The Finishing School

A video starring Leia-Ann Woods where I think she and her partner have been inspired by the wonderful early Blushes tale April.

Review from spankingfilmreview.com:

Claire, a tender and innocent-appearing schoolgirl, sits in a don’s office, working on her notebook, but wearing just a blouse, tie, and white panties. She is in the midst of a punishment session. The don steps out to take a phone call and Claire sneaks a piece of candy. He returns and she stands and pulls her panties down, a requirement when she wishes to speak or is spoken to. We remember this is a procedure in an old Roué film, and modernized by Girls Boarding School, and while it may not appear in the school policy manual, it would seem to focus young minds. She is cleanly shaved.

The don has taken a call from her guardian; she is sent to speak to him, her panties remaining at her thighs. She seems unconcerned about running into other people. When she returns, waddling with the panties still at her thighs, since she has been acting like a 12-year-old, ‘I see no option but to punish you like a 12-year-old.’ She bends over a wing chair, her white silk panties stretched elegantly, and there follows a long, slow moderate handspanking on her bottom and thighs. The don spreads her buttocks to strike between the cheeks. Some probing fondles suggest Claire may not be unfamiliar with this punishment.

Then the tawse: ‘You know how much you hate the tawse.’ About 25 strokes — Claire’s bottom is blotched with patterns from the hand, strap, and tawse. Another slow fondle. The don determines her bottom is now the ‘perfect temperature for the cane,’ in fact ‘your second caning of the week.’ 15 moderate but effective strokes.

Fade to that evening. Claire holds a phone, talking to her guardian, her pants in the required position. The don is fingering her vagina in closeup as she talks, and she is quite composed about it all. The guardian agrees on the phone — she is to be both strapped and caned, on top of what has already happened.

She is sent to the inner office and told to touch toes and wait. Can enough be said about this posture? The don starts with the strap, about 35 crackers. She is going to ‘end the day with a red sore striped bottom.’ This actress has just enough gap between her thighs to provide a vision of her charms, which seem of significant interest to the don. The don traces her labia with a fingertip; she shivers and becomes aroused as we watch. She finally receives 12 more strokes with the cane. Her bottom has recorded every event.

Our don-devil puts Claire’s nose to the wall, pants down, textbook balanced on her head, legs spread, for an hour to contemplate, but first a slow gentle frig. Back to his newspapers.

  1. Quite a bit of the original and wonderful April story is followed. That's to be commended although 'April' is a shy innocent thing in contrast to the Claire of this video. The punishments here are prolonged and quite hard which is good - they are played out in full whereas the April story is more about the other things happening between the strap and cane. There is a bit of nice fingering. But, oh dear, the tutor is woeful, his dialogue abysmal, an incessant monologue throughout the punishments that virtually ruins it for me. April's tutor's restrained manner and his most obvious enjoyment in punishing his pupil are nowhere to be seen. Leia-Ann Woods is fairly wooden in her lines, but she is really only there to have her bottom punished. There are periods when her reaction to the cane and strap is perfect, just how I imagine April to be gasping out desperate little cries. Overall not bad but a missed opportunity in my opinion.

  2. Leia-Ann Woods looked the part at this stage in her career, and her reactions to her punishments are pleasing. The real excitement of this post, however, is that it invites a re-read of the 'April' story. It would have taken a 'Blushes' video to truly suggest the spirit of that 'Blushes' tale.

  3. Though I enjoyed it enough in its own right, I do not think the film was a very good film version of the April story. For one thing, the disciplinarian was too young and not really how I would imagine Basil who, in my imagination at least, is a much older and more avuncular type. I say avuncular but, in reality, the genial manner should fool no one as he is the classic steel fist in the velvet glove, his firm resolve in dealing with girls only stiffened by any tears or protests on their part and, of course, that's not all that's stiffened! Yes, the girl in question could have done with being a great deal prettier and much more shy and innocent seeming, as has been pointed out. This is where the written word and the reader's imagination does really win out over live action. I cannot imagine that young women prepared to 'suffer for their art' in the way Miss Woods does here are easily come by, especially if one is looking for a match close to one's fantasies. Having said that I really must applaud Miss Woods for her stoic performance, a nice balance between forbearance and anguished gasps and tears being achieved here. The overall atmosphere of severity and cold austerity was quite pleasing also if, again, not entirely in keeping with the nuances of the 'April' story. Still, it certainly provided a nice antidote to the scenes of young womanhood running riot in our town and city streets of a weekend evening. Some nice 'finger action' also, hinting at certain 'other' pleasures which may be on the menu. A trip down to Basil's cellar perhaps? I think that's what happens in the story. A minor quibble perhaps but one that I found distracting - had 'Claire' stolen the offending sweet or had she merely brought the 'contraband' into the room? At one moment the disciplinarian was accusing her of the former and the next of the latter (I actually think the latter was the case). I mean, get it right, such jarring inconsistencies in the narrative matter.

    1. Yes, the live action never seems to meet the standard of one's imagination although I'm surprised at how far away most videos are. Surely some of the creators were Blushes afficionados? To put it in a nutshell: one of the actors was too old and one too young. I shall leave it up to others to decide which was which.

    2. AI, I suppose, has the potential to create film versions of, for instance, Blushes stories in which the disciplinarians and their young lady charges and indeed everything about them is as close to that which is depicted in the written word as possible. The only downside I suppose is the knowledge that, however lifelike it looks, you are watching something that is essentially an animation and not real.

    3. I'll keep my list to photo spread models only. However, before I do that I will make special mention of the doe-eyed young innocent who played Lucy Palmer in Room 2D and Carol Ellis in First Week of Term. Surely the greatest and most authentic looking 'English schoolgirl' model to ever appear in spanking movies, and what movies they were, two of my absolute favourites.

      I'm a Blushes man through and through. Janus obviously had the most polished product and, in an objective sense, the prettier girls but they always seemed just models to me. There's something more real about the Blushes girls, something much more believable and softly vulnerable about them (even if, in reality, they are just 'models' too). I also prefer, at their best, Blushes' stories to the Janus ones, the former having just that bit more of an edge to them. Some of my choices are not due to regarding the girl in question as strikingly pretty but just because the photo spreads they appear in are so good and atmospheric. A particularly good story also tends to elevate the accompanying photos.

      In no particular order:

    4. If there are enough nominations I might run a knock out competition to democratically decide a winner (some of you may have seen something similar with Janus models before). Keep them coming.

  5. I know I'm going over my 10 and into 12 here but how could I forget these two delightful, shy, young nurseys and the fabulous photo sets in which they appeared?

    Nurse Teresa Taylor in St Probyn's Penitentiary https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2024/05/st-probyns-penitentiary.html

    1. There are some great photos of Nurse Taylor, or should I say 'Probationer' Taylor, continuing here in this 'Join the Dots' feature:

  6. There's lots of overlap between my list and others', but here we go... CC

    'The Price!' The same model as Joanna in 'Girl Training 1998'. She's a sorry-for-herself, big-boobed, big-bum brunette, with prominent lips which she might be persuaded to put to good use if deceived into thinking that she can negotiate fewer strokes of the cane. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-price.html?m=1

    The model in 'A Gentleman's Employ'. This is Pam, of 'Video Lessons'. I summed up her photoset's appeal for me in a comment at the time: "It's the pairing of this cute, submissive model with a middle-aged, domestic roue in cardigan, shirt and tie which charges this up":- Blushes'-style domestic discipline at its most stimulating and heady!
    https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2024/06/in-gentlemans-employ-1.html?m=1

    Emma in 'Dealing With Emma'. There's an enthralling authenticity about the look of this celebrated minx. She's a girl who'd end up over the desk in innumerable Senior detentions. The power of the photoset is in how she's ideally positioned for both the stick... and the stick. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2023/08/dealing-with-emma.html?m=1

    Susan in 'The Hiker's Friend'. The same model as Alison in 'Public Relations Work'. She looks the part as a Girl Guide in this excellent story about earning badges on a camping trip. She's close to being the quintessential 'Blushes' girl. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-hikers-friend.html?m=1

    Emma in 'Emma On A Highnote'. This choirgirl photoset was a major inspiration for my two-part story, 'The Belles of St Marks'. 'Emma' appears elsewhere as various schoolgirls, and in a bedroom photoset where she's awaiting punishment with her head peeping over the bedclothes. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2024/04/emma-on-high-note.html?m=1

  7. Continued -CC

    Christine in 'Who Caned Christine?' The same model as Eileen in 'The Loft'. I 'cast' her in my 'Original Spanking Art - The Boiler Room', sourcing for the collage yet another photoset where she's groped as well as spanked. This model always has a terrific 'rabbit-caught-in-the headlights' look of fearfulness about her. She makes us believe that she really feels it when humiliated and dealt with. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2023/09/who-caned-christine.html?m=1

    Mandy Ross on 'Night Duty'. Let's put this scrumptious nurse to work on a shift in a ward of lecherous elderly patients who have a shared 'Blushes' bent, and a 'Carry On...' mindset but without the sense of humour. 'Mandy' also appears in a photoset as a schoolgirl who hates an excruciating caning by the same bespectacled, gnome-like chap, one of 'Blushes' stalwarts. I think she only appeared twice, and our lucky hero got to deal with her both times. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2024/08/night-duty.html

    The shorter of the two brunettes in 'After The Match'. I love her thrusting titties in her gym vest, and her pretty face contorted in agony as she takes her turn for the cane. This photoset is accompanied by an arousing story about an absent-minded Headmaster who ends up in the Senior Girls' Changing Room while on the lookout for bottoms to thrash. I'd give an honorouble mention to the blonde who's part of this 'After The Match' trio of girls, and who gets some well-deserved solo treatment in 'Still Waters'. But my nominee, the shorter brunette, appears as a schoolgirl in another arousing story somewhere else - the reference escapes me. It's about a sadistic young female teacher whose craving to slipper the girl has to be moderated by a bemused and aroused Headmaster. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2023/01/after-match.html?m=1

    The model in 'Social Climber'. She has a pleasant, girl-next-door face, with an exciting look of wariness about her, as seen in the fourth, fifth and sixth images of the 'Social Climber' post. She's the type who'd struggle in a most intimate manner during over-the-knee spankings, judging by the way the crook of her arm locks around the gentleman's knee in the ninth image. She's paired with the same chap for her second scene in the 'Half-Term Punishments' video, where's she's her natural brunette self and wearing a brief nightie during his visit to her bedroom. In live action, it's clear that her look of girlish apprehension is part of an age-play performance, and that she's very noisy when spanked. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2025/03/social-climber.html?m=1https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2025/03/social-climber.html?m=1

    Marion in 'Lessons From A Gentleman'. It was a real challenge to limit my list to ten. But there's something about Marion that deserves a place in my line-up, despite there being several other, arguably prettier girls from the pages of 'Blushes' that it vexes me to leave out. Several of those girls appear in others' lists. I love Marion's submissive pose in her nightie and hair bow as she awaits a slippering, and her pixie-face profile when suffering over the knee of the thick-set, middle-aged man with a powerful arm. A wonderful domestic discipline entry. https://room2dspanking.blogspot.com/2024/04/lessons-from-gentleman.html?m=1
