until about 2:30 am, when we stumbled back up to our room. I fell asleep within seconds of hitting the pillow.sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-11530404395766172132010-09-01T16:04:00.000-07:002010-09-01T18:23:09.909-07:00Off to Shadowlane!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>This will be my last post before heading to Vegas for the big party Friday morning; I can't wait to meet some of you there! And for those of you who cannot attend, I will be sure and do a detailed write-up after the party, as do many other attendees.<br /><br />Looking back, I feel very lucky to have had the opportunities in the spanking community present themselves so early on. I never would have thought that I would be attending a party like this at the age of 21, especially one that I have been reading about and wishing I could go to since the age of 15! Along with that excitement does come nerves, and I hope I can relax enough to enjoy my time there without getting too overwhelmed. We'll see!<br /><br />Keep your eye out for an interview I'm planning on doing with <a href="http://richardwindsor.com/">Richard Windsor</a> while there, as well as some new and exciting clips on my <a href="http://www.clips4sale.com/store/40747">clips4sale store</a>. Speaking of which, Danny and I just shot another one recently which is going to be really good. It's a spanking I received the day after a party we attended. I had told him I was going to find my shoes, and ten minutes later he comes out to find me distracted, cuddled up to a guy on the couch (When will I learn?) High def, lots of angles, and awesome spanking action, of course!

If I may just indulge in a mini rant for a moment: why is it that college textbooks are so damned expensive? It always puts me in a bad mood when I’m writing a $250 check for something I know couldn’t have cost more than 45 cents to produce in mass. And the professors are always telling us that we must get the latest edition, because there are some things added to it that haven’t appeared in the last, cheaper addition. Personally, I could care less if the chapters have slightly different page numbers. Like poor college students really need another way to waste money. Okay, rant over. :-)<div><br />This is actually my last year of college, so I suppose I should just enjoy this precious time before entering the real working world. I’ll try and let go of some of the stress. Speaking of letting go of stress, spankings are a great way to go about accomplishing that! So I of course have to make sure I make plenty of time for them. I am so, so, so excited about the upcoming Shadowlane party! Only one more week to go. I will have to take some of the advice of well meaning friends and be sure to pace myself throughout the weekend.<br /><br />I just got home from a spanking shoot this morning, in which I was belted, caned, and paddled. I bent over to snap a picture of the results a few minutes ago, but the marks were already mostly faded. I guess it’s convenient that my bottom doesn’t hold marks for very long, but it would be nice to have proof of my spankings every once in a while! There is still a little redness to be seen, though. I’m no Erica Scott yet. ;-)<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZDDIWADZxXvAN9r9VMedV-8T7FW-GAM0cpFfFzbPRsBb8hyAVZTm2YCkwpOqUr8ThzuQIIrenu4ja4JVae5dc4ZT0VGwNsc_zFPKZ9yF3A5r_dTHt191BDga0fGGSp9PsIq6ytXn9qUg/s320/DSC01055.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509870198054964530" />Also, please be sure and check out this wonderful interview I did with Suzy on her <a href="http://suzysspankworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/introducing-sophie-gray.html">blog</a>; I really enjoyed answering her questions and was appreciative of the lovely write-up she posted!

So much fun that we have decided to open our own Clips4Sale store. :-)<div><br />This is something I have wanted to do for a long time.

The clips we have made so far are great quality, shot from several angles with some storyline, but mostly hard and very real spanking.

When I first became involved in the scene, it seemed to me that it was fairly straightforward; spankings were either for punishment or for fun. As I explored further, however, I realized that is hardly the case!<br /><br />When broken down, it seems as though there could be hundreds of different types of spankings. Different impetuses, styles, dynamics, and severity all come into play. My good friend <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/87107">Malignus </a>started a group on <a href="http://fetlife.com/">Fetlife </a>called <a href="http://fetlife.com/groups/18819">All Sorts of Spanking</a>, in which he discusses the types of spankings he has encountered throughout the years. The list includes ageplay, arbitrary, calming, chastisement, demonstrative, erotic, fun, mandatory, maintenance, milestone, motivational, preventive, reaffirmative, reminder, roleplay, romantic, sensual, special occasion, therapeutic, and threshold. Say that three times fast!<br /><br />While a lot of these may overlap in some ways, I think there is a lot of truth to the fact that spanking can be quite diverse, and that's what makes it so versatile and exciting. I've heard some kinksters in the BDSM community say that spankos are very specific, and picky about what they like. That may be true, but we do like our variety too! I can get equal joy and fulfillment out of a therapeutic punishment spanking, a light hearted birthday spanking, or quick reminding slaps to the bottom throughout the day. I love arbitrary spankings too, because who needs a real reason to give or get a good spanking, anyway? I mean, I am breathing and blinking, and those are certainly spankable offenses. :-)<br /><br />What are your favorite, or most commonly practiced types of spanking? Are there certain kinds that you haven't yet experienced, but are on your spanko to-do list?<br /><br />Also, Part 2 of my RSI scene is now out. In it, Danny gives me a hard strapping and then puts me in timeout to think about my behavior. This was a hard one to take, and my reactions were very genuine, let me assure you! Take a <a href="http://www.realspankingsinstitute.com/update_images.php?v=aWQ9OTY3OQ==">look</a>. :-)<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYDEySKl9b8yNZ9v9b04HjsfG3NDaAq30qnM3Yybr9tG5FujaL8aJynJ96l6XyyOVVuYLm9b6ECkpPicDyQz_YCmd1bR9RXkqoOFEkJGKYfBCNTuUzgVPEYo6THe87xvgBu_bFvJkxlFk/s320/9679_014.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506452786663385346" />sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-70495028276836069502010-08-12T11:27:00.000-07:002010-08-12T11:38:58.253-07:00New Computer and RSI updates<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I am currently typing on my brand spanking new computer, and I'm loving it. :-) It's taken a while to get all of the settings back the way I like them, but I'm definitely enjoying the faster speeds and new gadgets that weren't present on my three-year-old machine. I also got my car window replaced, as well as the majority of other possessions that were stolen in the computer bag. Thank you all so much for the well wishes, they made me feel a lot better. :-)<br /><br />My summer vacation is coming to an end already, I can't believe it! Soon I'll be having to buy books and attend classes and deal with homework and assignments. Ugh. I hope I can find the motivation before then. Is there some way to be motivated to keep on track with schoolwork? Hmm...<br /><br />Speaking of which, another scene of mine came out a couple days ago on <a href="http://realspankingsinstitute.com/updates.php">RealSpankingsInstitute</a>. This is from my second time shooting with them, and is Part 1 of a two part scene in which I'm hand spanked for slacking off. Part 2 (a strapping) should follow soon!

It was quite a stressful night, but things are slowly getting resolved, and I'll be getting my car window fixed tomorrow.<br /><br />But my laptop is gone. :-( It really makes me angry that someone saw it fit to steal a laptop (only to sell it for not that much money, I'm sure, as it was three years old) while I had to lose several of my documents and pictures. But it happens. And the bright side is that I get to buy a new computer!<br /><br />It will take some time to shop for one and get all of that squared away, though, so I wanted to quickly post and say that future posts will be delayed a little bit. Don't worry, it sucks for me too. I have been suffering from computer withdrawal already! So, that's what's going on in Sophie Land. I will see you all soon. :-)sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-72561851767811742872010-08-05T16:43:00.000-07:002010-08-05T16:56:48.067-07:00Blissipline and FunishmentMany of you have probably heard of the popular Facebook-style website for fetishists called <a href="http://fetlife.com/home">Fetlife</a>. I've greatly enjoyed meeting and keeping in touch with friends through there, and I've also had a lot of fun updating my fetish list and adding pictures to my profile. The fetish lists on there can easily become out of control, as you can add everything from being into “a man rolling up his sleeves” to being into receiving “big wads of cold hard cash” (both of which are on my fetish list!). Another one of my favorites is on my friend<a href="http://fetlife.com/users/153578"> Carolyn808</a>'s profile. After her list of spanking related fetishes that she is into, she has listed that she is “curious about being a good girl”. :-D<br /><br />Anyhow, as I was perusing through some more fetishes recently, I found two that I think are both witty and accurate for many spankos. I am now into both <a href="http://fetlife.com/fetishes/82864">blissipline</a> and <a href="http://fetlife.com/fetishes/36072">funishment</a>. Now, these can of course signify different things to different people.

As much as I may protest and struggle, it is something I would not want to go through life without. When I can reach that wonderful subspace, during a hard and thorough spanking, I am very much in bliss. And then there is always the punishment that is just for fun, two spankos truly enjoying what they have in common; that's a great feeling too.<br /><br />It does make me grateful that I was born with this unique quality, and that there are so many others who I can share that joy with. Sure, it is sometimes more difficult to find a fulfilling relationship, or to be completely honest with others. But the glass is more than half full of that wonderful fluttery feeling in my stomach, the warm afterglow on my bottom, and the simple fact that it's just so damn FUN.sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-75836673243335611172010-08-01T15:29:00.000-07:002010-08-01T15:41:44.955-07:00Meeting Danny and some random thoughts on Public SpankingsI was looking through some of my backed up folders on my computer today, and I found a picture I had taken of myself on my webcam. It's a little less than a year old, and was taken on the first evening I ever met Danny Chrighton. We had corresponded via Fetlife for some time, and decided to meet at a cafe. I was pretty starstruck by him, as I had seen him in some of my favorite spanking videos and had read about him in various blogs. Out meeting went really well, and I was able to talk about the spanking industry and everyone in it to my heart's delight. Danny ended up turning me over his knee and giving me a quick hand spanking right there in the cafe (it was a slow time and no one was around, we had the whole little room to ourselves. I think the waitress may have heard us, though, because she had a knowing smile on her face when she came back with our order!). Afterwards, we went back to his house, where he proceeded to spank me with a few of his implements. I think a small wooden paddle and cane were used.<br /><br />It was a great visit, and upon my return home, I immediately got on the computer to chat with Malignus about the evening, and wanted to show him the results of the spanking. The marks had already faded quite a bit, but I was feeling pretty content regardless. :-)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TEdyamCTKcZ_ztGHvT40PPLukBUjVZ8DkhJb9IbIV24bylz3lsQhbbQo3STmTz0AKbMi4rSI_OHMDre2MymQpm-gu8HC1YxFVEKCjr9zj5W8VYAF1LTNFeY3Qy_bkkeXpCvOvfhvF8A/s1600/Screenshot.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TEdyamCTKcZ_ztGHvT40PPLukBUjVZ8DkhJb9IbIV24bylz3lsQhbbQo3STmTz0AKbMi4rSI_OHMDre2MymQpm-gu8HC1YxFVEKCjr9zj5W8VYAF1LTNFeY3Qy_bkkeXpCvOvfhvF8A/s320/Screenshot.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500575059121491554" border="0" /></a>I was very excited about being spanked in public, even though it was short and sweet. The idea of it makes my stomach flutter, and it happens a lot in my fantasies. However, I am very hesitant about it outside of my fantasies. I am so afraid of getting caught, or someone noticing and judging the situation too quickly. It could end badly. I guess it goes along with my fantasy of a spanko neighborhood. I love the idea of doing something bad in public, only to be dragged over to a bench and pulled OTK for a brisk spanking. If only the rest of society would understand...<br /><br />Have any of you experienced public spankings? Did you get caught?

In other words, if a spankee receives a spanking from her Top, should she then return the favor somehow, to show her appreciation?<br /><br />I can see both sides. Spanking does tend to be a little one sided. The Spanker is the one taking control, doing the spanking, giving the lecture, being caring and supportive with the aftercare. It's a lot of work! Meanwhile, the spankee does what is asked of her (in some cases), maybe struggles, gives in, feels the release, gives over her trust to the one spanking her. It may seem like she's getting the better deal. But then again, those who enjoy giving spankings crave giving that support and receiving that trust just as much as we spankees enjoy it the other way, don't they?<br /><br />I do like to show my appreciation to those who have given me so much, spanked me in just the way I needed it, and were there for me afterwards. I really don't mind showing this verbally, or giving them a back rub or back scratch (Spankers I have encountered really freakin' love their back scratches. Anyone else notice that?). I do this of my own accord, and because I feel close to them and genuinely appreciate what they've done for me. That being said, I do not like the feeling of obligation that may come with that. It somewhat cheapens the experience for me if I am expected to give something in return for receiving a spanking. I think that both parties are able to get something out of TTWD, and maybe we can just leave it at that. :-)<br /><br />What do you think? When is it necessary to show your appreciation for your Spanker, or for your spankee? Do both people in the dynamic benefit equally, albeit in different ways?<br /><br />And speaking of appreciation, I really do value those of you who choose to keep coming back to read my blog, and comment. You guys are my motivation to keep posting. :-)sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104740800179308164.post-80919683536922840892010-07-23T16:12:00.000-07:002011-02-07T22:59:01.595-08:00Spanking Shoots and Wisdom Teeth. . . What?Yes, they're totally unrelated, except when describing my last week! I had the pleasure of shooting with AEG studios for my second spanking shoot this last Wednesday, and it was a blast. There was a last minute cancellation of the Spanker I was going to film with, and so the amazing <a href="http://fetlife.com/users/275959">Danny Chrighton</a> got to fill in. We had a great time doing some schoolgirl scenes followed by an intense real discipline scene in which our chemistry really shows. I'm excited for that one to come out. :-)<br /><br />Until then, though, another clip of mine was released today on <a href="http://realspankings.com/newopening.php">RealSpankings</a>. It is from my very first shoot, and is a hard belting given to me by Mr. Masterson. This is a great clip because angles of both my face and bottom are shown as I receive the strokes. Go check it out!<br />As fun as the shoot was, I had to go get my wisdom teeth extracted the following day. I have been loopy on pain killers since then. I guess it's not ALWAYS fun to have your cheeks sore and swollen. Ah well. I should be feeling better soon. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581269160045374780noreply@blogger.com5
