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 an...

scene title:  behave yourself performers:  ember snow, demi sutra site:  sweetheart video (mile high) production credits:  ricky greenwood (dir.) trailer l: demi sutra, r: ember snow the second scene from lesbian beauties #20: black and asian (the search-term driven literalism of porn titling is so miserable; but at least it's not *gag* ebony) is the last one i'll get to enjoy this month; sweetheart is rolling the next two out (including one with my forever fave ana foxxx) in may. but this is a spectacular way to close out the series on the blog: nigerian-american demi and filipino-american ember are still underappreciated but poised for major breakthroughs, ambitious, smart, and highly skilled. they also really enjoy each other: their appearance together on cherry pimp's wildoncam in march was the best i've ever seen, and they mentioned having worked together before. this scene is presumably what they meant. the scene itself is rather light on...

scene title:  left at the altar performers:  tiffany watson, kira noir site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.),  zombie (ed.), metalhead42 (scr.) trailer l: kira noir, r: tiffany watson girlsway is the most prolific site among those i review here, so it's probably inevitable that there's a certain bored familiarity in my approach to their scenes. i know what to expect, especially from the last several scenes shot by stills by alan toward the end of 2018, and they're almost never going to surprise me anymore. that's even more true with this scene, the second kira noir/tiffany watson pairing to run on girlsway in early 2019, which is unusual enough to be worthy of comment. their first pairing, "getting hot in here," was released after both scenes had been shot, so this isn't in response to fan demand. presumably it was about availability on the day; either way, they work well enough together that you could imagine...

scene title:  alex gives bellah a wild sybian ride performers:  alex more, bellah dahl site:  wild on cam  ◅  cherry pimps (pimp.xxx) production credits:  none listed trailer l: alex more, r: bellah dahl i've been dreading these wildoncam videos only slightly less than the awkwardness and sloppy filmmaking of girlfriends films scenes, but this one pleasantly surprised me. maybe i was in a better mood than usual, maybe my expectations were so low that there was nowhere to go but up, maybe mses. more and dahl were just so comfortable with each other and had such a genuine connection that their mutual activities felt organic and intimate rather than staged for the viewer. those activities were staged for the viewer, of course; and like everyone else i've watched in this series, they directly addressed the people live in the chatroom. but unlike previous entrants, they kept that discourse to a minimum, talking more to each other (performativel...

scene title:  not just a kiss performers:  misty stone, vina sky site:  sweetheart video (mile high) production credits:  ricky greenwood (dir.) trailer l: misty stone, r: vina sky i had almost given up on sweetheart's lesbian beauties series. i first noticed it four or five years ago, when sweetheart was one of a number of studios putting out sensual, story-driven girl/girl porn starring women of color. (r.i.p. filly films, love's kitty, and several others.) but when i started paying attention again in 2018, sweetheart seemed to have abandoned that market in favor of feature-oriented work à la new sensations (perhaps thanks to jackie st. james revamping sister brand sweet sinner). but looking back, i guess it was always common for the lesbian beauties series to skip a year. in any case, i'm really glad it came back this month, since my interest in highlighting the work of women of color has only grown. this round, the subtitle for the series i...

scene title:  endless performers:  ana foxxx, avi love, lacy lennon site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  whitney wright (dir., scr.), missa x (ed.) trailer l: avi love, r: lacy lennon there are three names in the header, but this isn't a threesome: according to the writer/director, it's a two-part scene that seems to have been released as one for maximum impact. at an hour and twenty minutes, it's long enough to be considered a feature film by the academy of motion picture arts and sciences, and in fact it's smart, well-made, and narratively fulfilling enough to play at a film festival, which i wouldn't say about anything else i've reviewed this month. structurally it's still very much porn, as the bulk of the running time is taken up by two extended sex scenes, one between avi love and lacy lennon and the other between avi and ana foxxx, but the structure, communicated almost entirely in film language rather than dialogue, is mor...

scene title:  libero libido performers:  skyler nicole, cecilia lion site:  we live together  ◅  reality kings (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: cecilia lion, r: skyler nicole meanwhile, reality kings keeps right on trucking along with another entry in the welivetogether brand. this time up: cecilia lion and skyler nicole as volleyball players fighting over who gets to keep the ball as a trophy for their big win. it's a feather-slight pretext for a scene, and skyler slamming cecilia up against the lockers after she yanks the ball out of her hands one too many times would, in any genre but porn, be the beginning of an actual fight. but instead they both smirk, and skyler drops to her knees. if it was just sex from then on, it would be a dreadfully boring scene; but whether it was in the script or not (i tend to think it was, since mindgeek productions have a reputation for being micromanaged by corporate), they introduce a...

scene title:  teens with big tits share foot play performers:  boni, marry morgan site:  lesbea  ◅  sexyhub (really useful) production credits:  none listed trailer l: boni, r: marry morgan after two relatively intense scenes back to back, it was nice to finish off the 14th with an undemanding european scene with no story or character conflict, no dialogue other than the occasional "yes" or "sí," and a gauzy set that manages to be suffused with light without blowing out the camera lens. huh, it's almost like actual photographers know how to handle light. not that it was perfect: boni's skin tone could be oddly yellowish at times (porn doesn't know how to light black people, part one million), but she was lovely anyway: and as if to make up for her last appearance on lesbea, when i complained that she got relatively little attention in the threesome (because someone always does in a threesome), marry spends the bulk of the running time p...

scene title:  hot lesbian seduction performers:  alina lopez, anne amari site:  lesbianx (xempire) production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: alina lopez, r: anne amari speaking of mid-2000s gonzo, here's a scene straight from that school, with only the ages of the participants, the highness of the definition, and the zooming trap beats that open it marking any difference in the passage of time. i know and deeply respect alina lopez, one of the strongest young performers of the present moment, but this is my first encounter with anne amari, who appears to be less than a year into her career. because mason has stopped doing the brief interview to camera where she asks the girls what they're doing and how they feel about it, i have no feel for her personality beyond what reactions alina, who is very much driving the scene throughout, is able to elicit with her snakelike tongue and boundless energy. but they're both beautiful young women and giv...

scene title:  jenna foxx's hotline performers:  eden sin, jenna foxx site:  spizoo production credits:  none listed trailer l: eden sin, r: jenna foxx oh, hey, a spizoo scene with a scenario. not that it's much of one. woman fucks plumber is just behind woman fucks pizza boy as one of the hoariest porn setups. and this runs through the paces in an even more desultory fashion than most. eden sin (best wishes for her recovery ) doesn't attempt to be convincing about discovering a bad smell in the sink; once jenna foxx arrives as a plumber with very dangly earrings, the overall acting prowess ticks up a couple notches, but it's a relief when the awkward attempts at small talk end and the sex begins. the sex itself is only okay; eden (who i've never seen before) seems tentative and even inept, while jenna (who i've seen lots from and really enjoy) is smoothly professional. there's still virtually no communication or attempt to keep the scenario u...

scene title:  sex & lies [scene 3] performers:  ana foxxx, serene siren site:  wicked pictures production credits:  hank hoffman (dir.) trailer l: serene siren, r: ana foxxx two weeks into april, two wicked features with girl/girl scenes. i was not expecting that (before april, wicked hadn't posted a girl/girl scene since november, and they've always been relatively sparing), but i'm pleasantly surprised. and i'm overjoyed at the appearance here of ana foxxx, my favorite pornstar of her generation and one of the most beautiful women on the planet regardless of profession. the scene itself is not particularly narratively interesting: it's a stylized example of an exclusive women's-only sex party being described by ryan driller to avi love (who play the principle characters). it's so indebted to 90s-style erotica, in fact, that mood music is the only sound throughout fully half the scene. but ana foxxx and serene siren are so expressive and ...

scene title:  the bucket list performers:  harmony wonder, cecilia lion site:  all girl massage  ◅  fantasy massage (gamma) production credits:  billy visual (dir.), willy blash (ed.) trailer l: harmony wonder, r: cecilia lion one of the most appealing young starlets to have emerged in the last year is cecilia lion, whose mane of natural hair and wide smile are visually striking in a field that can be endlessly samey. i've cooled on her since seeing her social media (among other things, she's politically unastute), but her performances are still delightful, and she's getting experienced enough to take the lead sexually, as she does here. i don't know harmony wonder as well (she's just about as new as cecilia, though does less girl/girl), but she's certainly cute here. although she's definitely no masseuse. the biggest problem with porn brands built around the massage concept is that some porn performers (often older ones) are quite good at...

scene title:  nipple to nipple performers:  danai, maely site:  abby winters production credits:  giulia (dir.) trailer l: maely, r: danai this is, to the best of my recollection, the first abbywinters video i've watched all the way through in more than twenty years of watching girl/girl porn. partly that's because i've never had much interest in "amateur" content, preferring to indulge the heightened fantasy of mainstream porn, fully aware of how unrealistic it is. but also it's because, as far as i could tell from my very cursory awareness of the brand for the past couple of decades, it was very white. so i was pleasantly surprised when the first girl/girl video posted to the site this month features a black woman. browsing through recent postings, it's not as lily-white as i remembered (or assumed), although i'd venture to say it's still very middle-class, in the way that a lot of bespoke, artisanal internet content is, because...

scene title:  kenzie reeves, jayden starr & victoria cakes performers:  kenzie reeves, jayden starr, victoria cakes site:  zebra girls  ◅  dogfart production credits:  none listed trailer l: victoria cakes, c: kenzie reeves, r: jayden starr well, this is a whole lot. let's start with the site. zebra girls, the girl/girl site from dogfart network (yes, it's the worst-named company in porn, an industry with stiff competition in that arena), which focuses entirely on interracial pairings, has frequently been one of my guilty pleasures over the past couple of years. or not guilty, really: conflicted. it's one of the few girl/girl sites to reliably feature black women, but it's also shot terribly and has frequently featured uncomfortable, borderline racist premises playing on white anxieties about "angry black women." there's a little bit of that here: towards the end, jayden and victoria make a half-hearted attempt to push the scene int...

scene title:  sex toy sparks lesbian threesome performers:  boni, lina mercury, mia casanova site:  lesbea  ◅  sexyhub (really useful) production credits:  none listed trailer r: mia casanova, c: boni, l: lina mercury one thing european girl/girl studios are uniformly excellent at is finding beautiful women. regardless of whether they are any good at acting, projecting a personality, or giving pleasure to other women, they sure do look nice in the attempt. here we have a very slight premise on which to hang a scene, but it's miles better than no premise at all, which has been lesbea's standard procedure until quite recently. italian mia, russian lina and colombian boni are having a pillow fight on, presumably, boni's bed. at least when lina picks up a pillow and discovers a large black dildo underneath, boni admits it's hers in one of the very few spoken lines (in english, no less) of the scene. apparently the very thought of a dildo gets ...

scene title:  anal mind games performers:  casey calvert, kira noir, whitney wright site:  everything butt ◅ kink production credits:  kirin kurai (dir.) trailer l: whitney wright, c: casey calvert, r: kira noir now this is extreme fetish porn done right. it's still not remotely my thing (i had to look away while the camera stared down the barrel of kira noir's asshole spread wide with a speculum), but it was well-made, with great performances, a relatively intelligent premise (you know, for fetish porn), and even, shockingly, attractive cinematography. casey, kira and whitney were the selling point, of course: all three spiegler girls, all three among the best actors of the current moment in porn as well as unafraid to do just about anything with their bodies. casey and kira have done more extreme work, while whitney, who is newer, has embraced more acting-heavy roles and has earned a reputation as a beloved weirdo. the checklists of st...

scene title:  sneaky little skank performers:  paige owens, chanel skye site:  hot and mean  ◅  brazzers (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: paige owens, r: chanel skye among porn connoisseurs, brazzers has the reputation of being lowest-common-denominator porn: the biggest site, pumping out schlocky, formulaic content and crucially, lots of it. their only girl/girl brand, launched a decade ago, is hot and mean, which was originally supposed to mean dom/sub scenarios, but now often just means the girls have an argument before having sex, and sometimes not even that. not that i mind; it takes a certain kind of performer to pull off real dom/sub play, and volume production on brazzers' scale means working with what you have. which is why although there was plenty wrong with it, i enjoyed this scene quite a bit. it's the first scene to feature a black woman that i've gotten to see this month, and since i live in the real wo...
