Smoke-O-Rama

The disputable fetish known as "Girls smoking cigarettes" is trotted out by quirky pornographer Elizabeth Starr in "Smoke-O-Rama", at least truth in labeling, which makes sense in dealing with so regulated a topic as cigarettes. She may get an E for effort, but a Zero for Conduct.

The hour-long exercise is about as action packed as an early '60s Warhol picture. Four segments show actresses dressed up in vaguely '40s lingerie and underwear, constantly lighting and smoking cigarettes and cigarillos, often using long holders. A brief fingering herself masturbation segment by Annie Body pushes the very dull video into the hardcore porn camp. Otherwise it would have to be considered squeaky clean; Starr in fact never even takes off her brassiere to reveal those huge fake tits (though the projectile/missiles bra is more erotic than nudity, especially to fetishists.

She is joined on-screen by Annie for the finale, but neither woman touches each other, their close proximity in the frame hardly enough to qualify this as lesbian content. It's merely a still-born idea, like much of fetish video more suited to still photography and those photo sets of old which constituted the porn for generations before moving pictures (apart from stag films) went XXX.
