Post #1000!

As many of my long-time readers know, I started blogging on MySpace many years ago, and when they tanked, I switched over to Blogger in 2010. Since then, my combined posts on Blogger and then WordPress have reached a whopping one thousand. Can’t believe I had that much to say, and I’m still going at it.

What to write for #1000… I had some good suggestions, and thanks to everyone for those. I finally decided to do a tribute post to all the men I’ve worked with in video over the years. It will be a fun retrospective for me, and hopefully for you too.

So that there is no appearance of favoritism, I will post them alphabetically.

Danny Chrighton

It’s fitting that he is first, because not only did we shoot “When Danny Met Erica,” together, but we were play partners and the best of friend for three years, before he moved out of state. We’re still in touch periodically and I hope to see him at a party one of these days. He is dear to me, and I’m so glad I have our video as a souvenir of our time together.

“Coach” Daniels

“Coach” and his partner, Ms. Burns, AKA Veronica Daniels, worked for Real Spankings Institute, then branched off as The Spanking Couple. About ten years ago, they did a filmed interview with me, and Coach and I did a spanking/caning scene. He dubbed me “Great Scott,” which tickled me. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter they were both outed in the scene and all their material was taken down. But I still have the clip and pictures, and a fond memory.

Michael Donovan, AKA The Villain, AKA the Court Disciplinarian

When Spanking Court was filming (sadly, they are no longer), I was lucky enough to do a six-clip story arc with them. Michael and I were friends and occasional play partners then, so it was a joy to be able to work with him. We did a little video on our own as well, “The Villain Strikes Erica Scott,” which I now have in my Spanking Library clips. I had so much fun with him, and with everyone involved in SC.

Steve Fuller

Now retired, Steve was quite the shining star in the video world, working for several companies, and I had the extreme pleasure of being his very first co-star, in Shadow Lane‘s “The Spanking Professor.” I also worked with him for Spanking Epics, doing a couple of their “spanklets” and being part of an ensemble with him in the Being Keith Jones Trilogy. I really liked Steve and miss seeing him in videoland!

Keith Jones

What can I say about Keith — he was my very first co-star, back in 2000 for Shadow Lane, and we went on to do five full-length videos plus a spanklet for Spanking Epics together. Working with him was amazing and we had a lot of fun times, both shooting and playing at parties. He was the one who gave me the nickname “Bionic Bottom.” (It’s not so much anymore, but it was for years!) 🙂 Here I am gleefully pointing out where I’d nicked him after beaning him with a prop bottle. (Actually, I felt awful about that, but he was a good sport!)

Paul Kennedy

I love this man; he’s a good friend to John and me, and he’s the partner of my dear friend Alex Reynolds. I met him in 2009 at a Shadow Lane party, and have wanted to work with him for years. Finally got my chance when Pandora Blake came to L.A. and shot us in “The Workaholic” for Dreams of Spanking. It was a fun shoot, full of energy and snappy dialogue, and great spanking (hand, hairbrush, belt).

Ralph Marvell

Of all my co-stars, I’ve known Ralph the longest; we met in 1999, became friends, and shot “Spank Thy Neighbor” for Shadow Lane in 2001. We got a little frisky at the end of that video, and the first time I watched it was quite the experience, sitting between Ralph and John and blushing from head to toe. We’re still buddies to this day.

(Jesus, those granny panties… not of my choosing!)

Stephen Lewis

I shot two films for Northern Spanking with Stephen, and he was a blast. He was a wonderful sport, even when I was throwing his slipper at him or dumping M&M’s over his head, and he and I had crackling chemistry and repartee on screen. He had the ability to meet all my smart-assery with his own jabs, which made it all the more fun.

Devlin O’Neill

Devlin and I did one shoot together, Shadow Lane‘s “Stand Corrected,” and it was quite the memorable experience. We wrote the script, and we did a road trip together from L.A. to Vegas. Both of us had terrible colds, but we soldiered on, sucking down Sudafed and throat lozenges, and made it through a vigorous shoot. Devlin was a sweetie, and we had a lot of laughs during our long drive to and from Vegas. He even let me eat ice cream in his car, which he teasingly told me not to mention, because his littles at the time were not allowed to do so! (That was eleven years ago, so I think it’s OK to mention it now!)

John Osborne

The busy top of Triple AAA Spanking (and partner of Sarah Gregory), John and I have shot several videos, both for his site and for Sarah’s. John is a lot of fun to work with; he’s sweet and funny and I enjoy playing with him off camera too!

Paul Rogers

In 2010, I flew to Connecticut to shoot with Sarah Gregory and Paul, for both her site and his clip site Spanking 101. I was with them four days, shot a lot of content and had a marvelous time. Paul and Sarah treated me like a queen and we ended up with some great stuff. Paul is one hell of a spanker, too — I trashed his hand, but he trashed me pretty good too! (In the best possible way, of course.)

Uncle Bob

I shot a few clips for Uncle Bob’s Woodshed clip site a few years ago, including a fun one called “Sweet Revenge” in which I blistered Bob’s hand. 😀  Ah, I love it when that happens. I’ve known Bob for many years and it’s always fun to see him at parties.

Richard Windsor

Rich and I did a little bit of filming together: we shot a vignette for Pixie’s “Cause For Paws,” a quickie clip advertising my book back in 2011, and a two-part interview for Spanking Tube. Even though the experiences were brief, they were great fun.

Robert Wolf

Last but definitely not least, Robert (Lily Starr’s hubby) and I have shot several clips together for Lily Starr Spanking, including “The Devil Wears a Red Bottom,” “The Online Menace” (in which I blistered his hand as well), and one of my favorites, “The Secret Life of the Kinky Wife.” He’s a sweetie (as is his lovely wife!).

I do need to mention Amateur Spankings — I shot for them, but the spanker likes to stay off camera and I don’t know what name he uses publicly, so it’s best that I leave it at that. But it was fun and he’s a nice guy. 🙂

Honorable mention: There is one man I’ve always wished I could have shot with, and that’s Eric Strickman, AKA Uncle Eric. He and I have never met, but we used to IM a great deal and we even talked on the phone a couple of times (those of you who know me, know what a rarity that is). Why did I want to shoot with him? Just look at him!

I’ve been so very lucky, working with such talented men. They gave me more memorable experiences than I can count and brought me much delicious pain and even more delicious pleasure. Thank you all. ♥

That’s it for #1000. I don’t know if I have another thousand in me, kids, but as long as you want to keep reading, I’ll keep writing.

Have a great weekend, y’all.

My head is exploding!

In a good way. I came home from John’s this evening to some lovely surprises.

First, the video that Richard Windsor and I shot is finally up on Spanking Tube. For whatever reason, he had to upload the thing three times before ST put it up! It was worth the wait; he did a great editing job and I’m so pleased with the results. Check it out:

In case you’re wondering about that Ultra-Popular Top business, it’s kind of an inside joke. The Ultra-Popular Top, or the UPT, is an affectionate nickname that several of us have for Rich on FetLife, so we had a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun with it in the video. Considering how many women have been over his lap, I’d say the appellation is fitting, no?

Oh, and that snit he’s referring to, and my comment about “stupid people on FetLife”? I was in a pissy mood one day, about a week before the party, because two men (I don’t know either one of them) had posted two separate comments on Fet that irked me. On one thread, several of us were talking about how much fun it is to be “double-teamed” by two spankers, and one man chimed in with, “It’s not supposed to be fun.” Then, on another thread, someone else posted that pre-spanking negotiations were unnecessary because “a spankee has no real right to say anything about what their punishment should be.” Excuse me??

So, those “stupid people” were two strangers. Not anyone I know (or want to).

Next, I discovered that Lea had posted a wonderful review of my book, and that Cranky Spanker had written not one, but two blog posts about me. And finally, the reviews on Amazon.com are now up to five — thank you, friends! You guys are all so dear and I appreciate you more than I can say.

One question for the Kindle viewers. I know I had issues with the formatting when I converted the Word file to the Kindle file. One friend told me she didn’t see anything weird or glitchy when she read her copy, but someone on Amazon said there were formatting issues. So… did any of you who have ordered the Kindle version see anything off? If so, could you let me know where it is? I know I can edit it, but it’s a matter of figuring out how. Thanks. (Personally, I wish everyone would order a paperback version because of that most excellent cover, but I know I’m behind the times.)

It was a quiet weekend, which was just fine after all the excitement last weekend. We watched a lot of 9/11 remembrance programming, which was sad. Dateline had an hour dedicated to the Flight 93 heroes who stormed the cockpit and prevented the terrorists from crashing the Capitol building. Hearing the wives of some of those men speak made me cry. I don’t like endless morbid rehashing of horrible events as a rule (John watches WWII footage over and over on the History channel, which annoys me to no end), but I do agree that life changed on 9/11, ten years ago. 😦

Anyway… enough of that. Tomorrow, I get to see NG again. Life is good.

All over the map today

The pre-party jitters have settled in for the duration. I probably should have passed on the caffeinated coffee this morning. Besides being keyed up over SL, I’m still on a high from the shoot last week and my book coming out, so there is a bit of overload happening. Deep breaths, Erica. I know I’m setting myself up for a spectacular drop, but I’ll worry about that later.

The preparations are in gear. Already got the pedicure (I don’t bother with manicures; my fingernails are hideous, so I just cut them short) and the haircut, and banished those pesky gray hairs. I tore my closet apart yesterday, trying on outfits. Usually I buy something new for these parties, but this year, money is especially tight. So I’m recycling.

Today is laundry day and my last trip to the gym for a few days. Tomorrow will be a whirlwind of last-minute odds and ends. Yes, I know, I’m only going away for three days. I’m not moving to Siberia. But this is what I do.

Anyway, I have a bunch of shout-outs today. The wonderful Zelle is at it again, singing my book’s praises on her blog. I nearly fell over in my chair laughing when I saw her clever Photoshop of me emerging from a coffee cup (go look). Thank you, my friend! What are your publicist rates? I owe you a bundle by now.

There’s a new book in the spanko world! The Spanking Writers (Abel and Haron) have put together an anthology of spanking stories from various writers, entitled The Spanking Collection. And here’s the best part: all proceeds from the book will be donated to cancer research. Please check it out.

Sending out my best wishes and warm hugs to the beautiful Pixie, who is home recovering from surgery. She’s had a tough year and I hope things look up for her very soon. I really am fond of that girl.

This week, The Villain and Dana Kane are relocating to Las Vegas. Las Vegas’s gain is definitely L.A.’s loss! (sniff) But they have both assured me they will be back here regularly, including for Spanking Court shoots. Last week when I told V, “I don’t want you guys to move away!”, he laughed and said, “Ah, we’re just over the hill!” Over the hill, he says. I wish I were so laid back about a 4-5 hour drive! Anyway… I wish them the very best on their move.

Last but definitely not least, that wonderful UPT (Ultra-Popular Top) Richard Windsor offered to shoot a little book promo video with me at the party, to put on Spanking Tube. You’ll see a very different Richard from the one who shot the interview with me last year — a lot less of him, to be specific. What is it now, Rich — 80 pounds down? Somewhere around there. 🙂 Fabulous.

All right… must go be productive.

Part 2 is up, and Erica is a crybaby

Some of you may have already noticed, but Part 2 of my Richard Windsor interview is now up on Spanking Tube, here. I really appreciate Rich getting these up so quickly, and I hope you guys like them! And if you do, please do take a sec and give a rating. I suppose there will be those who are disappointed because there’s no spanking, just talking, but there will be that fun little spanking clip that Rich and I did as well, coming soon.

Please excuse me, but I’m going to whine now. I went to the dentist today. Here’s what was on the docket: an old crown on the upper left was to be removed and replaced, and the tooth next to it needed a filling. Then on the lower left, an old filling was to be replaced.

The crown should have been simple; the plan was to pry it off, take the impression for the new one, then cement the old one back on as a temporary until the new one was done in a couple of weeks. However, that didn’t happen. The damned old crown would not come off.

Dr. T said he was going to try to “tap” it off. He was going to hammer at it a bit in an attempt to loosen it, but I wouldn’t feel any pain. Well, guess what… despite four shots of anesthetic (yes, four), I still felt pain up in the jawbone. Plus, the feel and sound of the impact did something to me–I could sense and hear this banging resonating loudly through my head, and it freaked me out. I guess I must have gone chalk white, and I didn’t realize I was twisting and wringing my fingers until the dental assistant laid her hand gently over mine. The doc would stop, then try again, but the @#$%ing thing still wouldn’t come off and I was clearly terrified, so he stopped.

Plan B — drill the old crown off and fit me for a new acrylic temporary, since the old one would now be history. So drill, drill, drill away, plus drilling for the new filling in the tooth next door. Granted, by now the anesthetic was fully kicked in and I felt nothing, but my jaw was wedged open and my mouth stretched wide, and I could hear the drill (plus there’s that lovely smell of your teeth disintegrating). So when he finally said, “OK, drilling is over,” I had to fight the urge to burst into tears of relief. Yes, I am a big old baby.

The crown and the one filling ended up taking 2 1/4 hours total, and they didn’t even get to the second filling. They’ll do that when I go back for the permanent crown. However, I couldn’t get an appointment for that until three weeks from today. And instead of my porcelain old crown as a temp, I have an acrylic that isn’t meant to withstand all that much stress. The last time I had a temporary crown, I chewed right through it.

God, I hate dental work. You can say what you like about my spanking tolerance, but I am not a masochist. I hate pain.

The lidocaine has worn off and a dose of Advil has beaten the flare-up of pain down into a dull ache. And I have been warned not to eat anything sticky or really hard for the next few weeks. Thank God I don’t chew gum.

OK, whining over. Thank you for listening.

Part 1 of Richard Windsor interview up!

Since I was a such a jabber-puss, my interview will be in two parts. Part 1 is on SpankingTube, here. The lighting is quite dark, unfortunately, but the sound is crisp and clear.

I hope you guys will watch and enjoy! And if you do, please do leave a rating and perhaps a comment. Part 2 should be up sometime tomorrow.

“Very famous spanking actress,” Rich? 😀  Shucks. Thank you, sweetie.

Oh, and here is Richard’s blog post about it as well.

Shadow Lane party, Part 1 (Friday)

It was a wonderful weekend! I have gotten a good night’s sleep and unpacked everything, so I’m taking today to relax and enjoy post-party dishing. I even postponed my dental work until next week; I just couldn’t see going from such euphoria right into so much discomfort. Talk about buzz kill!

Our trip to Vegas was flawless this time. No traffic, so even with one stop in Barstow, plus missing the freeway exit and having to get to the hotel via a circuitous route, we still made it in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Several of our friends were already there and I’m sure we could have found a suite party, but I needed to unwind a bit before the main festivities started. I had sworn I’d leave my cell phone on all weekend (except when I was sleeping), but I wasn’t quite ready to turn it on yet. So we took a nap first. Of course, when I finally did turn it on, my first message was from Danny, saying, “Turn your cell phone on!”

I’ve often tried to describe Friday evenings at SL, but words can’t convey the excitement of seeing so many old friends (and meeting new ones) en masse, coming at me from all directions. The first couple of hours is a tumbling tide of greetings, hugs and kisses, smiling and shrieking and laughing until my voice cracks, barely being able to finish a sentence to one person before another appears by my side. If I tried to name everyone, I’d inevitably miss a few, so I won’t endeavor to do so.

One exception: as I was making my rounds in the ballroom and collecting hugs, J came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. “Look who’s waiting to meet you!” It was Sophie, Danny’s friend and play partner, whom I’ve been eager to meet. I knew I’d like her and I did immediately. And if you think she’s cute in pictures and on video, that is nothing compared to how she is in person. Oh, and seeing Danny was OK too. (kidding, honey! You know it was a joy for me to see you again.)

And one more exception — my wonderful friend Carolyn from AZ, whom I haven’t seen for such a long time. She and I were kindred spirits from the days of my MSN board and I adore her.

My first spanking of the weekend was, as it should be, from my dear friend Craig. I hadn’t seen him for quite some time, except for a brief visit earlier that week when he came over to drop off his fire-and-wax kit. He and his wife Gia Belle were flying and we were driving, so we’d agreed to bring it for him. Our first scene was a quickie warmup in the ballroom, but I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have my first scene with.

More wandering, more greeting, more introducing, and before I knew it, it was time to go off with Richard Windsor to his room, where we were to shoot my interview. He had the webcam set up as well as the video recorder for a later DVD, but the live feed was not meant to be that night. It had worked the day before, but it stubbornly refused to work now, no matter how much he futzed with it. It’s a shame, because 12 people were tuned in to watch, but one of them said they had sound but no picture. Oh well. It will be burned to DVD, so people can see it later.

What fun! Rich and I talked and talked and talked — we sat side by side and he asked me questions, and I felt a comfortable rapport with him. So what was originally intended to be about 15 minutes stretched into 40! He said he will probably break it up into parts. I can’t wait to see it; we covered a lot of ground.

After the interview, we shot a brief spanking on behalf of Pixie. Because she managed to raise so much money for Cause For Paws, she was going to reward everyone with a video of her receiving a full 20 minutes of spanking. Ouch! So of course, when Rich asked me if I’d be willing to take a few minutes of Pixie’s swats, I readily agreed. I called it “Operation Save Pixie’s A**.” 😀  I think a few others were scheduled to do the same. We do love our Pixie.

Because of the camera troubles and the interview going on much longer than planned, I didn’t go back to my room until 11:00, even though I’d told J I’d be back around 10:15-10:30. Ooops. I found a note from him, saying he’d gone to a suite party. I felt bad, but he wasn’t upset. Things at these gatherings rarely go according to schedule. Anyway, I joined him in Tom’s suite, where I found him chatting with my buddy Jujubees and her friend Jules. I had promised we’d go to our friend Carolyn’s suite for her birthday party, so we headed there shortly. (Different Carolyn; our other friend from CO, AKA Bratzilla, as she is a troublemaker extraordinaire. And I adore her as well.)

Room 1059 was hopping when we got there. We didn’t see a whole lot of Carolyn, since every other minute she was being escorted into the bedroom for a birthday spanking, but there were several others. J settled down to chat with our friend Mir and I sat on his left, fishing out my phone and starting to send a text. Next thing I knew, my old friend Andrew Morgan swooped down on me, said, “Stop texting” and pulled me to my feet. He took me to the center of the room and bent me over the table, brandishing his cane. Oh boy, a front-and-center scene, every attention whore’s dream!

It got even better, though. After Andy had given me a couple of strokes, a voice from across the room said, “Hey Andy… you can do better than that.” Keith Jones, no less. He stood on my right and Andy on my left, and they double-teamed me with two canes. It became one of those crowd-pleaser scenes — J said the whole room had stopped talking to watch. Andy was striking higher up while Keith struck in the sweet spot, so Andy was singing “I’ll take the high road and you take the low road…” LOL!

At one point, Andy was commenting about how I rise up on my toes every time I get struck. I always have — it’s a reflex action with me. He was teasing about how I would “relevé” (rise up on the toes) like a ballerina, and how he was half-expecting me to “plié” (do a deep-knee bend with the knees turned out) next. In reply, I dipped into a plié, and the room broke up laughing. Yes, my mother had sent me to ballet school when I was a clumsy, chubby child in an attempt to teach me some grace, so I remembered my ballet positions!

After that, we stayed in 1059 for a while longer and then wandered back to 901, which turned out to be one of the party rooms of the weekend (open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon). There I played once again with Craig, who took me into the bedroom and over his knee at the front of one of the beds. A double flogging was taking place on the other bed, so a lot of people were in the room watching. Before Craig could get too far, J jumped in and after getting Craig’s OK, sat next to us and took my right cheek while Craig took my left. What the hell was up with the double-teaming that night??? Arrgh!

Back out in the living room, J and I were watching as Danny spanked Sophie on the couch. (Can I just stop here and say that I barely saw that girl vertical all weekend long?) J dared me to pour some of my water onto D’s head, and I demurred. But then Sophie said, “Erica, I’ll love you forever if you do!” D blurted, “If you do, she gets it really bad!” “It’ll be totally worth it!” Sophie retorted. So I splashed water on D’s head and neck, just a little. Trust me, I don’t go to this level of bratting unless I am 100% positive that it’s OK. Sophie, as promised, got whaled on as a result, but then it was my turn. He claimed he was going to spank me until his hair was dry. Fortunately, he didn’t follow through with that. 🙂

Before we knew it, it was after 2:00 a.m. I know a lot of people continued partying and stayed up all night, but we all know I can’t do that. I had my shoot for Northern Spanking early the next afternoon and I wanted to be somewhat fresh, even though I never sleep well on Friday nights at these things (too keyed up!). So, with the mantra of “pace myself” going through my head, I regretfully said my good-nights and we went back to our room to get ready for bed.

Part 2, Saturday, coming soon!
