Watch me suffer some more

“Young Offender Part 2″ is online, and I can stop whining now, because the caning in this part looks like it hurt just as much as I remember it hurting.

Behind-the-scenes notes:

- I was supposed to throw a cup against the wall, to make it look like I’d just missed Nick’s head. Good job I’m not actually any good at throwing, because I’d forgotten I wasn’t actually supposed to aim for his head. Aim I did. And missed. Whew. The worried look you see on my face while the cup is in flight says “Oh, shit, I’m actually going to hit him!” All the same, the breaking of the cup against the wall scene only needed one take, which just goes to show how brilliant I am at everything but aiming stuff at people’s heads.

- This is on the whole an unusual video, because instead of going the trusted route of hand-spanking – implement – cane, the director Lucy decided to finish with the hand-spanking, underscoring the character’s transformation from an insufferable brat into a, well, vaguely contrite brat. I’d thought it was a splendid idea, until it came to being paddled with no warm-up. A nice hand-spanking does feel really nice over a freshly-caned backside, though.

- I spent as much time thinking “Help! My boobs are spilling out of my dress!” as I did “Bloody hell, this really hurts.” I love this dress, but in the future I will only wear it when I’m unlikely to end up upside down.

- One cane stroke went low (leaving that visible pink mark in the stills), but because of the position of my panties, it’s not really clear watching the video which one it was. It’s a shame, because I for one find a picture of a pink welt growing ripe on white skin rather appealing – and the skin where the cane was supposed to fall was anything but white by that time.

- Told to give me six strokes to wind down the caning, Nick got a little carried away, and had to be stopped after seven. Me, I was far too deep into the role to still be able to count to six. I’m always sorry when a caning sequence ends.

- Mr. Nick Nightingale is a prime example of why, when you’re heading for your first ever shoot, you should come up with a screen name. Before a bunch of models think one up for you. Good job we actually liked him, or he wouldn’t have got away with something quite as pretty.
