l: abigail mac, r: ella knox

in some ways this could be seen as a spiritual sequel to abigail mac's scene a few weeks back with kendra spade for mofos: two women putting on a performance of lesbian sexuality for an inadequate boyfriend at the other end of the video recording. but although thematically it's the same, psychologically it's the inverse: rather than taunting the unseen boyfriend with how much better abigail is at pleasing her, as kendra did, ella is doing it as a tease and an invitation to up his game.

there's probably something more honest about girl/girl porn that explicitly invites the male gaze; performers who declare themselves to be bisexual are frequently candid about getting off to turning men on by interacting with women. my kneejerk discomfort (a common one among exclusively girl/girl consumers, i believe, which makes me rather despise it) with men being involved in any capacity in the narrative of girl/girl porn is both unrealistic and overly precious: of course it's being done for men, otherwise why would it be filmed in the first place.

of course abigail mac is a superstar and is in total control of the scene from the beginning. ella knox, a genuine talent with obvious assets, still seems rather diffident as a performer, although her sexual enthusiasm is clear. their chemistry is limited, but their performance of pleasure is not: i didn't buy the scenario, but i definitely bought the sex.

unfortunately, they're let down hard by some of the blandest, ugliest filmmaking in the reality kings canon for this month. (i don't know if it's the same person who shot the kimmy granger scene which is the lowest score i've given a mindgeek scene, but it feels like it.) continually shot from either above or below, with lots of empty space on the screen and a weird flattened effect to the lighting, it looks awful, and being intercut with ella's cell phone footage doesn't help: that looks even worse.

this is the second time i've seen abigail and ella together for a mindgeek brand in the past few months: the first was a valentine's day scene for twistys shot by holly randall, and was as gorgeous as this wasn't. of course this was going to suffer by comparison.
