Spanking for the naughty ladies of Storyville
August 28th, 2008 | Author: Zille
I did this shoot last year, when all of a sudden, I had a whole lot of models to shoot and had to think of something to do with them (oh, poor me, what a terrible life!) I thought, “Where would you find a bunch of hot women together?” and, my mind being what it is, “A brothel,” was the first thing that came into my mind. That thought was soon followed by remembering the amazing images of the Storyville “ladies of the night” by John Ernest Joseph Bellocq.
Here are two from the series, that I thought you lot would especially enjoy. In this first image, we see a number of naughty girls cheating at their card game (and of course, they are gambling and drinking the demon liquor, to add to spankable offenses, should a gentleman feel so inclined….)
In this next shot, one of the recalcitrants (you may remember she was taking a shot as cover for peeking at her neighbor’s cards) is now being brought to justice. It would seem the gal who was offended against is enjoying the prospect — and her bottom…!

Zille, I’m enjoying the 19th century feel of these pictures. For me these pictures make New Orleans even more fascinating then it is already.
The second picture is so sensual, very suitable for a sporting house or boudoir.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Nicely evocative setting and lighting, Zille. Good to be reminded of “Storyville”.
These are truly beautiful — and very unique!
Love the vintage vibe.
Dave
Paul — thank you! It would have been hard NOT to get sensual images of these lovelies — they were so wonderful to work with!
Sadly, New Orleans is in bad trouble at the moment. I hope everyone makes it out okay!
Hi Karl — happy to remind you of Storyville!
Dave — thank you! Yes, I think vintage spanking stuff is often more erotic than the modern stuff! It just seems kinkier somehow…!
I’m thinking the vintage erotica seems more erotic because at the time it was made, it was more of a departure from the realm of acceptibility than even much more explicit erotica is today. I think the internet has made erotica and porn more mainstream than ever before.
New Orleans has always had a special place in the pantheon of American Cities. Think of Richard Florida’s recent book “Which City are You”?. It was the destination of the Easy Rider road trip. And it’s reputation for “decadence”was such that it was possible for fundamentalist religious types to aver that its recent destruction was God doing another Soddom and Gomorrah trip. And of course New Orleans has long been a hotbed of voodoo cults and jazz music. Or so I’ve heard. Not that “I” think that’s in any way a bad thing.
