Spanking View

Heather Green is a beautiful new spanking model who I had the opportunity to shoot during the Shadow Lane convention recently.  She is tall, lean, has a curvy bottom and lots of energy.  She can take a very hard spanking, and is pretty good at giving one, as well.  She is just now making her mark on various spanking sites, and currently appears on Spanked Call Girls with her good friend Alex Reynolds.  Heather was gracious enough to give me outstanding answers to my 10 questions (plus a bonus one).  Here is what Heather had to say:

1.  Do you consider yourself a spanko (ie someone into spanking) and if so, when did you get started, how did it happen (first time if you remember) and how much of a spanko would you consider yourself?

HEATHER: I have considered myself to be into spanking since I knew what the word meant. I have been fascinated and slightly obsessed, with the idea since I was a very young child, but I was never spanked as a kid. I do, however, remember it being referenced quite often. There was a gold-backed children’s book about a mother cat and her kittens that had been very mischievous. It illustrated a picture of one of the kittens over the mother cat’s knee, kicking and crying during a spanking while the other kittens waited in line for their turn. I can’t describe why this gave me the chills as a six year old, but I distinctly remember looking over the back over and over in private (in my closet) for fear of someone seeing me reading it and thinking I was doing something wrong. It felt shameful for some reason. There were many, many other examples of this behavior through my childhood, teenage years and my adulthood. So I would definitely consider myself a 100% hard-wired spanko.

I’ve gone through the stages of discovering my obsession with spanking, being afraid of it, being ashamed and disgusted, finding others who were just like me, and finally accepting it as a part of who I am. It was a lengthy, and unfortunately embarrassing process, but I am who I am because of it.

My first spanking was when I was 20 years old by my current boyfriend. We weren’t romantically involved at the time, but we were both each other’s first real life experience with spanking. I met him through an online yahoo spanking group while he was overseas and I was living with my vanilla boyfriend of four years. We had been communicating heavily for two months prior to him coming to live in Vacaville, CA, located about 30 minutes from me. We talked about everything, he knew thoroughly who I was as a spanko before we met in person. I craved discipline and structure from someone independent and different from the social norm. He was exactly that, he was confident in who he was as a spanko and desired the same connection as me. We talked for up to eight hours at a time over instant messages. The first time he spanked me we were in his apartment hanging out like we usually did. I was a nervous wreck and he wanted to get the first time over with. It was purely experimental. We wanted to make sure we had the mechanics down before pursuing any type of discipline/structured dynamic. It took me almost 2 hours of sitting on the couch to finally go through with it. Once I was over his lap I remember thinking “wow, this isn’t a big deal at all”. It felt good to finally be in a position that I had craved since childhood. Things eventually escalated from there and we developed a very strong relationship both as a dynamic and a friendship.

2.  In our scenes, you switched – spanked and got spanked.  Do you have a preference?  How much do you like one vs. the other? (In the above photo Heather is demonstrating a very nice impact shot.  She prefers not to top, but she is still very good at it).

HEATHER: I definitely prefer getting spanked over anything else. I am unable to truly identify with topping, as I don’t feel dominant in any way as a spanko.

 

3.  You worked with your friend Alex Reynolds in our first scene, spanking each other.  What was that like?

HEATHER: I love Alex! We play really well off of eachother. Its usually very effortless. We have been getting spanked together for a while now, so I think we know each other’s vibe. We tend to keep it really goofy. The very first time I spanked her it was with a stock of celery and recorded on an iphone. I was really awkward with it but it was a blast. She’s actually gotten really good a giving a firm spanking, though. She knows how to make it feel ultra stingy with her hand. She definitely learned well from her Dom/boyfriend and one of my best friends Malignus. Honestly, I was really nervous about topping in a video since I have very little experience with it, but getting to do it with Alex made me feel a million times more comfortable.

4.  You worked with Veronica Ricci in the second.  What was that like?

HEATHER: Veronica is such a spunky and outgoing girl. She’s really good at improvising things to say in a matter of seconds, which in turn helped me stay on my toes and think quickly. The scene I did with her was probably the silliest one I’ve ever been involved in. I would absolutely love to work with her again in the future.

 

5.  In the scene with Veronica you had to play a character who was getting taught a lesson about blow jobs using a banana.  (Above photo shows Veronica spanking Heather for an upcoming scene on Spanked Call Girls in which Veronica teaches Heather how to give a BJ on a banana). How awkward was that and care to share anything about this experience (was it the first time giving a BJ to a banana)?

HEATHER: It wasn’t awkward at all because I was just having fun with it. My philosophy with any awkward situation is that if you don’t want to feel awkward, then you have the power to choose to not feel awkward.  So I made the conscious choice to just let it be fun! It certainly turned out to be outrageously silly, and I had to try really hard not to laugh, especially when I got yelled at by Veronica for biting the tip of the banana off and spitting it on the ground.

I can’t say I have ever practiced giving a blowjob to a banana, or any other phallic object for that matter. It was never high on the priority list.

 

6.  Most models say they channel a certain character or movie when the portray a call girl for this site?  How did you create your character?

HEATHER: I wasn’t used to having to be mean and catty to Alex. I had to think of some really mean things to say to her, that I normally wouldn’t even fathom saying in real life. The character type that popped into my head during that scene was the movie Mean Girls. I pictured myself as one of them; arrogant, self- absorbed, immature, and just plain mean! It helped a lot. It’s not normally in my nature to tell someone that I’m prettier or more suited for something than someone else (I had to say things along these lines). But I had to fake it and try my best to act like a rude, selfish, bitchy, call girl.

7.  What would you say the hardest spanking you received from a male, and the hardest from a female – that you feel comfortable talking about?

HEATHER: I made the mistake of getting two speeding tickets, going the same speed, on the same highway, and in the time span of two months. Travis (my top/boyfriend) was really not amused by this. He had already spanked me for the first ticket so when he found out about the second one, he gave me probably the hardest spanking I’ve ever had from a male. It consisted of his hand, a hairbrush, and many many strokes with his belt. I can’t say exactly how long it lasted, but I remember standing in the corner thinking it had been upwards of 30 minutes, and I would give anything for it to end. However, as I was standing in the corner, he asked me a question in which I failed to respond correctly by forgetting to say “sir”. This was an ongoing problem throughout the punishment so I knew it was the last straw. He held me by the waist while I was standing there and gave me some of the most severe hand swats that I have ever felt over an already very sore and red behind. I haven’t gotten a speeding ticket since!!

8.  How often would you say you get spanked each month and what are some typical reasons for you getting spanked.

HEATHER: I get swatted at on a daily basis. My boyfriend and I are very playful in that sense. He swats me for having an “attitude” or saying something silly and dumb. Really anything I do can warrant a swat or two. Once in a while I will say or do something so outrageously silly that he will grab a flip flop, book, paddle, or anything within reach to swat me with. This usually ends with a laugh from him, and a grouchy face or slight tear from me. As far as the more serious stuff goes, I generally behave myself really well! It’s the big adult things that would warrant a serious spanking. Like getting a ticket, or most likely doing something that puts my health at risk. Overall, when it comes to the playful stuff, it’s daily, when it comes to the serious stuff, it’s rare.

9.  You seem very thin, but with a curve to your bottom.  Do you exercise (for the buns) and diet a lot?  What’s your secret?

HEATHER: I try really hard not to get into the dieting thing. It’s not healthy for an already healthy girl to think about it too much. I do, however, exercise almost every day. I’m a bit of a health nut in that sense. I’ve always been very athletic, so I easily feel a lull in my energy if that aspect is ever lacking, even a little bit. I don’t think there is a real secret that will work for everyone the same way. Personally, I just know that if I stay active every day, I’ll remain healthy and happy, and apparently acquire a curvy backside in the meantime 😉

10.  Any interests you care to share outside of spanking?

HEATHER: Lately I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel frequently. I’ve seen a new country and over 30 new states. Many of these adventures I’ve been able to share with Alex, and I think we counted about 20 new states that we saw together. It keeps me feeling lively and I hope to continue exploring new places. I also am an avid snowboarder and can’t wait to see what this upcoming season has in store for me regarding that. On a smaller scale, I love reading, running/working out, my dog, my car, and swimming in large bodies of water J

11.  BONUS QUESTION:  What famous person would you like to spank?  And which one would you like to have spank you?  Pick one male, one female please.

HEATHER: I would like to be spanked by Ryan Gosling because he portrays himself in a very quiet, mysterious, and dominant manner. But he really seems so gentle. Also, he’s Ryan Gosling 😛

I cant think of any famous person I would like to spank because I don’t really switch. But if by spank you mean hit really hard in the backside with a bag of rocks, I would have to pick any of the Jersey Shore characters.

Hey so this is my first ever interview on this blog and it’s a great one with Snow Mercy.  I know it’s long, but Snow is so fascinating I hope you can find the time to give it a read.  And let me know if you want more like this.

CAMERAMAN:  Snow, I remember what a strong impression you made the first time we met, which was at a Shadow Lane convention a few years ago.  Clare Fonda and I shot you for a Spanked Sweeties and I was impressed with your beauty, intelligence and how forthright you were in your interview. 

SNOW:  Thank you!! :blush:

1.  CAMERAMAN: Do you remember your thoughts leading up to shooting with Clare and any thoughts on that first shoot?

SNOW: I was worried with thoughts like “I hope they like me,” “I hope I’m not too tall,” and “I hope they aren’t assholes.”   Both you and Clare were very nice and professional, and I was impressed with how efficient shooting went along.  Cameraman, you delivered quite the hard spanking!  I wasn’t expecting that level of impact….ouch!

2.  CAMERAMAN:  Ha, Snow.  I don’t often get to be the one doing the spanking as I am usually behind the camera.  But while you are tall, I am taller so it made sense for me to play  your dad.  I must say I enjoyed that moment and remember it fondly.   Maybe I will get another opportunity some day…. oh, I am digressing.  So anyway, during your Sweeties interview, you discussed many spankings you received growing up.  Do you believe that being spanked growing up has any correlation to being a spanko later in life? 

SNOW: I sometimes wonder if I equate spanking with affection.  My parents weren’t affectionate, so normally they’d only touch me when spanking me.  I’m sure I’m a spanko at least a little because of them.

3.  You are a very caring and sweet person, so I am glad to report that your parents lack of affection did not seem to have a lasting impact on your life.   Was it at all strange to re-enact childhood spankings – and did they bring back any memories?

SNOW: It was different, but not strange.  Clare doesn’t resemble my mom—my mom isn’t hot like Clare.  Had an actress portray my mom AND look like my mom, then that may have been a bit freaky.

4.  CAMERAMAN: You haven’t been to the Shadow Lane convention since then because it conflicts with Burning Man.  Please share you love for Burning Man and maybe let readers know what it is if you can describe it.

SNOW: I’ve been attending Burning Man since 2003.  BM is an annual festival in the desert that draws about 50,000 for a week.  It’s unique in that no money is exchanged and the community only exists for a week.  It’s a highly complicated system that requires cooperation and radical self-reliance with that many people coexisting in the desert with zero commerce.  People spend the week expressing themselves through art, music, dance, costumes, performance art, whatever.  It culminates with the burning of a gigantic man effigy, hence the name Burning Man.  It was my introduction to “alternative culture” and the concept of “let your freak flag wave.”  It was incredibly liberating to meet like-minded people.

5.  CAMERAMAN: Shooting Spanking scenes typically involves lots of improv.  Do you have any thoughts you can share on your improv process, how your prepare for doing spanking shoots, and any anecdotes about some of the crazier characters you were asked to create for spanking scenes?

SNOW: Improv comes naturally to me.  I pretend I’m a little kid playing and imagine all the possibilities the scene can hold.  I try to throw in unexpected ideas…like the time I wore bunny slippers for a scene, to make light of things.  I think one of my crazier characters got very sloppy drunk.  I tried to pretend I was a freshman sorority girl to tap into that character.

 

6.  CAMERAMAN:  I loved it when you introduced bunny slippers with your very atypical character for My Spanking Roommate.  That character really taps into your comedic gifts which can  be very different than some of your stern characters, such as moms and teacher roles.  Speaking of teacher’s role, you have been featured as the teacher for the Exclusive Education series on Girl Spanks Girl twice now (EE3 and EE6 – and soon to include EE7).  What are your thoughts about playing that character and spanking up to ten schoolgirls all day long? 

SNOW: I’m a teacher in real life so I know exactly how to interact with students.  Art imitating life—this is what happens when we shoot where I am the teacher.  So I take on that role naturally.  However, I never spank my real life students so this is where acting has to take over.  I look forward to the variety of personalities, bottoms, and challenges 10 schoolgirls offer.    It should be good fun!

7.  CAMERAMAN:  You will be shooting as the teacher again this year for Exclusive Education 7.  Do you do anything physically to prepare for that much continuous spanking? 

SNOW: I keep my spanking arm strong by working out 3-5 times a week.  I also do a lot of spanking at the dungeon to keep my arm muscles fit.  I notice if I fail to work out nor do sessions at the dungeon, I can’t keep up with spanking.

8. CAMERAMAN:  Is it a challenge physically and/or mentally? 

SNOW: No, it all seems like play.

 

9.  CAMERAMAN:  Are there any ladies you spanked for that series that stand out – or do the butts just begin to run together? 

SNOW: I loved spanking Sophia Locke (EE6).  That was a treat.  I guess I’m biased, though, because she’s my friend.  I was nervous about spanking Mandee Miller (EE6)….I didn’t want Lana to kick my ass if I did it wrong. 

SNOW CONTINUED: Julie Night (EE6) was so stoic, so quiet, her tan line so reminiscent of easier days when we didn’t worry about skin cancer and global warming….I wanted to take her home and keep her as a pet. Ashli Orion (EE3) is so funny that it’s hard to keep a straight face around her.  She’s a riot!

10.  CAMERAMAN:  You are a pro domme at the Dominion.  Has a female ever come in for a session? 

SNOW: I’ve never had a single female come in, but I’ve had a few male-female couples.

11. CAMERAMAN:  How many times have you heard the word “mercy” (and I don’t mean someone using your name) in your line of work? 

SNOW: I don’t hear it often.  I try to gauge things so the safe word doesn’t get used.

12. CAMERAMAN:  When you do hear “mercy” does that mean you are doing a good job or getting a little carried away?

SNOW: I usually hear “mercy” when the person wasn’t truthful about their tolerance or there was miscommunication.  I hear “mercy” more from people I’m just getting to know. I don’t push people so far that they use their safe word…I prefer to keep it at the edge.

13.  CAMERAMAN:  You have worked with Clare Fonda more than most.  Can you share any thoughts on what it was like working with her?

SNOW:  I love working with Clare.  She’s so down-to-earth, friendly, funny, beautiful, kind…it’s hardly working.  We’re also friends in real life so working with her is like hanging out.

14.  CAMERAMAN You are taking over for Clare as the main madam on Spanked Call Girls.  What do you think of this role?  Fun?  Crazy?  What do you tap into to create this character?

SNOW: Taking over Clare’s main madam role is a huge honor that I don’t take lightly.  I’m sure her fans will miss her and I won’t attempt to be another Clare Fonda…there’s only one!  Instead I will bring to the table my own interpretation of the madam role.  As a madam I will be composed, strict, and even tempered.  For some reason the old TV show “Facts of Life” comes to mind where I take on the role of Mrs. Garrett (nurturing caretaker) mixed in with Betty Paige and Silvano Mangano elements.

15.  CAMERAMAN:  Finally, I have listened to your music and have seen you perform live.  I am a fan.  But I enjoy your live performances more because you are so interactive with the audience, even moving throughout the crowd and working the audience into your performance.  Can you comment on your performances, who you perform with the most and how and where fans can see you perform live?

SNOW:  I’ve been doing live performance since I was a kid, and I love being on stage.  I don’t get stage fright.  Instead, it energizes me.  I see how the audience responds and I react to them, and they do the same back.  It’s rather fun!

In the past I’ve done mostly skits, BDSM performances, runway modeling.  I just started getting into performing live music as a vocalist.  “I make noise,” is how I describe what I do.

I’ve been performing a lot lately with legendary music producer Kim Fowley.  He has an impressive list of music accomplishments, and he is beyond gifted.  We have a backing band at our performances, a loose structure, and the rest is improv.  We sing about the venue, the city we are in, the audience members, whatever comes to mind.  It’s very low-brow and silly, and we sing about sex, violence, offensive topics.  We just returned from a two-week European tour in April 2012 which was a success.  We have been be seen in Los Angeles at various venues, and we have been invited to tour Europe again this November.  They seemed to have loved us in Europe I would say most of my music fans are in France and Germany. 

You can check my Facebook page facebook.com/thesnowmercy or my site at snowmercy.com for my performance schedule.  Also you can hear my music as a solo artist at http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/snow-mercy/id517820489, and with Kim at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-in-overdrive/id521040570.  Please support my cross-over music of fetish with rock!

CAMERAMAN:  Thank you, Snow, for an outstanding interview.  As always, you are very honest and willing to discuss all aspects of the scene!

As a teenager, I had this idea that porn stars were somehow different than “normal” people.  They probably never spoke to guys like me.  If they did, they would sound different.  Talk in some oddly strange sexual voice and only talk about sex.  Maybe they walked differntly, only ate long, weird vegetables or bananas.  I don’t know.  I’m not really sure what I thought. 

When I started shooting spanking scenes in the late 1990s, I was told by many spankos that you don’t use “porn” models for spanking shoots.  They don’t mix.  Well I have been shooting many adult models lately for spanking scenes, and I am here to tell you a “behind the curtain” revelation. 

Porn stars are just normal people who talk about normal stuff.  Where they like to buy clothes.  Some guy they have been dating.  What movies they like.  They sound normal.  Their laughs are normal.  They can eat hamburgers and walk like everyone else.

Shay Golden, who was shot recently for Spanked Sweeties, is very much like the cute girl next door.  She even has this shy giggle that you’d hear in some mainstream romantic comedy.  No tatoos.  Athletic build.  If you sat next to her in an airport, you’d think “cute girl.”  Without some cheesey bam chicka bawm bawm music playing, you’d never know she was an adult actress. 

Part of the misconception, in my opinion, is seeing these girls on “porn” sites, with too much make up on, photos touched up so much that the features of their faces are lost and then all models look the same.  

The great thing about the Sweeties site, is that when you hear someone like Shay interviewed, you get to hear how she is so earthy, sweet, funny.  Maybe just like the cute girl who lives next store to you.  Only this one is capable of taking a mega-hard spanking (see photos above – with facial features intact).  So the advice I got so long ago about not shooting adult models for spanking scenes was bad.  Porn stars often are fantastic for spanking shoots.  Shay Golden is on par with any spanking model I have ever filmed.

Many models who sign on for spanking shoots have very specific limitations as to what they will or will not do.  Clare Fonda has a diaper site called naughty diaper girl and not surprisingly, some spanking models won’t shoot for that site. 

Many models will not be spanked by a male (typically because they have a boyfriend).  Some models will spank other females, but not a male.  The great Amber Pixie Wells used to never want to spank anyone, as she was very submissive.  But she has turned into an excellent top. 

Sophia Locke recently turned in her first ever spanking shoot with Clare Fonda.  Currently, she can be seen on Spanked Sweeties.  Sophia did not want to be spanked by a male or spank anyone.  She explained that she is a true submissive and it was not in her nature to spank someone.  But boy can she ever take a spanking.  Snow Mercy plays her mother and spanks Sophia long and hard.  Not many model can match Sophia’s level of taking a spanking. 

So check her out if you enjoy hard otk hand spankings.  And you never know, like Pixie, maybe some day Sophia turns others over her knee and dishes out some hard spankings of her own.

This is a question that is often discussed among Spankos – if you were spanked growing up, does that make you more likely to enjoy spanking play as an adult?  Of course it would be difficult to get the government to fund a study like this, though I’d volunteer to document it if they did. 

Some believe that when children are spanked, a spanko is being created.  Some believe there is no correlation.  The interviews on Spanked Sweeties are enlightining and if you watch enough of them, it could appear as if it does – as most of those interviewed were spanked as children and enjoy spanking now.  But of course Clare Fonda doesn’t interview the millions of people who were most likely spanked as children and do not enjoy spanking of any kind as adults. 

Still, it makes for an interesting discussion.  And Veronica Ricci, the current model appearing on Spanked Sweeties says she does enjoy spanking, though she doesn’t get much of it in her daily life.  I’m sure she’d be surprised to find out how many volunteers there would be to spank her.  Her interview was pretty outstanding.  All in the name of science.

Sometimes it is all about the expectations.  Clare Fonda usually sends me a photo of a model we will be shooting a month ahead of time or so – just to give me a heads up and/or solicit my opinion on her looks.  I’m sure she sent me a picture of Alexis Grace some time in November, but for whatever reason, the photo didn’t register or make a strong or lasting opinion. 

So when Alexis showed up one day in December to film her Spanked Sweeties (which is presently up on the site), I was BLOWN AWAY.  She was tall (nearly 6 feet) and stunning.  With a curvey bottom and a fantastic personality.  Check out Clare’s blog to see how much (a top 10 list) Alexis wowed us.  We filmed Alexis on her 22nd birthday – she even invited us to give her a birthday spanking. 

I look forward to the next time we shoot Alexis and if you love to see amazing looking young ladies getting spanked hard, and talking about her many spanking experiences, you should check out Alexis on Spanked Sweeties.

So Dave over at Cherry Red Report contacted me about showing me some photos that I have taken for Clare Fonda shoots.  They ranged from sort of recently to many years ago.  It was a bit like one of those psychology tests where they show you a strange image and ask to give your first impression. 

So since I’m a little crazy, I found it theraputic – and sort of a kick.  Check it out at Cherry Red to see if I passed the test.

For those of you who have seen how badly Miley Cyrus wants to look like the hot chick (some would say slut), the next best thing to seeing her get spanked for this is to check out Brynn Tyler getting spanked on Spanked Sweeties.  During Brynn’s interview for the site, she talks about how she often received swats for misbehaving.  And Clare Fonda, who really looks like she could be Brynn’s hot mom, delivered one of the short, true reenactment spankings. 

But knowing that viewers would want to watch a longer, harder spanking, Clare (looking a little like Miley’s sexy mom Tish Cyrus) gave Brynn a fantasy spanking – which was very real – and this could EASILY have been what it might be like if Miley Cyrus got spanked.  Brynn was dressed is very short shorts and a loose top (much like the above photos of Miley) – and she was spanked to tears.  Not sobbing, but soft, genuine tears.

And according to her own bio book, Miley was spanked growing up – and even recently by her mom Tish (maybe it went down something like the scene on Spanked Sweeties).  Watch Miley’s interview with Tyra Banks through to the end to hear Miley admit her mom spanks her, while her mom says “I don’t care how old you are.”  Hey, maybe when Miley’s a little older she’ll shoot a Spanked Sweeties for Clare.
