Avis à la une

In porn, casting increasingly is everything, especially since storytelling is being abandoned in favor of "chemistry" (the industry's most-abused word) and gonzo sex. For this edition of the often tiresome (and endlessly repetitive) MDEC series, we have four outstanding "ladies of a certain age", headed by the unique Dee Williams, doing their XXX thing with a lineup of newly-minted porn starlets.

Watching an old episode of "Criminal Minds" in one of those MeTV style marathons, I was struck how venerable actress Veronica Cartwright (cast as a serial killer whose son has taken over her "family business" of serial killing) resembles Dee -facially, especially those magnetic eyes. Yes, Dee coulda been a contender in a better, more ecumenical Hollywood, taking on character roles instead of her career as fetish artiste supreme turned MILF porno superstar.

Here she is particularly endearing, shepherding her daughter Jessie Saint into the MDEC, trading her to MILF supreme Syren De Mer in exchange for sex with Syren's striking offspring Destiny Cruz.

More than a hint of incest is dangled here, as the moms are quite chummy (and touchy/feely) with their daughters prior to serving them up for sex with the other mama in this edition. In fact, the show begins with an unusual flash-forward teaser depicting mom Christie Stevens grooming her beautiful blonde kid Harlow West. Footage is repeated during the appropriate vignette later, and Harlow is quite a beauty, ending up with fetish domme Anastasia Pierce. I was saddened by Christie's surprising new look, joining the plump ranks of BBW actresses, but perhaps it merely represents, in golf analogy, a movement from PGA tour to the Seniors circuit.
