Uniform Special – Maids

The classic black and white French maid costume takes some beating. It’s similar to that of a waitress, but usually shorter, and more frilly and lacy. In other words, more sexy and provocative.

It’s also worn in a different context, and comes trailing a whole host of exciting spanking scenarios along with it.

This uniform is most commonly associated with the setting of the grand country house. Such places are full of dust, and when the maid isn’t bending over to clean, you’ll usually find her at the top of a ladder. Either way, the Lord of the Manor can sit back and enjoy the view.

When it comes to finding reasons to discipline a maid, you don’t have to try too hard. French maids and light corporal punishment are natural bedfellows.

Evidence of this is provided by the fact that there is a novel entitled Spanking the Maid written by Robert Coover. It’s not even porn, but a serious examination of the abuse of power in relationships. But let’s just enjoy the cover, and that title:

Not Porn

The theme hasn’t escaped the attention of spanking video producers either. This is the cover inlay of a classic Spanking for Pleasure production with a Robert Coover inspired title (click to enlarge).

Porn

This picture shows Cuban-American actress Joanne Garcia as Reba’s oldest daughter in the sitcom Reba. No spanking in this, but what a superb demonstration of the allure of the maid costume.

So how do you like your French maids to find themselves being punished? This chalk drawing by Brian Tarsis comes from the more formal end of the spectrum.

The house guests are all assembled for drinks, which the unfortunate maid has spilt all over the floor. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she has ruined her mistress’ dress in the process. Check the lady’s satisfied expression as the maid receives her just deserts…on the bare bottom…with a strap. The man doing the spanking is the butler.

You can usually guarantee that if the master or mistress of the house doesn’t get to spank the maid, then the butler will.

That’s exactly what happens in the film Keep it Up Downstairs (1976). This clip shows butler Neil Hallett spanking French maid Francoise Pascal. The spanking is rather weak and ineffectual, but it’s still a hot scene thanks to the costume, and a nice pair of white bloomers.

I also found this great picture of Francoise Pascal apparently ready to receive a dose of something more severe from His Lordship,

…perhaps for the offence of sweeping dust under the carpet:

Talking of failing to dust properly, what about these two lazy young maids? They’ve been instructed to spend the morning on their chores, but have hardly put their back into it. (click for much larger image)

When the Lady of the Manor comes to inspect their work they know they’re in deep trouble. Just look at the rabbit-caught-in-headlights expression of the one on the right, and the sorrowful doe-eyes of her flame-haired companion.

The mistress runs her finger over the table to check for dust…and discovers what a slip-shod job the pair have done.

“You two! Go straight to the library, and wait for me there!” she barks.

Uniform Special – Waitresses

We all love a uniform, and when it’s worn for a service job, enticing possibilities are raised in the mind of the dedicated spanker. A waitress in a tight black skirt with crisp white apron, bending over to reveal a rounded bottom is a sight as delicious as any meal that you could ever wish to be served. In recent years, Gordon Ramsey has made bullying restaurant managers fashionable, and someone in that mould would make a fearsome spanker for a waitress who spilt the soup, arrived late for work, or was insolent to the head chef.

Let’s begin with two familiar celebrity candidates for such treatment. Kat Dennings is currently playing a waitress in 2 Broke Girls and looks amazing in a mustard uniform with red trim and apron. It’s reminds me more of a 1960s air hostess uniform but that’s no bad thing.

Zooey Deschanel’s waitress moment came in the 2007 mini series Tin Man. She wore a gingham style pinafore for added homespun appeal. Apple pie with cream anyone?

As a kid, I vividly remember reading a newspaper report about the owner of a tea-room who caned the bottoms of his waitresses whenever there was a discrepancy in the cash till. His wife used to witness the 6 stroke canings and the pair were prosecuted together and fined after one girl reported them to the police.

Many thanks to Martyn for sending me the newspaper cutting from the Daily Mail which I haven’t seen since it was first published. It reveals that the canings went on for around 6 months before one girl finally complained only because she was caned twice in a week!

The waitress spanking scenario has been close to my heart ever since. In this candid camera clip from an East European TV show a waitress gets spanked by the manager for spilling food. The customers seem to think it’s real enough!

I had high hopes when a movie came out in 2007 called Waitress. It starred the eminently across-the-knee-worthy Keri Russell. The manager of the diner where she worked had plenty of opportunities, but there was no ‘Candid Camera’ moment to speak of.

The best substitute I can come up with is this chef/waitress spanking picture. It comes from the Shadow Lane stable, and the uniform of the spankee looks identical to that worn by Keri Russell in Waitress. The onlookers are all luminaries of the US spanking scene including our very distinguished contributor Dan (back row, center).

A movie with a waitress spanking scene appeared in 2011. In Australian thriller Crawl, a seedy bar owner exacts his own form of repayment when one of his waitresses, played by Lauren Dillon, defaults on a loan.

Janus regularly featured excellent uniform based photoshoots during the 1980s. Their waitress set uses just a few simple props, but it hit the spot for me because of the pretty model called Cara, her uniform, and the memories it evoked of reading that old newspaper report. See the full, new and updated scans of this Janus Uniform Series here.

Waitress spanking artwork isn’t common but one DC comic strip has a redheaded “spitfire” who works in a canteen being spanked by a WWII fighter pilot in front of a group of laughing colleagues. The scene comes comes from a 1969 edition of Our Army at War and Chicago Spanking Review has the full details here.

I found the picture at the top of this post on CSR too. It’s by fetish artist Bill Ward and shows an otk spanking for a leggy waitress with the diners looking on from their tables in the background. She has earned her punishment by spilling a bowl of spaghetti on a customer’s head! CSR writes:

Many a maid and not a few secretaries got spanked in Bill Ward’s cartoons, but as far as we know only one waitress was subjected to the OTK treatment. Carelessly dumping a bowl of spaghetti on a customer’s head would seem to be adequate justification for the “spankin’-good meal” that the customer serves up in response.

Good OTK positioning, deft execution, and a lovely, well-proportioned spankee make this one of Ward’s best spanking cartoons. Judging from the customer’s appearance and the fact that the waitress does not possess the enormous bosom all of Ward’s women did after a certain point in his career, we’d guess that this cartoon first appeared some time between 1955 and 1962.

Let’s finish by taking a look at some pictures of waitresses from different periods of history. Whilst I like the traditional black and white style uniforms best, retro American diner uniforms are also extremely cute, and the outfits worn in modern day fast food chains are not entirely without their charms.

Top row: Diner waitress pink and black retro 1950s, car hop waitresses 1930s, 1940s traditional waitress.

Second row: short skirt waitress, pin-up waitress panty flash, Hooters waitresses.
