scene title:  dp'ed by her mistress performers:  chrissy fox, wendy moon site:  house of taboo  ◅  ddf network production credits:  none listed trailer l: chrissy fox, r: wendy moon well, that's an unpleasant note to end on. note i didn't say it was bad, just unpleasant. in fact there were some things i liked about this scene: i always appreciate a strong bdsm performance (i might feel differently if bdsm was as common in girl/girl as men dominating women is in boy/girl), and some of the photography was quite beautiful. wendy moon's performance as a silky domme, even in broken english (both performers are czech, and regulars in europe's extreme fetish scenes), was quite nice. and that's it. what i couldn't stomach was chrissy fox's performance of utter terror and abjection. (it was a superb performance, which is part of why i disliked it so much.) maybe that means i don't actually like bdsm, just light vanilla kink; but every yes

scene title:  she makes me cum performers:  daisy stone, lacy lennon site:  nubile films (nubiles) production credits:  none listed trailer l: daisy stone, r: lacy lennon nubile films is one of several sites that contracts with producers in both the us and europe, so even though everything else we've seen from them this month is european, they also have a scene with the american it girl of early 2019, lacy lennon, in her fourth appearance on this blog. (only kenna james, scarlett sage, and serene siren have appeared more times this month.) and daisy stone is here for the second time, after a memorable scene being dominated by sovereign syre for wicked. but there's even less of a setup here than there was to the notoriously setup-light european scenes. both women just show up in lingerie, smile at each other, and start kissing. i did laugh out loud at one point, when the library-music indie-rock that opens the scene reached a crescendo at the exact moment daisy

scene title:  girls night in performers:  amber d, julia rain site:  viv thomas (metart) production credits:  sandra shine (dir.), frank mirror (ed.) trailer l: amber d, r: julia rain perhaps the slightest and least compelling of sandra shine's directorial efforts for the vivthomas brand this month. it's beautifully shot, but even by the story-free standards of the site the intro is lackadaisical: houseware-porn closeups of amber d preparing popcorn for a tv night, then she sits down on a couch and pretends to watch tv, julia rain joins her, the popcorn goes everywhere, julia plucks it out of amber's nightie, they kiss. maybe if either of them demonstrated a scintilla of personality it might be more engaging, but they're both very new (their only previous credits seem to have been for sexart in the past month) and although they perform sex perfectly adequately (sandra shine can nearly always be relied on for that), their total lack of communication mea

scene title:  katrina jade and gina valentina wash each others pussies performers:  katrina jade, gina valentina site:  elegant angel production credits:  sid knox (dir.) trailer l: gina valentina, r: katrina jade every year gonzo studio elegant angel releases several all-new compilations featuring major contenders for the big avn awards: this scene is from performers of the year 2019. it's the only girl/girl scene on the disc; angela white (who won poty for the second year running in 2019), kissa sins, and abella danger were all in boy/girl scenes. we've seen all of them here over the course of the past month, if not necessarily at their best. we've also seen gina valentine and katrina jade here quite recently, and this is gina's third appearance in a gonzo scene this month. like her girlfriends scene with whitney wright, it opens with a dual interview to camera, although because elegant angel is a much better studio than girlfriends the interview is

scene title:  in vivo - excerpt performers:  katrina jade, kenna james site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., scr., ed.) trailer l: katrina jade, r: kenna james "in vivo" is an 80-minute scene (a "featurette," in industry-speak) released on march 14th on missax.com. i haven't watched the whole thing, but i gather that kenna and katrina play lesbian wives who find themselves stuck in such a way that only katrina sleeping with the male talent in the scene, chad white, can rescue them. the excerpt posted on allherluv on the last day of april is just the twenty-minute sex scene in which kenna shows katrina that she loves her and demands assurance that no one else makes her feel as good; i'm not even sure whether it comes before or after katrina's tryst with chad. i haven't seen much of katrina jade's work, though i'm aware of her remarkable presence in the industry, but kenna james is one of the top four

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 5] performers:  carolina sweets, paige owens site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: carolina sweets, r: paige owens it seems as though each scene in this release is aimed at a different segment of the girl/girl market: lacy and gina for the romance fans, ana and kenzie for the gonzo fans, reagan and jessica for the milf fans, emma and darcie for the glamour fans, and now carolina and paige for the fans of the "teen" category. i've said my piece about why i despise that category, and i won't repeat myself here; i'll just note that both women are in their early twenties and despite being styled in youthful fashions in the intro they do no pretending that they're younger than they are. i've reviewed carolina working for girlfriends and paige working for brazzers, and while i wasn't enormously impressed by either of them they are both perfectly competent at

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 4] performers:  darcie dolce, emma hix site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: darcie dolce, r: emma hix as i suspected, darcie dolce isn't incapable of giving an intimate performance; she just has to be paired with the right partner. she still isn't wholly vulnerable here: her go-to move of blowing a raspberry on her partner's genitals, which has always been indicative to me her preference for high energy over maintaining a connection, rears its head once or twice. but emma is patient and genuine with her (she always initiates communication, which seems necessary with darcie), and by the end of the scene they both seem to experience real satisfaction. the filmmaking is spectacular. the room is as echoey (all hard surfaces and open areas) as the ana/kenzie scene, but instead of being on a couch they're on a large ottoman, so the cameras can shoot them like they're on a

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 2] performers:  ana foxxx, kenzie taylor site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: kenzie taylor, r: ana foxxx at about the four-minute mark i was about to start complaining that the underlighting of these scenes meant that ana foxxx' dark skin was muddy and indistinct, and then someone either turned a light on or adjusted the camera's aperture properly, and for the rest of the scene the lighting was exceptionally beautiful. the setting is a faux-leather couch in an echoey hall rather than a bed in a muffled room, so the sound is worse than the previous scene: and kenzie and ana are naturally louder performers than gina and lacy. this isn't gentle and romantic, but energetic and cheerful, with silly porn positions (including reverse cowboy on a dildo stuck to a glass table; ana is such a champ) and plenty of dirty talk. both of them are grown women who know what they like and h

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 1] performers:  gina valentina, lacy lennon site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: lacy lennon, r: gina valentina the hollow laugh i gave out when this five-scene collection popped up on the last monday in the month, the second-to-last day before i will be free of this goddamn project. back deep in the archives now, i expressed surprise and delight at how many wicked scenes i was getting to review, because they were usually so sparing with their girl/girl. two weeks passed with only boy/girl releases, and i felt we were back to normal. then of course axel braun drops a wall-to-wall girl/girl release, as if to taunt me. wicked is known for their features, but like everyone else they keep the lights on with "all-sex" releases, themed compilations of story-free sex between good-looking performers who are pros enough to either have real chemistry or to fake it well enough that the

scene title:  just hanging out performers:  vienna black, kiarra nava'hoe site:  we live together  ◅  reality kings (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: vienna black, r: kiarra nava'hoe our last mindgeek scene, from the most consistently mediocre mindgeek brand. reality kings is a volume business, pumping out bland, forgettable product with no distinctive style and no ambition whatever. the fact that worthwhile scenes still come off that production line is probably due more to the law of averages (and to the anonymous producers of those particular scenes) than to corporate strategy or editorial oversight. vienna black has been in the business for two years, while kiarra kai is new as of 2019, and undergoing the usual new-girl trouble of settling on a name. (in general, when a performer goes by more than one name, i use the name in the site credits in the blurbs above but tag them by the name they use on social media so i can find them across

scene title:  twisted passions #26  [scene 2] performers:  xandra sixx, scarlett sage site:  girlfriends films production credits:  dan o'connell (dir.) trailer l: xandra sixx, r: scarlett sage and with this, at long last, this blog bids goodbye to girlfriends films. not farewell, because i now resent the company enough to wish no good to them, but goodbye. happy to see the back of it. never looking back. they can make the most spectacular performers look dull and the most creative stories interminable. it's really a special kind of alchemy, a formula that if it could be reverse-engineered to find the antidote could be used to save thousands of porn productions a year from awkwardness, stupidity, and visual blah. we're back in the lemoyne hotel; desk clerk scarlett sage (who cameoed in the previous twisted passions scene) is again snippy and condescending to xandra sixx (who i don't believe i've noticed since 2015, but has had a respectable career

scene title:  surprising mom at the office performers:  aaliyah love, cadence lux site:  all girl massage  ◅  fantasy massage (gamma) production credits:  billy visual (dir.), zombie (ed.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: cadence lux, r: aaliyah love because april happens to have five mondays in it, we get five allgirlmassage scenes this month. the site is now in its tenth decade of operation (sixth under gamma) and has recently started to push slightly against the very limited format of the premise. only two of the scenes this month have been set in a massage parlor, and only one of those featured a standard masseuse/client setup. despite featuring the same set materials as the kenzie taylor/veronica valentine scene, this one doesn't seem to be set in a massage parlor, but some other place of business. details, as usual, are sketchy. aaliyah love is stressed out at work, so when her stepdaughter cadence lux (you can tell she's supposed to be eighteen becaus

scene title:  long hair stunning babes in heels performers:  andreina deluxe, lexi dona site:  lesbea  ◅  sexyhub (really useful) production credits:  none listed trailer l: lexi dona, r: andreina deluxe it's hard not to feel as though every site is just pushing its least notable stuff out at the end of the month, even though i know intellectually that of course the scheduling doesn't work that way. anyway, here's the last thing we're seeing from lesbea in april, and it has all of lesbea's faults that we've seen throughout. it has most of its virtues too, but to the usual mediocre effect. we saw czech lexi dona with ukrainian josephine jackson for lesbea a couple weeks ago, and she's back with colombian andreina deluxe, who is much newer and less experienced in girl/girl but not very shy about it. their similar body types, including long waterfalls of dark hair, and almost total lack of discernable personality make the scene relatively same

scene title:  squirt training performers:  bonnie rotten, zoey monroe site:  hot and mean  ◅  brazzers (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: bonnie rotten, r: zoey monroe the last brazzers scene of the month cements their reputation as the silliest and most cartoonish site i've regularly covered here. i didn't believe a second of this scene in terms of emotional connection or sexual intimacy, but i was never asked to. the preposterous premise, with purple-haired zoey monroe in a sort of porn-stunt boot camp being drilled in her maneuvers by heavily-tattooed bonnie rotten, presents the basic reality of the scene as so heightened and stylized that it might as well have opened with the looney tunes theme. not that i'm complaining: psychologically credible and emotionally intimate pornography is great, but there's also a place for the high-energy circus-trick type of porn, in which the various things that the human body can do that someone

scene title:  curious cousin performers:  alexis fawx, christie stevens site:  girls try anal  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), zombie (ed.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: christie stevens, r: alexis fawx sigh. it's hard to keep trying to find diplomatic ways to couch my increasing exhaustion with the girlsway formula. even at the height of my interest in the site, i never watched every scene in a month, and doing so now just drives home how banal and slipshod the basic structure of a girlsway scene is. introduce characters (throw in a gratuitous shot of the girlsway website if possible), have them to chatter about nothing for about three minutes, have one of them bring up sex to the other's shock and possible intrigue, establish a backstory of sexual disappointment/inexperience, get actually sexual, get the surprised reaction shot that can be plastered on the scene's branding and gifed for tube-site advertising, then run

scene title:  anal play performers:  elin, nikolina site:  abby winters production credits:  giulia (dir.) trailer l: elin, r: nikolina i guess this demonstrates the perils of generalization. i don't care for amateur porn, i don't care for porn where no one says anything, i don't care for porn without any kind of setup or preamble... except when i do. not that i absolutely adored this scene. all the usual abbywinters flaws were there: bad camerawork, garish and unpleasant decor, awful lighting, endless yawning takes where nothing much is happening. but the two performances at the center, so intimate and involved that it hardly seems fair to call them performances, really worked this time. even though neither of them spoke more than two or three sentences all hour, and never above a murmur, their connection was strong throughout. checking the abbywinters website, this seems to be nikolina's first shoot, and only elin's second (i have no idea what th

scene title:  marley brinx first ggdp! performers:  marley brinx, ivy lebelle, lyra law site:  lesbianx  ◅  xempire production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: ivy lebelle, c: marley brinx, r: lyra law phew. i'm glad that there was at least one manic strapon frenzy on lesbianx this month, since that's one of the site's primary niches, along with squirting and anal. the pre-scene interview continues to be back, and this time petite marley brinx is the star, doing her first girl/girl double penetration scene. ivy lebelle, who was in the last lesbianx scene, and lyra law, who has popped up a couple times now, including in the first scene i reviewed for this blog, are her pseudo-studs. but girl/girl double penetration isn't really a very common type of scene outside of lesbianx: the symbiotic relationship between gonzo and relatively extreme acts strikes again, since those acts are difficult to build into a narrative (pace kink), so gonzo gets the reput

scene title:  the ex of my ex is my treat performers:  jayden cole, molly stewart site:  when girls play  ◅  twistys (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l jayden cole, r: molly stewart and we say farewell to twistys with this entry. because i like the visual ambition and dedication to beautiful imagery of glamour porn, i perhaps have more of a soft spot for twistys than their limited scenarios, ridiculous poses, and frequently unimaginative camerawork deserves. their quality of their scenes lives or dies on the performances, which is why my scores for the site are all over the place, but rarely very high: despite featuring all-stars like joanna angel, shyla jennings, angela white, and jenna sativa this month, none of them were at their best here, something i'm willing to blame more on mindgeek's micromanaged scripts than on the performers themselves. this scene also has a very basic scenario, hardly worth the telling: jayden cole runs into her
