Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon

"Say, this being chained together is great fun!" "Yes, indeedy!" "I love it!" "When we get home, we must INSIST that we be chained up all the time!" "Huzzah!"

OK, I might be paraphrasing just a LEETLE bit here. The scene is a vidcap from Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon, this week's movie review. Like Thor and the Amazon Women, it's full of a number of things: intrigue, betrayal, cavalry charges, revolting slaves (I mean, just LOOK at the dresses those women are wearing!) secret tunnels, secret pigeons and the stupidest civil engineering feat in the history of civilization. It's definitely worth a look!

The Peplum Conundrum

"And now, back from her triumphant European tour, the incomparable Savita the Slave Dancer does her Fully Dressed Whip Dance!"

Today we've got another new piece in our analyses of slavegirl images in sword and sandal movies in our book "Hottitude of Servitude: Slave Girls in the Movies and On TV" now available on Amazon. This one focusses on the changes in mainstream audiences which may make it difficult to present movies full of half-naked men wrestling and fully dressed dancing girls and not be thought of as gay gay gay. Features imagery from a whip dance performed by said fully dressed slavegirl.
