From: Joey Markham ([email protected]) Subject: REVIEW: "Where The Boys Aren't" Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 12:08:19 -0400 (EDT) WHERE THE BOYS AREN'T director: Judy Blue. Vivid, 1989. running time: 73 mins. cast: Barbara Dare, April West, Summer Rose, Fallon; Joey Silvera, Paul Thomas (non-sex roles). and introducing: Tori Welles. rating: 5 out of 10 stars (or Imperial rating: 2.10 / 4.00) Joey's a porno movie director and Paul's a producer/writer. Paul has a script that he wants to film but wouldn't you know it, he seems to have the greatest difficulty finding any male talent. Of course, all these girls come out of the woodwork all hot and bothered and ready for filming. But Joey tells them there is no girl/girl in the script. This gets them upset. Paul says at one point, "I hate girl/girl. That's why I didn't write girl/ girl. I think girl/girl is stupid" and at another point, "I don't understand why they have to put a girl/girl in every single video. It doesn't make sense. It's stupid, it's boring" (ironic for someone who thinks Janine is the next best thing since sliced bread!). Anyhow, the girls start rehearsing lines among themselves and get caught up in sexual situations on and off the sets. In the end, Joey's considering directing an all-girl video but Paul still isn't sold on the idea. (Scene 1): Tori Welles, Barbara Dare - Tori here is pre-boobjob and looks stunning with a mane of dark hair she loves running her fingers through and flipping over from side to side. Barbara is a bushy haired dirty blonde with great natural breasts and a sexual manner that almost gives her a butch attitude. Tori's the insatiable sex kitten while Barb's the intense, give-it-to-me vixen who quivers with intensity as she does a little face-sitting. Tori's box is completely bald but neither of their pussies are shown off in close-up shots. There are some sparks of heat, yet it doesn't get scorching. (Scene 2): Tori Welles, Barbara Dare, Summer Rose - This scene is sort of distracting because there are others sitting or walking around in the background. These three women look happy enough to be there and they taste eachother with hungry tongues but it's kind of tame. (Scene 3): April West, Fallon - April's a pretty, short-haired blonde with a semi-wholesome look and very nice breasts and Fallon's a long-haired brunette with sort of flabby breasts but an intense way about her. Fallon always strikes me as the kind of girl who looks like she has a lot of sexual energy packed inside of her, but never really lets loose most of the time; also, when she squirts (which she doesn't here) she still looks as if she's holding back from either screaming in orgasm or clenching her teeth and pouncing on her sexual partner(s) some more. Both girls do look eager to satisfy eachother's urges and the brief highlight, for me, came when April vigorously rubbed her right breast over Fallon's pussy. You can tell by the expression on her face that she's crazed-to-please her partner. Overall, a fairly hot lez scene. (Scene 4): Tori Welles, Fallon, Summer Rose - This threeway isn't as hot as it is sensual. They do the usual sucking and licking eachother and there's variety in the positions (no daisy chain, however) but it doesn't go any more than the usual moaning and panting. Summer Rose is a performer from the mid-80's and her hairstyle proves it. She looks like a generall happy-go-lucky woman, but I don't find her all that attractive. Tori and Fallon prove more enthusiastic and look good slurping eachother up but basically this scene just slurps up quality air time. (Scene 5): Barbara Dare, April West - Things start off slightly intense as the girls are practicing some lines and move their heads closer to eachother, about to kiss. You can really feel the erotic energy that both of them are withholding, instead of lashing out right then and there. When they do jump eachother's bones, it's not quite a lash-out session but a vibrator and dildo 'been there, done that' chapter in the eternally growing library of girl/girl sequences. Barbara toe-fucks April a bit, and darn it West gets that nasty look in her eyes as if a caged beast yearning to be set free, but no climax is reached. A good start, but lousy finish. Quality out, "Where The Boys Aren't" is just your average girl/girl outing filled with pretty ladies. April's bout with Fallon is the only interesting scene. Tori is gorgeous, as always, but look elsewhere for her higher- calibre work. Barbara's a great catch as well, with a sort of tomboy-ish appeal, but you'll only want to watch her scenes on a dare. One good thing is that all the women are natural chested, but even that can't pull this one out of the slump. Perhaps if you like sensual lesbian scene you'll enjoy this more, but for the hardcore explicit dyke-seekers out there, this one will just work better with your remote control. Either rent this for the one good scene, or at your own risk. Joey Markham [email protected]
