The Spanking Vampire

This is quite a long cartoon about the charming (?) Count Spankula, a vampire whose job it is to dish out punishment spankings.

(Downloading the whole 10-minute thing may kill your Internet dead, but the first couple of minutes will give you a fair idea of the whole…)

Experiencing Love and Sex

Going through my stack of “Vanity Fairs” (I’m a few months behind, due to being unable to skip when I read), I found a snippet of an interview with one Alexa Davalos, who briefly talks about a movie with “entailed her being naked a lot”.

This promise of nudity – selected in bold, red lettering – made me pay particular attention.

The film is called “The Feast of Love”, and it’s supposed to be “about the multiple ways that people experience love and sex”.

I’m highly dubious that our way of experiencing love and sex has made it to the Holywood studios and from thence to celluloid. Seriously, if only they knew how little sex is sometimes involved in having sex.

Still, I’m determined to look up the movie, and check out just how much love and sex did manage to make it in.

P.S. I found the official website, and the trailer there. It involves Morgan Freeman drawling “Try focusing on simple pleasures.” Why, yes, Mr Freeman, I believe I could stand focusing on the most basic pleasures you would care to show me. Please. :)

The Cost of Porn-Making

I often have fantasies about films I’d like to act in if a spanking producer would make them. Just as often, people ask me why I don’t pull together a production company of my own, and shoot them myself.

Well. Quite apart from the fact that I have the business sense of a dragon-fly, and similar organisation skills, the main factor is that shooting your own porn is too bloody expensive.

Here’s a very pertinent quote from Trixie, a porn producer and model I admire, on the costs of her recent shoot:

Created:
906 photos in five different galleries, 45 minutes in 3 JO (jack-off) videos

Costs:
$186 – room
$110 – four pairs of inexpensive shoes
$100 – legwear and hosiery accessories
$170 – other bargain-hunted clothes, panties, and bras
Total: $566

Average approximate cost per photo: $1.60

Note: these are all approximations. I didn’t account for the cost of our cosmetics, lights, camera, camcorder, memory cards, tapes, luggage, or time. The total number of pictures is inaccurate since we won’t actually use all of those photos; some of them will be junked. Considering these factors, the average cost per photo is actually grossly underestimated. On the other hand, many elements of our “costumes” will be used over and over again, or have already been used in other shoots, so figuring in their total cost for this shoot is an overestimation. I also didn’t average in the video production, although the videos probably have greater potential for sales.

Grim School Corridors

Simon Jenkins sent me a link to this video, “Hook Me Up” by The Veronicas. It features one of my favourite fantasies: a mixed-sex school, with both girls and boys suitably oppressed by evil-looking teachers.

Actually, I think this must be a reformatory, rather than a normal school. What do you reckon?

I Know You’re There: Second International Delurk Day

You folks are very nice to me: you come to my site and talk to me. However, I know for a fact that there are a lot more people reading than there are those who every post a comment.

Knowing how daunting it can be to leave a comment on a blog for the first time, Bonnie of ‘My Bottom Smarts’ has initiated a Love Our Lurkers day: the day when shy folks people get a chance to come out and say hi.

And yes, it’s today.

Come on out, I know you’re there. Who are you? :)
