Update

I've been ignoring this blog lately because I suffered a stroke at the end of summer.  My recovery is going well and I expect to resume posting sometime in the next few weeks.  Till then I appreciate your patience.

Elena and Yvonne

I received the following comment on my review of the Red Stripe movie ‘Loyal Employees’ (posted July 12, 2023):

The girl playing Emily is called Amanda and she is not the girl in Not in Front of Her - that is a girl who went by the name Stephanie. Amanda appeared in a few other Red Stripe videos - notably Sister Act and Sister Act 2 with her real life sister. She also appeared in a few Moonglow videos.

Thank you to my anonymous reader for sending that information but I did want to respond.  First, with regard to “she is not the girl in Not in Front of Her - that is a girl who went by the name Stephanie”, I have to partially disagree with my reader about that.  ‘Not in Front of Her’ is an early Red Stripe school girl movie that is set in their St. Stripes Academy for Girls.  Like so many of the St. Stripes movies, it features a cast of 3 women: Miss Brown (aka Mistress Precious) plays the teacher, Steph plays the head girl named Phillipa and, according to the spankingartwiki, Yvonne plays another student named Joanne.

Spankmodels.com gives the following information for ‘Not in Front of Her’:

Spankmodels.com also gives the following credits for Unknown_0165Rs (who the Spanking Art Wiki identifies as Yvonne).

The spankingartwiki also identifies one of the inmates in ‘Doing Hard Time’ as Yvonne so I think I can conclude that Unknown_0165Rs is Yvonne.  The comment identifies the woman playing Emily as Amanda and says that “she also appeared in a few Moonglow videos”.  The Moonglow Girls Directory does have an entry for an 'Amanda' but it is clearly not the same woman who played Emily.  It also has and entry for Yvonne; it gives another name for her, Tina Jones, and it also lists eight credits for her.  The three pictures below are Unknown_0165Rs from spankmodels.com, Yvonne from the Moonglow Girls Directory and Emily from ‘Loyal Employees’.

Based on this, I think I can safely conclude that the second maid (Emily) in ‘Loyal Employees’ is played by Yvonne.  

The second part of the comment says “Amanda appeared in a few other Red Stripe videos - notably Sister Act and Sister Act 2 with her real life sister”.  Spankmodels.com has listings for both Sister Act and Sister Act II:

The listing for Sister Act II adds Sue Ellis to the cast list.  If my reader is correct then Elena and Unknown_0179Rs are sisters.  There is also another question, are Unknown_0165Rs (Yvonne) and Unknown_0179Rs the same person.  Below are pictures of Emily from ‘Loyal Employees’, Unknown_0179Rs from spankmodels.com, Yvonne (aka Tina Jones) from the Moonglow Girls Directory and Unknown_0165Rs from spankmodels.com.  Are these pictures of the same woman?  I think its possible but I’m not willing to make a definite conclusion.

 

Spankmodels.com lists two aliases for Elena: Allana and Eleanor.  It also lists 17 credits for her:

Six of the credits listed for Elena are Moonglow movies.  The Moonglow Girls Directory doesn’t have a listing for Elena but I searched the directory and I found one listing that included all six of the Moonglow credits given for Elena, and it is a listing for Alana, one of Elena’s aliases:

There certainly is a resemblance between the pictures fort Elena and Alana given in the two entries so I think it is likely that they are the same woman.  But, is Amanda another alias for either Elena or Yvonne and are Elena/Alana and Yvonne/Tina sisters?  I would love to hear from you if you can shed any light on these questions.

Loyal Employees

 

‘Loyal Employees’ is a late Red Stripe movie (catalogue no. RS-170) that was released early in 2001.  It is 42-minutes long.  It is currently available from the Red Stripe on www.roue.com and from CalStar Direct sites like www.hotmovies.com.

The movie features a cast of 3 women.  Lady Annabel is played by Mel Penny who also appeared in ‘Its So Embarrassing‘ and the ‘Just Another Day at St. Stripes’ trilogy for Red Stripe, ‘Apron Stings’ for Smart Associates (Gaslight) and movies for Moonglow (2), Strictly English, Spanking for Pleasure and Top Marks.  The British Girls Adult Film Directory (bgafd.com) lists a total of 19 film credits for her including five spanking movies for Red Stripe (2), Moonglow, Spanking for Pleasure and Smart Associates.  The maid Chloe is played by Catherine Corbett (aka Emily Middleton) who appeared in ten movies for Red Stripe along with movies for Moonglow (2), Strictly English (2), Spanking for Pleasure and Top Marks.  She also made video clips for Spanking On-line and Firm Hand Spanking.  I haven’t been able to identify the woman who plays the second maid (Emily) but spankmodels.com indicates that she also appeared in two other Red Stripe movies: ‘Doing Hard Time’ and ‘Not in Front of Her’.  ‘Loyal Employees’ could be a prequel to the later Smart Films movie ‘Apron Stings’ which features both Lady Annabel and Chloe in the same house. 

The movie opens with Lady Annabel in bed (although the clock in the kitchen reads 2:35) and Emily working in the kitchen.  Emily takes a cup of tea to the bedroom and wakes Lady Annabel.  The problems begin immediately.  Emily has made Breakfast Tea while Lady Annabel expects Earl Gray, even worse it is only lukewarm.  Emily is over Lady Annabel’s knee barely 2 minutes into the movie.  The spanking lasts a little over 4 minutes and it is filmed from several different angels but Emily’s face is never seen.  Afterward Emily is sent off to make a decent cup of tea and she is told to send Chloe to see Lady Annabel.

Chloe is in the kitchen when Emily arrives (the clock now reads 8:30) and she goes to see Lady Annabel who is still angry.  The two discuss a number of mistakes that have happened recently and, after a little conversation, Chloe is also across Lady Annabel’s knee.  Chloe’s spanking is much the same as Emily’s; too much the same actually.  The only difference is an offscreen noise that sounds like someone dropped something.  This spanking lasts a little less than 4 minutes and, once again, the opportunity for a facial view is missed.  Emily is sent off to make sure that breakfast is ready while Lady Annabel gets dressed.  Emily fails to curtsy before she leaves which does nothing to improve Her Ladyship’s mode.

Blackout and then the new scene opens with Lady Annabel at the stables, with a riding crop.  She storms off toward the house screaming for Emily who has failed to tell the stable boy to have a horse ready.  Despite the riding crop, Emily is sent to fetch the ‘red strap’.  Chloe, who has been cleaning the pool, is also summoned.  She comes running but forgets to curtsy on her arrival so Lady Annabel tells her that she will also be receiving the strap when it arrives.  Chloe returns and Lady Annabel has them both bend over the patio wall.  She pulls down their panties, then tells them that they will both receive 24 strokes and she wants them to count.  The strokes seem quite firm and they are delivered at a quick pace.  She gives Emily her first six then she switches to Chloe who earns an extra eight for her insolence.  Lady Annabel switches back and forth between the two maids until the strapping are complete at about the midpoint of the movie.  Emily also earns an extra dozen for rubbing her bottom without permission then the two are told to see her after dinner and sent off.

Another blackout and Lady Annabel is in the sitting room when Chloe and Emily walk in.  She inspects their uniforms and she finds a long list of minor issues which, when added to the rest of the days’ infractions, necessitate a caning.  Lady Annabel tells Emily to bend over the table and Chloe is sent to fetch the cane.  Still photos are obviously being taken, since the flash from the camera is visible, and someone’s foot makes a brief appearance in the corner of the frame (above).  Lady Annabel tells Emily that she will receive 24 strokes of the cane and her caning begins while a rooster crows in the background.  The strokes start out firm but they soon become hard and one is hard enough to draw blood.  After 18 strokes Emily is told to put a cushion from the couch on the coffee table and lie across it for the final 6 strokes but Lady Annabel adds an extra two.  These strokes seem even harder than the earlier ones.

Emily is told to kneel on the couch while Chloe takes her place.  Lady Annabel says that she will only receive 12 and she bends over the table.  After 8 hard strokes Lady Annabel notices that Chloe is wearing one of her watches and that calls for an additional 12 strokes.  The strokes seem very hard and Chloe rubs her bottom at the 24^th stroke without permission.  That leads to an additional 6 strokes.  After the end of her caning, Chloe is sent to kneel on the couch next to Emily.

Mel Penny certainly plays Lady Annabel as a bitch and her cane strokes are very hard, almost too hard for my taste.  By the end of this movie, I wanted to see Lady Annabel get a dose of her own medicine but that never happened.  The technical work is good with only a couple of minor flaws, most of them being the inevitable lighting and sound problems that arise when filming outdoors.  Unfortunately, this movie is both predictable and repetitive.  Everything that happens is exactly what I expected and it is always repeated twice with both maids receiving exactly the same punishments.  A little variety would have helped.  Another problem is that the setups to the three scenes are very perfunctory; this movie doesn’t waste any time getting to the point but I would have liked a little more time with the maids.
