Abel's spanking blog & stories
I discovered a wonderful money-saving technique today, which I feel I must share with other gentlemen whose young ladies are prone to drift into clothes shops.
Haron and I were out strolling. We chanced upon a selection of stylish garments in a sale. She picked out two pairs of trousers to try on… then realised:.
“But I can’t go into a communal changing room like this.”
‘This‘, in case you were wondering, was with a freshly striped backside. Very freshly. Very striped.
So now you know. Whip your girl soundly before heading towards the stores, and your wallet will be as safe as can be.

To all the girls reading this:
Most stores will place a hold on garments for a couple of days. Do be sure to avail yourself of this service.
Boys who stripe – pay!!!!

I’ve never had the realisation that I can’t try on clothes because of a striped backside but I have been halfway to the swimming baths many times before realising that perhaps I’d best wait a few days… and then other times I’ve just twisted and turned to only show my front to fellow swimmers in the changing rooms and made sure I splashed a lot in the pool so no stripes could be seen… at least that’s what I hope happened!

Or carrying on from Rob’s ‘boys who stripe- pay’ idea… I hear Gucci has some very nice, private, dressing rooms.

Quite. Abel, *expensive* shops do *not* have communal changing rooms. So as long as Haron is taking you to the right places, there shouldn’t be any problems!

Then, of course, there are the closet exhibitionist shoppers/gym users who, having been freshly welted, are secretly hoping that one of the other women in the changing area *does* notice their stripes, and *does* offer exclamations of horror/sympathy/jealousy and ask for an explanation, so that she can calmly give them one
Explanation I mean. Still waiting for this to happen sadly, despite showing off some pretty lurid stripes in my time!
Anyway Abel, I’m surprised to hear you trying to put girls off shopping after Saturday: they make some…inspirational purchases on occasions
Back home now sadly: thanks again for a lovely weekend

Haron, I would think that it might be a touch uncomfortable to try on sleek fitting trousers with those painful stripes, privacy or not. How to you test them for a good fit by sitting down?
But don’t deprive Abel of the pleasure of buying them for you. Take them home to try on at your leisure, then return or exchange them if necessary.

Look, this post is supposed to be about *saving* money, OK? Here am I, the spanko equivalent of Trinny and Susannah, offering practical clothes-shopping advice… and next thing I know, Haron’s due to be fitted out in all the best boutiques in Mayfair
(But hey, you folks should have seen Martha’s pinafore. A gentleman does have an eye for a bargain, you know. Next: highly recommended to pervs everywhere). (Do you think Next’s management are reading this and might send me some free vouchers?)

Haron can i also suggest internet shopping-don’t even have to leave comfort of your own home…or even catalogues

So you watch Trinny and Susannah too! I love that show. I love how they try a little social work with the couples, encouraging the guy to “tell her who’s boss”, or the woman to wear something more “feminine”. You’re not a consultant are you Abel?

Oooo, Chloe, good idea. I can then whack Haron just as hard as I like…
Rob – ‘consultant’ sounds such a dirty word. ‘Inspiration provider’, I always feel, sounds so much better.

Abel dear, ‘inspiration provide’ on……..

I saw another British show last night to give Trinny and Susannah a run for their money – How to Look Good in the Nude. The guy was really good at picking clothes to transform the girl – really good, but before you get too excited stripes weren’t part of the deal.

I can’t ever remember seeing a communal changing room in US…

Amber: I do. SYMS of White Plains. They had the best bargains but the communal changing rooms were the pits. What’s the name of your new site again?
