Room 2D

An article by Julie Holmes from Februs 8. For some time now the glossy monthly women’s magazines (you know the ones I mean) have been waging war against an enemy they claim is greater than Attila the Hun, Adolf Hitler and the VAT-man rolled into one. Panic has spread through the ranks of Womankind and fashion victims throughout the land are taking evasive action against the foe, known colloquially as VPL, or ‘Visible Panty line’. Misguided fashion journalists are convincing their readers that a phenomenon that has brought pleasure to generations from World War One onwards is now to be regarded as a bad thing, totally undesirable and, in fact, pretty naff. They actually produce pages of photographs demonstrating undergarments that will be invisible under clothing. Now, it could be that these people are incredibly naive, or that they have some ulterior motive for their actions that I cannot begin to fathom, or maybe they simply ...

From Blushes Supplement 22 Annie’s headlong dash across the quadrangle was caused not by lateness, but by the sudden thunderstorm, which had transformed the rather close and humid morning into a close and wet morning. Her visit to the block on the far side of the property had been longer than she had expected, and she had to return there or face the normal penalty. Grabbing the yellow anorak off the peg just inside the service entrance to the main block, she rushed off on her mission, and managed to get back in plenty of time to complete her tasks. It was still raining as she walked over to the main block again, and she hardly heard the shout with the hood up: ‘Oi, you there lass!’ Turning, she could make out the caretaker trotting towards her. ‘What y’doing with my waterproof, then?’ he demanded. ‘Oh I’m sorry Mr Johnson. I didn’t know it was yours. I thought it belonged to someone else. Sorry.’ ‘Not good enough, l...

From Februs 47,   Roy Tersley interviews Candice Lavelle who also featured in  Double Trouble 1  in Janus 146 and  Tawse and Effect  in Janus 150. Thank you for coming to see me today. I would like to start by knowing a little about your background and upbringing. I was born in North London. My mother was Brazilian, which some people say accounts for my rounded bottom! I went to a state school, I left at sixteen and worked in Boots for two years until I started modelling. What sort of modelling were you doing? I used to have very long hair and I was in a couple of Hair magazines. I did some facial modelling and figure work. I was always being complemented on my bottom and I even did an ad for a shower company in which I had to bare it in public for the first time. It was the photographer on that shoot who suggested I model for  Janus . I think he was only joking but a couple of years later...

An AI-enhanced version of the classic Lucie Martin three-part story The Scarecrow from Whispers 3. Part 1 - “This is a stick up” ‘What’s this?’ demanded Major Hartnall. ‘Whatever is this? I wasn’t aware we had a  scarecrow  in the house.’ Major Hartnall was of course exaggerating but then it did depend on what you were used to and Toby Hartnall, one could say, was one of the old school, a traditional gentleman. The sight therefore of Annabel entering the dining room for breakfast wearing roughly cut denim shorts and a T-shirt several sizes too large for her trim and shapely form was enough to make him see red. Annabel had been warned, by her mother who had herself been explicitly told by her friend Fiona that Major Hartnall was a bit of a stickler about standards. And if Annabel was to stay with him whilst Susan Barkley went off with Fiona on a weekend trip to Paris, well, Annabel had better watch her P’s and Q’s. Ot...
