Lesbian Love, Vol. 1

Judging by her coming attraction trailers, director Julie Simone is a trailblazer in lesbian BDSM kink, touching many bases ranging from bondage to the oddity of cigaret smoking (I guess Bogey was a '40s fetishist by that definition). She's more mainstream in this early video, a stinker.

Her "Breaking Berlin" is a good introduction to the weird Simone world. But here we have lesbian actresses going through the generic moves, without anything interesting in terms of a story or characterization that you will find in a random Girlfriends or Sweetheart release. Dana DeArmond is always fun to watch, irrespective of who's directing her (she reminds me of similarly irreverent Klaus Kinski in this regard. Here she's paired with nerdy Reagan Maddux in a stupid humping on the dinner table vignette that could put getting kids to hit the books and study back 50 years.

An actress whose name at least stopped me in my tracks, Scar 13, has a retro Twiggy look about her, in a no-dialog, all-sex vignette opposite the experienced Ariel X. Perhaps they were cast together to segregate the screwball names members of the cast, though for all I know Ariel was a big fan of Betty Shabazz. At any rate, Scar has an underage look, and their teaming provides plenty of soft-core and foot fetish action.

Hot Oriental actress Lielani is introduced oiling up her nipples in the kitchen, not a bad starting point for sex. Maximum casting contrasts brings in superstar dom Aiden Starr as they have sex in the kitchen, with perhaps a new concept: bacon fetish. (Cupcakes and other baked goods are an established fetish for some oddball reason, so why not aromatic food like bacon?)

Finale has plenty of fingering and dildo action from Gia Paloma and Michelle Aston. This segment is notable for resurrecting a dated ploy best left to prehistoric stag movies: Aston plays a female TV repair "man" -quite butch and unappealing (she's the cover girl on a kink video titled "Sex Oddities #2"). Second gimmick is extreme foot fetish action, with the foot used like Long Jeanne Silver's stump as a dildo. Now that's the Julie Simone we know and love at work!
