The readers’ letters page was always a popular section of any spanking magazine because you were guaranteed an entertaining read from a rich variety of contributors. Content ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous with genuine accounts scattered amongst all the make believe. One particular letter which stood out for this correspondent appeared in Roue 6 which was published in the early 1980’s. Entitled ‘Ephemera’ it seems to have the ring of truth about it but I’ll let you make your own mind up…

The photographs on this page arrived at our offices with this letter:

“I found these photos and several letters in two suitcases which I discovered in the attic of the house I now live in. I bought the house three years ago, which is when I found the photos. Perhaps you will be interested. The only things I know which might be relevant are these:

1 That the house was previously owned by an ex-army man, to judge by various documents found in the cases. I presume the photos were his but as he is now deceased I do not know for sure.

2 From two of the letters I gather that the gentleman at one time advertised for a housekeeper, and that the post was taken by a girl from Broadstairs  in Kent. This information I gleaned from the first dated letter which set out her qualifications for the job and said that in 1954 she was 21 years old. Out of curiosity I wrote to the address on the letters and found out that it was a guest house, and was so at the date mentioned. No-one remembered the girl. Perhaps she once lived there or stayed there, and took another job at the end of the holiday.

3 From one of my neighbours who has lived here for 30 years I understand that a girl did live in my house at the time in question. The name of the girl which is frequently mentioned on the back of these photos is ‘Susan’ – she also wrote the letters I mentioned. The dates of the photos run from 1955 to 1957 and there are several hundred more photos but I’m sure you will appreciate that I couldn’t send them all.

The photos were certainly taken in my house, as some structural details are familiar, in particular a fire place in the smallest bedroom, which I suppose may have been Susan’s room, and the desk in one of the photos is very similar to one which was serving as a bench in the shed when I moved in. It seems to me that the photos have a posed look about them but some of the cane marks on the girl’s bottom look too real to have been faked. Perhaps the photos were taken with a time-delay system which would explain the posed look.”

I guess we’ll never know the truth of this story but to see a lot more of Susan and read A.M.’s full account over six pages you can download a copy of Roue 6 here. Another letter from A.M and more photos of Susan appeared in Roue 8 which will be available to download soon – watch this space.

We were delighted to read on Jake and Nomi’s Spanking Delights blog about Jake’s experience as a Janus model! He was fortunate enough to spank and cane Helen Daniels in Janus 154 and his account of the day’s events are well worth reading here.

We’re pleased to feature a large selection of unpublished images from the Janus archive of Jake’s moment in the spotlight and we hope you enjoy them. If you’d like to see more of Helen you can download digital copies of Janus 152, 154 and 163 by clicking on the highlighted links. You’ll also find a few more photos of Helen here.

To make up for lost time we have added a bumper crop of digital editions to our online store today.

There are two terrific issues from Janus Volume 9 – numbers 1 and 7. Both issues feature excellent colour stills from the latest films to be released at the time. Volume 9 No 1 promotes a new two part movie ‘Caning’ with a great cover shot, while Volume 9 No7 features the Harrison Marks film ‘The Nurse’s Lesson’. Both films are sadly missing from the Janus archive so if anyone out there has a copy of either of them we’d love to hear from you.

Roue 38 is also available and some of the finest editions of Blushes have been added today. Issues 17, 18, 20, 26 and 29 are now available – the magazine really hit it’s stride during this period. Watch out for digital editions of Blushes Supplement and Uniform Girls which will be coming soon!

To download copies of any of these issues click on the links above or visit our online store.

Janus 30 featured the conclusion to ‘Exactly So…’ the first part of which appeared in Janus 29. Unusually for a Janus photo fantasy at this time there was no accompanying story. All we are told is that Bambi visits her Auntie Elizabeth’s punishment studio. ‘Auntie Elizabeth’ was in fact the real life wife of Arthur Jardine who appeared in Janus 23 and 39.

We hope you enjoy this selection of images of Bambi’s punishments from the Janus archive. If you would like to see more you can download copies of Janus 29 and 30 by clicking on the highlighted link above.

It may have taken awhile to arrive at these shores but the Weeds episode ‘Gentle Puppies’ got its first screening in the UK on Sky Atlantic last night – it’s repeated Saturday 25th February at 10.15pm. The very lovely Mary Louise Parker, who plays pot dealing, mother of two Nancy Botwin, bares her bottom for a well-deserved spanking. This great clip of her behaving like a spoilt brat is from a much longer scene leading up to the belting.

If you missed it last night and can’t wait for Saturday to see what happens next…

It’s not the first time Nancy has found herself in this position during the series – just in case you missed it or would just like to see it again, here’s a reminder of the spanking she received in series 4…
