What do you get when you put an all star cast of lesbian
porn stars together with a director who wants to start her new studio venture
off with a bang? You get Lesbian Slumber Party: the Kissing Game. Nica Noelle’s first feature for her new
girl-girl studio Candy Girl Films has
a lot going for it right from the start.
I had been looking forward to seeing it since the buzz started about
Nica’s new venture last fall. I had to wait quite a while to see it since it was
not released as a DVD until May and sometimes out here in the fly-over-zone we
don’t get the latest releases for a while.
But that’s fodder for another blog post.
Suffice it to say that I had high expectations for this video before I
ever opened the box or slipped the disc into my DVD player.
I was NOT disappointed.
I’ll put this up front in the review: This is some of Nica’s best work ever. If you like the lipstick lesbian genre this
video gets a strong BUY recommendation from yours truly. If you’re a fan of any of the women in the
cast you at least need to rent Lesbian
Slumber Party. I have a hunch that
this is the first in a series of slumber party themed videos along the lines of
the old Lesbian Truth or Dare series
Nica produced for Sweet Sinner. Anyway, I give this production a vigorous two
thumbs up.
As the title suggests the action surrounds a slumber
party. And what do girls at a slumber
party do (besides have lots of wet, slippery, passionate, sex I mean)? They play games. In this case it’s a kissing game. This is the device that Nica uses to get the
ball rolling which is, I suppose, an ironic turn of phrase since this is a
lesbian video and therefore a ball-free zone.
But I digress, as usual, and I use too many commas, according to a
grammar cop who frequently points out my many flaws as a writer in lengthy
e-mails devoid of capitalization and/or paragraphs. Now, where was I?
Oh yes, the kissing game.
The ladies are assembled in a comfy looking living room all in their
jammies and all ready to have some fun.
Instead of watching a scary movie (which I understand is standard fare
for real life testosterone free slumber parties) the girls decide to play a
game. Sovereign Syre suggests a kissing
game (way to go Sovereign!) and asserts that kissing is the only way to tell if
you have chemistry with someone.
Sovereign kisses several girls before locking lips with Dani
Daniels. Watch the other girls react as
the kissing goes beyond mere lip-to-lip contact. The kiss is sexy but what makes it work even
more is how the other players respond to it.
It’s priceless. Kudos to Nica for
capturing this level of detail.
Scene One:
Sovereign Sire/Dani Daniels
This kiss sets up the first scene between Dani and
Sovereign. One of the hallmarks of Nica
Noelle’s work has been her ability to pair people who have some chemistry and
then let that chemistry guide the scene.
That is the case here. Dani
Daniels is one of the hottest lesbian performers on the scene today. Her self titled video for Mason is a must see
for any fan of girl-on-girl action.
Sovereign Sire is stunningly beautiful, an awesome performer in her own
right, and a perfect match for Daniels.
Good job Nica. So far so good but
the ladies still have to perform. They do.
In spades.
They resume kissing in the hallway and continues as they move into a conveniently located bedroom. Sovereign closes the door behind her, or she
thinks she does, because as she and Dani resume kissing the door opens into the
frame. While some directors would have
called “CUT!” and reset the scene, Nica doesn’t. Her ladies are focused and having a great
time and she (wisely) lets things continue.
There is lots of kissing before any clothing is removed. In many ways this video is sort of a
combination of Lesbian Truth or Dare
and Girls Kissing Girls using the
best parts of each. These two women want each other. That’s obvious. This chemistry is what makes the scene work. There are a finite number of positions the
human body can assume for the purpose of sexual contact and even if you employ
every single one of them in a scene, without passion it’s just not that
entertaining. But when two performers
have chemistry it doesn’t really matter what else they get up to because the
scene will work. But I like to see women
kiss so I enjoyed the opening round of this bout.
Kissing continues as the two women get onto the bed (a
double bed in this case – who still has one of those?) and there’s a very
erotic piece of business with the women grinding on each other while fully
clothed. This is real making out and
well worth watching. It’s not real porn
though until the clothes start to come off and that’s the next on the
agenda. Things accelerate from that
point and the passion continues to build.
I’m surprised the camera lenses don’t fog up. The sex in this scene is as hot as it is
spontaneous. I’ll spare you the
play-by-play except to say that you’ll get all of the standard girl-girl stuff
you expect to see in a Nica Noelle directed scene except toys: kissing, pussy eating, finger banging,
tribbing, titty play, etc. Add several
tons of passion and we have a terrific opening scene.
Scene 2: Ela
Darling/Sinn Sage
Sinn Sage – what can I say that I haven’t said already in
praise of lesbian porn’s number one stud?
She’s paired here with Ela Darling, a sweet young thing who’s been in the
industry for a couple of years but has only 8 videos (all girl-girl) to her
credit, according to IAFD. This is her
first appearance in a Nica Noelle directed video and I hope we see more of
her. It is not her first pairing with
Sinn, however, as the two worked together in Girlfriends Films Lesbian Sex 2.
As we dissolve away from the post coital canoodling that
ends the first scene we’re taken back to the party in the living room. The girls are giggling about what happened
between Sovereign and Dani and Sinn suggests they keep playing and she gets
several of the girls to kiss her before landing on (figuratively speaking)
Ela. Sparks fly and the couple quickly
exits the room followed down the hall by lots of giggling from the living room,
which, by now, is a lot less crowded than at the beginning of the video. You almost wonder if the remaining girls feel
like the kid who is chosen last for kick ball…
The horny couple is soon making out on a bed (queen sized
this time) and we’re off to the races.
There’s a great sequence just after Sinn strips Ela – Sinn teases Ela’s
pussy with her tongue and the gasps this evokes are precious. Ela’s striped socks are cute too, by the
way. Sinn’s teasing doesn’t last long
and pretty soon her oral ministrations achieve the desired effect and Ela has
the first of many orgasms in the scene.
Sinn loves to top women and that is obvious here. She really gets off on making Ela get over.
Lest you think this is a one way street I should add that Ela gives as good as
she gets and Sinn is not short changed in the orgasm department. Once again great chemistry produces a great
scene (GCPGS). There’s also a great
missionary position tribbing sequence – something that has sort of become a
Sinn Sage trademark.
Scene Three: April
O’Neil and Magdalene St. Michaels
Magdalene St. Michaels plays Dani Daniels’ mother in this
feature. We see her early on as she
brings a bowl of popcorn to the girls in the living room, looks somewhat wistfully
at the assembled feminine pulchritude on display and then exits. We know, however, that this hungry cougar who
is famous for her trysts with young lesbians, will be back to capture one of
these lucky young ladies for her pleasure.
Magdalene pops into
the living room to ask if anyone wants more snacks and says, “Oh, where did
everyone go?” Samantha Ryan coyly
replies “We’re just playing a game of hide and seek.” Magdalene announces that she’s going to go
read a book in bed before going to sleep and then exits, pausing for a longing
look back into the living room before disappearing around the corner.
This look isn’t lost on April O’Neil who quickly makes an excuse to leave the room and heads straight for Magdalene’s room. Magdalene welcomes April and the two chat –
“catching up” – but we know where this is going and Nica doesn’t make us wait
TOO long for the payoff. Again it starts
with a kiss. April’s desire for
Magdalene has been obvious since we saw them exchange glances back at the
party. Now, in the privacy of
Magdalene’s room and on her bed (King size this time – interesting progression)
April goes for it and the two are soon locked in a steamy kiss.
It is always a pleasure to watch Magdalene with a younger
woman (or any woman for that matter) because she treats them so well. Her touch is sure, she knows where all the
pleasure points are, and she knows what to do when. She is not slack in pleasuring herself
either. Often when you see Magdalene going
down on another woman she has one hand between her own legs rubbing her
coochie. I’ll never forget her scene
with Sinn Sage in Mother Lovers Society 2
where Sinn is riding Magdalene’s face and Magdalene is busy eating Sinn’s pussy
and furiously rubbing her own. I
honestly don’t know who came harder in that scene. We’ll call it a tie. My point is that Magdalene really knows how
to give and receive pleasure and she enjoys it.
She enjoys it a lot. Any woman
paired with her should feel fortunate.
April is a cutie. You
just want to eat her up so it’s easy to put ourselves in Magdalene’s place in
terms of what we want to do to April.
Once again a masterful pairing by Nica Noelle. Usually, Magdalene takes the lead in her
scenes, but not this time. April is in
the drivers’ seat at least to start and she has her face between Magdalene’s
legs before her own clothes are even disturbed.
This is a temporary situation, however, and the tables are soon
turned. This is an incredibly hot scene
with several extended tribbing sequences – these ladies just can’t stop
muffin-bumpin’. Lots of kissing, tons of
passion, and great chemistry make this a terrific scene.
Scene Four:
Samantha Ryan/Skin Diamond/Lacie James
Meanwhile, back in the living room, the three remaining
women, Samantha, Lacie, and Skin, chuckle a little uncomfortably about having
been ditched by the others. An awkward
(intentionally, and for effect) conversation ensues. Lacie suggests that Ryan and Diamond are
interested in each other, an assertion denied (but not too vigorously) by the
other two. Lacie further suggests that
the other two feel threatened by the conversation and by the kissing game. The gauntlet having been thrown down, Samantha
and Skin have no choice but to kiss, which is a good thing because without this
kiss there would be no fourth scene in the video.
Lacie James is a relative newcomer to adult and I believe
this is her first girl-girl performance.
She has worked with Nica Noelle before having appeared in The Masseuse 2 for Sweet Sinner.
Three way girl-girl scenes can be awkward – how do you
develop real intimacy? How are they
based on anything but lust? One on one
chemistry can be complicated. Those
complications are, at least, cubed, when it’s three women (or three men for
that matter). I think it’s easier when
it’s an MFM, MMF, FFM, or FMF threesome but I can’t really explain why I feel
that way so I’ll move on. Let’s just say
that Nica left herself a real challenge for the last scene in this video.
So, Lacie has coerced Samantha and Skin into kissing. The kiss starts out about as tentative as a
kiss can be and still be called a kiss – nicely played by Skin and Samantha –
but quickly escalates. Lacie is left to
watch as passion blooms between the other two.
This goes on for several minutes (kudos to Nica for letting this develop
nicely) before Skin and Samantha come up for air and look sheepishly at Lacie
who, wisely, decides not to say “I told you so.”
Perhaps as a reward for her perspicacity, Samantha and Skin
turn their attention to her. Skin kisses
Lacie while Samantha begins caressing her.
What could have been an awkward moment turns into an explosion of
passion between the three women. There
will be no third wheel here. My doubts
are proven unfounded (as is often the case).
There’s a lot of kissing and then the clothes come off. Well, after that, it’s Katie bar the door…the
party is ON. Think of all the things
three women can do together, sexually, without resort to appliances,
vegetables, or plastic. That still
leaves a pretty broad range of options.
We get most of them here.
Wow. These three ladies have a
great time together and it’s a fun scene to watch.
Final Thoughts
If you are a fan of the lipstick lesbian genre you need to
own this video. It’s worth watching
again and again. I have, and will watch
it again. I usually pick a favorite
scene but I really can’t this time. Nica
Noelle wanted to come roaring out of the starting gate with her new company and
she definitely achieved that with this video.
I realize my review is rather late, but if you haven’t seen this movie
yet and you like girl-on-girl passion with lots of kissing and lots of orgasms,
you need to see it. It is, at the very
least, worth a rental.
Good camera work, lighting, audio, and editing. The setups are not taxing for the performers
and come off as natural. There’s some
humor. As is usual with Nica Noelle
directed videos the scenes develop on their own without any apparent outside
influence. No one looks at the camera or
otherwise breaks the third wall.
I’m on a hunt for more Ela Darling material. She impressed me. This video had a lot going for it coming in given
who is in it and as I said at the top I was not disappointed.
Nica has set the bar fairly high with this first video for
her new company. It will be interesting
to see how she goes about clearing the bar with further Girl Candy
features. I’m looking forward to seeing
them when they finally arrive here in the fly-over zone…
