As I have told you before, we expect our girls out of school to behave well and their behaviour to reflect well on us. "If you are in our 'out of school uniform', you are representing Saint Helena High School for Wayward Girls. And as such, no matter where you are, if naughty, you will be punished.' I announce this at the start of every term.

Like Kate, for instance, who was taunted by some girls from the local Grammar School. "Us good girls are allowed privileges, and can wear short skirts, not like you naughty girls at Waywards, who have to wear old fashioned gym slips out of school, and you get spanked for being naughty, like little girls ha ha!"

Silly Kate, took her knickers off! Rolled her gymslip up and overtook them, telling them "You privileged twats can fuck off, and kiss my arse!" She then rode into the local Park, and straight into the stomach of the Senior Park Keeper! Knocking him over!! The good girls laughed and laughed until they cried!

He rang our school and Miss Kenworthy went to meet him. He was stood with Kate, who dare not make eye contact with her teacher, and was stood in shame. Miss Kenworthy, looking radiant as always calmed the man and the situation.

The girls from the Grammar School were laughing and pointing, and making fun of Kate. "You are getting a spanking, you are getting a spanking..." They sang in unison

Miss Kenworthy having appeased the Park Keeper, called the girls over. "I understand this naughty girl was shouting at you?"

They cried and said how horrid she had been, and that it had upset them. And that they were good girls, and not used to such bad language.

"But Miss...." I intervened Kate.

"QUIET!!!!! BEND OVER THE BIKE AND BARE YOUR BOTTOM!!"

Kate knew better than to answer back.

"Is she getting a spanking Miss?" Asked the good girls.

"She is getting two dozen with my riding crop! Stand back girls."

The girls clapped her. "Oh goody a naughty girl needs a red bottom."

"They do indeed!" Agreed Miss Kenworthy, who announced to a growing crowd what had happened and what was going to happen.

She gave her a jolly good spanking with the crop, making her kick and squeal loudly. The watching crowd cheered and jeered at every whack.

She then pegged her skirt up and made her push her bike all the way back to school. Followed all the way by the good girls,making mock of her plight.

Aristasia (and their earlier incarnations) in the news, a timeline.

I've been accumulating a rather large collection of digital newspaper clippings about Aristasia and their various early incarnations and a little project I've been working on is organizing them into a timeline. This is still a work in progress, so as I add more newspaper clippings to the list, I'll be updating this post. The Aristasians, particularly their earlier incarnations, have a rather large analog footprint, and some things I've left off the list, particularly the majority of their many advertisements or anything they would have published themselves, and instead tried to stick to mentions of them in more mainstream publications.

The Gymslips - Evil Eye [1984 UK Goth/Post Punk]

[alice-j-fisher]

Something I heard. A boy at school forgot his PE kit twice, and as a punishment was sent to the Games Mistress, and made to play netball with the girls. For this he had to wear a girls PE set, which the teacher supplied from spares she had, and these included navy blue gym knickers, a short PE skirt, T shirt and white socks and his own plimsolls. After the other girls had changed, the boy was sent in to the girl's changing room on his own, to change. The games mistress waited for him outside but after a while entered the changing room as she thought he was taking to long. In there she accused him of 'playing with himself' while looking at other girls knickers etc hanging on the pegs. As he had already been disobedient in forgetting his football kit, she decided to spank his bottom. She pulled him over her lap while sitting on the bench, and raised 'his' gymslip over his back and gave him a severe spanking. She then led him out by the ear to join the netball. Needless to say he didn't know where to look, as the other girls giggled at his appearance.

The 19yo with carpal tunnel is herself a gymslip mum, and is introduced to her by Grandma.Ster's 30-year-old daughter who is her teacher at an FE college (She lost a year on maternity and recovering from a horrible birth, so is finishing up her A-levels at 19).

Grandma.Ster's daughter writes the 19yo off as a silly airhead who ~obviously~ can't be a good mother or go anywhere in life because she's a teenage single Mum and has this unrealistic career idea of being Big In eSports. And she has a fraught relationship with Grandma.Ster, for reasons that slowly come out... So both 19 and Grandma.Ster are feeling unloved and like failures. Until they find each other.

And then the Big Competition which comes with not just a cash prize, but a contract, crosses their radar...

(In the course of the film, Ster realises that her daughter is Like This because she put way too much pressure on her to not "make the same mistakes she did", and both apologise to each other and you get the sense that they'll start to repair their relationship.)

also like 10-15 years from now I hope someone makes one of those inspirational sports movies except it’s a 50 year old woman who wants to play competitive online games and everyone tells her she can’t because she’s too old, her reflexes are too slow, etc, and she gets this grizzled trainer except they’re a 19 year old kid who had a promising career until carpal tunnel syndrome ruined their chances of becoming the world champion so they train her and she fuckin wins, the end. movie of the year.

You may not be a father; however you are a stepfather. I do suppose that little secret has been kept from you. What a beautiful irony. The bastard child followed in her gymslip mother's footsteps. Perhaps you've even worked with her.

She has her father's red hair and pale skin, but her mother's eyes and keen sense of trouble. I do believe you would like her.

"Stepfather? Goodness. I doubt it. I would have to be married to be a stepfather, wouldn't I? Which I am - obviously - currently not."

We often peg a gymslip up after a spanking here at Saint Helena High School for Wayward Girls.. The girls then have to walk back to class, indeed to their desk, all the way from the Punishment Room, with it still pegged up.

A long embarrassing walk!

We know they started dating as teenagers, so now I'm just picturing teenage Abigail Pent turning around in her seat at the end of second period RE, pulling some crumpled (and slightly bloodstained) notes out of the pocket of her gymslip and unblinkingly going:

"QUINN, I HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING SOME EXPERIMENTS REGARDING PATTERN VARIATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANCILLARY GHOST WARDS AND-"

Teenage Magnus, who is going to be late for Remedial Swords again and doesn't care: "Do... DoyouwanttogototheResurrectiondancewithme?"
