production credits: dean capture (dir.), lacy lennon (scr.)

cherry pimps really does try.
lacy lennon, the new it girl of early 2019, is their cherry of the month [sic] for april, and this girl/girl scene was, i gather, her brainchild: a scenario of closeted lesbian lovers in the 1940s or 50s, co-starring one of the few current girl/girl performers who could pull off the classic melodrama look. not that the period costuming goes beyond some ornate lingerie and long strings of plastic pearls: even their hairstyles are more of a reference to a generic past than a recreation of any particular style.
a highly desaturated introduction, with lacy waiting anxiously by her phone for a serene who does not answer, establishes the fillip of narrative: when serene enters, she is distraught because their families have discovered that they are lovers, and they are threatened with the police. so far, so porn-budget version of carol; but as they kiss each other for comfort, we cut to them stripped to lingerie in full color (and, to be fair to dean capture, quite beautiful color) on a four-poster bed with a white canopy on three sides and a vaguely classic wrought-iron headboard.
they move into sex fairly quickly, and it develops naturally from romantic sex, in which they both maintain the scenario quite well, even mostly remembering to keep the dialogue period-appropriate, into quite energetic sex, with nothing but moans. serene's plot resolution at the end, when she has the brilliant brainwave of running away together, is rather hasty but does at least tie a bow on the scene.
their performances, a few quibbles about period dialogue or somewhat stiff emoting aside, are great: lacy is the new it girl for a reason, and serene continues to impress. the cheapness of the production was a bit more of an issue for me: the synthetic vaguely-orchestral muzak which was chosen to bookend the scene severely undercut the melodrama (max steiner it is not), and the entire visible set wobbling as they tribbed felt less like quakes of passion and more like flimsiness. i was afraid the relatively short running time (it clocks in at under half an hour) meant that cherry pimps' severe editing hand had struck again, but i didn't notice any obvious gaps: lacy and serene were just that efficient.
dean capture's photography is very beautiful, because he's one of the best lighters in the business, and if there wasn't actual film grain on the final product it was well simulated; but because i'm a nerd about historical recreations, i wish the copyright-free soundtrack, the improvised set, and the wardrobe the models themselves had to provide (i know how thin porn budgets are, especially for non-mindgeek or gamma productions) had been at the same level as the visuals. glamour's tough to do without spending real money, and i've seen enough performers complain about delayed payment from the parent company that i don't think i'll ever fully trust cherry pimps to deliver.
but i appreciate it when they try.
