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 adve...

scene title:  wrong number, right girl performers:  kali roses, sophia lux site:  webyoung  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.),  fistopher nolan (scr.), zombie (ed.) trailer l: sophia lux, r: kali roses i'd been wondering, since i disliked sophia lux's performance so much in her team skeet scene earlier this month, how she would strike me on the industry-leading girl/girl website. i'm happy to report that with a sympathetic premise, a capable scene partner, competent lighting and photography, and any production values at all she's quite a good performer. her bluntness and tough-girl affect bring genuine merit to a scene where kali roses was expecting to hook up with a boy but misread who she had been texting with, and girlsway's generally less sociopathic approach to their pairings means that her hands-off seduction of kali is surprisingly gentle and respectful. the scene still barely hangs together, becaus...

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:  mother's playdate performers:  dana vespoli, katie morgan site:  moms on moms  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: katie morgan, r: dana vespoli it turns out the old dog of girlsway does still have some new tricks up its sleeve. moms on moms, the spinoff brand of mommy's girl that has been responsible for a tempest in a teapot among the girlsway members (who screamed bloody murder when the monthly mommy's girl count was reduced by one to make room for it) is easy for someone like me who doesn't share the pseudo-incest fetish to dismiss as more of the same, just another a work-relief program for milf-category performers: but at least this pairing, the second ever, brought in a ringer who hasn't been on mommy's girl a thousand times already, and so elevated the standard. dana vespoli seems more engaged and even to be having more fun than i've seen her in quite some t...

scene title:  sapphic curse of the crystal skull performers:  adriana chechik, kissa sins site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.) trailer l: adriana chechik, r: kissa sins i have complained so much about stills by alan's day-to-day girlsway work that i may have given the impression that i don't think he could be a competent director. but that's not true; it's just that on the usual schedule he maintained of two scenes per day over the past couple of years, he took a lot of shortcuts and attempted very little quality control. when he was working on more ambitious projects, like the features that first made girlsway a name to be reckoned with in the industry, but which had more recently slowed to a trickle as the engagement metrics failed to support them, he could produce work at least as good as the average shitty tv show. here, he uses a combination of drone footage over desert landscapes, shots of his stars hiking in t...

scene title:  black sheep cousins performers:  kendra spade, eliza ibarra site:  webyoung  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), zombie (ed.) ossienelson4 (scr.) trailer l: kendra spade, r: eliza ibarra if, as i hope i've made clear i wish to be the case, these last few scenes directed by stills by alan late last year are the last i ever see from him, then it's appropriate that at least one of them show off how terribly unimaginative he could be as a director. the blandness, stupidity, and tediousness of this scene should be remembered as his hallmarks, just as much as the novelty of his work as it first appeared back in 2015-2016 (when bree mills was still much more directly involved in girlsway). that blandness, stupidity, and tediousness can only partly be laid at the feet of the performers, both of whom i've seen better work from but who did not appear to be trying terribly hard on the day of this shoot. they'...

scene title:  private yoga instructor performers:  serena blair, kali roses site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: serena blair, r: kali roses i've been looking forward to this scene in the schedule, because serena blair is always entertaining: she's one of the few porn actresses who has to improvise dialogue who seems to have actually absorbed the tenets of improv, always rolling with whatever her scene partner does and fleshing out her character or the situation with little quips and bits of business. she's also one of the top five all-time girl/girl performers in terms of sexual performance, which never hurts. this scenario, sadly, doesn't give her as much room to play as some others, and while kali roses is a perfectly good porn performer she's rather more straightforward as an actress, leaning on the smoky timbre of her voice as an index to sensuality rather than developing muc...

scene title:  the case of the mysterious panties performers:  kenna james, riley reid site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), zombie (ed.), ravefire63 (scr.) trailer l: kenna james, r: riley reid genre parody is such an easy way to make porn with a modicum of intelligence, it's surprising that there isn't more of it. perhaps the modicum of intelligence is the issue. the scene opens with riley reid sitting in an almost totally dark office except for convenient bars of light on her face and where the client will sit in the chair opposite, doing a bad philip marlowe impression in voiceover as kenna james walks in, distraught because her wife may be cheating on her. riley takes the case after being promised double. the budgets under which porn operates are obvious when the cheating wife she photos on a stakeout is clearly also kenna james (although the woman she's cheating with is a cameoing eliza ibarra). kenna is prese...
