What is it about women kissing that turns us on so
much? One answer might be “who cares?” But the erotic power of women pressing their
lips together, tongues probing, breath quickening, flesh trembling, is
undeniable. Nica Noelle certainly knew
that when she started this series with volume one back in 2008. Since taking over the franchise, Dana Vespoli
has not only maintained the original series intent but has managed to intensify
it.
Girls Kissing Girls 11
is a triumphant portrayal of Sapphic sexuality featuring a group of
osculatrixes (yes, I just made up that word) who not only love kissing but know
how to do it well. And if kissing was
the only thing they did well this would still be a good video. Fortunately there’s more to it than
that. Ms. Vespoli unleashes all of her
storytelling and directorial powers here and gives us great scenes full of
passion, eroticism, and lust, all the while maintaining the romantic ethos
suggested by the idea of women kissing.
Artistically, this video starts with a bang up montage
backed by Skin Diamond reading from an erotic novel about women kissing. As she’s reading we see, in succession, each
of the pairs of women who will appear.
As trailers go this one can actually stand by itself as a solid piece of
erotica.
The pairings are crucial to a video like this one and
Vespoli doesn’t put a foot wrong in any of them. So as Warner Wolf always used to say, “let’s
go to the video tape.”
Scene One: Lily La
Beau and Janessa Jordan
Lily La Beau has a crush on Janessa Jordan. Janessa doesn’t know this. The only reason we know it is tha the scene
opens with Lily journaling and describing her feelings. Lily’s mother calls and Lily heads out. Meanwhile, Janessa shows up and sees the
journal where Lily has left it, and discovers Lily’s secret. Lily catches Janessa in the act of reading
the diary and, as you might expect, she’s embarrassed. Fortunately for us, Janessa isn’t squicked by
Lily’s feelings, and, (hooray!) they kiss.
(sigh) And, the rest, as they say, is history.
The speed with which they go from awkward to full on lust is
a bit hard on my sense of credulity, but this isn’t Downton Abbey, it’s
porn. Things don’t have to make
sense. The passion is palpable, the
flesh is lovely to behold, and there’s plenty of kissing to go along with the
theme and title of the video.
Scene Two:
Samantha Ryan and Skin Diamond
Samantha Ryan is one of the most underappreciated and under
recognized women in adult. She is an
artist in her own right, she’s beautiful, she’s graceful, she can act, and she’s
got brains. I have always admired her work and her name
on a video box is guaranteed to get my attention. Skin Diamond is an exotic beauty with charisma
to spare, gigawatts of erotic energy, and feline grace. The idea of these two women in the same scene
made this video a must have for me. I
wasn’t disappointed.
Samantha is an erotic writer for this scene, and Skin is
doing an interview. At least she is
supposed to be doing an interview.
Sometimes it seems like Ryan is the one doing the interviewing. Samantha gets Skin to read (aloud) what she
sees as her favorite passage from one of Samantha’s novels, which she
does. Ryan uses this as an opportunity
to make her move, quickly seducing the younger woman. This is one f the most effective scene
set-ups I’ve ever watched. It’s short
and believable. It gets us into the
action without making us cringe. And, if
you’ve ever watched Samantha Ryan kiss you’ll agree that she’s one of the most
erotic kissers in porn.
There’s a fire in the background but it can’t compete with
the heat generated by these two lovely ladies.
Vepoli lets them take the scene wherever it wants to go, a good
directorial decision on her part, and it pays off as we get a highly
passionate, erotically charged scene featuring two of porndom’s loveliest
lasses. There’s plenty of clothed teasing
and, of course, lots and lots of kissing.
But more than that these two make me believe that there’s no place they’d
rather be and nothing they’d rather be doing than ravishing each other. And, that, dear
reader, is all we can ask from a porn performance.
Scene Three: Sandy
and Chastity Lynn
What can I say about Chastity Lynn that hasn’t already been
said a hundred times? She’s a total
cutie pie and that makes the level of sexual depravity of which she is capable all
the more erotic for being so unexpected.
She is, however, quite capable, as demonstrated in this scene, of
delivering a romantic and nuanced performance as well. Her partner here, Sandy, who I first saw in Lesbian Analingus is a gorgeous
Hungarian import with more than 90 performances to her credit. How I managed to miss her until this year
will have to remain a mystery.
Chastity is in coltish-little-girl-mode to kick off this
scene. She’s swimming laps, or
something, while Sandy lays sunning her lovely backside and reading a
magazine. Each sneaks looks at the other
and we catch them at it. Chastity
emerges from the pool and we learn that it’s Sandy’s pool and she’s letting
Chastity use it. Chastity is about to
leave when Sandy asks the younger woman to “put some lotion on my back,” which,
next to the offer of a massage, is one of the oldest seduction tricks in the
world. She compliments Sandy on her
skin, and an awkward moment ensues, with Chastity playing the shy young thing
to perfection, allowing herself to be seduced by the lovely Sandy.
I should note here that I haven’t, traditionally, been a big
fan of Eurogirls in porn. Too much
playing to the camera and contrived passion for me. If you like, I’ll give you a list of scenes
that illustrate my point, but I won’t print them here. I say that to say this – Sandy defies my
stereotypes utterly. Her raw sexuality
is more than a match for Chastity’s well played inexperience and the result is
a total pants tightener – DAMN. The
passion starts out hot and works its way past inferno to super nova before the
bikinis even come off. Sandy plays
Chastity like a fiddle and it’s all the more powerful because we’ve seen
Chastity do this to other women in other scenes. Eventually the kissing couple moves to a
nearby bedroom (thank goodness!) where Chastity worships Sandy’s beauty and is
well rewarded. Whew. I felt rewarded too -- also sweaty and badly
in need of a shower – by the time this scene faded to black.
Scene Four: Sinn
Sage and Gracie Glam
Sinn Sage and just about any female porn star you can name
would be a top scene. But when you
combine Sinn with someone like Gracie Glam, well, my goodness, it’s
explosive.
Sinn has just returned from a year in the third world
building houses. We see her as she is
reunited with her bestie Gracie Glam.
Sinn is acting all weird and shit and then she suddenly outs herself as
a lesbian, expecting Gracie to freak out, which, thank goodness, she doesn’t. On the other hand she goes right to the edge
of protesting her un-freaked-ness too much, as in, “I’m saying I’m not freaked
out, but, day-um, I sure as hell would have liked some warning.” If anything, Sinn is the one who is
freaked. Even after admitting her love
for other women and getting a totally affirming response, she’s still upset
about something. What is it? Can it be that she has feelings for her best
friend and is nervous about losing that friendship? Probably.
It falls to Gracie to break the ice and there’s an excellent closeup of
that first, tentative, kiss. It’s a kiss
that quickly escalates into a full on lip lock and we’re off to the races.
From this point things proceed along the usual high energy
Sinn Sage scene path – a path I never get tired of no matter how many times I’ve
seen it. I can’t think of any other
woman in girl-girl porn who is as passionately into women as Sinn Sage. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any – it just
means I haven’t seen them. And as for
Gracie Glam, she’s a sexual fireball all on her own. But what about chemistry? No worries – there’s a whole laboratory full
of chemistry in this amazing closing scene.
Oh my yes, there’s chemistry here.
And, since this is a Sinn Sage scene, we are treated to multiple
tribbing sequences (yes!) and lots and lots of lustful eye contact and
intensity.
Final Thoughts
By the time I finished this one, dear reader, I was a mess. I needed a shower, a drink, and a nap, in
that order. I also needed a major
replenishment of fluids. So, I think it’s
safe to say that I liked this video and that I have no difficulty in
recommending it to you for purchase or rental.
The camera work, lighting, sound, and editing are all first
rate. Vespoli has a great eye and her
shot choices are spot on (or at least I agree with them – your mileage may
vary). She has chosen a great cast and
let them have at it. It’s another great
episode in this series, which I hope continues to many more volumes.
