I don't usually heap praise on a movie like this, but I have seen at least over 1000 porns in my time, and I would have to say that Fashionistas is the best porn I have ever seen bar none. I have no complaints at all (well, maybe the scene where Manuel Ferrera does a girl in the back of the club rough could have had a better looking girl instead of the one they used) but other than that, it's the best i've seen by far. It's got long scenes but still has a story, it's shot on film but looks so good it's like you are watching a feature film or television. Some great fetish with rubber, bondage, rough sex all over the damn place. An awesome g/g scene with Taylor and Belladonna. Belladonna churns out three of the best scenes I have seen in a long time (1 g/g, 1 g/b/b and a scene with Rocco).
I just can't say enough about this film. Take the best gonzo you have seen, put a story to it, and shoot it on film that looks very cool, with awesome fetish gear (lots of rubber), lots of bondage, and great rough sex, and you've got yourself a winner.
Why didn't anybody do a movie like this earlier? It's everything that Ass Collector wasn't.
Ass Collector had very short sex scenes (6 or 7 minutes long) and had some dude running around dressed like a woman, but didn't look at all like a woman. I think Rocco would have been better off if he used a real transsexual to play the part of the Ass Collector, I'd rather watch a real transsexual fuck girls than some dude dressed as a girl that looks nothing like one. I think he was shooting for the Silence Of The Lambs thing, but it didn't work very well (for my liking anyway)
I can't wait for the Fashionistas dvd to come out, I'm curious to see what kind of extras etc. Evil Angel has planned for this release.
Evil Angel has relly outdone themselves with this one.
Extremely well done movie. The best ever, hands down.
I've been waiting for someone to mix the two genres successfully (gonzo and feature). John Stagliano has done it and done it better than I've ever seen it before. If this movie does not win best of the year in every category something is very wrong.

M.B., thank you very much for this information. Once I saw the fantastic-looking box cover to The Fashionistas and read up on this movie, I reached a solid decision to get the DVD as soon as it comes out. However, based on your review, I don't know if I can wait until January. I might decide to order the video now and still get the DVD later.

And the thing is like 4 hours long, a juggernaut of porn.
I still can't get over how good this damn movie is. I can't say I've ever seen anything like it. Combines gonzo and big budget porn perfectly, the sound was feature film like, the picture is pristine, and this was on vhs. Imagine what the dvd will sound and look like. It is one of a kind.
January is a long time to wait for this on dvd, but I guess I'll have to.

I don't know if there's any internet sites that rent VHS. I really doubt it. Too bad, though.

As for the DVD, there will be 3 discs (one that represents each of the 2 VHS cassettes). The third disc will be extras-only.
Making-of featurette
A couple other behind-the-scenes extras.


The fetish menu will most likely be on disc 2, with the extra sex on disc 1.

The film was transferred directly to DigiBeta, and we will be mastering back to DigiBeta for encoding to DVD. So I think we'll be pretty thrilled with the picture. Of course we're going to keep a top-notch bit rate.

Glad you liked it! So much of the sex in this movie comes directly from inside John and I. It was totally our baby all the way, and we're going to treat the DVD the same way!

If you like the idea of great sex set into a story, you might want to check out (rent if you don't want to purchase) Buda, or on a lesser story-level, Face Dance Obsession. They were shot on video, not film, and don't have bondage, but they do have the great sex set around a story element. The first has Rocco. The second has Nacho Vidal. Enough said!

I've got Face Dance Obsession on dvd, which I loved by the way. I really enjoy a movie that will give even just a bit of story to spice things up a bit. But that still has that gonzo element to the sex, it's a great combination. Mostly because you have given the characters reason to be having sex, which in turn makes a sex scene hotter, instead of the same old "Hi I'm Betty and I'm gonna fuck this guy now". Boring, boring, boring. You know she is there to collect a paycheck and that's all, at least a litle bit of a plot makes things interesting.
Are there any plans for a Fashioistas #2?
Is it really going to be January when this dvd is released? I was hoping we might see it out a bit earlier. I eagerly await this dvd.

We don't know anything either way for a second Fashionistas. There were one or two things left open at the end of The Fashionistas, but it's tied up enough that if there was never a part 2, people would still feel like there was a good ending.

It looks like January 6 (EA's first January release date) is the earliest that we can get the DVD out.
With the holidays cutting a chunk out of that time, that means that there's about 2-3 weeks we can't use.

We were going to wait until February, but I've dropped ALL other projects until this is done. Adventures of Buttman and Buttman at Nudes a Poppin' 13 have both been postponed so I can focus completely on The Fashionistas DVD set.

I hate to say this, but dust off your VCR, and rent/buy this film now, it's that good!

I just finished watching it a few minutes ago and it was everything everyone said and more. The only thing that even makes you realize it is so long is that you have to switch the tapes other than that I would have even noticed.

Great job John and Tricia.

Babexx,

Maybe for consistency in production, Private and Dorcel is very tough to beat. But once in awhile other companies will come out with a winner that blows almost everything away.
It sounds like Fashionistas may be one of those titles.

I'm still waiting for the DVD release in a few days to get my copy and find out.

The movie is that good. I am more than a little jaded in the adult video department (15 years and over 1000 movies will do that to you) but this one beats them all.

The only thing some people may have against it is it's strong S/M plot line and sex scenes. Some people may not like that but on a strictly film making basis it is perfection.

The strong S&M plot line (and the quirky avant/underground fashion cult theme) is a big part of what makes it. That, and watching the wonderfully ample curves of Taylor St. Clair and Belladonna sheathed in all manner of latex and other fun "fabrics." And other stuff, of course!
