I don’t know if anyone noticed, but I flipped my blog roll recently for a bottoms up effect. I know, going bottoms up isn’t always easy. This young lady in the photo doesn’t seem to be enjoying it at all.
But I kinda like it. Since I’m used to that position it in […]
To a Victorian workhouse as I slept last night. A benefactor was visiting – a youngish gentleman, who’d recently inherited his father’s title and estate and was therefore on the lookout for new staff.
Six of the best girls were lined up for him to inspect; they’d been scrubbed and dressed in clean clothes before his […]

The girl, aged seventeen, had been missing all day. Panic had ensued; her absence had been reported, searches undertaken. They’d found her, eventually – in the cell of a police station, amidst the […]

I’m all for the freedom of the press. But a conversation with a friend about the mafia recently provoked the most bizarre dream – and one that, on waking and remembering, is probably on the boundaries of “hot or not”.
See, a brave young woman journalist had just written a story exposing mafia corruption. It had […]

In honor of Thanksgiving week, this question seems timely.What makes you feel thankful this year?As always, everyone is welcome to participate. All you need to do is leave a comment below. Once everyone has spoken, I will post an edited summary.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s latest novel, “Memories of My Melancholy Whores”, has produced a fair amount of controversy. (Opening line: “The year I turned ninety, I wanted to give myself the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin.”)
They’re filming it in Hollywood at the moment, and I’m wondering whether they’ll transfer the […]

You asked for it!Question: I was admiring the [implement] photo on this week’s blog. Is it a small wood paddle, a large wooden spoon or the back of brush? Response: That picture is the back of my husband’s favorite spanking brush. It’s the size one w…
Project Gutenberg, the wonderful online store of out-of-copyright books, includes a rather odd autobiographical tale, “Seven wives and seven prisons”, published by a doctor called L.A. Abbott in New York in 1870.
Wife number three on the author’s list was one Sarah Scheimer and it’s his description of her seduction that drew the book to my […]

A document I was reviewing for work discussed how to make cleaning staff more efficient. The idea? Rather than give them a basket of sprays and cloths, the essential items could be worn around their waist in a specially-designed belt.
