A Rant About Models & Spanking

This is a sort of behind the scenes post you might not always hear about. It’s probably the worst side of running various websites – the hiring process and casting for talent in whatever given niche you are looking to produce content for is often straight forward, and in my case 95% of the time it is – once you have a proven track record or established a place or pool where you can contact prospective models from etc… but when that goes wrong, oh boy, it can go wrong badly! For if they don’t turn up, or lie about their talents or change their minds about agreed parameters carefully discussed in advance, what should you do? This has always been the worst part for me and I am going to write about it from a producer’s view as it had happened to me a few times over the years and I am writing about it today as it is affecting someone I know – I am not going to name names (right now) unless they want to be silly and carry on with this precocious bullshit… I am quite happy to name you and shame your behavior, especially as it comes from Fetlife – a laid back place where bullshit should stay the fuck away! We all deal with crap elsewhere online or in our personal lives and further dramas via something as amazing as Fetlife just pisses me off big time. So where do we begin? I will let you know what it is like when a model doesn’t turn up, when she says she is and you are waiting for her to arrive on the day of your carefully planned shoot. Let’s start there and build up to that… then I will explain to you just what is happening to the producer in question – and the way he is being treated right now! I am sure she feels aggrieved, but, let me be clear, this is sadly just what happens from time to time, which is why you girls charge far more per hour (which I have no problem with, by the way) as the very nature of our business can change from time to time. However, it is about how we deal with what happens overall and accepting that sometimes, just sometimes, circumstances change beyond our control on either side and we deal with the fallout after but we don’t threaten people with lawyers or demand money for cancellations well in advance when things can be rescheduled. (anyway, digressing already… let’s start with my prep, shall we?)

Shoot Check List:
I have to tell you, this bit is what I dislike the most… contacting for new models and arranging shoots or new locations. Personally, it’s not my thing & I really loathe this part of the work I do. Some may love it… but it is very time consuming, I find. So… do I find a new location? Is it kink friendly? I have to investigate it and then I ALWAYS CONSIDER the models and their locations they have to get to. If it is too far for them, in England, if I shoot there, then I would consider putting them up in a hotel the night before. I won’t put them in a shitty place either, or fly them in (as I have done once) on a poor airline… nope, I want the model to go back knowing I had prepared this part of her trip with her in mind. I would hope that the young lady would be rested and ready to go. I like to think once I put my mind to it, that I have never chosen a bad location or had girls complain about my particular shoot that I did in the way that they were treated etc (well, maybe Alex Reynolds will jokingly complain about how cold a studio was that we filmed in but we were all freezing that day in a really cold spell which was around Springtime 2 years ago, lol!!!)

I also remember bringing over Leandra from Holland a little later that year and I chose a good airline which she loved and a nice hotel within easy distance of the shoot location that I had picked her up and took her back to after… and even paid her in Euros at the interbank rate rather than have her get fleeced at a retail bank or “Bureau de Change” (I used to work in that line of business in the past and knew it well as I advised her so I saved her up to a further 10% of her fee!) Generally, I like to think of myself as a pretty decent enough guy to work for. The other thing producers usually have a lot to do is the pre communications emails and such, discussing wardrobe requirements and the type of films we do or might cover: I make sure the girls check out the website or give them access to clips so they are fully aware of what we do if they are not familiar with the site… nowadays that is never usually a problem and less so when I co work with Sarah. So if a producer asks for fully nude or whatever the requirements are, and ask them about their hard limits and what they are prepared to do or not do… this gets worked out in advance so it is clear, it’s pretty standard stuff. So I will know that one girl can be caned or another will do masturbation or be gagged or whatever it is I or a producer would require etc etc – it’s how it works. Of course rates also are discussed early on, I get that out of the way and move on once we establish what will be done. On the model prep side that is pretty much it.
Depending on who it is, I would also usually want to talk to them on the phone as well, that way we would discuss any other issues that might arise. After that… as producers, we then have to ensure we have our paperwork ready, equipment (cams batteries, lights and implements) our own wardrobe, any other issues like a car able to travel to a destination (I am rather selfless in that I will travel much further afield to accommodate the girls… they may not know that, but it is what I do if I am in the UK since I tend to be at the ass end of the country anyway where no one will come to! Then it checking with studios/hotels etc to confirm and reconfirm. Once this is all done I feel then I could relax. It’s not such a chore but there is a lot of time consuming work as you can see.

As niche producers, it has to be said, we don’t make an awful lot, we are not all super wealthy, we do this for the love of it… I might complain about this process, some love it… but that is because I know most of us have jobs or part time work to supplement incomes and we juggle all this in our spare time, some of us don’t and rely solely on what we do… that in itself should speak volumes about what we do make. Of course I do okay as do most producers… we don’t drive Porsche 911s or are overly flash like the big Porn Barons is what I am trying to say (just wanted to clear that up) … but I do put an awful lot back into the sites and travel a lot to America nowadays which I enjoy, of course. Anyway, back to when something goes wrong from the prep… I don’t like it one little bit (since when it does go wrong I always think of the time I spent preparing and it makes me sad) because this is my weakest part of my build up and I would rather be doing something else or feel it was my fault… that’s just me. However, I love making good films that I like or customs for others and paying girls for a fantastic shoot, and usually that is the case – I have had times where I felt in the past that I was “jipped” (cheated would be a close approximation) when the girl had claimed she could do something when in fact she was totally unsuitable for our day and that made me uncomfortable. Depending on what has already been invested, nowadays, I would probably stop the shoot as I have lots of content, but a few years ago I would compromise and we would get through but at what cost? I would be far from happy with what I had done. To be honest, that hasn’t happened too much recently but just highlighting what can sometimes happen… and it usually compromises the intensity of a spanking film which might change which is totally understandable. One day we feel fine the next our tolerances for a particular pain threshold will fluctuate. I understand that but don’t let that understanding mean that I can be duped into spanking lightly when I had requsted we were employing someone for a hard shoot etc… especially if the rate was higher! It’s little things like that, but I am showing you WORST case scenarios! This is RARE! Very rare!

I like to think I can usually sense if something like this is happening and have range and know when someone has reached their limits. I’m not a bastard, I won’t push them fully and make them call “Red” or “Cut” or whatever safeword was negotiated… I’d stop and we’d discuss how they were feeling. Guess who I misread 2 years ago… Alex again (LOL!)

I can use Alex in reference as I know her and consider her a good friend in the scene and she is the partner to a very decent guy and friend of mine, so I want to share this anecdote with you. On this particular day, it was the 2nd of a 2 day shoot between myself and Northern Spanking – the studio had heat but the gas burners needed to be switched off during filming and within 10 minutes the set had got cold quickly. Now compound this with being spanked hard by both Paul and I… (I also did some POV films which were lighter too) – Alex was the only spankee on set and she had just arrived prior to this from filming a hard 2 day shoot in Holland. AND… to further emphasize how I underestimated her tolerance at that time… she had flown in from America literally just before that so was just about recovering from jet lag too! I am useless when I fly east… with hindsight, I should have known. She flew into the UK and then out almost straight away to Europe and back. You see… originally, Paul and I had booked her at the start of her UK tour, but neither of us knew that she had managed to squeeze in 2 days into another country. I don’t blame Alex… I might be a bit pissy with the producer that snuck her in just before us, we are all spanking companies, we know girls take time to recover, yes… even legendary Alex (Spankee of 2014 no less, I should add!) – and we had deliberately chosen the date carefully to allow her to get over the dreaded jetlag and start her tour of the UK as she had work with other producers too at a later date. Still, shit happens – I made her cry and felt shit at the time as we had discussed a judicial caning scene and I wanted to save it for the end of the shoot. I had a wardrobe and the studio had a specific set (it was my sole reason for choosing it to be honest, and having a cool school room set) – I of course then realized and dropped the plot immediately and was prepared to finish there and then but Paul did a rather cool and loving film with her and of course this worked out more than fine… in fact I could see something develop between them in this film almost like when I filmed with Sarah at the Shadowlane Party later that year… bizarre!

OK, that is my experience – now imagine when a girl just doesn’t bother to turn up or gives one excuse hours before she is due to appear after I have gone through all the above checks to ensure she is Ok etc… I still remember getting an email, not a call, not even a text, it came through on my phone – the cowardly one where there’s a distant relative death in the family or in this case a pet had died, just BEFORE the shoot was due to start (right!!!) For fucks sake – grant me the decency to say you don’t want to do it than this half arsed excuse! I don’t want to sound heartless, but when I used to work for XER all those years ago, the same tired excuses would appear for no shows and only once did something close to that happen when a girl received a text towards the end of her shoot that her father had died. She was in tears and sobbing, naturally… I was tasked with taking her back to the train station and ensuring she was OK… I still remember her guilt of being there, 3 hours from home and not with her dad, it was truly heartbreaking. She wasn’t a flake, and had been at several filmshoots so knew what she was doing… so as a producer, those models that just bum us out cause us all manner of grief. Look at the preparation, the logistics, the planning, hiring other people to film as cam guys etc… all this down the toilet cos they could not be bothered to turn up. I bite my lip, I vow that I will never give them a second chance and move on. Girls who do that to me – after all the detail of preparing that I go through… it’s their decision, I won’t hire them unless they call me and explain as things, of course, can go wrong and to be honest, we all know when people are lying. But usually girls who are decent like that call in advance as they know something is up… to do so on the day of a shoot usually means something else, sadly. & I am sharing this with you as it is RARE… but I want to put things into perspective when I tell you about part 2 and a model going crazy at a producer for cancelling (and his reasons and her reaction to it).

****************************

Which finally brings me onto the 2nd part of my rant… when we as producers cancel on the model – and then they get all mad at us and start demanding cancellation fees or threatening to bring in “their lawyer” – again, I am not impressed and I am not naming names here – not unless they persist and I will name and shame them and and I don’t give a flying fuck what they think. As this behavior (as you’ll read below) is totally unacceptable.

I have written copious paragraphs about how things as a producer can go wrong when a model doesn’t turn up. Sure, I get angry and am mad as hell. Do I sue? Do I threaten? Do I try and claim back financially my hours of prep, my hotel fees or studio rental fees I have told you about? No, I tell other producers exactly what happened, the sort of producers I would think they would want to work for… and let them know. Essentially we will “blacklist” them. It’s up to the others to decide if they want to film with her, I give them my reasons and let them make up their minds. I have no issue if they want to hire the girl I might have mentioned that I would never approach again… that is not for me to decide.

So getting back to when a model gets upset if we cancel. I understand, we all have schedules, but there are some things that are beyond our control. Now if this happens to be 2 weeks in advance, I think, “it is a pain…” but you could possibly reschedule (depending on the location) or have 3 weeks to find other work in that area. I know this happens to Sarah all the time… usually with male sub sessions (which I guess is NOT that surprising) and in many cases a deposit can be required as male subbie types tend to flake out 80% of the time. Producers, and this producer in question, would not ever knowingly flake out unless it was for a damned good reason. & it was – the reason is not pertinent, just accept for now that it was – I know he will read this so I don’t want to start writing more on this than is necessary, this post is already turning to be a bit of a monster (sorry, you guys are not normally used to this from me, are you?)

Now add to that I have seen the communications on a Fetlife messaging system – and as far as I know, he hasn’t actually talked on the phone to her. A rate was set, he somehow accepted a very high starting non nude rate (which I have to say I wouldn’t, nor would Sarah who I talked to this about and I know other spanking producers wouldn’t either) then when he wanted perhaps thong and then panties down, as most of us would… the rates increased to something we wouldn’t accept. OK, perhaps that was his fault, it was only a couple of hours, not a full day shoot… hell, we have all negotiated a bad deal once (I say once as I just don’t do that shit anymore) and he knows I will be having words with him on this… but hey, that was the rate, so be it. Cool. However, as I said, something happened, he wrote to her to cancel the shoot for then… it just couldn’t go ahead. So cue the threats that he had to pay a cancellation fee, that if he didn’t pay up it would increase to her full cancellation fee of $150 (why was she doing him a “favor” in the 1st place?) and then, of course, I had forgotten to tell you they had somehow agreed that she shouldn’t get marked? WHAT??? He owns a spanking store that essentially has girls spanked and getting red bottoms. I’m not saying he has to be mean and welt them… but they are going to get a red bottom, it’s a spanking and his site generally has punishment spankings on them. How the fuck can she not get marked? Maybe I have misunderstood, probably no lasting marks then, like… gone in 24 hours or the next morning… usually a hand spanking and leather strap etc is good to heal quickly, but as we know, each girl is different in how they react so it is hard to call… I say this to every girl who does spanking, each day is different, each spanker different… do NOT go to a glamour shoot a day or 2 after a spanking shoot (unless you really do have buns of steel and there are a few girls I know can easily do this) but for the rest of you girls… do NOT impose this idiotic rule on spanking sites. We just won’t hire you. We will hire a girl that WANTS to be spanked, it is our core niche, it is what we do. If you don’t want to be marked, then stay the fuck away from a spanking or bondage site. Period! Just do your fetish photography or other fetishes that don’t require marking like cosplay or POV, humiliation etc… it’s a niche we are in so respect that, please, ladies.
I WILL REPEAT: Don’t show the sites who you are trying to gain employment off a massive disrespect by pulling this stunt! So of course I will let all spanking sites that want to know (based in the US) who she is in private (you guys know my address or Fetlife msg me) – I will guarantee you won’t have heard of her as she isn’t in our niche – well, I haven’t seen her spanked on our sites!

So currently I am hearing she still wants to extract the cancellation fee and is getting mightily upset that he won’t pay it. Well, with 20 or so days to go, I’d not pay either. Do I start chasing the models who flake out and let me down BADLY? No. I have explained what a fucking pain in the ass it is and how fucked off I am when this happens but I won’t hound the girl or go after her for money and time I think is owed to me and expenses I had already paid out! I had it recently and shared the cost of the location and got little content but that is the way it sometimes goes. You, young lady, if you are reading this, need to just accept that circumstances beyond a producer’s control happens. if a model called 2 weeks from a shoot, I would be able to reschedule another girl, I think. This shit just sometimes happens in our line of biz… it’s far from ideal, of course, but there you go. As I said… He will have no doubt spent time planning his shoot before already, we all do in advance as I had METICULOUSLY explained earlier. So we producers tend NOT to flake out as a rule. Those that do soon get a bad rep!!! Now I did once earlier this year and was so apologetic to the girl I consider a friend that she was cool and we re-arranged and shot a few days later (my car was out of commission at the time and getting repaired). See? Shit happens in our biz. Stop bitching and deal with it in a far more civil manner than threatening people on Fetlife and hounding them with messages that I felt I had to say something – that ain’t gonna go down well.

Rant over. More to come, if this persists on their part.

My apologies, I now will get back to writing an update post then finally think about updating you all with my latest US exploits which should be FAR MORE light hearted! Thank you & God bless!

It could be worse… imagine being stuck on this commute to work!!!! LOL!

The New UK Regulations

6 Replies

I wasn’t going to mention this at all, but seeing some of my fellow Brits so upset and a few of my members wondering what is happening, I thought I’d answer a few of their questions and make a brief comment on this overall. I am now only going through some mails as I have been rather busy these past few days and have told each member that has written to me that as far as I am concerned it is business as usual and I won’t be intimidated or bullied by crass ignorant law makers.
I will post a brief message inside the members area later today – as far as I am concerned, the new laws will not affect the website – as I am here in the USA right now drawing up papers with an attorney to transfer all operations to Sarah Gregory’s US based company with immediate effect (on my return to the UK I will be informing my accountants of the decision and looking at the best and easiest way to wind up my UK operations. Basically, Sarah Gregory’s company will operate Triple A within her group of sites. What does that mean? I will NOT be answerable to the ridiculous and pathetic regulations approved of on December 1st in the UK. The only thing I have bowed down to is removing the ability of UK debit cards to process transactions via CCBill (for the moment) – which is rather bloody annoying as I have had several rejected sign ups since I voluntarily decided on doing this. I apologize to my British readership and prospective members – as it would appear that all 16 and 17 year olds feel the need to pay for their porn with debit cards according to ATVOD and the learned Department of “Culture, Media and Sport” (I won’t deem them with a link right now) . I polled my nephews on this and they laughed… as I suspected, when they were of this age not too long ago, they used all manner of tube and piracy sites to get their porn fixes or music/Hollywood films for free.

To say how ashamed I am to be British in the light of this repressive and damaging regulations (What will be next in line for censorship? Who will test case this? How will this portray women and damaging mainstream mysoginistic porn) I won’t waste any more of my time on this – I have a meeting with the attorney tomorrow and of course this will affect me personally, it is not a decision I took lightly.

So to repeat: What does this mean to my members right now? Nothing, AAA Spanking carries on as normal – all films made before Dec 1st have been fully edited (in the US I might add) and are already loaded onto my servers which have always been based in the USA as I never fully trusted the UK and how right I was! I will still continue to promote the site wherever I am… I spend time in the UK and USA (and other countries) but after this tax year will no longer contribute legally to the UK and will look to staying more permanently in the US long term. It may not be much – but I feel sad that this decision has been forced on me by sheer ignorance and it really hurts as a British citizen who wanted to remain legal and contribute to the country of my birth! Now any profit and taxes from that will go to another country and my accountant who I love will no longer get payment from me… bravo!

I will leave you several links for you to mull over and links to other producers and commentators who are as equally appalled and dismayed as I am. Please sign every petition you find, I know that 38degrees are rather good at shouting up and please do consider Backlash UK and help donate where possible as this will be my line of defense in the UK if they wish to pursue me, although they can do it via Sarah’s company who will no doubt politely tell them to FUCK OFF!

Oh, and as a protest, I am going to start writing in the style of American English, so to my North American readers, if I spell something “British” from now on and miss it, please do tell me and I will change the post accordingly.

In other news, I will be starting to put together the first set of nominations ready for your votes, I hope this makes things a little more upbeat as reading Twitter and mails from my fellow Brits in our line of biz this past week has been rather depressing 🙁

World Cup Spankings & Stuff

2 Replies

OK, so the first game is over, the opening of the Brazil 2014 World Cup ends with a much predicted win for Brazil 3-1 against Croatia… however, as opening games go, I have already seen poor refereeing decisions go against the Croats twice (one in a seemingly valid goal) and of course the infamous South American ethic of cheating their way if all else fails… even with Brazil, arguably the best football (soccer) team on the planet… their players will play dirty or feign injury… it’s a South American trait I’d expect from the Uruguayans (England play them soon) or the dreaded Argentinians… but not Brazil. Seems I was wrong. Anyway, it’s started now, I think it’s gonna be a good tournament whatever happens… and I have had a few beers to drink, I was going to delay this post until tomorrow but I did that yesterday and I really need to get this out or else that is ANOTHER day gone by – so here goes!

At AAAspanking.com – in case you haven’t noticed, there is a brand new film and new girl not seen spanked anywhere else on film until now… her name is Lily Swan, a very fit and trim young lady who, it turned out… could take rather a good hard whacking… as I was to discover to my benefit. That doesn’t mean to say she made her submission easy for me, oh no… she bucked and writhed, complained and was a real brat if she thought she could get away with it… but in the end, I won out and she took some pretty hard thrashings as you’ll discover looking at the state of her reddened bum!

Lily looked stunning in a cheerleader uniform, so this is the first film I decided to let my members see, her draped over my lap in a very sexy cheer costume in a traditional and revealing bare bottom OTK spanking followed by an equally revealing legs apart leather strapping – still in that sexy uniform, oh my… check out teh images taken from the film (they are reduced in size) but you get the idea… and don’t forget to check out the free spanking clip, I promise you it’s a cracker… short, but definitely NOT sweet 🙂

The Thieving Cheerleader

Please welcome our latest addition to our site, hot new girl, Lily Swan, dressed in her cute cheerleading costume. She was summoned to meet her English coach, Mr Osborne. Only that wasn’t her costume, she had forgotten hers for Cheer Practice… she had selfishly stolen one of the other girls outfits but this caused a lot of upset as the girl that she had taken the costume off was in a flood of tears, scared stiff that she would be punished! Lily had forgotten that Rebecca’s costume had her name sewn in to it so it was obvious that Lily had used Rebecca’s costume instead. In brief, Lily was not in the least bit remorseful until Mr Osborne gave her an ultimatum: Accept the punishment & return the uniform, teaching her the consequences of her actions… or get kicked out of the best cheerleading troupe in that area instantly! She reluctantly chose the 1st humiliating option, resulting in her tight fit toned buttocks spanked and strapped long & hard as she wriggled & bucked wildly from this painful discipline session. Lily then had to go to Rebecca as agreed, all humbled… & genuinely apologize for what she had done, showing Rebecca her bottom to prove that she had been thoroughly punished.

This film is also available in full 1920x1080HD in all formats as a one off download at the Clips Store

Well, I was about to blog about some other sites too but I am seriously not that well plus it’s late… I have really bad hayfever, I had a terrible attack earlier today when I decided to be healthy and take a long walk on a beautiful long coastal path near to where I live… but I took a wrong route back a steep cliff face and ended up in very tall grass and plants and I could see the pollen shaking off them and knew this would cause me problems later, it was that bad, I knew I’d suffer, and it has pretty much been terrible ever since that incident. Hopefully by sometime tomorrow I will be OK, I will have to stay indoors… I really hate this month, I never seem to escape this shitty condition every year… June in the UK is the worst time for most Hayfever sufferers especially those allergic to grass pollen like me… I just wish this month would fast forward…. needless to say, trying to get to sleep now will be hard… I have so much mucus running everywhere… it’s all going onto my chest and makes me cough… no amount of anti histamines are helping right now and I can’t overdose on them 🙁

God knows why I told you that, I’m feeling sorry for myself, I guess… back tomorrow at some point when I am hopefully feeling more like myself! Goodnight!

Still having a shit time :(

Sorry about being so downhearted and putting a bummer on things, I am really fed up at the moment, I am finding it hard to write anything… the reason? My personal life, I am deeply unhappy at the moment with my worklife balance and also “Er Indoors” who I am just completely fed up with, she is so deeply controlling that I am sick of it. She isn’t a lifestyler, and tolerates my kink and what I do but when she’s drunk let’s me know that that what I do is just “shitty”. I could leave her and go back to my beloved hometown, on the plus side I’d get to live in Britain’s “Ocean City”, as they market it… the downer is it is so isolated that travelling everywhere is a real pain in the ass! I’d also have to find a new job which is next to impossible, especially “down there” in my hometown thanks to the global economic turndown which is still causing us all a massive amount of grief! I had thought that maybe I could get a transfer within the company that I work for to my hometown, after all I pay a mortgage on a property down there that I don’t even live in, which kinda sucks and I get no return off it really as my mother (God bless her) lives there rent free as I help her out in her old age … I suppose I’d have to go through the jokes of “living with mother” if I were to go back (that’s made me smile… heh heh) – it’s a long shot and could take time and isn’t guaranteed… and that’s why I put up with her shit that I am going through at the moment.

Anyway, to add to my misery this week, after a fantastic start to April, this past week’s sales at my site have nose dived and I don’t know why as the Clips Store the past few weeks has done quite well with the site appearing in the Top 3 under the tag “Spanking” but the membership site sales have been really woeful this week which is set to put me back behind budget and add to my worries and woes which i could do without as I had invested a lot of time and effort the past few months and committed to several filmshoots that I’d normally defer (I have just arranged and paid for some stuff in advance for the June filmshoot that I promise you all will be AWESOME…) in fact they all are nowadays and I have made some really good stuff these past few months which you’ll all gradually see this year 🙂

YOU can help by supporting me the best way to keep the site going and that is by becoming a member
It is hard out there, I know a few other producers made the same plea recently, and with the fight against piracy and all the other bullshit that goes on… it is hard! I make the films, not for a decent return, I do make something but it’s hardly anything to retire on as I re invest virtually every penny back into the site to keep it going currently! So with less income this past week, if that trends continues, then I won’t be able to continue producing new content… please do check out my reasonable rates, especially the longer term deals, they really are amongst the best in the biz for the amount of content I have produced and stored on there in a short space of time now!

However, back to the present and my reality… I have to go away next week and am dreading it… not because of where I am going or who I am meeting (it’s her Grand kids and I love them to bits as they have both known me all their lives and they are such cool kids!) I feel a stomach churning wrentch, something I haven’t felt before as I would be upset to lose contact with her family… I just feel that SHE is starting to lose her mind, getting too controlling… she is also far older than me (I’m late 40’s by the way) and her mother has severe Alzheimers… and I see the early stages of more aggressive behaviour as I witnessed in her mother before it was too late to delay the onset (she’s now in a home, sadly)… or perhaps I just wind her up constantly as I am starting not to give a shit when she barks at me to do this or that…I’m hoping that I’m imagining that she has very early onset of this awful dementia… but I just don’t want to think I will have to deal with that, I’m too young for that crap and I’m a bastard for saying it, but I am past caring even though it’s an awful disease, one which wipes the person completely. Or perhaps she is just a fucking nag… I just switch off but occasionally get wound up with her fucking nagging. It affects me as I’m naturally dominant and hate being told what to do like this so we often argue and shout. I’m about to go have something to drink… I was going to post something, but I just thought you guys deserve to know my mindset at the moment, and it’s not good, is it?

Thankfully, I have a week away from her moaning and berating of me as she’s staying in France one more week as I’m only out there for a few days (I couldn’t or wouldn’t get time off work as I really feel we both need a break so this week will be a godsend! Hopefully she will come back a better person too… You’ll see me post far more that week as I know I’ll be far happier… reading this I know I should leave her, there’s no one else (have you seen how ugly I am? lol!) but staying and putting up with her crap is the easy option (for now) however,I am aware that it is far from healthy.

Still, the week she is away, I get to see my nephew return from his latest naval tour of duty, I get to see the new Star Trek film on May 9th, “YES!” lol. & I get to plan my next filmshoot (no names just yet in case I put the mockers on that FFS!) So forgive me if I air my grievances or problems and hand out my dirty personal depressing linen from time to time as it helps me, I even smiled as I wrote “YES!” about the Star Trek film as I am one of the biggest Trekkies out there… and I don’t care who knows! Yup, I’m currently a depressed, put upon dominant geek… heh heh!

Watch this space!

Tempting Tuesday’s Updates

Man flu? Time for a rant!!!

4 Replies

Man Flu – it’s the deadliest and most debilitating illness known to “man” kind – we are rubbish at fighting this off, women just don’t understand, do they, gentlemen? I know my female readers may scoff at such a “trivial” condition (in their opinion) but we men know the doom and utter helplessness when that condition starts to take hold and I can feel the impending man flu symptons already… whining, aching, feeling the onset of a sore throat… loss of appetite for my favorite tipple… red wine (this last one has really pissed me off since I just purchased a delicious case of Rioja Gran Reserva!) and of course the scythe of Death himself, teasing me with that blade as I feel it swishing past me in the dark…)
“Yup! Man Flu is indeed almost upon me, I’m doomed!”
So please understand if I don’t get to post here too often (I’m going away next week on a short break… family stuff which will be nice so I hope I fight this deadly bug off in time as where I’m going is certainly not warm! However, I won’t have any internet connection, or very little… as I’m going somewhere quite isolated, I’ll let you know more on that later in the week…. man flu permitting!

So please put up with me moaning a little today as I attempt to waffle on regardless. I have been working on my own site so I will inform you that the full Wmv and MP4 versions of the awesome “Welcome back, Jasmine” film is now out for members… there is a snippet and check out the images on the tour pages HERE!

(yeah, I didn’t want to post any images as I have kind of covered that already, but there are additional screen grabs as well with this update for members, it’s a cracker and I’m really quite proud of what our little site is producing recently, I hope you all like it too and for those that maybe interested in joining, as our archives are starting to really increase now, I will have to up the pricing at some point, I’ve been hanging off for an age but there comes a point when we have no choice. So if anyone wants to be locked in at under $20 a month or support us with a really cool priced longer term membership that works out at starting from a paltry $8.50 a month (that is dirt cheap considering there’s a film guaranteed EVERY week plus other updates and the growing archives, all in HD) then get these membership options while you can – You can see the full options here and I have covered pretty much every angle, I hope… but to be honest, we have to up our prices soon as our bandwidth and hosting costs have soared! (some sites I have seen can cost $10-15 or nearly double our basic monthly standard membership anyway!!!)

Oh… I had also thought about doing a short term Xmas deal, (yeah, I have some cool longer term ones at the mo anyway) but following the advice of some other producers and of course knowing from my time with a bunch of incompetent tax avoiding idiots that ruined what promised to be a half decent network a few years back (with their constant DFS style deals), then I soon realized that this would be pretty pointless. Now since I definitely do NOT work for them or am in anyway affiliated with them one little bit, I can say what I damn well want now even though I won’t name names or slag them off viciously, I thought about it, as the anger I feel is still raw, especially when I don’t feel that well. They’re out of it, I’ve signed nothing regarding non disclosure, I’m past caring, I have kept quiet just because half the time I couldn’t be arsed anymore and I doubt they even read this blog now (they used to watch it fearful I’d say something, how sad) but if they do and can’t stay away, then YOU know this has been a long time coming guys… as you really fucked me off BIG TIME! Anyway, fuck it… I hope I never deal with or see them again, such fucking wastes of time – I’m sure they’re really upset at that, lol! By all means purchase this deal which I have seen resurface (much to my mild disbelief) … I know a few of us producers would take the piss wondering how many sites would be included the last time it surfaced…

I remember it so well a few years back, a sensible and manageable 6 sites, then 8, 10, 11… the super 17 came in a year later… followed by the “epic” ground breaking 20 and finally last year – the 30 sites … OMG – I had a sweepstake on 30 so was really pleased, lol! But I know that the new owners haven’t produced anything themselves since they bought the sites, fuck knows why… I of course was kicked off some of the other blogs I wrote for hosted on that network, hell, even some of my old banners I made mysef are still on the sidebars and of course the blogs are never updated, they are just used to help rank the sites in search engines – and all my affiliate links were changed to theirs (yes, low as fuck – all my hard work, I know) & I can only assume they bought the whole thing rather cheaply considering they had amassed a huge archive of content but it was enough for the previous incumbents to start afresh away from the failed spanking empire they had ruined, sadly.

So have the sites changed? Well, the outside of the sites are rarely updated, if at all, many not since March this year (way to go) & I have checked the sites member areas with my remaining pass which is due to expire anytime now and in fact it’s usually rehash after rehash on the majority of them (still!) not all, of course. There is new material, but you’ll notice them on a few sites, it’s the same girls one after the other even in the same room and bed for goodness sake – as it appears the bought content was filmed in a day and edited and sent to them… the girls are great looking, (I’m definitely gonna film with them early next year for sure!) and some of the stuff is worth watching… but with little variety, it looks rushed and it’s hard to feel that you haven’t been a little cheated? … and you can tell who made and sold it, lol! (I won’t say who, it certainly wasn’t me… but “tut tut”) Still, fair play to the company that made it – I know to even make something like this, there is the cost of the girls, the studio, other expenses that add up… and of course the time and effort of those who own and edit the stuff – so I don’t mean to sound off at the producer in question, I fully understand as it’s a business deal… I have entertained the idea myself as long as our costs on top of the girls were suitably covered for our time etc…
Many sites they have in that network I used to really like which have just got worse now as I know all the old films back to front – what’s more… any new content so far, like I said… is bought (rather disappointingly) – perhaps I should sell them some of our stuff? (just kiddin’)

Anyway, back to the ridiculous DFS style promotions of those offers (to anyone thast is unfamiliar with DFS, they area sofa chain who always advertise deals at half price and I doubt NEVER sell a sofa at full list price as they have sale after sale all year) You get de sensitized to it and end up either waiting for the “next offer” or not signing up, which is what these idiots got themselves stuck into, & unable to break the cycle or ride out the quiet periods so would give in and us spanko vultures would lap it up, naturally… especially when the sites used to be rather good. Now I admit that I advertised this 30 site offer last year, (all pages and references are now removed from my blog, by the way) but that was because I didn’t know they were planning on selling the network and offered me a chance to make some money but I was happy to, if a little bemused by the ridiculous price tag at the time and they were happy to give me a percentage, it was purely economic on my part and it seemed a good deal, almost giving the stuff away, how could anyone lose? I was past caring to be honest, I even told them they were devaluing their brand completely (or more so) but of course I had no idea they were going to sell it so didn’t give a rats arse about what I said, I can now see that they just wanted to get the maximum income they could in – which of course is pretty shitty, and may even have been used as part of their business plan to sell the sites) Let’s not forget that these guys owe me, another producer and the taxman a stupendous amount of money, but of course that’s all history now (that’s another story for another day, if I can really be bothered) so there was no love lost, no buddiness, just a deal to earm my percentage and that was it – & I didn’t have to rely on them paying me pesonally because it was through a billing agent (I wouldn’t trust them to pay me a dime from their own pockets)… of course, they were still making their own stuff at the time (although more infrequently) but at least they did their own… and of course they sold the network, I had no knowledge of this and it did cause me a fucking big financial black hole at the time as I still depended on being one of the last affiliates to actually try and care in some small way about their sites, rather foolishly… and because they refused to give me this domain name and host it, more like (again, another story and perhaps why some other bloggers and certain spankologists won’t link to me, God knows) even though I had reduced my exposure to them bit by bit, it wasn’t enough, even though they did occasionally make something worth watching so I was happy to promote it. This year the new owners won’t allow anyone that privilege to promote their offer… so fuck that… really, they aren’t affiliate driven and anyone promoting the sites with their precious traffic would be insane right now!

So, fuck knows where this rant is leading, I had instended to do some site reviews of some latest content, lol! Right…if you have read all this, then fair play, I found this very therapeutic and will stop now, I could go on and on and on….

I guess you need some sort of reward, eh?

So here are some excellent galleries and old school content of a time that I really miss, and of course these girls looked so fresh, the movies are remasstered along with the many site revamps that make this other network of sites below show HOW you can do it!

There’s a ton more free previews at 1stChoiceSpanking HERE

This is just one of the sites that are operated by Jardale who specialize in remastering old content and lon play spanking films made in the 80s and 90s!

Oh, and if you actually want a decent multi site deal, do what Clare Fonda does, make it manageable, how many of us are so distrustful of 20 or 30/40 site deals? They’re crap in general, aren’t they? I’d rather stick with a manageable set of sites at a reasonable price knowing I’m gonna see stuff not repeated elsewhere – see how Clare does it at her CLARE FONDA PASS NETWORK

Well, that was some rant, I’ll try and post something a little saner next time, ’til then… adios.
