the whole shebang

scene title:  boobs date performers:  stacy cruz, sybil site:  ultra films production credits:  fredy riger (dir.) trailer r: stacy cruz, l: sybil i've not paid much attention to ultra films before now, supposing they would be just another fly-by-night "sensual" "erotic" euro site that shuttered before long. i'm still not wholly taken with them (they have never, so far as i can tell, hired a non-white woman), but this scene impressed the hell out of me. the premise was a bit thin: sybil a (ukrainian, four years' experience) is supposedly doing makeup for stacy cruz (czech, three years' experience), and asks if she can take pictures for her instagram. they pose for selfies, compliment each other, giggle, and sybil mentions how nice stacy's breasts are. (she's not wrong.) this is the second time this month a european girl/girl scene has maneuvered its way into sexual arenas by one woman expressing surprise that another woman...

scene title:  the chat room incident performers:  india summer, shyla jennings site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., ed., scr.) trailer l: shyla jennings, r: india summer i have to admit i was a little bit disappointed when this popped up as the next update on allherluv: shyla and india have been paired together four times in the last five months on the site (not to mention once on girlsway in the same period), and as a fan of variety, i'm a little put off by the missa x model of production, which is to shoot several scenes with the same performers over the course of a day or two. i get why she does it that way, since it's the most efficient way to use the performers who fly out to wisconsin to shoot for her sites, but it does mean that when it's a pairing i've seen several times before, i start out with a slight grudge against it. but this scene overcame that. i've written here in favor of zippy editing before, but i actu...

scene title:  sexy finger lickin' session performers:  sarah vandella, kate kennedy site:  zero tolerance production credits:  mike quasar (dir.) trailer l: kate kennedy, r: sarah vandella if the first scene from is it wrong she's my stepmom? 3 fell down on the performances, and the second scene fell down on the editing, the third one falls down on the lighting. i appreciate the attempt to give each scene a distinct visual identity, from the green of scene one to the orange of scene two, but the muted marble brown that dominates here is not only less visually striking, but because of the heavy shadows that fall across the room, it's muddy and indistinct. the performer's faces are often in shadow, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it were done artfully and intentionally, but here it just seems sloppy, as though someone forgot to turn on an overhead light. (of course i don't know the limitations they had on the day. this may be the bes...

scene title:  women seeking women #152 [scene 1] performers:  alana cruise, ella knox site:  girlfriends films production credits:  b. skow (dir.) trailer l: ella knox, r: alana cruise another girlfriends movie with proper color grading! whatever is the world coming to. it remains just as stupid and unconvincing as any girlfriends release, but opening with ella knox and jenna foxx getting ready for a company party is kind of nice: they may both be relatively light-skinned, but they are women of color, and that's not really been an element of girlfriends' brand in recent years. (two decades of shitty, dingy lighting will do that. so will the fundamental racism of the core girl/girl audience.) the party, hosted by bosses alana cruise and ryan keely, is transparently an effort to get the younger women into bed, a reveal which would be funny if the script weren't so weird and artificial and the pacing so interminable: girlfriends scenes would be enormou...

scene title:  substitute submissive performers:  jessica fox, arabelle raphael site:  ts pussy hunters  ◅  kink production credits:  cherry torn (dir.) trailer l: arabelle raphael, r: jessica fox i'm having to play a bit of catch-up here, as i didn't realize that kink had a trans girl/cis girl brand until i was well into the month, so i might say things about kink in later posts which don't fit this scene. caveat lector. thanks to the dungeon setting, i was bracing myself for a certain amount of extreme fetish play, because it's kink, but some light flogging with clothes still on was the extent of the bdsm here; otherwise it was simply a straightforward sex scene, and one that both participants seemed to truly enjoy. which is a bit sad, that the mere act of enjoyable sex involving a trans woman is still considered so transgressive that it shows up on kink right alongside hogtying, speculum-gaping, and whipping. there was a pretense towar...

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:  anal stretching performers:  candy bell, dorothy black site:  sapphic erotica production credits:  none listed trailer l: dorothy black, r: candy bell i have, in the past, not cared much for the output of sapphicerotica. like a lot of european websites, it's short on narrative and long on room tone, overlit and amateurishly shot, with the same models everyone else uses again and again. that's all still the case here, but i enjoyed it a lot anyway. most of that is due to the central performances. dorothy black is a veteran of twenty years' experience, and candy bell has been working since 2014, and both of them have primarily shot girl/girl for the past few years, so they know what they're doing. they're also both hungarian, although their limited dialogue is in english. candy's sly smile does a lot of narrative work here, as she looks like she's having a lot of fun teasing and pleasing dorothy. after the usual awkward setup in...

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:  breakfast with my friend - part 2 performers:  sovereign syre, penny pax site:  sweetheart video (mile high) production credits:  ricky greenwood (dir.), sean aitch (ed.), maddy barton (scr.) trailer l: sovereign syre, r: penny pax the follow-up to the charlotte stokely/serene siren scene, in which sovereign syre and penny pax, playing girlfriends who have known each other since childhood but got together relatively recently, languorously discuss the conversation they had at breakfast with charlotte and serene, once more gesturing towards a faint hint of jealousy in order to pretend that there's an undercurrent of emotion to the scene. but soon enough they just turn to expressing affection which leads, naturally, to analingus-heavy sex. both sovereign and penny are pros, with a combined two decades of having sex on camera, and they're also experienced and intelligent enough to be able to improvise dialogue naturally, apparently sp...

scene title:  locker room lesbian fun performers:  mercedes carrera, lyra law, emma hix, olive glass site:  zero tolerance production credits:  mike quasar (dir.) trailer l to r: lyra law, mercedes carrera, olive glass, emma hix although this is one of the longest scenes i've reviewed so far on the site, the review will be brief. there's little to say. i'm using the "recycled" tag for anything that was released on dvd before being posted on websites for streaming or download, and this is one of the oldest scenes yet: its parent dvd, lesbian gym teacher gangbang, was released in april 2018. it barely counts as new, but because it hasn't been available in any format higher than 480p before now, i'm reviewing it. mercedes carrera (whose politics i despise, but about whose guilt or innocence of the current charges against her i am unwilling to speculate) plays the gym teacher ravished in the locker room by her three students, none of whom are ...

scene title:  rocky loves kate obsession performers:  kate kennedy, rocky emerson site:  spizoo production credits:  none listed trailer l: kate kennedy, r: rocky emerson i've talked at length about my feelings on gonzo already; and if mason at lesbianx produces some of the best gonzo in porn, the mostly uncredited and wildly variable production crews that produce content for spizoo produce some of the most consistently mediocre gonzo. which is a shame, because i like the ethos behind spizoo a lot: founded by 2000s-era porn legend jessica jaymes, it's closer to a partnership with the performers who use the service to host their content than it is a corporate employer of talent. but not every performer has the best eye for or interest in quality control; so spizoo's output is, as i say, variable. i know kate kennedy and rocky emerson more by reputation than through having seen much of their work; they seem like perfectly lovely people, and fully e...

scene title:  straight until wet performers:  mia lelani, brooklyn gray site:  mylfed  ◅  mylf (paper street) production credits:  none listed trailer r: brooklyn gray, l: mia lelani the last time i reviewed a scene featuring mia lelani, i said that if the baseline for competent porn was that good, the industry would be in much better shape. the baseline for competent porn, however, is much closer to this. an excruciatingly prolonged setup in which none of the people involved act like people actually would, clothing that nobody who isn't in a porn would be caught dead wearing, sexuality introduced not because it arises from the situation but because it's a porn so it has to, a generic upper-middle-class setting that for some reason still echoes like a warehouse, the premise entirely abandoned after thirty seconds of over-the-top moaning, ridiculous positions on the most uncomfortable possible surfaces that go on forever, choppy edits that ...

scene title:  lesbian legal #14 [scene 1] performers:  serene siren, lila fray site:  girlfriends films production credits:  b. skow (dir.) trailer l: lila fray, r: serene siren well, i'll be damned. a girlfriends scene, a girlfriends movie even, with actual color grading. lesbian legal #14 was released on dvd in september 2018, so my ugly suspicion that a certain unemployed girl/girl director had migrated somewhere where production credits don't get posted can be allayed. not that anyone could mistake this for a girlsway scene: the pre-sex performances are still just as stilted and awkward, the camera work as profoundly uninteresting, and the script just as literal and entertainment-free as the classic girlfriends i know and love to hate. even so, the loss of the dingy, grimy encrustation that has been girlfriends' visual signature for so long transforms my basic sympathy for the scene: now, rather than loathing it on sight and grudgingly admitti...

scene title:  piano pussy practice performers:  nicolette shea, jade baker site:  hot and mean  ◅  brazzers (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: jade baker, r: nicolette shea with her platinum hair, enhanced chest, and amazonian stature, nicolette shea is something of a throwback to the contract stars of the 1990s in an era of slim teens and well-preserved milfs. since the 1990s was when i was of an age to start taking notice of porn, i have a kind of self-indulgent admiration for ms. shea, despite the fact that i don't think i've ever fully respected a scene she's appeared in. she's frequently cast in roles where she physically dominates smaller, younger performers, and while i don't necessarily have an amazon kink i can't deny that the sheer visual contrast is arresting. jade baker isn't particularly tiny, but she is still putty in nicolette's hands here, as her facility with "brazzers face" (the shocked an...

scene title:  use my shower and my slit performers:  alexa grace, kimmy granger site:  we live together  ◅  reality kings (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: alexa grace, r: kimmy granger i'd been waiting for a mindgeek scene to show just how mediocre they can get, and i should have known it would come from reality kings. we live together was once a legendary girl-girl brand, one of the first "reality" sites which in the mid-2000s featured the same two girls every episode picking up a third, bringing her back home with them, and fucking her brains out. even after that limited concept ran its course, it was still a solid site for a time, when french director greg lansky was shooting fashion-forward scenes in interesting locations. but these days, as one of two girl/girl brands in the reality kings megasite (the other being moms lick teens), it has no real identity: it seems that anything that's not glam enough for twistys...

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:  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...
