Moira Returns

 

A fitting conclusion: Moira Mitchell bares her bottom for a good, smart spanking over her land-lord's knee. See this post for further details.

 Followed by a good, smart spanking in front of all your friends.

Blushes 30: Inside Cover

Inside cover to Blushes no. 30, February 1987. Blushes sometimes used images of this nature to whet their readers' appetites for "schoolgirl" spanking stories.

Contractual Obligations

Young Moira Mitchell takes a domestic position on an isolated British island, never realizing (until far too late) that her new employer has other plans for her. After moving in, Moira is forced to play a game of penalties which she can't possibly win.

Every time she loses, she must either remove an article of clothing - or go over her landlord's knee for a good, smart spanking. Needless to say, her options become severely limited once she's stripped all the way down to her knickers and stockings...

 

As the game progresses, Moira is forced to bare her bottom for the proverbial spanking of a lifetime, but her troubles don't end there. Now completely subject to her employer's authority, she is required to play game after game, day after day, always  with the same humiliating consequences.

Le Serveur

Yes, the rumors are true: Ridley Scott started out directing TV commercials for Dim Lingerie in 1977. Lasting barely 40 seconds from start to finish, "Le Serveur" became one of the most influential campaigns in advertising history due to its exquisite visuals, subtle lighting and understated sense of humor. Viewed in retrospect, we can infer the reason behind Sigourney Weaver's gratuitous striptease at the end of Alien two years later.

Harenchi Gakuen

Based on Go Nagai's ground-breaking comic strip, Harenchi Gakuen incorporated a great deal of panchira (panty shots) and sukarto meguri (skirt flipping), with most of the lead actresses revealing their underwear at one point or another. The film even concluded with a Benny Hill-style chase scene, complete with attractive young starlets losing their clothes to a runaway bus:

 

 

 

 

 

Spring is in the air. 

More chaos ensues when the girls chase after the driver, demanding the return of their clothing (along with their dignity, one supposes), ably assisted by the local constable and various other aggrieved parties:

 

 

 

Insert "Yakety Sax" theme here.

According to Wikipedia and other sources, the original manga was highly controversial for its time (mainly due to its breaking of innumerable social taboos), though by 1970, the furor seemed to have died down to a dull roar. The film was successful enough to warrant three sequels, all of which employed the same basic formula.

Panty-cam Revisited

 So , would you email this picture to the school website?

Panty-Cam

Hey guise, what do you think of this idea: a visual novel where you can see upskirt pics of the girls' underwear? In fact, you can play the entire game in panty-cam mode and earn extra points by guessing the color of the girls' knickers!

Poll:

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. STFU & GTFO!!!

Classic Funhouse...

Not exactly the cancan, but counted amongst our all-time favorites nonetheless. Once again, we've used deep AI to give these exceptional pieces a new lease of life:

 

If memory serves correct, the last image was actually christened "off-duty cancan" and featured a dancer from the Windmill Theatre.

A Bit of Sauce

A few more saucy postcards from the vault. Sorry, had to truncate this first one due to the left side of the image being a little "scrambled" during the scanning process; hoping to find a more complete version in the near future:

Next, a sentiment I suspect we can all agree with (guess it must run in the family):

Not sure if this one technically qualifies as the cancan, but the girls' suspenders hearts all seem to be in the right places:

An Acquired Taste...

Adapted from a French postcard in BB's Tumblr collection. Literal translation: "There is no longer anyone here who tastes real bourgeois cuisine."

More British "Strips"

British comics at their finest - John M. Burns' Eartha (News of the World, 1982). A recognized veteran whose credits ranged from Modesty Blaise to Judge Dredd, Burns was a master of the female form, never hesitating to kit out his frequently reluctant heroines in stockings and garters whenever the opportunity arose.

See also Jane Revisited (1980s).

Hands, knees and ...

A slightly 'risque' look at the lighter side of ice skating by commercial artist J. Fredrick Smith; not explicitly cancan on ice, but about as close as we're likely to get in a 50s family journal. Saw this many years ago in an Advertising textbook, recall being vaguely surprised by both the pose and the flashed panties...

Then again, ice skating has always been the perfect excuse to reveal knickers and thighs, even in venues where they might least be expected...

Best Swishes Revisited

A recreation of Film Fun (February, 1936) featuring Enoch Bolles' famous cancan girl:

 

First, the original (with minor photoshop adjustments)...

...followed by the same image with the hemline headline raised...

 ...finally, all the "rough edges" smoothed out in AI (lost some of the detail, unfortunately).

And just as an added bonus: I found this version during my wanderings around the web; apparently part of a "valentine's day collection" by an artist named Blue Mourning. The bright red forms a sharp contrast with the original's cool-toned palate.

Jane's Journal

Yes, Norman Pett's Jane returns in this stock edition published by Rylee just two years after the war. The 41-page pamphlet includes photos, articles, sketches and a hand-colored strip rarely seen outside the UK. Oh, and page sixteen features this unexpected little gem:

Games we'd like to play...

By 2016, the formentioned Kogaru Diaries eventually evolved into a (proposed) series of RPGs. Taking our cue from the Japanese Ministry of Education, we intended "Kogal English Test" to be a digital teaching supplement, in which the player advances through various levels as the game unfolds.

Not that we were the first to come up with this idea. Osamu Tezuka's Fushigina Melmo was broadcast on TV as part of a national sex education program (talk about lateral thinking) while more recently, Saki Hasemi's Moetan was designed to teach English via panty shots and shower scenes - more indisputable evidence that Japan is home to the most advanced society on the planet.

Anyway, as the main focus of our game involves examining young girls' panties, the user is provided with various devices to assist with the inspection, such as a miniature flying saucer to blow their skirts up and a floating video camera to take close-ups of their underwear.

Each of these devices are available on request, as long as the player asks for each item in English (hey, what better incentive is there for learning a new language?) Users could also switch modes during gameplay, altering the style and color of the girls' knickers at will (see illustration posted below).

 

Hypothetically Speaking

Imagine you have a case of terminal cancer, and your only hope for survival is an experimental new therapy which will rewrite your genetic code at the molecular level. On the upside, you will live in perfect health for at least another sixty years. On the downside, you will have the appearance of a beautiful teenaged girl for the rest of your life.

Would you be willing to undergo this radical and potentially dangerous new treatment? Are you prepared to sacrifice your masculinity for an irreversible cure? Could you adjust to your lush, sensuous new body if they threw in a few million dollars compensation?

Wow, what a stupid question.

We've Just Passed Two Hundred Thousand!

Yes, that's right: as of 13 August, 2022, we've reached a grand total of 200,285 views - and the numbers continue to rise! Even more unbelievable: according to our stats, we scored more than 100,000 views within the last twelve months alone! 

What does all this mean? OK, let's try to put it into some kind of perspective. We established this blog waaaay back in May 2010, mainly as a database for lingerie scenes on film and TV. Following a couple of false starts, we bumbled along with a few hundred visits per month for the first eleven years (more or less the average for a niche blog like this), then suddenly our ratings shot through the ceiling.

What happened? None of us know for sure. The change came directly out of left field, catching all of us by surprise. We noticed a huge influx from Europe (particularly France) as well as a steady climb in Canada and the US, but we've yet to figure out how the digital landscape changed in such a short span of time. On the other hand, we have a few clues with might point us in the right direction.

First, there's Benny Hill. Benny has always been a perennial favorite on this site, with this post amassing 5047 views on its own. Seems that there's still a huge audience out there, thirty years after the great man's passing, and it's no secret that Benny's "silent comedies" appeal to a vast demographic on both sides of the Atlantic. Just goes to prove that some forms of humor transcend language and cultural barriers (especially when there are bras, knickers and beautiful young women involved). At present, we have no less than thirteen articles devoted to Benny's girls, and people simply can't get enough.

Another contributing factor might be diversity. Variety being the spice of life, we wanted to explore visual media of every conceivable form: film and TV, comics and cartoons, manga and anime; literally anything we could find in the uncharted corners of the Web (how did we ever survive without the internet?).

So, what would you do...

 ...if you walked through a doorway and came face-to-face with this?
