We recently received the following email from Mark:
I’ve been a very big fan for many years now, and love seeing unused photographs and catching up with the models that have appeared in Janus. The first magazines I bought were Janus 49 and 50, which featured a very good looking asian lady called Lali. I would be very interested to know if you have any unused photo’s from these shoots and any more information with regards this fine looking lady.
A job then for our resident archivist Jon Rayworth, who takes up the story:
One of the most disappointing aspects of any archive work are the gaps you discover in the content. It’s fair to say that the Janus prints and negatives were not in any sort of order when I first laid eyes on them. As a long time collector of the magazine the excitement I felt on discovering particular shoots had survived was matched with the disappointing realisation that others had not been so lucky.
Sadly only three colour plates of Lali from Janus 50 have survived. A real shame as this two part story was a sequel of sorts to the ‘The Witnesses’ in Janus 47 and features Ann and Stephen Morley, who were members of the newly formed ‘Janus family’.
It’s important to remember that the creative and hard working people who produced these magazines were quite rightly always focussed on the next issue, not on curating their past glories. In some ways it’s remarkable that so much original content has survived from a spanking magazine that was published when censorship of this type of material was at it’s height.
Our thanks to Mark and Jon. The three surviving photos appear below, for the first time in high quality. To see more of Lali you can download copies of Janus 49 and Janus 50 by clicking on the highlighted links.
Three new spanking magazines have been added to the Janus Online Shop today.
Blushes 92, Uniform Girls Vol.2 No.6 and London Life Vol.1 No.6 are all available to download by clicking on the highlighted links.
London Life Vol.1 No.6 completes this excellent set of magazines. All seven magazines are available to download here.
We remain very grateful to our informal team of collectors who continue to make their copies of some of these hard to find magazines available to us for scanning.
Our thanks to Rob for suggesting actress Rachel McAdams as another deserving reciepient of this award.
He explains:
Rachel’s fantastic bottom was something of a well kept secret for many years, until she appeared in the film ‘Morning Glory’. It then came to light that the relevant scene (shown below) may in fact not feature Miss McAdams at all and the bottom in question might belong to a sadly anonymous body double.
However, there are certainly no identity issues about the second clip. Rachel shows off her behind to good effect in the film ‘The Vow’ (see below). Just imagine taking those knickers down slowly for a spanking or lining a cane up across that incredible rear!
If the first clip does indeed feature a body double it’s hard to understand why! Rachel has an amazing bottom and I just wanted to bring it to the attention of anyone who hadn’t yet discovered it.
We certainly agree with Rob that Rachel is a worthy nominee for our ‘academy’.
Four new spanking magazines have been added to the Janus Online Shop today.
Janus Vol.2 No.8, Uniform Girls 48, Blushes Vol.2 No.19 and Lady Anne’s Lessons – A Phoenix Special are all available to download by clicking on the highlighted links.
Februs 16 introduces us to the lovely Jemma who receives a good spanking in the photo story ‘In the Patriarchs’ Days’. (This photo story was one of four Februs shoots to be reprinted with some unseen images in Janus 156.)
On examining the negatives it was apparent there were an unusually large number of excellent impact shots – the trademark of Janus and Februs photographer Vic Barnes. We decided to focus specifically on these shots for this update and we hope you enjoy seeing the evidence of Jemma’s sound punishment.
To see more you can download copies of Februs 16 and Janus 156 by clicking on the highlighted links.
