Series - One Hit Wonders (1)

In the current era we may begin to feel that we actually know a bit about the real-life people that we see in spanking websites - even 'though that is undoubtedly something of an illusion.  It's probably because of the ease of producing videos that this has come about - it's clearly much more difficult to fake scenes when they're recorded on video than just captured with still photographs, especially when black and white photography predominated.  As a result many - perhaps even most - of those we are seeing in newly produced materials actually enjoy the experience and probably carry it on in their private live as well. For someone who just wants to make some money, it's not that easy nowadays.  We see punishments carried out that would, without question, be painful and we are critical where we see girls being punished too lightly.  It clearly stands out as absolutely ridiculous if a girl is stripped naked, bent over and then just feebly tapped with a cane fifty or sixty times.  If a girl is really punished in such a fashion you would expect to see very significant marking and clear distress, even if she does ultimately enjoy it in some way.

Of course there are exceptions.  It's not very long ago that a model called Katie Spades claimed to be a lifestyle spankee only for it be revealed later that she hated it but just wanted to make money from it.  Also some of the items coming from Eastern Europe in particular go much further than many of us might feel comfortable with and there has to be a clear inference that many of those who agree to be subjected to such brutal punishments are simply desperate to make money.  This is inferred pretty strongly when you find a website out there calling itself Caned 4 Cash (now defunct).  Nevertheless more and more spanking websites show behind the scenes clips showing the participants all really having a good time making the movie, and interview where the participants talk - apparently honestly - about how they feel and why they enjoy the scene.  there are also more opportunities to take part in parties and suchlike and meet and interact with the girls you have seen on your computer screen

If you go back to the 1970-90's period it all seems rather different.  There was really any feeling of connection withe the real life persona of the models,  So who were these people?  Some of them never even got a name attached to them.  Very many appeared once in a magazine like Roue, Janus or the Blushes stable and were never seen again.  One or two did do interview pieces but because these were just in print for, there was always a feeling that they were totally made up.  Quite a number were clearly very young - in the 18-25 age band perhaps.  More than a few looked a bit posh interestingly enough.  Some were extremely attractive but perhaps lacked the qualities sought by the very demanding glamour market.  Perhaps some of them were just needing to make a bit of extra money and if they couldn't make it from high-end glamour modelling, decided they preferred to take part in CP shoots rather than conventional sex scenes where they might be expected to have unprotected intercourse.  Perhaps there were students who were struggling to exist on their grant (we had them in those days) and thought this was such a niche area that nobody was ever likely to find out.  In many cases they might be required to wear outfits or accept nude scenes but rarely did the photographers in those days reveal too much.  And because film and colour printing was expensive, many of the scenes were only recorded with a still camera and black and white was widely used so it wasn't to hard to fake some marking and not have to actually endure a painful experience.  Over the next few weeks I'm going to feature some of these girls from Janus. Most - I think - only ever appeared in one issue.  However I would love to know if anyone knows any more about the girls I'm going to feature, whether they ever appeared elsewhere, and whether we actually know anything about them.
