Highjacked: Devlin, Michael and Wortzel …

Oops, sorry, appears the wrong photo got downloaded here!  While I correct it, the lovely ladies of the Blog and I would like to congratulate Devlin (10 votes), Michael (9) & Wortzel (8) who came in first, second & third in our recent Grumpy Top Poll.    Big congratulations to the other participants, too!   Some of you guys received more votes than Sean Connery did!  Amazing.  But when it comes down to stern lectures, witty reprimands and loving swats, no one does it like you and we love you for it!

Oh, look, here we go  -  I’ve found a much better representation of our winners  …

Such an uncanny resemblance.  Darn I’m good.

Highjacked: Don’t Neglect Her Breasts

As a man who spanks women I can only speak for myself as I have never discussed this with other Tops, but when it comes to disciplining a naughty girl don’t neglect her breasts.

I’m not talking about spanking her breasts, binding or using toys on them like nipple clamps, rings (non piercing), enlargement suckers, cylinders or cups. I know some people enjoy these methods in either an erotic or disciplinary way, but that has never appealed to me. What I mean is using a woman’s breasts to further her embarrassment and submission during a punishment spanking or to bring her to new thrilling heights during a sensual spanking.

During a punishment spanking when a bratty imp is across my lap I can increase her feeling of shame if I sternly lecture that only good girls are allowed to have their boobs covered, and that naughty girls forfeit all rights to modesty and need to have their breasts bared and hang free. This usually elicits a whine or moan of protest of how unfair I am or that she hasn’t been that bad or that she is a good girl who is simply misunderstood. Typical naughty girl utterances when they find themselves in a bottom-up position ready for chastisement, and such pleas should always be ignored as cries of convenience and comes under the heading of too little too late.

Then as the little lady’s spanking commences and the heat is turned up her bottom will not be the only thing bouncing. I have found women find this very embarrassing, while their bottom is being scorched their bare boobs are doing their own dance. This never fails to bring a blush to upper cheeks in addition to her rosy nether ones.

I also enjoy using this little trick during a sensual spanking and further intensify her squirmy feelings by massaging her orbs and gently pinch stiffening nipples as I slowly spank her adorable tush. This usually doesn’t last too long as we quickly move on to other more pressing needs.

So, I present this notion to other Tops who may be looking to add a little something to their spanking experience. Some may be interested and some may not, but if you try it I am sure you will heighten the adventure for both you and your spankee.

Hijacked by Poppy – Just Around the Corner

I think there is so much snow and winter at the moment that it is getting a bit overwhelming.

We should think for a while of the summer that will come. Spring and summer are just around the corner.

I know that some people think that corners are for only one thing.

But those people are wrong.

Corners are for looking expectantly around. Good things will come. And they will be warm and lovely.

No! That is not warm and lovely- that is warm and horrid.

This is warm and lovely.*

*Help the man in your life to think summery thoughts by hiding all his trousers and putting shorts out for him to wear. Turn the heating up and make a summery cocktail for you both and put a little umbrella in his. That will help him think pleasant summer thoughts. If this fails, paint his toenails  a pretty pink to remind him of long, warm days. Please feel free to add your own thoughts as to how to help the man in your life look to the days ahead.

Highjacked: How About That Snow?!!

A shout out to our snow-covered readers in the mid-Atlantic states who are getting nailed by this weekend’s blizzard:  We hope you’re all safe and warm and taking advantage of your indoor time. I’ve always found that a modest-sized snowball stuffed down the back of his pants is a good way to start things off.   Bring it indoors – he won’t be expecting it.     … Be safe everyone.  Stay off the roads and share your body heat!

Hijacked by Poppy – A Smörgåsbord Of Help

(There are extra helpful hints if you check out the pictures, just roll your cursor over them.)

Here is a plea  and an offer to the Tops of the world.

You lucky, lucky Tops are surrounded by such lovely girls that it is no small wonder you feel a bit overwhelmed at times.

We understand that, because we are such clever and thoughtful girls and not only do we understand but we also wish to help you out.

Now, we know that when you feel a little confused you feel a bit limited with your options and it does seem that you feel a bit prone to one kind of response.

See below.

To help you we would like to offer some alternative suggestions.

You have heard the adage that you catch more flies with honey – why not try it with the girls in your lives?

Chocolate may be used in lots of ways. It can be used to distract or adorn, to soothe or delight. Use your imagination.

Wine. Helps.

I would like to say more than that, but I don’t think I have to. If your girl is getting a little difficult, try wine. (For her and maybe for you.)

Take her shopping, watch her smile, listen to her giggles of delight and swoons of joy. No spanking ever will be needed again.

Still a bit tense? Still not behaving as you would like her to? Kiss her. Kiss her a lot and then kiss her again. By the time you are through with her everything will be all better.

And if all else fails … lower your expectations. The girl below is a good girl. She just needs to be perceived a little differently.

Did I help?

The Spanking Feast of Lupercal

Okay, it's Elizabethan and not ancient Roman. Still captures the feeling.

We were talking about winter holidays and festivals, Groundhog Day for one, in the comments to the last post, so I thought I would enlarge on another holiday that’s very special to the folks around here.

This of course is the Roman Lupercalia, which Shakespeare calls the Feast of Lupercal in ‘Julius Caesar.’ The festival is, or was at any rate, held every February 15^th to honor both Faunus, god of fertility, and Luperca, the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

On this delightful day, the good women of Rome turned out naked to run through the streets, whilst having their bare bottoms spanked with thongs of sacrificial goat hide. The point of the exercise was to make those not pregnant more fertile, and to ease the delivery of those who were.

I think we really ought to revive this beautiful custom, though as I mentioned elsewhere, hold the festivities indoors, say in a gym or coliseum, because most of us don’t live in Rome where it generally is somewhat warm in February.

However, after having given you my version of ancient history I feel it necessary to pass on a few spoilers gleaned from various online sources.

It appears my take on the Lupercalia amounts to a lot of wishful thinking, plus a few odds and ends of rumor and myth I picked up here and there.

In the earliest recorded festivals, two goats and a dog were sacrificed in a cave at the base of the Palatine Hill where Romulus and Remus supposedly lived with their wolf-mother. The hides of the animals are cut into strips and given to two young boys, the Luperci, who run around the edge of the old Palatine city, blessing everyone they come to by striking them with the hide thongs. Again, the intent was to encourage fertility and increase, but in men as well as women.

As the ages passed the festival changed, and by the time of Julius Caesar, large numbers of grown men were running naked through the streets wielding these fertility-making whips. In the Shakespeare play, Caesar tells his wife Calpurnia to “stand in Antony’s way when he runs his course” so that he could smack her with his thong and help give Caesar an heir.

We still can assume if we want that the women offered their bottoms, clothed or otherwise, to the goat-skin hiding, but having a bunch of guys running around naked while the women stand and wait quite sours the whole enterprise for me, the true historical part anyhow.

But since I’m an old hand at rewriting history to suit my own purposes, I strongly suggest we forget these inconvenient facts and concentrate on the real, that is MY, version of events –

From the 5^th century BC until the dissolution of the Festival of Lupercal by some prissy Christian emperor in the 4^th century AD, all the women in Rome of childbearing age ran naked – though some were said to mosey – through the streets every 15^th of February. Men and boys lined up along the route to urge their womenfolk to greater fertility by swatting their bare bottoms with goat-hide thongs.

It is said that for nine hundred years, a statistically improbable number of Romans had birthdays in mid November.

That’s enough.

Hijacked – Poppy’s Guide To Mornings

“Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.”

Oscar Wilde.

He knew what he was talking about.

Mornings are not for the faint hearted, they are not for the meagre of spirit, and if you do not approach them with due regard and respect they will take you down and destroy you before you have so much as opened your curtains.

If you rush at a morning it will see your foolhardiness as a reckless disregard for the potency of the day and your uppance will soon be comed and it will be in no way pleasant.

So, steady as you go please. Drink the tea that is brought to you by a brave and loving man. Take care not to burn your tongue. At this point light conversation may be had but it will be from the radio. Any expectation of you forming words will be met with a withering glare or, in extreme circumstances, a single raised eyebrow.

There are those who like to exercise at this time of the day. We will allow that as some people exist more in their bodies than their minds (if you know what I mean) and we should let them do whatever it is that helps them to wake up.

For the more cerebral amongst us we will be gently brought back to the waking world with warm water caressing our naked bodies. A shower, or a bath if you have the time, and you may use this time to plan world domination or decide on black or brown/black mascara – whatever takes your fancy.

Breakfast is desperately important. Don’t rush it, and try to make sure it is healthy and filling. I have a penchant for porridge with bananas and maple syrup.   –

On a work day, your clothes and all silly work things should have been prepared the night before to save any looking in difficult places. This can lead to frustration and tense discussions. It also difficult to explain to a man that you are really an organised and efficient lady when you are bottom up looking for a whatayacallit.

On a non-work day you will have achieved so much and be so far ahead of the day that you may retreat back to bed with your beloved who should reward you with love.

When do you venture forth into the world I will choose to borrow a quotation from CJ, and I do not know where she got it from, but I do like it –

“Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning, the devil says, “OH CRAP, SHE’S UP!”

NB

Let us note with care that nowhere in correct morning preparation is there room or even call for a spanking. A morning spanking to “prepare you for your day” is contraindicated.

This is NOT part of what should happen in the morning.

The Poll Is Final!

Our totally unscientific poll to name 2009’s blite brat of the year is now closed. I know I said 8 pm Eastern Time, but I’m sure everyone who really wanted to vote already has, and Gwen wants to install the next poll anyhow.

Sixty votes were tallied over the past few weeks, which is a lot for one of our polls, and though there was no majority winner, Gwen got the plurality of votes, 22, and I hereby declare her Naughtiest Girl on the Blite for 2009, with all the honor and glory that goes with the title. But I, um, still haven’t ordered the trophy so I hope you will bear with me.

Many thanks to our lovely contestants, whether you asked to be in it or not. Actually none of you did but here you are anyhow. And this doesn’t mean that Gwen really is the naughtiest girl here in any absolute meaning of the term since, like I mentioned, this poll is totally unscientific, and as I have said many times before, ALL girls are naughty, the ones who hang around here especially.

Naughty is a state of mind and not necessarily a behavior, so I want to thank all the girls who allowed us to put your names in the poll. To someone, somewhere, and perhaps to more than one someone, each and every one of you is the naughtiest girl in the world, and you ought to be proud of that. Also to everyone who voted, and those of you who make the discussion around here lively, many thanks. Keep those cards and letters coming because you know we read every one of them.

One final big huge giant CONGRATULATIONS, Princess. Now pop that new poll up, will you? There’s a good girl. (?!)

That is all.

What Naughty Is

Snow White showing off her knickers - naughty but sweet.

Someone I love has been abused by Google, so I wanted to post this to help get the bad taste out of her mouth. The latest, at this moment, bit on Poppy’s Submissions is about what naughty isn’t, as in, it isn’t the yucky, nasty, cynical pictures she found when she Googled the word ‘naughty.’ She found some of the photos very upsetting, so I’m bringing the issue back into focus.

Naughty is impertinent, sometimes impudent, often risqué, but always buoyant and good-humored. Naughty doesn’t hurt – at worst it annoys, but even then it’s the annoyance of being kidded. Naughty can be troublesome, but as Sam Spade said, we don’t mind a reasonable amount of trouble.

Naughty but way cute.

Dr. Ken just did a post called ‘Naughty Is Nice’ on his Spanking Minnesota blog, and Poppy has her post for the flip side of the question ready to go for later this evening North American time, but I didn’t think it was too much having three posts of this kind up at once.

The immortal queen of nice and naughty, Bettie Page.

And finally, naughty, the real thing as practiced round here, is invigorating, energizing, and uplifting to all involved. As Dr. Ken remarked, it would be a pretty dull world without it. That doesn’t mean girls don’t get spanked because of it – but things would be far less invigorating, energizing, and uplifting to everyone in this neck of the woods without that too.

Enough said.

The Keys

If you have been very cunning and followed events very closely recently you will have noticed that I tried to persuade certain people who shall remain nameless (let us call them D & M) to let me have the keys to the blite.

It was one of those silly things where you go on and on about something not really thinking about it but just to see what happens. I think I meant for D & M to go away and do something else for a few days to see what I could get away with.

Anyway, I now have my very own ability to post, in my own name. I never meant for that to happen but that is what happened anyway.

Gwen, I am here with you ready to, er … not battle but maybe a little witty repartee.

So I have the keys, girls. We just have to wait for D & M to go out before … well, I had not planned what next.

Although as a fellow poster I think that means I have certain changes to my position.

Ahem.

No more corner time. Not ever.

Spankings shall be replaced by the opportunity to reform myself through self analysis. This self analysis shall be brought about through spa treatments and the occasional hair do.

Bad language shall henceforth be defined as dropping my “Hs” and not putting a comma before someone’s name. Swearing shall not be counted as bad language.

Any telling off shall be expressed through the medium of dance.

Maybe we could help by making some suggestions to the Tops. They love it when we help. I think they should see it like a spring clean.

I welcome any further suggestions from my sisters in bratdom.
