Gag Cartoons

And now for another trip down memory lane with some old school "gag" cartoons. First, two beautifully drawn  pieces by the great Arthur Ferrier:

...followed by an archetype French maid by Dan DeCarlo (of "Archie" fame)...

...an unfinished piece by "Morrice" (I'd be interested to know what the punchline was for this one):

...and finally, an unabashed tour-de-force by Bill Ward, the undisputed master of legs, lace and lingerie (many thanks to BB for providing this exceptional piece):

Better Late Than Never

The March Show featured some extremely saucy moves as the girls displayed their sleek, round bottoms to a most appreciative audience :)

There were also plenty of frilly, white girlie-pants on exhibition as the troupe revealed their sleek ivory thighs to all and sundry...

...not to mention the bright, pink garters worn by each of our demoiselles :)

Considering the roars of approval after each performance, it's easy to understand why pretty young girls love showing their knickers in public :)

Unfortunately, such pink-cheeked naughtiness could not go unpunished. Once the high kicks were finished, it was time for a good, smart spanking on the buns!

Of course, nobody gets off  "scott-free" once the tables are finally turned - let's face it; all of our coquettes deserved a well-smacked bottom for their efforts!

Which brings us, of course, to the highly-anticipated grand finale:

One might describe it as the perfect "end" to a perfect show...though by the looks of things, at least one of our girls might beg to differ :D

Kankan Minisuka!

In a rare turn of events, Mia joins Ava and Karen on stage for a "miniskirt cancan." And why have these former arch rivals finally decided to call a ceasefire? We suspect that Karen - mature, sensible and exceptionally polite - probably acted as peacemaker, persuading Mia to join them for their latest charity benefit:

TISA's commentary:

In this show, the girls are wearing miniskirts to show off their frilly white panties under multicolored petticoats, with special emphasis laid on the Royal Flash throughout the entire performance.

Ava En Solo

Here's another concept design we came up with a few years back. "Phase Two" was meant to be a sequel to Tricolor Angels, following up on the trials and tribulations of the Miyamae Five. One of the ideas we discussed involved solo adventures for each of the main characters.

At the time, Ava was something of a fan favorite, so we considered filling in her back story; explaining how she originally met Lily and became a member of the Angels (some of you might recognize the central graphic; it was one of our very first collaborative efforts).

The August Show

Just in time for our Summer Festivities, Tisa makes his triumphant return with this undisputed MMD masterpiece. Lasting more than six minutes, The August Show is a tour-de-force of lighting and special effects, featuring a wide array of flips, swats and the ever-popular Royal Flash!

OK, so let's see if this AI program works on a hand-drawn image we found on the web...

Actually...not too bad at all for a free online converter...

Seems to work best at smaller sizes, but it definitely has great potential for  the future...

And yeah, it appears to work just as well with screencaps too. If you'd like to try it out, the program's called Leiapix, and the site is located at: https://convert.leiapix.com. Enjoy :)

French Frolics

For those of us with a  yearning for those sentimental days of yore: here's a quaint piece of vintage ephemera from the classic gentleman's magazine, French Frills:

Ah, nostalgia...

Merry Christmas!

You are all cordially invited to the 2020 French Cancan Christmas Show, featuring our favorite Japanese idols in an all-out, high stepping extravaganza! No expense has been spared for this lavish Yuletide Benefit, combining the talents of no less than twenty - count 'em, twenty - beautiful young performers!

With so many leggy lassies taking to the stage, we've had to divide the festivities into two parts. The first half starts with a nurse costume, a white costume with the image of snow, and finally a French maid costume.

In the second half, three teams dressed in Santa Claus, elves, and maid costumes dance cancan in turn. Each performance includes a plethora of swats, spanks and the celebrated Flash Royale as the girls reveal their panties, thighs and stockings to the all and sundry!

 

The show starts at midnight: book your tickets NOW!

The Merry Go Round

OK, true believers: a few of you might have noticed that Tisa recently introduced a new move to the Angels' repertoire, a classic cancan maneuver which Barbebleu has appropriately dubbed the "Merry Go Round." This particular formation is a variation of the celebrated Royal Flash, in which the dancers form a circle and reveal their bottoms in a distinctly floral display:

Screencaps courtesy of the Tricolor Dream video (many thanks to Tisa and Antoine for this exceptional collaboration). The Merry Go Round was used to great effect by The Ballet Montparnasse in 1959's Jack the Ripper, and more recently by 007Snejinka in Швецова Анна (2010).

The Christmas Pageant

With Christmas swiftly approaching, Reverend Chapel is keen to raise money for Miyamae General Hospital. Knowing that two of his parishioners are members of The Fabulous Five, the good minister asks Sarah and Anna if they can throw a charity performance on December 24. Both girls agree that the event is worth staging and promise to discuss the idea with their dance company.  

Following a prolonged discussion, Karen suggests that they dress up in nurses' uniforms to surprise the elderly patients. More debate follows, but eventually, all of them assent to wearing candy-striper outfits with white panties and black stockings underneath. Taking their cue from a famous British comedy series, they will "shock" the audience with an impromptu cancan (ala The Benny Hill Show). 

 

A few days later, Karen and Sarah go to visit local celebrity Mia Szorkova, asking her to put in an appearance. This naturally requires a considerable degree of persuasion, as Mia is lead singer of rival pop band MIASMA. Under normal circumstances, the two groups would never work together, but given the charitable nature of the enterprise, Mia agrees that she and The MIASMAS will contribute their skills, albeit wearing different costumes.

Meanwhile, Lily and Ava contact Leona Alvarez (chief choreographer for GirlFest) to ask if she can help out with the Pageant. Upon hearing their plans, Leona suggests that she and her troupe could dress in French Maid uniforms, serving food and drinks before launching into a third rendition of the cancan (ala The Two Ronnies Christmas Special). This is exceptionally good news: now there will be three dance groups performing at the Show. Together, they'll raise a small fortune and give the old folk a Christmas present they'll never forget...
