Readers,
I first met Cali and Mr. H over three years ago, out in the middle of nowhere desert, to film for a new spanking video production company called The Spanking Court. They were filming at what was, at the time, the coolest spanking location I’d ever seen: several dedicated sets, including judge’s bench, plaintiff/defendant podiums, and even a ‘jail cell’! Not only were the sets great, but the owners, Cali and Mr. H, were just about some of the most friendly and welcoming folks with whom I’d ever worked.
After the first few Spanking Court shoots, they asked if I’d like to become a permanent part of the production – and invited my honey to do the same. We ended up becoming the Court Disciplinarian and Bailiff for the entire run of Spanking Court, doling out spankings to dozens of ladies (and a few men) who ran afoul of Judge Spanks.
Eventually, we moved to the Hollywood Production Studios in Los Angeles, before finally ending up in an enormous custom-built, multi-set space in Northern California – trust me, you’ve never seen anything like the creativity and time that went into this place…amazing. One thing that always stayed the same was the level of work put into this endeavor by our friends and their genuine kindness to anyone with whom they worked.
We had the great good fortune of working with some of the nicest, most professional, and FUN people during our shoots, including the unforgettable Erica Scott, Christy Cutie, Ten Amorette, Cheyenne Jewel, Casey Calvert, and our very own VBB and WW, to name just a few.
Eventually, Cali and Mr. H also created Sternwood Academy – an all-girl’s academy which focused on education, manners, and lots and LOTS of spankings. Again, there were many beautiful and talented participants, top and bottom, and they ended up producing three full-length DVD releases of Sternwood Academy.
A couple months ago, we received a call from our wonderful friends informing us that their vanilla business had taken off like a rocket – great news for them, sad news for the spanking video world – and that there just wasn’t enough time in their current schedule to continue producing spanking content. While we were naturally thrilled for them and their success, we are more than a little sad to see SC and Sternwood come to an end, and will miss the amazing times we had with everyone involved.
Sincerest thanks and enormous love to Cali and Mr. H, and to all the fabulous folks who participated and watched…we had a blast!

It’s a shame. I loved Sternwood Academy.
anty,
We did too, and we’ll hope that someday in the future we’ll see the return of SC and Sternwood.
Shooting for Spanking Court, and working with such a fun and professional cast and crew, was a joy. It’s times like these that I’m glad I keep a detailed blog, because I get to preserve and revisit the memories.
They will be missed! Best wishes always to our friends Cali and H.
Erica,
We’re so grateful that we had the chance to work with you for Spanking Court, and you were definitely a viewer (and cast) favorite, as you know. Let’s hope that we have a Spanking Court Reunion one day…
The set was very authentic looking and from what I’ve seen of the clips, the staff took their work VERY seriously. Poor, poor Erica! :)
Alexis,
We had a great time and doled out a few real doozys on those spanking benches. I’m happy for the memories.
Spanking Court was a fabulous idea, a simple story line with lots and lots of great spanking action. I loved watching SC and will greatly miss the Court. The first time I watched SC I knew I wanted to be on an episode. I just knew how much fun it would be to do a shoot. I figured it would just be a fantasy that would never come true. My dream became a reality when Dana introduced me to Ms Cali via Email, she was so kind and friendly that I immediately felt at ease. We started discussing different shoots we could do. We finally decided that TheVBB should take Ms. Dana and the WW to court for mistreating him, It was an open and shut case that some how Dana was able to turned it against me and I ended up getting punished.
From the time we first met Cali and Mr H we were greeted as friends and made to feel as though we had known them for years. Their hospitality, warmth, friendliness and professionalism makes them an outstanding couple who we were fortunate to have had the privilege of knowing. It turned out that Mr. H and I had actually crossed paths a few years earlier on our world travels. That short connection made our visit with them at SC even more special. Before we left, they presented me with a paddle called the Major Pain which I count as one of my favorite paddles. I was hoping to get in another session with SC, as I still have some charges to bring against Dana and the WW. If they ever decided to shoot some more SC I will be first in line to bring a case.
The WW asked me one time what was the hardest spanking I ever received from Dana, without hesitation I told her the spankings she gave me at Spanking Court. Of all the times I have played with Dana there was only one time I really did not want to be spanked by her and that was the last spanking scene we shot at SC. It was and still is the hardest and most painful spanking I have ever received in my Spanko life. The talents of Ms. Dana Kane as the Court Bailiff was remarkable, there are only a few times I’ve been really scared of Dana. Like the first and last time I ever rolled my eyes at Her (a very unwise thing to do) and the time I taunted her at SC, which both ended up with very unpleasant results. Thanks Cali, Mr H, the Judge, Court Bailiff and the Court disciplinarian for making some really great spanking videos for us to enjoy. BTW Dana, I still have the Major Pain paddle if you want to reenact a scene from SC next time we get together, that is if you are up to it.
VBB,
I’d love to take another whack at you with that Major Pain paddle!
We had some great times together on set, and I’m just grateful that we all have the film to prove it.
oxxo
Sad to see them go, for a number of reasons. What a high-end production company that truly made some fabulous content. I very much respect the level of thoughtfulness that went into these scenes and the dedication of the participants. A rare occassion I’d be seduced into watching a M/f scene, which usually I can’t get into. But everything was so perfect, how could you not? Naturally you were fabulous, Dana and everyone was really. Can’t single anybody out for complete awesomeness since everyone was equally fantastic in their roles. I regret not taking the opportunity to do Sternwood – maybe something similar will come along?
Well, Dana – what are we supposed to do now? You must know that The VBB and I were going to take you and WW to SC for some issues we have yet to be resolved – because the judge was so impartial and all. I’m surprised the VBB hasn’t said they shut down just because they were scared of him returning and winning a case… I still think he’s going to say it ;)
Hopefully we can still all get together and for a visit since I keep hearing WW can’t wait to meet me. On my end, however, I don’t think any Major Pain paddle is necessary. Something with feathers and fur perhaps as a reward for us for… for… well, … Umm… I’ll get back to you. Brain freeze.
Farewell, Spanking Court & Sternwood. It was AMAZING while it lasted. Thanks for the memories, and – downloadable – videos! ;)

Angel,
Yes, it was amazing. And it’ll be a shame if we don’t all get to meet up at SC one day. I’m still hoping for a Reunion!
