One of the problems with technology today is that it has become so cheap and so available that it’s an awful lot like some of the girls you probably knew in high school. That’s not what I was originally going to say, but the line pretty much wrote itself. Seriously though, it has become so cheap and available that any knuckle butt with a few greenbacks to rub together can fancy himself a filmmaker. What that does, in conjunction with the prevalence of self-publishing sites and YouTube sites and all that mumbo-jumbo, is water down the medium with a shit-ton of crap.
Let’s take that premise one step further. Porn movies have always been considered a few rungs below mainstream filmmaking in overall quality. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of treasures among the trash as our VOD would attest, but in the mind’s eye of the general populous it’s pretty abysmal. So, with the glut of cameras dotting the landscape, it only stands to reason that porn is not immune from being watered down by shit-tons of crap either.
Frankly, I have a theory that Gonzo porn was invented just so movie houses could figure out a way to profit from junk filmmaking. You can almost hear the conversation at the executive meetings:
CEO: Gentlemen, we have a problem. We’ve got all this shitty porn flooding the market and it’s eating up our profit margins. What do we do?
Executive 1: Go into another line of business?
CEO: You’re fired. Anyone else?
Executive 2: We could create a new category of porn and call it “shitty porn”
CEO: If you know it’s shitty and you call it shitty, who’s going to watch? We need a name that sounds cool, even though we all know it refers to something shitty.
Executive 3: How about Gonzo?
CEO: You mean like gonzo journalism and Hunter S. Thompson?
Executive 3: No, like Gonzo the Muppet. Everyone loves Muppets. Not everyone likes Hunter S. Thompson.
CEO: Excellent point. All in favor say “aye”.
Executive 2: Aye.
Executive 3: Aye.
Executive 1: Aye.
CEO: Didn’t I just fire you?
So anyway, back to the original topic. Over the past decade, Gonzo filmmaking sort of took over the medium to the chagrin of many both inside and out of the industry. Naturally, the style started to wear thin on the porn-watching public and the demand for something else arose.
If you’re a regular reader or just a part-time peruser of these reviews, you’ve no doubt come across write-ups of movies from companies like Sweet Sinner and Sweetheart Video and others that are all about a more real and raw type of porn. What you see in these films is so beautiful and natural that it barely qualifies as pornography. You know how women make a keen distinction between sex and making love? These films are like that. The only reason this stuff is not shown on the National Geographic channel or something similar is because of our repressed societal views on sex in general. Well, that and because the protagonists aren’t ibexes.
With the growing allure of natural-type porn, the mainstream companies have been getting in on the act. Elegant Angel is one of them. Their Club 59 imprint was created as a lesbian brand, shot exclusively in HD, to show off girls loving other girls as only girls can. There are no “scenarios” and no hokie, porn-y type stuff. There are, however, very revealing mini-interviews with the girls discussing their likes and dislikes and what turns them on about other women. After that, it’s girl-on-girl intimacy at its finest. And, boy, did they ever deliver with their Girl Crush series.
In just its second installment, director Mason has paired up some unbelievable women. Then again, Elegant Angel has never had a problem ushering in some of the sexiest, sassiest women ever to fuck…ahem…make love on screen.
Kristina Rose and Georgia Jones pair up in the first scene. Georgia is the antithesis of everything manly. She loves different body styles: apples, pears…whatever. Men are interested in the cherries. She likes intuitiveness. Men prefer “do-it-iveness.” She prefers individualism. Guys tend to love girls operating as a collective, especially in this particular scene with Kristina Rose. For Kristina it’s about the little things during lovemaking, also very unlike guys and their focus on the big things. She likes kisses planted in just the right places and the emotion of an encounter. What you’ll want to see: Georgia’s face rooted in Kristina’s crotch, tongue in pussy and nose bridge-deep in pubes. You should also watch the two of them operate out of the spoon position as Georgia skulks behind Kristina, reaching between her open thighs and fingering her wet snatch.
Lily Labeau you may recall from an amazing scene in Mother-Daughter Exchange Club 13. Here she gets it on with Andy San Dimas. Lily likes the sensual aspects of lesbian love. Andy likes the fact Lily is cuddly and warm and soft. What you’ll want to see (besides Lily’s amazing ass and tits): After scissoring each other like animals, Lily lies on her back, holding open her pussy lips so Andy’s tongue can taste her wetness. You’ll also want to see Andy sitting on Lily’s face, literally bursting into tears of ecstasy while Lily laps at her folds like a cat to a water dish.
Allie Haze is gorgeous and sort of resembles Tori Black in some ways. She was a lesbian before she was bi-sexual, admitting to sucking her first dick and then turning the other way. At least she came around somewhat. She is attracted to kissing and thinks women are better kissers than men. Chloe Cane’s first experience with a girl was back in high school during senior graduation. She wasn’t actually graduating from school, but attended the post party as a junior. It was there her friend came out of the closet and made her desires known. Chloe is all grown up now and through her experiences has become quite the lover. What you’ll want to see: Allie slip two fingers knuckle-deep into Chloe’s pussy and finger fuck all of her tension away. Also, make certain not to miss Chloe do her best Rug Doctor imitation on Allie’s pube-covered muff.
Finally, there is Karlie Montana and Hayden Winters. Karlie is all about a girl’s silky, “yummy smelly” skin and the nape of the neck. Her first experience with a girl dates back to kindergarten, but that was just kissing so she’s unsure if that counts. Hayden thinks girls just know what other girls like because they are girls. They’re gentler and they know all the right spots to address. What you’ll want to see: Damn near everything! From Karlie’s 70s-era pale blue shorts creeping up her crack, to watching her nuzzle and kiss Hayden’s insanely gorgeous rack, to Karlie fingering Hayden’s love groove through her ultra-violet panties, to watching her finger fuck Hayden to orgasm, to a hot mutual masturbation scene where the two share a kiss, to the simultaneous orgasms at the end this scene, it is perhaps the best of the lot. There is a reason these two snagged the box cover slot.
It goes without saying (though we’re going to say it) that this film is blisteringly hot. As alluded to earlier, there is no cheesy music or any other distractions to take your attention away from where it should be: on the girls. The only sounds you’ll hear are lips meeting lips, tongues submerged in damp pools of love juice, short, quick breaths and audible climaxes. It really doesn’t get much better than this. If you’re into lesbian films and realness with your porn, this film is a must-see.

CANNES, France—Drive, a dark horse entry that features two adult performers, will be screened in a competition slot at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, which runs May 11-22. As reported by AVN last year, the Nicolas Winding Refn-directed thriller includes the mainstream debut of adult stars Bobbi Starr and Andy San Dimas, who share the screen with Hollywood luminaries Ryan Gosling, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston and Christina Hendricks.
At the time, San Dimas did not know much about her character—neither she nor Starr had shot their scenes yet—but was thrilled to have the gig.
The site continues, “The script, by Hossein Amini, is lean and mean, and Gosling’s description of the project as ‘Blue Velvet meets Purple Rain‘ only piqued our interest further, and that was before this morning’s announcement that the film would premiere in competition at Cannes.”
