Furthermore our friend Asa from
started a new story from us
Ballerina part 5 and Epilogue
ReplyDeleteI so love this, B, over on Asa's site (December 1st). One of my all time fave stories of yours. Margot is to be admired!
Lovely intro:
"I was facing one of the corners of the grand hall with my uniform skirt pinned up with clothespins, and my knickers were down to my knees. I was blushing and desperately wanted to rub my scorched bum, but I had to keep my hands on top of my head."
Absolutely right, B. CP defined there, B! A statement of purity. Very authentic for y'all memoirs!!
And then this fabulous narrative, B
"A new girl and her parents were visiting. Her father didn’t sound too happy. “Five years of pricey lessons for nothing!” They stopped in their tracks. One second earlier the heels of the mother were tip-tapping the marble floor of the grand hall, and they suddenly stopped. The father teasingly chimed, and it was obviously meant for his wife, “That’s a well punished young lady, it must bring back memories?”
She laughed, “It sure does!” She added for her daughter, “That’s the tawse…” She was interrupted, “Mummy please, that’s horrible!”
“It will straighten you out ! You only have a year till your exam.” She paused before adding, “It was a severe regime, but it did me a world of good. I made the Quadrille exam of the Paris Opera Ballet, and I met your father.”
Wow! Love the bedrock of discipline. I always said in the 1970s, B, that I gotten to uni because of my botty (bared & tanned-sore a whole bunch!)...not my brains ha-ha!!
I love the ballet techy jargon (you dancer you!!) and I love the surface layers of normal, vanilla fun & endeavours, underpinned by very strict foundations of traditional, firm regimes of guidance, Spartan discipline and punishments when needed (...and necessarily fierce upon bare princess bottoms at that!! )
Soooo love the photo above, on your O&P Link: the terrible cane in view. Pink gingham dress hoisted. And those snuggy, navy knickers gotten pulled down to knees for a bare-baker's dozen (I all-too-remember those from mother, B, Cane to bare botty :-(
Boo-Hoo!
Yes, I'm carrying the rod...slowly! (picture 4). Cobalt skirt is much loved, B :-)
Yellow sweat bands. Pray, aerobics and spanking, alreday ha-ha!
Drawing 1 - I like the electric green cap, pinky socks (and blue dress, naturally) The green cap remains in situ, B... alas, when the knickers are pulled down for brattitude adjustment!!
Oh my! As you know, I love my tennis, B, and cheerleading and track n field. Spanking is fully integrated into those ha-ha! Well, it was just Southern life, growing up, already!!!!
Hugs n smackies n big thanks
