Spanking and Tickling 101 - Paper Magazine, August 1999 By Dennis Dermody
Welcome to the glossy, kinky world of Venezuelan born filmmaker Maria Beatty, a fixture of the New York S&M scene who has created a series of slick, arty, bizarre films dedicated to an array of fetishes. Elegantly shot, they will--like most things in this genre-either arouse you (if you’re so inclined) or leave you howling with laughter.
THE ELEGANT SPANKING...Drenched in pearls and roses, Beatty stars as a barely dressed maid whose mistress becomes very vexed with her when she soils her white high heels while slavishly licking them. Time for a spanking! Filmed in black and white, with silent-movie title cards and an eerie score by John Zorn. “Every stroke sends me into a raging storm of desire,” reads one card. (30 min.)
THE BLACK GLOVE...Another black-and-white master-slave scenario accompanied by Zorn’s ghostly design. Beatty is bound to a bed while Mistress Morgana, in a black vinyl bustier and gloves, runs a silver spur across her nipples, slides a steel dildo across her body and drips hot wax on her privates from a black penis-shaped candle. (30 min.)
MISTRESS TARA’S FINISHING SCHOOL (or, The Sassy Schoolgirl)...When headmistress Tara catches sassy schoolgirl Cathy masturbating, it’s time to adhere to the old adage “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Cathy is allowed her choice: hairbrush or paddle. (45 min.)
BOX OF LAUGHTER: DUELING PAGES...Melanie Myle and Marla Belt are fans of 50’s fetish model Betty Page. So they try on different kinky outfits and end up wrestling and tying each other up on a zebra-print bedspread. Part of a three-part collection dedicated to the fine art of tickling. (40 min.)
BOX OF LAUGHTER: CONVERTED TO TICKLING...A sexy mother superior has the tables turned on her by a schoolgirl with an attitude. The nun soon finds herself bound and spreadeagled on a cross and has to endure the humiliation of hot wax and some divine tickling. (35 min.)
THE BOILER ROOM...Mistress Tara is at the helm of a tugboat heading into New York Harbor when her nemesis, Valerie Devine, is discovered as a stowaway. Time to teach her a few nautical disciplinary lessons. The most elaborate and extreme of Beatty’s videos, Boiler Room offers a wide range of kinkiness, from water sports to whipping. Call it Mutiny on the Bondage. (51 min.)
