Recent Video Shoot

Another busy week for us, as Jim and I start thinking about our upcoming relocation to another state so Jim can take a new job. Sometimes it feels like we get so busy that we hardly have time to speak to each other, much less think about our relationship. But we had a great break last weekend as we traveled to our video partners' home and studio in New England and did a "spanklet" shoot.

For those who do not know, spanklets are the mini movies that we sell for immediate download on our Spanking Epics site, as opposed to the full length movies which are sold on DVD and VHS. Spanklet weekends are great fun because basically we get together a small group of like-minded folks and just let them loose to create their own stories and scenarios.

Some of what we shot last weekend will represent a new direction for our site, as we did do some F/M material, and we realize that our typical "Bethany's" reader will not enjoy this material. But we get LOTS of requests for it, so we wanted to give it a try. But the main thing I am excited about regarding last weekend is the fact that we got to work - extensively - with a real DD couple.

Renee, who is appearing in our upcoming movie "The Ghost and Maggie Moore," has now agreed to appear with her "Jim," in a full series of stories, featuring "Jim and Kelley" who are basically "The Honeymooners" with spanking. Kelley doesn't go "to the moon," she goes over her husband's knee with great regularity. In this first time shooting them, we shot three DD stories. Kelly doesn't listen to her husband - and she's all too ready to tell little fibs that inevitably lead to disasters for both their house and her bottom. In the first series we shot, Kelley has a run in with a swimming pool, a toaster, and a gas grill. These will be released over the next few months.

We also did something different with Renee and Jim - just as a couple - and that is a small movie we are calling "Ginger Surprise." For those who have wondered about using ginger as an enhancement to both spanking play and DD, this movie will be an eye-opener. Traditionally called "figging," it was historically a means of enhancing punishment because the insertion of a ginger "plug" into the "victim's" bottom prevents them from clenching during the spanking.

Our little film is not a punishment story, just a very low-key representation of a DD couple as they try something new - ginger - in a sexual as opposed to punishment context. This "spanklet" should be released in a couple of weeks and will be frankly sexually explicit, so it may not appeal to all of our customers. But for those who have had curiosity about this, we do think this will be a very educational little film.

Of course, watching another couple "play" like this, raised some questions for me personally. My Jim and I have never tried anything like ginger play - frankly, it makes me nervous. But I noticed that *he* went to the grocery store a couple of days ago and voila - there's a piece of ginger root in my produce drawer. Who bought that I wonder? I'll keep you posted.
