The Fashionistas

Two things came together in perfect synergy so I could review today's movie: an absolutely empty office and a longer than usual amount of time to devote to my reviews. That all adds up to only one thing "The Fashionistas" a legendary award winning 4+ hour long porno I've been dying to take a crack at!

It all starts with a fashion show. What can I say, but that it's obvious that the models used aren't runway grade and neither are the clothes. The models are too curvy, sport obvious muscle and even a few unsightly rolls, the clothes are too short made from a material I can tell at a glance most closely resembles tshirt jersey cotton and nothing fills me with envy, desire or the usual shame that I've got too much ass for that particular outfit.

Things quickly heat up when the models are shoved off the stage by pleather wearing domes. I have to say watching that blond take a header off the stage after having her horrible outfit ripped off her body was definitely one of the better moments of none sex I've ever seen in a porno. These Dommes are there to offer a challenge to the designer watching the show on DVD.

Before long this wayward designer meets the usual buxom blond, who clumsily falls down right outside his hotel room door. Apparently she belongs to a vinyl clad Domme who slaps her and ushers her into the room after "bothering" their neighbor. The blond is spanked, loudly enough that the wayward designer is induced to investigate over their interconnecting balcony walls. The "Domme" here wears the outfit well but lacks the proper presence and her submissive lacks both manners and proper training.

While the sex that ensues shortly after the spanking is going on, I had to take a moment and admit that barely fifteen minutes in and I'm already loving this movie. The plot is better than its props and even its choice of actors and even if their concept of S&M is weak, almost as weak as their concept of a proper spanking, I feel perfectly justified in overlooking those small flaws as the story continues to unfold.

Sex break - I'm not usually a fan of the way Rocco Siffredi fucks and I'm still not but I must admit that Rocco's particular style goes well with the themes of dominance and submission. Rocco is brutal, has always been brutal and will always probably be brutal, so I don't find myself recommending his films often unless I'm talking to a femme I know really loves it hard, fast and nasty.

After Rocco's debut fuckoff is - yay more plot! I love the way that most of the fashion world thinks of Rocco as a bit of a prick as well as the shifting politics and favors of the trade as Rocco tries to gain support for his new, fetish inspired, line. The dominant women in the film continue to come up short, the lines are right but there delivery isn't sincere. Case in point: when the Domme Rocco met earlier shows back up as a simpering business head eager to please the big wig and get his approval of her ideas for his new line, I can practically feel her shivering submission. This lack of proper casting really begins to grate on the nerves; the powerful 'bitches' in this movie would have been better cast from the BDSM side of the industry for a much better effect. They could have still used the normal porn stars for the sex scenes, but their tops lack the real feel of command.

Thank dark gods for Belladonna and whoever is with her in the cage scenes. That blond - and that scene were definitely the best fetish moments of the film, the snarl on the blond's face when she starts spanking, that was more like it! Later a couple of masked men also appear in the cage with Belladonna and that's equally hot if you're really into BDSM, the rest - not so much.

This review is getting nearly as long as the movie! What did I think over all? Plot gets a complete 100% from me, yes there were some holes that could have been catastrophic on anything but a porno but for a porno I've rarely seen anything so complex and full of depth. You really get to know and love/desire some of the characters, which is always what I'm looking for with a porn plot. The sex was varied enough and unique enough that there should be something for most, who like it rough. This is not a movie for people who like more loving or sensual sex scenes! But if you're interested in BDSM but not fully part of the scene you'll probably get a nice kick out of this one.
