Monday will mark the 2nd anniversary of the Punished Brats members’ site. So in honor of that achievement, I gave the site a little mini facelift. Nothing too drastic, but I made a few changes in navigation, updated the photos of our models, and added short video clip samples to go along with each update description on the home page. Please note, these clips are only available in WMV for right now as I’m only able to cut Windows clips, not the Real Media version. The revisions are still a work in progress though so hopefully when I have a little more time, I’ll be able to add RM versions as well.
The new structure meant it was time to retire my corner time pic that I’d used on the home page since the very start of Punished Brats. I contemplated trying to fit it somewhere else, but it just didn’t work out. I think it’s a sign that I should not be made to stand in the corner anymore. Ever.
If you take a look at the newly revised home page, you may notice a little note regarding upping our video resolution. Yes, I’m very pleased to announce that all of the content we will be shooting from tomorrow on will be available at 1500 kbps clips (in both Windows and Real Media) when used for updates in the members’ section. This will mean greater clarity and enhanced viewing pleasure, but also markedly increased file size and download speeds. For those of you that prefer zippier download speeds, we will continue to offer the clips at a lower resolution (768 kbps) as well. Since all of the content we have filmed to date has already been edited, updates featuring content from previous shoots will only be available at the 768 kbps resolution. I do try to work in new content as soon as it is edited and available, so we should all be able to enjoy some higher resolution video within the next couple of weeks.
Tomorrow will be our first time back on set for a shoot following Eric’s surgery. I’m very much looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and I’m ready and raring to go. My scripts are printed, my wardrobe is packed, and I’ve tucked ohhhh … eight or so implements to choose from for tomorrow’s scenes. No, they won’t all get used and certainly not all on my bottom! Erica Corvina and Morgan Mae will be joining me in the fun and I really want to see their buns toasted with some toys too. Sorry girls. >:) I should have some preview photos available on Sunday, so keep an eye on the Pixie’s Preview Page.
In non-PB news, my garden is doing extremely well. Thank you to everyone that has written me lately asking how my green babies are doing. I’ve continued to dig new beds and add new flowers thanks in large part to a generous green thumbed neighbor and a few impulse stops at the the local greenhouse. Violas, balloon plants, rhododendron, buttercups, mexican fire grass, two new rose bushes, and lots and lots of irises have found their way into my yard.
My tomato plants are getting quite big and my strawberries have begun to fruit.
Seems like only yesterday they were just seedlings. Sniff!

I especially like news about your garden. They are indeed your green babies.
Congratulations on your newly revised homepage!
Best wishes!

Glad to see your garden is coming along champion, how’s the Gofer ?
Congrats on the new home page , its Brill .
Re the cornertime photo - You belong in the corner as you will probably be back in this weekend after the shoot , with Erica & Morgan for company.
Have Fun Pixie

I agree. Me toooo!
And I am coming up there to raid your garden (instead of your refrigerator)! Tee hee. Mmmm… strawberries….

Wish I had a green thumb but I kill off everything even thos lil easy one two three step herb gardens…btw…Congrats on the Anniverssary! Like the changes.

Great job on the updates page pixie. I do hope we still get Pixie’s Previews vids on a semi-regular basis. It really wouldn’t be the same without those. Best wishes for tomorrow’s shoot. (HUGGS)

Something about that strawberry picture is quite erotic.
June 7th, 2008 - 12:40 am
No dear, There will be corner time for you tomorrow. I loved that pic. It’s been with us since we started.
In all honesty, much thanks to you and Eric for exceeding my wildest dreams in making punished brats what it is. I had one set of plans, a young lady named Pixie changed them. We are so much better for it. Of the three of us, I feel the most unnecessary.

Hi Pix! A slightly early CONGRATULATIONS on two years of running what is, in my opinion, the best spanking movie site on the internet. You set the bar high, and keep raising it. Thank you SO MUCH!!
The preview clips in the Updates section are a really good addition. I’ll miss always being greeted by your cute little bum in the corner, though.
Congrats also on the garden work. May you enjoy the fruits (and vegetables and flowers) of your labors.
Best wishes for a great shoot this weekend!
Jeff
PS: Are you avoiding the rhymes these days? Because I doubt I could resist the temptation to title this entry “Green Thumb Today, Red BUM Tomorrow”!
June 7th, 2008 - 4:12 am
Many happy returns to the team at PB!
I hope your celebrations don’t interrupt today’s spankings too much, though.
I’m looking forward to seeing the higher-res downloads.

Happy to hear about the lovely new upgrades to the site. Congratulations on the site’s 2nd anniversary! How about 2 minutes in the corner to mark this milestone? You see, I am not so sure that taking away your corner time picture and with it any “newly earned” corner time is a good idea. Without the threat of the corner, there is sure to be uncontrollable naughtiness from Y-O-U.

Buttercups!? I am assuming that you have some sort of ornamental type in North America, that I do not know about and it is not the weed kind that I am always trying to get rid of.
I must agree about banning corner time or at least putting a world wide max 5 min hard limit on it.

If you aren’t being whacked Pixie you should be standing in a corner, now, which would you prefer? The same goes for Chloe of course.
June 8th, 2008 - 2:28 am
Dear Pixie,
In regard to the cornertime photo, I think the only meaning you can read into it is that two years in the corner is rather excessive…a shorter time will suffice….

Are you kidding? Of course you need corner time. But you also need lap time (OTK and sitting).
Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations on the anniversary - and I am delighted that Eric BB’s surgery seems to have gone well and that he is able to continue the good work. Pity the corner-time photo had to go - it’s like a well loved logo: but at least David P has promised that even though the photo goes, corner-time doesn’t. I don’t favour loooong periods in the corner - but I remember the utter shame of early schooldays when made to stand in the corner and have everyone look at you. Not being able to see who was looking or their reactions, only guessing, was part of the punishment. So just a few minutes of shame and inner reflection…..
It’s a good was of remembering that the “tan lines” that really count are not those made by the sun, but by a good tanning! (Reflecting on your last entry about tan lines - one of the less happy hings about marekd tan lines is that you have to rememberf the exact size of the garment that you were wearing in the sun and which produced the tan lines - nothing worse that sporting patches of white around the edges of a smaller garment nexct time!

While you were doing something earthy, I was enjoying the delights of spanking at FMS in St. Pete, FL. Was pleased to find Mr. Windsor selling PB videos and I bought several. Thanks for sending him. You Brats need to come down next year, pails and shovels for sand work were included with the party admission price.
Ms. Chloe Elise was on video reruns in Florida for quite some time on Friday.

dani - Thanks! I love my green babies, but not all of them are loving this heat! My poor petunias and pansies are wilting despite regular watering.
Thankfully my tomato plants (or as I refer to them, my boys) are thriving.
C.T. - The groundhog is busy building onto his empire under the woodshed but has so far been leaving my plants alone. If he wants to live in my yard and dine in another, that’s fine with me!
I did end up in the corner in one of my scenes. Wasn’t even written that way … hmph.
Somehow Morgan and Erica managed to escape the corner, but not very sore bottoms.
Chloe - I think we should become the founding members of a movement to ban corner time. >:) And there should be lots of strawberries coming in soon with the heatwave going on!
Spanker - So glad you like the changes! Are you sure you don’t have a little bit of a green thumb? I always killed plants, but seem to have had a bit of luck this time around.
007 - Pixie’s Preview videos only come out when we do a shoot. They are great fun, but they’re a bonus. Hopefully we will be able to offer them again on a regular basis because that will mean that Eric is feeling well and we are able to continue shooting regularly.
Southern Expat - Tsk! Are you eroticising my little green babies?
David - Yesterday’s shoot was great. And although you constantly put yourself down, I think PB is successful due to the culmination of all of our efforts.
Jeff - Thank you! Glad you like the changes and additions. I really did try to see if there was a way to incorporate the corner time pic, but I figure there’s plenty of my bottom elsewhere on the site.
And no, I wasn’t purposely trying to avoid rhyming. Actually, I was in a hurry to finish up my post and didn’t even give the title that much thought. Wish I’d thought of “bum”.
Steve (uk) - Saturday’s shoot was our usual mix of fun and business. Lots of good stuff. Can’t wait to share it.
2Good - 2 minutes in the corner? That would feel like an eternity to me. That’s no way to celebrate 2 years of spanking fun! I’m definitely going to have to send you a “care” package of more salty licorice.
Prefectdt - I’m not 100% sure what type they are. My mega green thumbed neighbors gave me the flowers and they are definitely not weeds. They are just getting buds now. When they blossom, I’ll post a pic.
And I’m voting for banning corner time over 10 seconds.
That’s my personal limit. Poor Clare. I messed up a scene when I shot with her by turning around from corner time too early. It seemed like an eternity to me, but apparently it was only a few seconds.
Kevin - Whack me please. And whack Chloe too for good measure. >:)
Dr. Ken - Yes, a much shorter time. Like zero minutes. Heheheh.
Marcus - Oh no. I need bubble gum. I need diet coke. I need sunshine. And I need to fill every available corner with lots of clutter so that I can’t possibly stand in one.
Winchester - The shoot was fantastic and Eric is amazing. Despite still being very much in the early recovery stages, he not only made it seem as if everything was business as usual on set, but he also got through a monumental amount of editing in just one day.
Yes, double or undefined tan lines are undesirable. When shopping for a new suit, I try it on not only to check the fit but to make sure it lines up with my tan. Funny the things we fuss about!
Brad - Glad you had such a good time at FMS. Really wish we could have made it, but it just wasn’t possible given what we had going on here at the time. I believe it is our plan to attend next year though!
