Kinky View

Skin Diamond, her career riding very high of late, is the hostess of Kinky View, presented by Penthouse Variations, though the new folks running the porn label have very sloppily dropped the identifying sub-labels like Variations, Letters and Forum from all their DVD packaging. You have to watch the video (like I do) to discern which is which, unlike the clearly segregated product of a decade ago.

The kinkiness factor here is minimal, especially in light of the numerous BDSM assignments Diamond has excelled in of late. Opening segment has her depicting her love of latex, certainly a fetish content but not much happens. She brandishes a riding crop, but only has straight sex with Ryan McLane, qualifying as IR action but no more.

For the remaining vignettes Skin acts as host, voicing over exposition in the form of letters from readers and/or stories in the format of Penthouse's "Variations" magazine. Other actresses depict the story lines, which are rather uneventful and ho-hum.

Carter Cruise wields a truly huge strap-on dildo to impale Jade Nile, who can only take a tiny portion of it in a lesbian tryst that is par for the course for CC. Layla Sin is worshiped by Jay Smooth who has a serious foot fetish in a segment that very closely resembles director Skye Blue's vignettes for Playgirl that she made a decade ago.

Delilah Blue gets a mild spanking with his belt from Aaron Wilcoxxx in a by-the- numbers segment. Finale gives Spanish star Alexa Tomas (here anglicized in the credits to "Thomas") a Chatsworth assignment involving various nipple clamps, wielded by Marco Banderas.
