Ha! I’m so sorry everyone; I couldn’t remember my password and so couldn’t log in and post! Suddenly remembered it, hooray! I am TERRIBLE at organising this kind of thing. If I manage to employ a bodyguard he’ll have to be in charge of passwords too….

And I’m home, back in England, and very much in love with the way it looks, with lovely golden leaves falling, and enough chill in the air for me to wear all my new knitted clothes. I bought them in Los Angeles last month, and they barely fitted into my suitcase on the return flight…

I do apologise for not posting before; from now on things should be better because I’ve got a hideous, scary Blackberry thing which I think I can post from while I’m travelling. Thank you very much indeed to everyone who likes my work and has been visiting my blog even though I’m ABSENT! Thank you, it makes me feel happy and guilty all at once.

I’ve felt so guilty that I haven’t even been able to look at all the other spanking blogs, because it just REMINDS me that I’m hopeless at posting… So I think I’ve really been punished enough, don’t you?

I’ve been having a marvellous and interesting time at work. I try to go to LA once a year, because it’s got such a high concentration of bondage and spanking producers, as well as the sort of climate that makes doing outdoor location shoots (with non-fetish photographers cos I’m less likely to be arrested that way) both rewarding and comfortable. So my September included the following interesting things (leaving out the non-kink stuff because I can’t link to it without COMPROMISING MY IMPORTANT OTHER CAREER IN POLITICS/THE SAS/THE BBC/THE FBI and all that);-

-Shooting for http://www.shadowlane.com/ TWICE! Yay! Shadowlane produces proper, feature-length movies with glamorous settings and lots of beautiful people. Wow! On the first day I got spanked by Arthur Sire, who is very attractive indeed, well done him. And Keith Jones punished me on day two. Hoorah, he’s lovely. Ladies, if you get a chance, do let him spank you, it’s like being punished by Rhett Butler;- charming but awfully firm. Mmm, Rhett Butler. I love him. Thank you Shadowlane!

-Getting over my ‘Being Spanked by a Woman Feels Wrong’ feelings, by working with Clare Fonda of http://www.girlspanksgirl.com/ and Chelsea Pfieffer of http://www.goodspanking.com/ . Well, how interesting! I’m very heterosexual, and never really fantasised about being punished by a woman; furthermore I was a bit scared that it’d hurt my pride too much. Being the victim of a big, strong man is one thing, but submitting to a lady (who will ALWAYS be smaller than me, ALWAYS) feels more threatening. I was tempted to try not to react much. And failed. Ouch, it was tough, But lovely fun, and I hope that one day I might be able to top like that. For now, I shall be content with having silly girl-crushes on any woman who CAN top properly. Woo!

-Then off I went to shoot with the lovely Jon Woods and Lorelei of http://www.americandamsels.com/ and http://www.bedroombondage.com/ . And got tied up lots. Whee, they suspended me in their garage! And let me do reverse prayer. Thank you Jon, thank you Lorelei! They were the first US bondage producers I worked with, and have always been super-supportive and kind. I do love this industry most of the time. Oh gush, gush ,gush, shut up and carry on with the story Miss Rutherford…..

Hooray, off to http://www.pavelphoto.com/ to shoot pantyhose. At least, that’s what he does with everyone else, but he always ties me up too. I’m not complaining, but isn’t it strange? Have a look on his preview page and see what I mean. Whee, thank you, Pavel – I love pantyhose (and bondage….)

And on my very last day, I trundled off to http://www.dallasspankshard.com/. And he really does, which is why he had to be scheduled last. But what lovely fun it was! He does a terrible thing, making you turn over an egg timer when he starts spanking, and then NOT STOPPING until all the sand has run through. And after that he got out a terrifying wooden paddle with holes bored through it…. Bloody hell, I do hate paddles. I kept falling over after every stroke to give myself some recovery time, but he wasn’t having any of it and held me up while paddling me. Which, I think, is deserving of some praise – I’m sure it’s a VERY tricky thing to do. Sabrina, his super girlfriend, took stills, and we had a lovely long talk about spanking. I love her! She’d organised the best costume ever for the shoot – I’ve always wanted to be a cheerleader. And she gave me the lovely white boots to take home, which I crammed into my suitcase with all the knitwear… Then I went back to my hotel, ate my very last meal from Del Taco (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) and flew home. 10 hours on a flight after a Dallas shoot is not to be recommended, but it was marvellous to be home.

The BDM met me at Heathrow, and we took a week off work to remember how to have a relationship and to have walks in the park with all the lovely autumn leaves. And I remembered what BDSM is like when it’s not work. Different. And perfect.

Welcome back to my blog everyone. I’ll really try harder this time!
