Re: Funky Fetish Horror Show / Broken Dreams / The Secret Delights Of Baroness Kinky



A scene which, for better or for worse, is a typical illustration of Kovi's handling of light S/M themes in the 'Pirate Fetish Machine' series is 'Metal Dominas' from the film, 'Funky Fetish Horror Show' (dvd scene selection 2).

Lolita and Myli are a pair of full-bodied blonde bitches who strut through a big bacofoil set while blue and violet lights sweep to and fro across the shimmering space in disco style. Myli wields a whip while Lolita carries a crop. The girls are snarling and directing mean looks at the kneeling slaveboy who's trapped at their mercy behind bars in a kennel-shaped cage. I'm not sure who this poor chap is, for the process of elimination which I tried to apply to the male cast list in the film's 'Production Notes', using some prior knowledge of who's who, left me, still, with two possibilities: I think the guy must be either Diether Von Stein or Zolee.

The girls begin to swipe at him with their instruments of punishment, but they do so in a fashion which is at best halfhearted and which gives rise to the suspicion that despite their domina bravado they are, at heart, as soft as pussy cats. It's less a flogging than a flicking. In any event, the hunk is humbled. The chief humiliation is probably his costume. Manly though this prisoner is - what with his aggressive flat top and ample hard muscle - he undeniably looks silly and camp in his shiny briefs, ankle boots, arm bands and body straps.

Myli attaches a chain to his dog collar, then she tugs him out of his kennel and leads him around on all fours. Lolita straddles him and eggs him on by giving his haunches a tap or two with her crop. They push his head into a bowl of dog biscuits, then they force him to kneel upright and to waggle his forearms and wrists around for them in imitation of a performing circus hound. After a further round of prodding and goading, Myli lies back on the top surface of a cage and Lolita pulls the slave across it, in between Myli's legs, so that he can begin to lick her out. So begins the sex, and the scene never looks back...

Personally I would love to see Private offer a more elegant and understated fetish line. I always found Kovi's offerings brash and garish and almost science fictional in look - too much emphasis on bacofoil costuming and freakish make-up and hairstyles. Occasionally imaginative, but for me a guaranteed wood-slayer.

As I say, I'd love to see a toned-down fetish film, perhaps with a restrained (pardon the pun), aristocratic flavour. Beautiful women; cigarette holders; stately homes; heels; stockings; bullwhips; riding crops; floggings for the young maid; cat o' nine tails for the butler; sperm and silverware; corrupted innocence and the cold, disdainful cruelty of the English upper class, what Ian Fleming called "Sex, snobbery and sadism".

How about it, Private? I'll write the script!



My reply:


Flashboy, have you tried any of the early 'Pirate Video Productions', directed by Frank Thring? Some of these have understated scenes which achieve a moody intensity. They may be more to your taste, and they're now available on dvd. Check out 'Broken Dreams', for example, which stars the sexy but soulful Miralda, and is set in an Austrian country mansion. Miralda's persona has about it the same 'film noir' whiff of abused vulnerability which Ian Fleming wrote into many of his girl characters for the James Bond novels.

The style of the 'Pirate Video Productions' is usually much lower-key than the style of the 'Pirate Fetish Machine' series - but personally I like this later range too, and I enjoy the lurid cyberbabe look that it often gives to the girls.



Originally posted by Flashboy:


Hi Baskkk, yes I vividly recall Broken Dreams. It came very close to the ambience I'm after - particularly in the opening scene, where Miralda's tool-troubling derriere is perfectly accentuated by jodpuhrs (a personal fetish of mine).

I like the sound of the upcoming fetish epics. 'House Of The She Wolves' sounds fantastically pulpy, while Thring's 'Secret Delights of Baroness Kinky' sounds as if it's close to my decadent aristo fantasies (Thring has a tendency toward the great British tradition of the Carry On in his movies, but hopefully he's playing this one pretty straight, a la Broken Dreams). If not, hand me a camcorder, a riding crop and some chambermaids and I'll make you a classic!



My reply:


I agree that the sight of Miralda in jodhpurs is totally intoxicating! I like the melancholy sequence at the beginning of 'Broken Dreams' where she trudges through snow and then pauses to gaze wistfully at the mansion, reminiscing about happier times... Thring's camera is soon making the most of Miralda's bottom, which is tightly sheathed in the jodhpurs, and before we know it the subtle sense of sadness in the scene has given way to overpowering lust...

I think that Thring's 'Carry On...' phase is found mostly in his movies for the later range, 'Pirate Video Deluxe'. I share your hope that Thring will return to a more serious note in his new work.

Despite the fetish trappings, 'Pirate' movies have always been primarily about the sex, of course - the sucking, fucking, anal and cumshot routines such as we find in all releases from Private. Those of us who relish porn which indulges fetish practises like spanking and humiliation as ends in themselves have to go elsewhere to find it... I, too, have a penchant for pervy Victoriana, cruel masters and whipped young parlour maids!



There's a scene in ‘The Secret Delights Of Baroness Kinky’ where Zora Banks whacks Frank Thring's bare ass with a crop really hard, several times. It's all over with fairly quickly, but it's the hardest spanking stuff I've ever seen in a Private movie - quite close in its effect to 'spanking genre' material which some other producers specialise in. Kinky indeed!

I'd just like to say how disappointed I was with Frank Thing's Lady of the Rings. I don't know if it was constantly horribly cold or something when they made it, but neither the men or women looked vaguely interested in the sex they were having in any scene.

Shame...



My reply:

Belatedly, I've bought and caught up with 'Lady Of The Rings', 1 & 2. It was a memory of imalius's feedback that put me off buying these movies earlier. But I have to disagree with his comment: I've really enjoyed both films. Simony Diamond is a delight, as is Lara Stevens. Saana looks impressive as a fantasy blonde warrior-chick, and Silvia Saint is first-rate 'eye candy' even though she's retired from on-screen cock action and only does girl / girl. 'Dirty Frank Thring' helps himself to one of his cameo cumshots - over the delectable Lilane Tiger - and who can blame him? Johanna is a nice mover, but beneath her make-up she seems to have had a bit of an acne problem. The stunning Simony and the energetic Lara are my definite favourites. Lara, especially, gives a horny, committed performance. To my mind, these two girls really make these movies worthwhile.

Watching 'Lady Of The Rings' 1 & 2 reminds me why I like Frank Thring. His pervy, middle-aged lust over fit, young babes comes through in his filming of the sex, particularly the facials - not to mention his own personal discharge over Lilane's perky tits. He has fun, too, with the 'Lord Of The Rings' concepts, and he pulls it all off with aimiable aplomb. There's a British sense of humour in what he does, 'Carry On'-style, and a British sense of amateur dramatics, too; but on this occasion the humour isn't grating or over-the-top. The European talent responds well to the lighthearted tone of pastoral playfulness - but I can see what imalius means when he speculates that it might have been a bit cold out on some of those locations! Oh, and George Uhl seems to have become amazingly prolific, working for several different Private directors... is he the new Frank Gunn?

Re: Blowjob Mania

My reply:


Hi, jex. Maybe you'd prefer the Private compilations 'Cumshot Deluxe' 1 & 2 or 'Cum Guns'. As for 'Blowjob Mania', I like watching girls sucking cock at the start of scenes or part way though scenes, so, for me, seeing a compilation of these sequences is an entertaining experience, building up a heady momentum. Besides which, there are some cumshots included in the mix, as you point out. 'Blowjob Mania' is a clips compilation, drawing from the work of different directors and reflecting various styles. Okay - it's a different concept to 'The Blowjob Adventures of Dr. Fellatio', for example, where each sequence is especially filmed for the movie and ends in a cumshot, but that particular format can look rather 'samey' for my taste.

I take your point, though, about consumer expectations. The consumer who's used to a series like 'Dr. Fellatio' might assume that any title with 'Blowjob' in it will be yielding a cumshot with every sequence. So when the customer is casually browsing a porn store and catches sight of 'Blowjob Mania' it might not be immediately clear to them that this Private title occupies a different niche to the likes of 'Dr. Fellatio'. The current write-up for 'Blowjob Mania' in the on-line Private shop is misleading to the extent that it refers to the movie's seven categories as "cum-drenched".



The sequences compiled in 'Blowjob Mania' are whimsically arranged under seven headings: 'Good Jobs' (dvd scene selection 1), (2) '69', (3) 'Big Pricks', (4) 'Double Jobs', (5) 'Dual Jobs', (6) 'Deep Throat', and (7) 'Full Time Jobs'.

Here is a mention of some of the clips from (1) and (2). Does anyone want to share a mention of their favourite clips from the other sections of this breathtaking tour-de-force of a compilation?

(1) 'Good Jobs'

- The intense intimacy of Maria Bellucci's attention to David Perry's bell-end ('Wet Young Bitches').

- A low angle shot of fetish bitch Suzy Q, blowing John Walton - it's all pale neck and pink lipstick, with a fine display of deft tongue-work to the balls ('Love Me Deadly').

- A long shot of Judith Fox blowing James Brossman in a shallow pool, with the azure sea and horizon in the background. A classic composition from 'Madness' - this image should be hanging in The Louvre!

(2) '69'

- Toni Ribas standing upright with Jodie Moore's thighs clamped around his neck. He's supporting her by grasping her ass cheeks and he's pleasuring her by licking her pussy, while down below she's greedily blowing him, her blonde hair hanging to the floor ('Reality 21').

- Femme beauty Barby in 'Fever', sucking away at Alberto Rey. This girl is like an in-the-flesh incarnation of the Disney Snow White: she boasts a pale complexion, jet-black hair, bright blue eyes, scarlet lipstick and a buxom bosom. Another winner from Adamo!

- Young, tight-bodied and tanned: Mia Stone and Laureen Kiss go to work with Ian Scott on a beach of white sand... ('Exotic Illusions 2')

Re: Private Soundtracks



Perhaps Private could produce a limited edition 'Best of Private Music Soundtracks' audio CD. These would be my suggestions for tracks to be included on Side A.

1. 'Hot Pool' 2. 'Fetish Treatment' 3. 'Two Times Born' 4. 'Sunny' 5. 'Too Far Gone'

1. 'Hot Pool' is a title I've assigned the intense, moody track played to accompany Kate More's scene with Sophie Evans and Franco Roccaforte in the indoor swimming pool in 'Fashion' (dvd scene selecton 3). I wouldn't include the lengthy musical intro which gives a background to the voiceover at the beginning of the scene, but instead I'd begin the track from where the action between the girls starts, at 1 min 30 secs, as the synth percussive effect suddenly snaps the scene into a sexual rhythm. I'd fade the track out at 5.30, before it mixes into all those unconvincing sexual moaning vocals.

2. 'Fetish Treatment' is the title I'd give to a slinky synth rock track in 'Sexterminators' (dvd scene selection 3, 2.34 - 7.16). it's the track to which cyberbabes Mandy Bright, Michelle Wild and Patricia Diamond perform an erotic dance and a masturbation show for the benefit of a bedridden patient.

3. 'Two Times Born' is the track played against the 'extra scene' featuring Vivien in the dvd edition of 'Call Girl'. It's also used in the main body of the film, where clips of Vivien are mixed into the scene with Sindy (aka Monica Moore) (scene selection 6). This track, in the style of electronic trance music, helps to induce the sensation of a sexual 'rush'. It's the most effective use of music in porn that i've ever heard!

4. 'Sunny'. I've named this after actress Sunny Blue. It's a piece of light, disposable eurotrash music to which sunny bops, teasing and wriggling for the viewer at the beginning of her scene in 'Superfuckers 7: The Analsexexplosion' (dvd scene selection 2).

5. 'Too Far Away'. this is the ethereal / gothic track used in 'Perfect', dvd scene selection 8, to accompany the sex between Jodie Moore - in costume as an angel - and the figures of god and the devil. The track is also included, with this title, as track 3 in the music option on the 'Perfect' dvd extras disc.

Anybody any suggestions for Side B of this CD compilation?

My reply:


The music in 'Party Babes' is all credited to Ninfa and the rights to it are held by Fraserside Holdings Limited - i.e. it's all Private's music.

The individual tracks have no on-screen ID other than the titles of the scenes against which they're played, and the vocalists don't have any individual on-screen credits: so the extra information you're asking for would need to be posted by someone who was actually involved in the production or who has inside knowledge.

The sex scenes which stand up best as music video parodies are 'The Black Studio' with Tarra White, Black Angelika and Mike Angelo - the 'gangsta rap' track which goes with this one is really good - and 'Tekno Babes' with Suzie Diamond, Tarra White and Ramon Nomar.

Re: Island Fever / Lara Stevens


I agree that it would have been good to see more of Lara Stevens in 'Island Fever'. Despite her limited role in the action, she is very much 'the face' of the film, as manifested in the superb cover pic printed on the disc, which also graces the front of Private's mail order catalogue for winter/spring 2003-04. It's a head-and-shoulders shot of Lara which promises so much: the come-hither look in her bright, clear eyes; lips parted; the alluring expression of carnal speculation; her sun-kissed shoulders and shapely young breasts; her strands of long hair, wet from the pool, descending to her tits; a hint of down on her upper arm, and the left nipple in profile... exquisite!

Lara shares her 'Island Fever' scene with Violet and Katja Kassin (dvd scene selection 5). My favourite part is where Violet and Lara fellate the guy as he's sprawled back by the edge of the pool (5.56 - 7.28 ). The girls are in the water, leaning forward and across the guy's stretched legs to deal with his cock. Their bottoms are at water level, rocking slightly, and the guy sticks a foot out under each girl's crotch so that little waves ripple to and fro. Violet's clammy wet hair is all over her back and bottom. The girls show amazing expertise as they suck and nibble the guy's balls, flick their tongues deftly over his helmet, and massage his cock, legs and belly with gentle movements of their hands.

There's a nice shot at head level, by the edge of the pool, with Lara and Violet licking saucily away, when suddenly Katja's calves, feet and high heels appear in the frame as she strolls purposely towards the fellated guy. Katja stoops to kiss him on the mouth. this is the cue for Lara and violet to move back from his lap and recede into the pool, for it's now Katja's turn for a fuck... the water laps noisily at their shoulders as they withdraw, and check out Lara's petulant pout as she keeps her eyes trained on the man she's having to abandon...


On another Lara…

I find the Lara Croft image a massive turn-on. In fact, there already are at least a couple of Lara-themed porn movies. The better one is Jay Jeff's 'Jewel Raider'. The title role is played by a gorgeous actress called Jewel (aka Venus) who is best known to Private fans for her scene in Moto XXX. Jewel gets fucked by veteran stud Mike Horner while wearing her Lara costume in a scene which sends shivers of lust coursing up and down my spine. The other movie, 'Doom Fighter', is by Romagnoli, but I don't rate it as highly as his Private films. Also, Sophie Evans has done a turn as Lara in a photoset for one of Private's magazines, but I don't have the reference to hand. As for Indiana Jones, I guess the Private movies Indiana Mack I and II pick up on some of its ideas.

Re: Janet (aka Jeanette Morrison)



Janet's most memorable performance is with James Brossman in 'The Collector'. They appear together in a windswept, hillside scene which it must have been positively dangerous to shoot. The copulating couple are perched on the craggy ridge of a steep drop, buffeted by the gale. When Brossman cums, he aims at Janet's face but the abundant jets of jism spay about in the wind, every which way! - a good scene in a very good movie.




Re: GregandSarah’s choice of Top 20 Anal pics (links now dead)



More astounding research, Greg and Sarah! Here are some further thoughts about your choices # 17-20:

20. Cindy Lords looks positively feline in that shot. It’s the way she’s licking her lips, as you say: and the lucky guy is reciprocating the look, which makes the whole moment seem wonderfully flirtatious.

19. I love the lighting on Alexa’s upper body in this shot; it sexily sets off the sheen on her tummy and right arm. The finger-to-mouth pose gives a quality of stillness to her face as she stares at the camera, while the blurring of the guy’s legs suggests plenty of motion below as he fucks her ass. (And isn’t that a 'hair-on-the-gate' over his left thigh?) BTW, did you guys finally decide to buy 'Calendar Girl'?

18. Tawny Roberts. An exquisite description of the impact of that pic, Greg and Sarah! You’re right - the camera’s position would be ideal for an in-person voyeur. I can just imagine the blonde or brunette head of another babe obscuring our view and homing in: she would lean forward to lick the underside length of the guy’s shaft as he probes Tawny’s anus with his swollen helmet - and then (if Tawny removes her fingers from her pussy and grasps the girl by the hair) she’d lap upwards to trouble Tawny’s clit with the wet tip of her tongue!

17. A great pic of Katja Love! Yes, I like the way she’s thrown back her head in ecstasy, and I’m sure that the second guy is giving her some supplementary tingles by sucking the toes of her right foot!

My reply:


Thanks, guys, for that deluxe selection of pics and your insightful commentary on the merits of each image... You've surpassed yourselves! If only there was a Pile Driver section among the Valentines Cards sold by my local newsagent!

I love all of your choices, but I have to say that I was particularly taken with Brendy. I agree with everything you've said about this pic. Brendy's glance at the camera is a cool, provocative one, as if to say: "Hey! Look what's happening to me! I'm beautiful, aren't I? - and I bet you're aroused by the sight of my soft, spread pussy lips as I take this cock in my hole!" I also like the way Brendy is pressing the balls of her feet against the guy's buttocks.

Your No.1 is definitely a winner, and the close-up version is magnificent. The sense of taste is, perhaps, the most intimate of the five senses; and it's appropriate to a Valentines Day celebration that you're emphasising this intimacy... Cruella tastes the mingled juices of a pile-driving couple... wow!... a true elixir of love!

Re: Rita / Diana



In porn, it's nice to watch a girl swallow and gulp, but it's nicer still, I think, to see the cum all over a girl. It's good when private directors like Antonio Adamo and Frank Thring let the camera linger over a jism-splattered pretty face.

In Pierre Woodman's 'Tatiana', Rita, who play's Tania's slutty sister, memorably takes five mighty cock-loads of spunk to her face and open mouth in quick succession. It looks to me as if she swallows at least some of the deposit in between the third and fourth of these five orgasms.


Originally posted by Filipv:

I also like to see the cum drip from their chin.


My reply:

Private girls who give good chin? I think the girl with the most strikingly attractive jaw-line and chin is Diana. Diana was one of the 'Best Russians' from the 'Woodman era' of Private video - a fleshy, blue-eyed brunette with a wide and friendly smile.

In some of her scenes her hair is tied back and curly, but I prefer her in 'Horny Breakfast', in 'Triple X' video no. 8, where her hair hangs down and sets off spectacularly the strong and sweeping curves of her beautiful face. At one point in this scene the camera introduces a fantastic close-up of Diana's face - which is swaying as she smiles at us - and then it zooms out gradually to reveal that she is being shafted doggy-style over the breakfast table.

In the finale the guy chucks his spunk over Diana's face and neck and a small white glob ends up on the centre of her chin. She uses the cock to rub and smear the sticky wetness of his jism all over the broad features of her smiling face, and her chin is glistening as the scene fades out.

This scene is one of my all-time favourites. It was temporarily available on DVD in the re-release of Triple X video #8. Yummy.






Re: Michel Ricaud / The Private Adventures of Pierre Woodman / The Golden Triangle


Nerdgirl, could you or a colleague answer a question I have about a Private director, Michel Ricaud, who I believe may have died while working on a film. There is a simple, touching tribute to him at the end of a Seychelles movie - is it 'Beauties in Paradise'? - and Pierre Woodman refers to him in an interview about shooting in unusual or dangerous locations, commenting that it was terrible what happened to him in the Seychelles... My question is what can you tell me about this respected director and the sad circumstances of his death?

This interview with Pierre Woodman, which is mostly about 'The Fugitive', has been re-released as an 'Extra' on the new DVD edition of 'Private Castings: 41'


Originally posted by Fiona:

Unfortunately he [Ricaud] is dead, but the circumstances surrounding his death are a bit of a mystery. I have tried to find out what happened, but no one here knows for sure.


Originally posted by Bawdy:

Just started watching ‘The Private Adventures of Pierre Woodman’ and it’s fantastic (it also arrived in record time across half the globe!). It's a revealing insight into the life, mind and adventures of the master himself [PW] taking the form of an interview interspersed with pictures, behind the scenes footage and a number of sex scenes. I've only watched the 1st section where Pierre describes his childhood growing up in the French countryside and early career as a policeman before the 1st sex scene (Nikky Anderson's casting). I've never been so engrossed in a porno before, eagerly awaiting every word, no fast forwarding thru filler in this one. I'm sure the series will also spark much discussion as well, as some of Pierre's comments are interesting to say the least! Can't wait for the next installment!


My reply:

Thanks for the recommendation, Bawdy. I guess you're someone who's already pretty well acquainted with Pierre's past Private scenes. What was making me hesitate about buying into this range was that I'll probably already own a lot of the scenes on other discs. If you can recommend this release as a stand-up entertainment in its own right, with new stuff to enjoy even for someone who already has a familiarity with the past scenes, then that might sway me in favour of buying...


Originally posted by Bawdy:

Even though I've seen all the sex clips before, I don't have a lot of them on disc so for me it’s a great way to get them on DVD, plus the commentary by Woodman is priceless. One of the scenes is from The Golden Triangle as well, which will probably never make it to DVD anyway, at least in its original form, so that was a bonus.


My reply:

Cool. Which scene was it? If Pierre is going to get to talk about that movie and 'The Tower' over the course of his 'Adventures' releases, I'm sure that that will attract interest - given the developing cult status of these now unavailable films and the amount of discussion they've already excited. Hopefully some isolated scenes from the 'Tower' will also be considered appropriate for re-release in the 'Adventures' series, but I don't know.

P.S. I've just read your post in 'VIP in Barcelona!!!' where you mention that in the new release Pierre does discuss 'The Golden Triangle' but doesn't go into great detail about it.

P.P.S. I see Su Ann is on the Private Shop cast list for 'The Adventures' #1, 'A Life in Porn'. So is the scene included from 'The Golden Triangle' the one which Su Ann shares with Mame Young and Alberto Rey? As I recall, one of the girls holds Alberto captive on a bed at knife-point and then both girls fuck him. This scene is already available on the 'Private XXX' DVD (Scene 9) where it retains the fuzzy video quality of the original and thus charms us with a kind of 'movie-lost-in-time' feeling. I can't remember whether Su Ann had another scene in 'The Golden Triangle'.


Originally posted by Bawdy:

The scene from The Golden Triangle is indeed with Su Ann but with two guys, the one where she has those hot black leather laced up knickers with her clit popping out! The scene from the Tower is the rooftop one with Aliza which I think has been in a few other compilations. Pierre's story of how Aliza became the star of the Tower, even though she vowed she would never do porn, is very interesting, as is Pierre's account of their early trip to Australia with Monique Couvet.


Originally posted by DavidX:

Part 2, "On the Road to Fame", is even more engrossing (in Bawdy's words) than Part 1, and the interviews/commentaries continue to be priceless. We get a first-hand put-you-there account of Michel Ricaud's tragic death in Seychelles that I found harrowing and newsworthy (in that I never heard these details before). Also a more detailed account of the Bali adventure [when filming the The Golden Triangle] (PW actually got the authorities who wanted to chop off his head to help him make the picture!). Another scene from "The Golden Triangle" is shown (Rebecca Lords' first and almost only anal scene). We learn that PW wrote the scenarios for Tower and Gigolo while serving a 2-month jail sentence in France (for what is not said, though it happened immediately after his return from making his "censored" Bali picture). Blackmail attempt in England, hair-breadth escapes from catastrophe.... What a life! And his career is only just begun. The background on Tania Russof's fetish scene in Gigolo 1 & 2 was funny and interesting, and made me look at those scenes again in an entirely new light. Very eager for Part 3, needless to say.


My reply:

Thanks, David X. I'm sorely tempted to order # 1 and 2 on the strength of these bits and pieces of information. I asked about the circumstances of the death of Michel Ricaud over a year ago, in the General Chat thread ''Questions for Nerdgirl", but at that point no one posting knew much about it.


Originally posted by David X:

Pierre was there, tried to save him but couldn't. (You can see from his scene in "Beauties in Paradise", and a behind-the-scenes segment in Castings X 4, that he was quite a hefty man; and his head had evidently been bashed against the rocks by the waves). Very sad story. I believe he was slated to be the next big Private director (after Steve Perry), and Berth Milton had already announced the creation of a new series Michel was to inaugurate called Private Club: a sort of Private Tropical but with a truly first-rate director. I also learned from the Adventures that it was Pierre who scouted out Seychelles (as well as casting the young beauties) and persuaded Michel to come out of his studio-bound habits for these movies. I believe Private Club was therefore planned as a collaboration between these two, though Pierre himself wasn't interested in shooting video at this time. Anyway, the "Private Adventures of Pierre Woodman" is invaluable for these kinds of insights, and a must have for anyone interested in his movies, or indeed the history of Private.

Re: Olivia La Roche / the 'Madagascar Sex Resort' cover





Olivia La Roche's playfully-performed pout is a complete 'plus' in my books, not to mention her beautiful body and her youth. Check out her fun-loving, mocking "Oooooh!" as Franco Trentalance comes on to her heavily at the beginning of their beach scene in 'Sluts Of The Caribbean': she has 'tood; and that's always a sign of real class! I'd love to see her become a 'contract girl' and work for lots of different Private directors.

I'd say Olivia La Roche is the hottest new young starlet who should be offered the chance to become a Private contract girl. She's got good reviews from both myself and Addicted; and it would be great to see some exceptional talent like her - having made her start with Private through the 'Private Auditions' route (#3) - progress to become a face and a body centrally associated with the Private brand.

Also, I agree with Bawdy about Rebcca Linares... although, as he says, it may now be a little late to nominate her to be a new contract girl. (She's wowed me yet again as I've caught up with 'Private XXX: All You Need Is Sex' and watched the amazingly hot scene she shares with Liliane Tiger.)

Re: Cindy Lords





Cindy Lords is no rookie, but over the past year she has been shaping up as a Private megastar... This is because she's so prolific, working with different directors, appearing in mags as well as vids, and having been Fiona's favourite as Private catalogue cover-girl... Has Cindy Lords become Private's new Tania Russof, their new Nikki Andersson, their new Silvia Saint, or has Private diversified its output so much that it's no longer meaningful to speak of a Private 'megastar' in the way that used to be the case in the 90s?



Originally posted by David X:


Yes about Cindy. The trouble with 2005 is that there were no really big directors to make stars iconic, you know like Rita Faltoyano in Gladiator, or Julia Taylor in Cleopatra.



My reply:


True! Cindy has appeared in several memorable costumes - her biker gear in 'Triple X 60'; her sexy black paramilitary fatigues in 'Mission: Possible'; her skimpy beach wear, with the pink flower in her hair, for her 'tropical' stuff - but none of these looks has been iconic in the way that the examples you mention were. It's time for a design concept which unmistakeably showcases Cindy as the current 'face of Private'!

I'm looking forward to seeing her in 'Mata-Hari' 2.

Notes and Queries





I've been consuming Private porn in one form or another since the mid 90s - on and off - and in that time I've kept a 'weather eye' on Private's main competition. To my mind Private has always been way out front - and it still is. If I'm nostalgiac about Woodman's Private works it's because he was a leading light in revolutionising European porn, but since his departure an array of new talent has carried the torch forward at Private and maintained an influential industry standard.

Recently there seems to have been a degree of criticism of Private output - particularly on message boards in the U.S. - with contributors objecting to what they regard as the 'softcore' ethos of the company's high production standards and style. This I utterly fail to understand. For me there's nothing 'soft' about Private's aesthetic presentation - the gloss and glamour serve only to enhance the impact of the hardcore action and celebrate the cumshot!

The cumshot is inarguable evidence of the reality of male pleasure on set, whatever the context - and it's a necessary point of identification for a male spectator seeking gratification from watching the scene. But once the cumshot is guaranteed, and all the hardcore business around it is given, I see no reason why the porn shouldn't be packaged in a slick and stylish form. This is exactly how it should be.

'Real sex' porn is too often an excuse for weak production values. Nothing bores me more than overlong scenes, drab sets, bad lighting, inept composition, crass editing, and costuming and make-up which fail to show the girls at their best. That's not what I want from porn. To be honest, if I want 'real sex' I can go out and have it. I'm interested in porn only if it can use all the expertise and resources of advanced media production to take sex to a different place altogether, a world of stylised fantasy.

As for peeing - save it for the piss pan.






Likes / Dislikes


In Private movies, some directors go for highly stylised sexual choreography while others are touching base with scenes of 'earthier' sex, but what they all have in common, it seems to me, is a view of the cumshot as a kind of celebration. Some of the bukkake stuff found elsewhere uses cumming as a means of bringing the woman down to a point of extreme degradation, and this appeals to fewer people, crossing boundaries of taste and acceptability.

I've seen some Thompson / GGG stuff. Writing personally as one consumer, I have to say that such stuff does nothing to float my boat - in fact, some of it turns my stomach. But I wouldn't write to GGG to ask them to be more like Private: I just don't go there.

The opposite point of view might be that, for selfish or lazy guys like me, 'unreconstructed' porn which is centred on male pleasure has an advantage over 'chick flick' porn - or even real sex - in the sense that as a male viewer you can get yourself off without having to think about or take any trouble over a partner's needs: its all about gaining pleasure from looking at the image of the woman's body as she fucks! Whenever I watch movies in which there is a lot of emphasis on pussy licking, such as Vivid's stuff, I tend to forward-fast through all that to get to the bit where the girl goes to work on the guy's cock! (I know this is unlikely to endear me to women members, but maybe this urge to 'cut to the chase' explains the predominance of male-pleasure product in the market for straight porn!)


I'm not 'habitually occupied' with porn per se, but I do give up time to enjoy it in its classier forms - which is why I go to Private. I guess spending time in this forum, writing reviews and opinions, turned it into a hobby. Generally, I verge on an 'obsessive personality' - I really commit to the things I choose to do and pursue them doggedly - but for me that's the same at work and in other areas of life. To me, an 'addiction' would be something outside my power, but I can and do control my demons and I can exorcise them when necessary.


Sure, where porn exploits vulnerable people it's clearly wrong, but a properly regulated industry with adequate provision for the rights and health care of the performers is okay.

As for porn users, you can't generalise. True, for some people their use of porn can become like an illness, comparable to alcohol or drug abuse, but such people are often disempowered in their lives generally, and they fill the emptiness with their addictions... but it's equally true that for many others looking at porn is just one part of leading a balanced and fulfilled life.

At the end of the day, porn is what you bring to it. A tub of Pot Noodles is inedible until you pour boiling water into it, and it's up to each of us whether we put the kettle on.








Rating Private’s Directors


I think that developments in digital media can offer ever-more impressive platforms for delivering porn, but in the end it's the quality of the creative talent in terms of the directing, casting and production design which matters most. As for storylines, there is a limited number of archetypal narratives available - this limitation applies to any genre, not just to porn. The trick is to come up with fresh ways of inflecting and dressing the familiar narratives.

Personally I think that Private continues to fare well, and I agree that the best way to go is within the stylistic traditions established by Woodman and Adamo.

I always liked those brief black and white replay sequences in Adamo's films. They mark the transitions between the different phases of action in a sex scene and they seem to me to be psychologically true to the experience of having sex. They parallel those moments of delirious pleasure during lovemaking when you close your eyes and allow the freshly-made memories of the high points of what has so far been happening between you and your partner to flood your mind and spur you on to further exertions... As for Adamo’s use of slow motion, that ties in with the feeling you sometimes get during sex, that the experience is so blissful and intense that it is even putting time out of joint.

Romagnoli is in many ways a protégé of Adamo, equally capable of creating effects of lust-infused dreamlike delirium.

I think there's almost a case for two entries for Woodman, as he gave us two styles of product: (i) his high-profile, on-location feature film series and (ii) his more 'gonzo' type of stuff in the 'Castings' and 'Superfuckers' series.

For me, Alessandro Del Mar has yet to make a big impression, and I await 'Millionaire' with interest as he's been given that project and I know that it's an important one ("this year's 'cockbuster'", as Madboy explained).

Gazzman blew me away with 'Hot Property' and he deserves a high rating on the strength of that movie alone.

'Sex Angels' has been made a flagship title, and although Dominguez has an entertaining stab at it, serving up some very raunchy scenes, I'd have liked to have seen a director on that one who's capable of a little more gloss and post-production panache. I still prefer Nic Cramer's 'Operation Sex Siege' as a Private movie in the 'Guns and Rough Sex' genre (though maybe Ivy Crystal was a little underused!)

A really exciting development, I think, is a contribution to the Private range by acclaimed American director Michael Raven. I've just seen his new release 'Delilah'. The star is adorable and the production values are high. If Raven is going to do more work for Private, he'd be picking up on the trend for high-end American gloss started by Michael Ninn.




Antonio Adamo's first run of flashy, highly stylised 'Private-Penthouse' and 'Virtualia' titles are among my firm favourites, but the 'Private Video Magazine', 'Triple X' and 'Private Stories' ranges bring back fond memories of simple carefree porn (especially with that endlessly repeated 'signature' music cheerfully burbling away in the background to almost every scene!) The 'Reality' series has now developed into a worthy successor of these classic series. At its best 'Private Gold' has a real sense of occasion about it, and I also like the narrative contexts in the 'Private Movie' and 'Black Label' titles. Woodman set the standard, and latterly Alessandro del Mar has had a couple of commendable stabs at maintaining the grand tradition of the 'cockbuster' feature film. The 'Pirate' range was dreamily pervy under Frank Thring's stewardship, and then 'Pirate Video DeLuxe' and 'Pirate Fetish Machine' brought a diverse range of talent to the fetish genre - Kovi, Tanya Hyde and Susi Medusa. 'X-treme' was brilliant at the outset, with directors like Romagnoli at the helm; it lost its way when Kerkove took over. There are numerous other Private labels to enjoy, but these are the ones which have made most impression on me.

Re: Chateau

It's been a while since I bought new Private DVDs, but my latest purchases arrived this week... so I can start catching up. I've begun by watching 'Chateau' #1 and 'Cum On My Face' #3. I'm saving up my new 'Crusoe' disc because I'm expecting it to be something special.

I couldn't help feeling that several of the 'name' stars in Conrad Son's 'Chateau' have passed the zenith of their porn careers. Four of them already have enough water under the bridge to have had their own 'The Private Life / Story Of...' releases; and, in some cases, faces (if not bodies) are looking somewhat tired and lined. My favourite scene is the one with Victoria Swinger. Even she has been around for a while, but she retains a bloom of youth... a bloom which seems, now, to have faded from some of her more seasoned co-stars.

With all due respect to established favourites, I think it's time for the limelight to be trained on up-and-coming new talent. Pierre Woodman always had a knack for populating his movies with fresh faces - devastatingly attractive newcomers - so even the feature films he did which lacked a strong 'concept' became classics of the highest order. (I'm afraid that 'Chateau' doesn't really cut it as a strong 'concept' feature, by the way... If the publicity and packaging didn't spell it out that this is supposed to be a 'Dynasty'-style saga, I would never have made that connection. That's not to say that 'Chateau' isn't picturesque... the cinematography on location is sometimes very impressive indeed.)

On the question of casting, one of the likeable developments in the 'Cum On My Face' series is that the line-up includes a number of girls brand new to Private... delightful fresh faces being spunked all over! Familiar face Bobbi Eden gets #3 off to an enjoyable start, but, later on, several scenes introduce beautiful new Czech and Hungarian babes, popping their Private cherry with a hot wet blowjob. I hope we're going to see a lot more of some of these girls...

Which up-and-coming Private euro-starlets would members single out as well worth keeping an eye on... 'the next generation' of porn movie celebrities?

I've got a bit of a thing for Angel Dark and for Thalia... mmm, now where's my 'new 'Crusoe' disc?

Re: Private Nostalgia



My first Private tape was an early Private Video Magazine but I can't recall its number right now. There's a scene in it called 'Bed and Breakfast', and a scene starring a sweet-faced brunette who had hair flicks which would now look rather dated. I remember watching her take a facial and thinking, "Yes, here's a porn range I'd like to see more of." On the same tape is another good scene which I think is called 'Caribbean Bath', starring American hotties Vanessa Chase and Zana Sun.

My reply:

I like this photoset a lot because of its erotic take on retro sci-fi stylings. Nicol reminds me a bit of English actress Gabrielle Drake as Lt. Gay Ellis, a Moonbase operative in Gerry Anderson's 1970 cult TV show, 'UFO' (especially the boots and hair piece!)


Originally posted by Bawdy:

One of my favourite photosets, I too got a flashback to teenage fantasies about those hot Moonbase babes from 'UFO' when viewing that pic (actually had the chance to meet Sylvia Anderson, the original Lady Penelope from 'Thunderbirds', when she was here in Australia, that's one fantasy partially fulfilled ).


Originally posted by GregandSarah:

Thanks Baskk and Bawdy. Funny that you both so greatly admire that retro-sci-fi Nicol series. And to think we were just getting distracted by the cute in-metallic boots. We notice that Private likes to do those occasionally, whether it's Cindy "fucking cyborgs" or Dorothy Lake as the "cybernetic" woman. Hmm, maybe they should do a Private Life of Robots.


My reply:

Speaking of "fucking cyborgs", does anyone remember Bob Terminator, the flat-topped, muscle-bound Private movie stud, so called because of his physical resemblance to Arnie? One of Bob's later appearances was in 'Cyber Sex' ('Virtualia' #1), where he got to fuck Natasha. Maybe "Uncle Bob" could return ("I'll be back"?!) to do a hardcore photoset with Christanna Loken as the Terminatrix. I don't know about a "Rise of the Machines" - but a photoset like that would certainly cause something else to rise! Who knows where it might lead? Bob Terminator for Governor of California!

As for Sylvia Anderson, now there's a gal who gave great voice! Maybe Private could offer her a job dubbing Hungarian girls into English!

Having experimented with computer-animated porn in '2 Funky 4 U', Michael Ninn could perhaps turn his attention to another experimental project - a fuck flick starring Gerry Anderson style puppets! Shafting the delectable Lady Penelope would add new meaning to the term 'Woodman'! (Actually, something similar has already been done - a satirical sex scene in the recent movie 'Team America' by the makers of 'South Park'!)

Re: Castings

In Toni Ribas’s 'Sex Auditions' series, maybe the suspense is meant to be all part of the entertainment: in some of the auditions Toni gets to go the whole way; in others, he doesn't; and the viewer is kept on his toes wondering if the girl in the scene just starting is indeed one of those who has agreed to get fucked!

But if the viewer really likes that girl and she doesn't get fucked it feels disappointing, so maybe it would be better if the movie included only those girls who do agree! (In his Castings movies, Woodman used to include odd interviews with some of the beauties he didn't subsequently use, but these came at the end of the movies, like appendices, so you kind of knew what to expect and weren't so disappointed!)



Re: Evil Geishas Hotel

Thanks for this review, Addicted. I agree that the tricksy editing in this movie is way over the top, but I also agree that on the plus side Suzie Diamond's turn as a lust-crazed geisha from hell is very hot.

Re: Private Magazines



I used to love it in the days when Woodman ruled the roost at Private, and particularly in the magazines of the 90s when the models had cartoon-style thought bubbles coming out of their heads (I've lost count of how many times Alain Deloin was shown to be lost in clouds of thought while shafting some gorgeous euroslut in the ass.) I also liked the addition of curly captions to the photosets, suggesting a comic-book chorus of sounds and exclamations: "Ahhh! Hmmmmmm! Flop Flop! Slurp!" etc. This never detracted from the horniness; in fact, it added to it, and gave Private a new tone of good-natured fun. Does anyone agree with me? Anyone like to reference any favourite examples?

I think that nowadays the quality of the photography in Private's stable of magazines is better than ever, but I miss those cartoonish graphics. These days it is more typical for 'artsy' style graphics to be added to the photosets, and I find that occasionally these can be a little distracting. For example, the Frederica photoset in Private magazine #181... The photography is fantastic and the girl is as horny as hell, but the curvy lines which cut 'artsily' through the action do get in the way a bit.

Am I right? Is Private changing its strategy for the magazines?

In 2006 the Sex magazine label is changed in a kind of actress special (#64 Michelle Wild; #65 Rita Faltoyano; #66 Liliane Tiger and #67 Priva)

The photosets in Private magazines and Triple X magazines become more and more pictures from movies scenes.

Only Pirate magazines have mostly exclusive photosets (except for some behind the scene reports from Fetish Machine productions).

For sex- and pornmagazines I think it's difficult to survive. The former buyers of porn magazines are now using internet as alternative.

Are there any plans to stop releasing magazines?




My reply:


Let's hope that, independently of stills taken on movie sets, the original studio photoshoot continues to be a staple of Private magazines, for both print and internet platforms. Much of Private's studio photography in the nineties and in the noughties (so far) has been amazing: it's an art form in itself; and Private magazine picture content shouldn't be relegated as exclusively an adjunct of movie shoots or as a repackaging of past triumphs. Yes: the future in any of Private's media rests primarily on Production!



Original, exclusive, studio photosets are what the magazines need; and I, too, hope - despite some recent trends - that this is what we continue to get. That given, our personal preferences about models and the styles of the exclusive shoots are a subjective matter of taste, and generic differences become a way of distinguishing individual magazine titles.

Of course, purchasers of print magazines in sex shops buy only those titles or issues which appeal to them personally - that's the traditional model of porn purchasing - but as subscribers to private.com we're essentially accessing Private material across the range of its main titles (gay material excepted, currently), so it's hardly surprising that any given subscriber is going to prefer particular models and styles over others. Subjective preferences vary, but there are objective standards of quality in terms of the professionalism and artistry of the production and we should acknowledge those standards when we see them even when a particular model or the content of a particular shoot isn't exactly to our taste.




Originally posted by FF:



Pirate magazine is ending its production run at the next issue. I don't know about the other magazines but a mail was sent out to all photographers last week about this.




My reply:



Back in the day, 'Pirate' wasn't that much different in its content to the other Private magazines - part of a print 'zine "golden age".

More recently, the magazine has acquired a more marked style of its own, which could be loosely described as hardcore sex (like the others) but mixed with artistic 'soft' fetish.

It seems a shame if 'Pirate' has gone to the wall after having developed this distinctive style, but in general the market for print magazines is under pressure from the availability of information in other (digital) media - and the current economic recession can't help.

Nevertheless, I hope Private continues to dabble in fetish, publishing occasional set pieces in the 'Pirate' style on its website, in the other magazines and in the 'Pirate' movie ranges.




It's sad news that 'Triple X' magazine is going to the wall as well as 'Pirate' magazine. In the heyday of Woodman's time with Private, the synergy between 'Triple X' magazine and the 'Triple X' video range was a central plank of what Private was all about.

Besides which, there's something about the tangibility of magazines in print - the pleasure in turning pages (or even sniffing those pages for acrid print smells!) - which online consumption can never replace.

But if the commercial reality is that producing print magazines isn't profitable... well, that's that. The phenomenon of print material losing out to the web is something seen across the publishing industry, not just in porn - although the prospect of economic recession perhaps bites particularly hard on high-quality print porn when there is so much cheap porn or free porn available all over the web for those strapped of cash.

Dutchy's query is an important one, as is Flashboy's point about the need for a media platform for the work of talented photographers operating independently of DVD tie-ins.

With a 50% reduction in Private's stable of print magazines, are we going to see a change in the editorial policy for the remaining titles, 'Private' and 'Sex'?

In terms of 'still images', will there be a change (for better or worse) in the balance of content between DVD tie-ins or recycled material and new, dedicated photoshoots by top studio photographers?

Is Private going to sustain or even increase its current volume of original photoshoots and pack these into the surviving magazines, or will some original photoshoots now be published only on the website?

Or is Private's reduction in the number of print magazines part of an overall 'down-sizing' which means that we're going to see less original photoshoot content across all its media, including the website?

Some news, or a press statement about production and editorial strategy would be in order, I think, as 'Pirate' and 'Triple X' finish their distinguished run. A chapter in porn reaches an end, so we need some reassurance about what to look forward to...

Re: Jeanette




I love the scene on the island in 'Fugitive 1'. When the lithe, sun-bronzed Jeanette gets banged doggy-style, surf crashes around her wobbling ass cheeks and a little pool of water which has splashed into the small of her back laps to and fro. It's all sun, sea, sand, sweat and shiny droplets of cum.





Re: A Woman’s Ass Is A Beautiful Thing




I rented 'A Woman's Ass' when in Amsterdam recently (!) and i have to agree with all the comments made so far. There's nothing distinctively 'Private' about this film: it's basically indistinguishable from other American gonzo productions. The girls are okay, but they're not all equally pretty. Skeeter's links between the scenes are formulaic. He demonstrates a sense of humour when talking directly to the camera - he is preoccupied with the girls' youthfulness, their asses and their shiny latex packaging - but after a while the repeated sex routines become monotonous and there is a sense in some of them that the women are being degraded.



Originally posted by Adam:

The choreorgraphy is practically always the same ... If you like watching girls brought low ... you will love Skeeter's movies. If you appreciate quality and started to watch Private because of Antonio Adamo's refined style, avoid...



My reply:

The movie’s blowjob position is a case in point. It's a position repeated from scene to scene which "brings the girl low". With her head positioned over the edge of the sofa, her arms reaching back and her hands grasping her heels, the girl is reduced to an oral receptacle. Her mouth and throat are completely at the mercy of the enormous, thrusting cock and she's liable to gag. This position gives the girl no more status than a blow-up sex doll; she becomes an object with no individuating persona or attitude... Personally I find this style of porn lacking in eroticism: there are no nuances, no subtle variations; and Skeeter's endless repetition of positions like this becomes both tedious and somewhat disquieting.

That said, I have to admit that the pictured girl, Katsumi, is an A1 babe. She is the movie’s cover girl, after all, and her turn as the climactic act is the best thing about this film...

Skeeter aside, it looks as if David Perry is set to direct a series of movies for the Private Xtreme label. This should be interesting. David was surely the most prolific of Private's studs, a Woodman stalwart who also worked for Adamo and other key Private directors. Will the greatness of these directors rub off on David? As he turns his hand to directing, it'll be interesting to see how he uses his mass of experience as a performer in putting together movies of his own... This is what the Private Shop says about the first of these films, 'Eurobabes Take It To The Limit':

"Ex-porn star David Perry takes the reins of the Private Xtreme line and directs a hardcore classic! Hes selected some top European acting talent who love nothing better than opening their legs and taking you to a higher level in really hard porn. These babes will push your sexual boundaries to the limit!"

Re: Private Gentlemen's Club





I've just read this press briefing from Private:



“The first Private Gentlemen’s Club Opens in Europe

"October 30th 2005 - Barcelona, Spain /PR Newswire/ -- Private Media Group Inc. (NASDAQ: PRVT) a worldwide leader in premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet content, announces the opening of the first Private Gentlemen’s Club in Bucharest, Romania.

"The club is an exclusively decorated, purpose-built, gentlemen’s club with 650m2 (7,000 sq. ft.) of entertainment space located in the heart of Bucharest, the capital of Romania and home to 2.4 million people. The club has a total capacity for 350 people and will enchant guests with 75 professional dancers who will perform every night. Moreover, entertainers and well-known Private stars will appear at this new venue, which is unique in the city.

"On October 15 the club will be officially inaugurated when over 250 guests ranging from corporate executives to sports and movie stars will enjoy a 3 hour happening, spiced up with special and charming surprises. The event will be hosted by Ms. Crina Matei, a popular Romanian TV talk-show presenter and a former Playmate, and will include performances by the two girl-bands Trident and Laguna, both very famous on a national level. In conjunction with the opening, a major advertising campaign, including outdoor advertising, radio and TV spots, has been running and will continue to do so through the grand opening on October 15.

"The opening of the first Private Gentlemen’s Club marks a major step in Private’s licensing program in the club arena and it is the fruit of a licensing agreement which was recently signed with the international businessman Zyon Ayni, owner and operator of the club.

"Zyon Ayni commented: 'Operating under the Private brand, this new club will offer high-class entertainment for gentlemen looking to enjoy a night out on the town in an elegant, exciting location with up-scale adult entertainment. This is the first club we open and in January 2006 we expect to open a second in Barcelona, Spain, with England, Germany and France to follow.'

"Berth Milton, Private’s Chairman and CEO concluded: 'The entry into the club arena with our licensing program takes the Private brand further into the mainstream lifestyle segment. Our brand recognition should and will go beyond where it is today, reaching a broad, valuable and growing customer base. This is just one of the many steps I expect us to take in this direction.' "



This is another good reason to visit Bucharest. For tourists seeking a memorable time in the former Eastern Bloc, the secret's out... If you can avoid the mafioso cabbies who hustle you as soon as you hit the airport arrivals lounge, the stray dogs which roam the streets, and the monstrous legacy of Ceausescu in the shape of The People's Palace, Bucharest is a great place to visit, with a vibrant night life, friendly people and many beautiful women. It's an exciting city in which to open the first of these Private clubs.

I'm sure that the "broad, valuable and growing customer base" Berth Milton speaks of targetting would broaden and grow considerably with performers like Terri working in Private clubs! Certainly London's club scene needs something pitched classily between 'lifestyle' and 'eroticism' to lift it from the doldrums!

Re: The House Of Games / Ellen / Donna Marie


'The House Of Games' is another slick, stylish offering by director Antonio Adamo, and a 'must' for fans of Dutch star Bobbi Eden. In this film, as elsewhere in Adamo's work, there are shades of 'Eyes Wide Shut': the story involves a mysterious cult at whose 'house of games' it is possibe to fulfil forbidden desires and fantasies. The models all have smouldering good looks, and the sex is directed and photographed with precision and panache. I'd like to single out the performance of Czech girl Ellen, for certain techniques she brings to the sex.

The final scene of the film (dvd scene selection 6) opens with all the characters wearing ceremonial dress - three men in black cloaks, and Bobbi Eden, Ellen and Daniella Schiffer dressed in white. It's not long, of course, before the girls slip out of their garments. Bobbi is chosen by the master of the house to join him in watching the action as the other two girls are each appointed partner to one of the remaining, hooded men.

The sex begins and everything you'd expect from a workout in a Private movie is delivered. It's all enhanced by an efficiently sexy musical soundtrack, with a driving, percussive beat and a teasing, melodic chime effect which is a little suggestive of Enio Morriccone. (I'm thinking of the watch chimes in 'A Few Dollars More', as sampled in a recent popular dance track.) My only quibble is that the scene seems over-lit, given that what we are supposed to be witnessing is an "event" at the shadowy, somewhat sinister 'house of games'. Bobbi Eden looks perfect, and Daniella Schiffer enjoys the star turn as the girl who gets the dp, but, for me, it's Ellen who steals the scene.

What impresses me most about Ellen is the energy and motion she brings to her cowgirl and reverse cowgirl positions. She's a petite and very fit girl, so it's really something to see her humping her small, firm body atop a hunky stud. Check out the reverse cowgirl at 8.31 - 9.20. Ellen's legs are splayed, wide apart, so we get a full view of the rhythmic cunt-massage she's giving the boner beneath her. She wiggles and waggles her hips, her tits are rocking free of her bra, and her round shoulders are rolling around as she finds a sexy rhythm. She licks her lips and looks below to study her own gyrations astride her partner's lap. She turns back her head to flash a cheeky grin at the man, and he responds with a delighted smile, genuinely impressed by the skill with which she's fucking him. She grabs his hair and looks him in the eye, swaying more slowly as she does so, rippling her belly and thrusting her torso with exquisite deliberation to maximise the pleasure to his buried cock.

We see Elllen's cowgirl from 9.20 to 9.34, and then again from 10.09 to 10.49. It's the same technique as for the reverse cowgirl, except that now we're treated to a remarkable view of the rhythmic arching of Ellen's back and the undulations of her pert little buttocks. She's looking back over her shoulder to admire the energetic contortions of her own lower body, and to examine the effect as her cunt squeezes the cock for all it's worth.

There's a brief cut away, to a shot of Bobbi Eden and the master of the house. They are watching Ellen's performance as we are, and Bobbi winces with lust at the spectacle. This is a cue for a round of the teasing chime effects to begin again on the music track, and, as we return to the sight of Ellen's expert motion, it's almost too much to bear...


It's interesting to watch 22 year-old English newcomer Donna Marie in 'House of Games'. Apologies to fans from elsewhere in the world who won't get this reference, but Donna Marie's Mancunian (?) accent and her copper-tinted hair put me immediately in mind of Elsie Tanner or Rita Fairclough, as they looked way back in the prime of youth. (Elsie and Rita were fiery redheads in the long-running, Manchester-based soap opera 'Coronation Street', which is something of an institution on British TV.)

I've just arrested Donna Marie in a freeze frame at scene selection 3, 4.52, to savour the image of her blowjob gaze at the camera, cheeks drawn in as she sucks, her appealing bright blue eyes set off perfectly against the 'Elsie Tanner' red rinse of her stylishly coiffured hair.

My reply:

I've heard that some of the U.S. agencies which advertise big-name porn stars as escorts - including girls who've worked for Private - are actually rip-off merchants working under false pretences. But maybe there are some genuine ones too. It must be a bit of a come-down for a girl to move away from the professional buzz of a lively porn set in some exotic location to spend her time instead dating portly businessmen with more money than manners and a sorry tale to tell about how their wives don't really understand them.


Apparently there are escort services which have on their books - or have had - Black Angelika, Angel Dark and Lucy Belle, among others. There's a thread about this somewhere on the eurobabeindex forum, and some guys offer feedback on the expensive time they claim to have spent with Black Angelika and Angel Dark. I'm sure there are many misleading escort services, too, which hijack copyright images of famous porn stars for their web pages but provide their clients with far less glamorous women once they've got their credit card details!

Thanks for your information on this particular topic; it must be galling to find images of yourself being hijacked by people purporting to offer a service which is actually phony! As for me personally, I'm quite happy to "escort" my DVD copy of 'House of Games' to my DVD player and enjoy an evening in your company on the movie!!

Re: London Sexclusive - 29.05.08 (Part 1)

I had a wonderful time meeting Tarra White, Boroka and Lucy Belle at their Sexclusive appearance for Private in the Harmony sex shop, Oxford Street. The girls are even more stunning in real life than in their photosets and movies, and they’re also really friendly. The choice of venue was a good one, as Harmony is chic, spacious and couple-friendly. I turned up shortly after 4.00PM, and already the shop was filling up with a mix of curious customers and committed fans. Here I am, getting my photo taken with each of the girls… Apologies that preserving my anonymity makes me seem like the villain Blofeld in the cast lists of early James Bond movies…

Re: London Sexclusive (2)

I asked the girls to autograph a selection of soft glamour pics which I’d printed out the night before from the Private members’ site, together with some DVD sleeves. I had more pics of Tarra with me because, of all the girls, she’s the one whose look seems to vary the most between productions. My prize image of Tarra was a screen capture which I’d made the night before from the sexy dance she performs at the beginning of her fetish scene with Black Angelika in ‘Party Babes’. I’d even brought along a silver marker pen for that one, since its background is black. The Tarra pic about which the girls seemed most enthusiastic was her striking portrait from the set of ‘Santa’s Sexy Secrets’, where she’s sporting big brown hair and starting to tug down her tights in front of a grand piano. I told Tarra how much I’ve enjoyed her acting in the Tropical series, and she admitted that when playing both the twin sisters in ‘Sluts Of the Caribbean’ she sometimes forgot who she was supposed to be talking to!

Boroka has the most artistic autograph of the three girls, showing her creative streak. Notice how, in one pic, the dramatic sweep of her pen answers the vapour trail of the jet plane as it flies above her head through the beautiful blue skies of Ibiza!

Lucy was amazingly smiley and nice… instantly adorable! She was amused that I’d asked her to sign a pic where she’s brandishing an enormous gun… I told her how much I liked ‘Mafia Girlz’, the movie to which the pic is linked!

It’s not every day that you get to meet three of Private’s hottest porn stars, so I was left feeling rather starstruck! I just hope that the girls don’t get rained on too much when they set off on today’s drive-about through Central London!

Re: Betty Gabor

In 'Castings 12' we see an interview with Betty Gabor, recorded in 1998 at a bar by a bowling alley. Betty was 23 years old, and it had been five years since she had worked with Pierre Woodman for Private. Pierre admitted to her that he had lost the video of her original casting, and that was why he had wanted to catch up with her. She looked back with happy memories at her Private adventures but explained that these days she was working for a bank. Of course we are now several more years further on and I wouldn't know what she's doing today.

Betty is a beautiful Hungarian brunette with bright blue eyes and a stunning smile. I'll always remember her as the girl performing an erotic dance in a softcore sequence often used to link together scenes in early editions of 'Private Video Magazine'. She teases the camera while wearing a vest with the 'Private XXX' logo on it. You can see this short sequence resurrected for the beginning of Betty's chapter in 'Private Cumshot DeLuxe' (Scene Eight).

In 'Castings 12' we are treated to clips from Betty's pool-room scene from 'PVM 2', as well as video footage of her photoshoots for Pirate magazine issues 21 and 24. In 'Private Cumshot DeLuxe' we again see highlights of the pool-room romp, together with clips of Betty's pool-side scene from 'PVM 3'. My favourite moments are those where she raises her eyebrows and giggles at the camera while puckering her lips coquettishly and planting butterfly kisses all over the hard prick she is holding to her mouth. What a flirt!

End note.

Private has recently relaunched its website, but with a dramatic reduction in content and with the vast bulk of its archive no longer available. It remains to be seen whether all the classic photosets and other goodies will be eventually restored.

Does Private want to 're-boot' its brand image and consign its back-catalogue to inaccessible history - behaving as if the pornography of the past, however good, is ultimately disposable (and in that sense unlike the classic texts of mainstream media such as TV and film, which can be repeatedly enjoyed through different generations)? Or are the cynics right in thinking that Private's intention for its website is, over time, to phase back in the old material as 'update' substitutes for a full range of brand new content? Maybe it's simply the case that there was a strategic error in timing, with the new site launched too early - before enough work had been done to assimilate the bulk of the classic content to the new and more user-friendly format / categories.

One consequence of the new launch is the redundancy of a lot of forum threads which included fans' hotlinks to pictures from the old site with painstaking commentaries to accompany them. Most of these threads had been dormant for a long while, with no new readers checking them out, so arguably their redundancy is no great loss. But it does feel like the end of an era, all the same, with the forum as well as the website venturing into a brave new world, leaving behind a pile of precious baggage... here's to the future!
