Surveying 100 or so Playgirl videos from a decade ago, "Sensual Playground" has rewarding segments with many of its femme stars well-worth catching.
Among the highlights are the beauty Ahryan Astyn opposite Danny Mountain in "The Watcher" with Randy Spears doing voice-over (uncredited) instead of Danny's familiar British accent. These vignettes are pantomimes, a porn tradition dating back to the original stag movies and still workable.
This segment, as most of the others, is performed bareback - a practice which has made me wonder about the target audience here. For Wicked and Vivid among other major labels, the Couples films stressed safe-sex condoms on screen, yet Playgirl does not -go figure.
BDSM and lesbian icon Aiden Starr appears in a change of pace humping another Brit, Tony DeSergio, after taking her bath one morning in a glamorous and romantic interlude.
Bobbi Starr, who was poised for stardom when this was shot, unveils her throwback hairy vagina in an effective tryst with Franco Del Torro.
Breast in show honors go to Charisma Cappelli, whose big fake tits are their own reward in the opening segment. She doesn't resemble Capri Cavanni, but the names always seem to confuse me, especially since Capri used to call herself Capri Cavalli. They should have duked it out back circa 2008 and come up with more distinctive monikers.
Finale has sexy purple prose narration, stemming from a novel being read by luscious Carolyn Reese, who's serviced by Cheyne Collins, an important porn actor of a decade ago when acting was more crucial than today.
