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 car...

scene title:  pussy eating ecstasy performers:  scarlett sage, lexi lore site:  teenikini production credits:  none listed website l: lexi lore, r: scarlett sage yup, i'm revolted. i expected to be revolted, and i am. this isn't the fault of scarlett sage and lexi lore, except insofar as accepting the booking is a tacit approval of the site's aesthetic. but if slim, small-breasted women refused to accept "teen" roles in porn, they would have very little work, so i can't really blame them. and they make the best of it, to the degree there's any best to be made. scarlett is a top-tier girl/girl performer, and lexi, who i know less well, is a spiegler girl, which is its own recommendation; they enjoy each other perfectly well. what the teenikini site is, is a site that features young women dressed in very tiny string bikinis who then masturbate or, when there's more than one of them, have sex. there's a fillip of narrative at the o...

scene title:  easter egg-gasm performers:  scarlett sage, shyla jennings site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., ed., scr.) trailer l: scarlett sage, r: shyla jennings if the last allherluv scene was the most complex, emotionally mature, and dramatically complete scene we've seen all month (thanks to writer-director whitney wright), this piece of holiday-themed fluff is entirely its opposite: a silly premise featuring two women playing well under their actual age, with no particular shape to the story, no narrative payoff to several seeds planted, or any complex emotions at all. which is fine: not every porn scene needs to be in contention for the palme d'or, and scarlett sage and shyla jennings are probably the two girl/girl stars most suited to playing up a silly premise with no real acting, but a great deal of sexual enthusiasm, necessary. what their relationship is supposed to be is never spelled out in the scene, bu...

scene title:  maid for each other: office cleaning performers:  scarlett sage, dee williams site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  casey calvert & eli cross (dir.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: dee williams, r: scarlett sage the second casey calvert/eli cross directorial effort to be posted by girlsway works a lot better for me than the first. part of that is that it's an office setting, and the relationship is employer/employee rather than stepmother/stepdaughter, part of it is that the script is better: more natural and amusing and featuring a seduction rather than just "let's fuck." and finally part of it is also that the directing is better and more fluid. not that it's terribly distinct from the girlsway mold established by stills by alan. the colors are oversaturated, especially in the reds (a great way to highlight a pale woman's sexual flush, but ugly and cheap otherwise), the establishing shots are shoddy (you don'...

scene title:  showcase: emily willis performers:  scarlett sage, emily willis site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  eli cross (dir.), angelo poirier (ed.) emily willis (scr.) trailer l: emily willis, r: scarlett sage four days into this review challenge, i finally meet up with girlsway, the biggest and most successful girl/girl brand of the decade. of course i have lots of history with girlsway and plenty of opinions about it. but i'm trying to take each scene as it comes, without loading preconceptions onto it. that's hard to do here, because the emily willis and scarlett sage episode of we like girls isn't even two months old, and it was one of the most adorable scenes i've ever seen in my life. if this doesn't live up to it, blame the restrictions of scenario porn, which keep scarlett and emily from being as unaffectedly natural and conversational with each other as they are when they don't have to pretend to be other people. it's...
