  1. Atlanta 1965 - "Miss Kruger gonna get a whuppin, folks!"

    AKA, naughty Lil' Miss Katie Scarlett O'Hara gotten her fairest botty smacked by mommy in the strict, Southern style!

    Oh my! Oh my! Too true, Belinda !
    Why it's a front cover contender for my memoirs, thank you, kindly.

    I sure remember these fine social scenes in Atlanta'a great parks in the 1960s ha-ha. No kidding! Al fresco spankings and all were common. PC was light years away. Society was like Gone With The Wind ;-)

    Actually, GWTW, was filmed in 1939, twenty years before my birth in 1959. Obviously it gotten set in the Civil War early 1860s, but my own childhood was quite similar in that strict, religious but pinky-cute fashion of deference & polite expectation !

    This drawing is so visceral for myself, Belinda. I gotten to feel that flexible, rattan, switchy-cane across my pudgy, bare botty a whole bunch from an early age at home. That was the punishment. And our Church advocated it!

    Never gotten whipped across a baroque fountain in the park already (sadly! That would be my claim to fame)
    But just tanned across my strict, God-fearing mother's knee or the sofa at home - my pretty dress hoisted, 1950s white, cotton panties pulled down - in the traditional fashion. Ditto for my lil' sister.
    It was normal. Naughty Steps had not yet gotten invented in 1960s Georgia ha-ha. Oh my !!

    I so love the fashionable, flamboyant embellishment of this natural ceremony in the picture (just basic, routine, domestic chastisement) in its artistic but still factual & realistic format. Oh my!
    In its pure essence - it is just normal Belinda!
    Thank you. Wonderful :-)
