Update: If you’re looking for the spanking scene in Series Two of GOT Chross has posted it here
Burlesque artiste Esme Bianco, who was seen nude in the first episode of the HBO medieval fantasy saga Game of Thrones, has some even more interesting previous acting experience. She once made a classy arthouse spanking video!
In the short 2010 movie by Ruth Hogben, Esme spanks fellow burlesque star Valeria with a variey of implements. You can tell it’s art because it’s in black and white and slow motion…otherwise it would be porn…obviously.
Called ‘Buttocks’ by most websites, the correct title of the film is actually ‘English’. Showstudio.com explains why:
To open the second week of our latest season of fashion film, our fashion body takes a distinctly sexual turn with filmmaker Ruth Hogben’s ‘English’ – a visual quest, it seems, to redefine our contemporary callipygian ideal. In layman’s terms?
Hogben’s film focusses on the buttocks, with the Rubenesque forms of two voluptuous Burlesque artistes her titillating anatomical subjects.
And as for that title, it’s plucked from the fact that flagellation in all its forms was dubbed ‘the English vice’, with many a Victorian pornographic pamphlet to attest to the nation’s latent lust for a lashing. Why wasn’t this outlawed in a time of rampant Protestant puritanism? Outwardly prim and proper aristocrats and judges were too fond of spanking to give up the naughty habit!
There’s nothing latent about Esme Bianco’s lust for a lashing that’s for sure. She also popped up in some photos promoting a designer spanking paddle which were included in this previous Spank Statement.
There were in fact a brace of Brit bots on display in the first episode of Game of Thrones. Petite Emilia Clarke plays the last Targaryen princess, Daenerys, after replacing Tamzin Merchant (who dropped out for unknown reasons). Dany is described as “small of stature and very beautiful. She has silver hair and purple eyes”…. and a very generous- sized bottom!
Emilia Clarke redefining the contemporary callypigian ideal in Game of Thrones
So this week’s poll question is: what does HBO actually stand for?
Before her surprise appointment in GOT, Emilia Clarke was unknown even on this side of the pond. In fact she had only appeared in one previous professional production – a single 2009 episode of the daytime soap Doctors.
If you’re one of Emilia’s many new fans, you can watch clips from her Doctors episode here. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get the same treatment that Tracey Childs received in this show last year.
And no spanking in Game of Thrones either so far although I’ve heard the the book on which it is based DID include a spanking scene.
Update: I’ve found a better picture of Esme Bianco from a later episode.

/ May 15, 2011Mhm I’ve read most of the very complicated “A song of ice and fire” series – which is great, but very complicated. This series is probably based on it. I think I stopped reading after the sixth book. I dont’ remember a spanking scene – which does not necessarily mean there isn’t one (but then, my memory for such things is usually quite good).
Cheers

/ May 15, 2011Could’ve just been a kid that gets spanked (or a dwarf or something!)
If it was Dany, I’m sure you’d have remembered

/ October 10, 2011There’s a “spanking” in the second book, but it’s god-awful. It involves the young Stark girl, Sansa, and she is ruthlessly beaten and then “spanked” with a sword on the backs of her legs and backside until she bled. Not a nice book to read for this kind of material. Plus, thankfully the girls in the show are older than those in the book. Daenerys is like… 13-14 in the book.

/ October 11, 2011Thanks Fruity, actually since I wrote this post I’ve found all the spanking references in Game of Thrones. You’re right that they’re not up to much but on the plus side since spanking is a recurring motif in the book perhaps the second series will reflect that, and hopefully in a more interesting way than any of these book extracts:
CHAPTER FIVE
ARYA page 49
The one with the broken nose still thought it was funny. “You girls put away them rocks and sticks before you get spanked. None of you knows what end of a sword to hold.”
CHAPTER THIRTY
ARYA p251
Arya stood in the shadows of the stairwell and watched him. She crept back down to the cellars without saying a word. When Weese found that she hadn’t asked about the clothes, he yanked down her breeches and caned her.
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
SANSA pg261
When she doubled over, the knight grabbed her hair and drew his sword, and for one hideous instant she was certain he meant to open her throat. As he laid the flat of the blade across her thighs, she thought her legs might break from the force of the blow. Sansa screamed. Tears welled in her eyes. It will be over soon. She soon lost count of the blows.

/ April 25, 2012They have shown the Sansa spanking in the last episode, followed by an abusive spanking scene involving Joffrey and two whores (not in the book this way I think)
