Thank fuck for Girlsway. Dana Vespoli or whoever is in charge of Sweetheart has totally ruined that company with all the gonzo-ish squirting and anal, and now Mason has done the same with her "triumphant" return on LesbianX.

^ Have you missed the "gonzo" squirting and anal that GirslWay has done? I like it that GirlsWay mixes it up with the more traditional g/g stuff and more "gonzo" (for lack of a better word) scenes.
[Tweet is no longer available] There was some buzz in the past year regarding cute g/g only performer Riley Anne (Kali Renee). She tweeted about wanting to shoot more lesbian scenes including GW, but not much seemed to happen. I saw this scene pop up in the coming soon section yesterday(feb release) and she appears to be working for other companies as well.

There are some Girlsway scenes that knock my socks off and then there are those that are clearly overdone. By overdone, I mean I can tell that both women are faking it and all the potential heat leaves the room. I am a Girlsway fan but a scene between Chanel Preston/Sydney Cole was very disappointing - if women were as easily orgasmic as men, there wouldn't be plethora of articles and diagrams so men everywhere can earn an authentic orgasm instead of her having to fake it to get any kind of sleep. Another equally disappointing scene was Abella Danger paired with Emma Hix, a superstar is only as good as the talent they are paired with and in that case, not nearly enough steamy, sizzling chemistry. That's the problem with G/G gonzo fast paced approaches because inevitably, you end up faking bliss instead of building up to a satisfying finish. I haven't seen all of GW scenes so I don't think this is too widespread an issue but it would be nice to see performers with real chemistry being put together instead of a rip off of a scene that makes you turn the DVD off.

The latest entry in the 'Girlsway's Newest...' series has GOTY April O'Neil being seduced by Lana Rhoades in Girlsway's Newest Director. I like this pseudo-vignette series. I hope it eventually leads to scenes between all of Girlsway's newest "employees." Edited by - Aya on 1/26/2018 9:38:42 AM
And today is the debut of Naomi Woods in Let Me Warm You Up: A True Story. And she's paired with true Girlsway Girl Kristen Scott, who's perfect to test a new girl.
^ Yeah, it's just a product of how much content each studio puts out per month. If Sweetheart do 2-4 anal or squirting scenes a month, that's almost half of their content per month. If you aren't into older/younger or anal, there was only one scene in December that potentially could interest you. But, if GW does the same, it's around 10-20% of their overall content per month and there will definitely be something else that interests the typical fan coming out in the next few days if you don't like today's offering. My bigger issue with Dana's work is that while the stories are typically fun and in some cases a lot better than GW, something almost always gets lost in translation and the sex feels like it never gets out of first gear.
Exactly. Girlsway puts out a billion scenes per month. Meanwhile, there are only 5 out of the last 20 updates on LesbianX that don't involve anal, gaping, or squirting. Mason spent too much time in Guy/Girl porn. Edited by - Shadow115 on 1/27/2018 5:36:23 PM
^something has definitely changed compared to Mason's previous body of work from the club59/elegantangel era. What was so good about those scenes was that literally just the performers and the camera were enough to create extraordinary passion and chemistry. There was a good mix of softer more sensual scenes and harder ones. They never needed all these toys or extreme acts. I find these latest scenes from LesbianX to be bit forced and not as authentic since the scene feels dictated by a theme and the focus of the scene becomes about "gaping" or "strapon dp" rather than chemistry between performers and them focusing on each other (not that this is absent, just less than it used to be)
YES, Julia Ann definitely needs to work with GW again. She recently did a scene with Elsa Jean and I can't stop thinking how perfect those two would be for a Mommy's Girl scene. Actually, Julia Ann paired with any young blonde would be enough for me; she fits into that motherly role so naturally it doesn't really matter who she is paired with, she knows how to make the scene great regardless.
^^^ I don't think it's a shock that even with the nature of porn awards, LX got completely shut out last night. For every scene so far that's felt authentic, there have been four others that feel like they're solely gimmicks and g/g for people that don't like g/g. Even the authentic feeling scenes for the most part have an older/younger or big boob gimmick. Tori's scenes with Aidra and Adriana are the only two scenes on the entire site that are just two girls without any sort of gimmick having sex with each other, and even then one of them is on a couch in an empty warehouse and the other on a mattress on a floor of a nice house instead of somewhere where people would actually have sex. GW definitely isn't perfect (and really, no studio is), but there is absolutely no question that their aim is to make porn for the g/g audience and if the b/g audience likes it too, that's just a bonus. That's the same way Club 59 was and it's a shame LX is the opposite. In other news, Vampires won for best thriller last night and Sara Luv won best actress for The Faces of Alice. I'm not surprised that Vampires won as GW has done very well at the award shows the past few years, but I was honestly shocked Sara won. I haven't seen any of the other nominations from other studios, but I thought Alexis' role in Fantasy Factory was the strongest lead performance on GW last year.
In other news Jillian Janson is rubbing down Jill Kassidy for All Girl Massage in The Tired Client. Hopefully this means she will make her long-awaited return to Girlsway soon as well.

Mason & company realize the vanilla lesbian porn market is pretty much saturated. They figured if they were going to get in, they had to be different. I'm not a fan of the direction taken by LesbianX, but do understand the reasoning. As for porn awards, the explanation as to who or what won won't be easily found with your eyes. But, there is no harm trying to come up with a rational reason. I was pleased to see Jill Kassidy winning the AVN newbie award. I think she is deserving, but don't pretend to know that's why she won.
^^ Oh, I'm not saying in any way that the nature of the awards are in any way not the way you describe haha. I was referring more to the fact that outside of the Tori showcase, there wasn't anything that really generated buzz for the brand after the launch. Meanwhile, there were other brands in the Gamma/Mile High family that did, thus why those brands/films/scenes got the awards push.
My only comment on the comparison debate above between Girlsway/Sweetheart and LX is that Mason seems to be the only mainstream g/g director producing any anal scenes on a regular basis. I hear so many contributors to ADT saying how LX should be more like Girlsway or other 'softer' sites but spare a thought for those like me who prefer anal (and I discount Kink which is way more extreme than what I'm talking about); we get practically nothing.
Is it really wanting Mason to shoot softer stuff or is it more a wish that she would shoot scenario driven lesbian scenes that include anal in them? I appreciate that Mason shoots g/g anal porn but while I enjoy some of them. Most don't do much for me because it's still pure gonzo porn and it suffers from the same issues I have with gonzo porn. That said. It's possible that Mason would not be able to do decent scenario driven porn scene because that is not the kind of porn she shoots.
^My understanding was that those who wanted Mason back in G/G wanted non-scripted authentic Lesbian porn without any gimmicks like she did back in her Club59 days. But it looks like the niche in G/G she will actually be filling is Gonzo G/G with a heavy emphasis on anal, toys, and squirting. Girlsway covers story-driven G/G with a emphasis on camp, comedy, and fauxcest with an overall lighter tone, which occasionally includes anal play and squirting. Sweetheart is scripted as well, but follows the traditional G/G film style with slightly more realistic scenarios. So the 3 companies together do cover a lot of the main G/G bases.

I would like it if Girlsway would give Chanel more serious erotic scenes to work with: so far I've seen her with Charlotte Stokely & Sydney Cole - both scenes were more fun than erotic and far more faked than real. How can I tell? Because if you can talk through the throes of a powerful, toe curling orgasm; odds are you aren't actually having one. Most people are reduced to 'Oh fuck' and that's about ALL they can manage. Yes I understand the demand for new scenes is at an all time high but trust me, faked BS orgasms will not win the hearts and minds of viewers. Sinful Scorpio, Passionate Aries
^I must've overlooked any apparent flaws in Chanel's scene with Charlotte; I was just elated to see them paired together. Edited by - Starry Eyes on 2/1/2018 11:01:10 AM
^ It's clear she got it because she's a contract girl. With all of the shit she's said about how it's "proper" for women to like being harassed in the workplace as well as her political leanings, it's a slap in the face to have her be the rep for a lesbian site in 2018.

^ You hit the nail on the head. I actually blocked her on twitter after finding out she voted for Trump.
^ To be clear, I could care less who someone votes for. However, if you're actively calling people who disagree with you losers and being strong in your support of a party that fought so hard to keep gays from having basic rights, you do not deserve to rep a lesbian website. Period.
I'll leave the political discussion to others. Yes, she is a staple of a site that depends on older women for many of their scenes. So, certainly see her as a worthy choice. As for the future GOTM, they are now 3+ years into the selection process. Most of the favorites have been selected. One possibility going forward: Scarlett Sage.
I won't be catching up on GW scenes until I return home. If any of you have watched the full Jill Kassidy/Nia Nacci scene, please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
^^ It's a little rough around the edges (setup is really rushed and there's too much tribbing), but Nia showed a lot of potential to me that makes me hopeful that GW found another WOC performer that the fans will like alongside Chanell Heart. I'd really like to see her with someone that's a more skilled g/g performer next (not that Jill's bad, but it's also clear she's still developing as a g/g performer as well) to help her out a bit more, but I'm looking forward to her next scene.
^I wonder with all the confusion about her actually being interested in G/G if there will be a next scene, since this is actually only her 2nd ever G/G scene since she started. Whoops, she actually has another one coming with Sweetheart video. Knowing the Girlsway-Sweetheart connection, maybe that shouldn't be too surprising. Maybe LesbianX is next. Anyways, the scene in question is The Lost Phone. Interesting that they chose Jill Kassidy to break in a Newbie, when she like mentioned is pretty fresh to G/G herself. But speaking of WOC, I would love for them to bring back Misty Stone.

I saw Scarlett Sage in a scene with Jelena Jensen once, I tried to enjoy it but it was so incredibly dull. There are some scenes for Girlsway that draw me in like a moth to a flame, others just leave me wondering why they put two stars together who have no spark between them.

I usually find Charlotte to be a reliable performer but Chanel trying to play the straightlaced mom was a joke, they could both form coherent sentences with serious oral going on? Watch Kimmy Granger, Casey Calvert or even Shyla Jennings in the throes of a powerful orgasm - they can barely remember and say their own names let alone talk you through it. I understand the hype of two industry veterans getting it on but it would have been nice if the scene had lived up the billing. That's honestly why I often like scenes with at least one performer who is extremely versatile and easily able to adjust to bring out the best in the other person. Sinful Scorpio, Passionate Aries
Although we may have a different opinion of a particular performer here, our viewing of lesbian porn scenes may be quite similar. Often if I don't feel an attraction to either/any of the performers, don't even bother to watch the trailer. As for your last point, there is often no way of knowing what the spark is going to between many of the pairings. It's not feasible to only pair up women who have worked together before. Porn depends on new faces, always has and always will.
And Moka Mora who I've been waiting on awhile has made her Girlsway debut with Mindi Mink in The Wet Dream. She's one of the recent debuts I hope returns soon.
^ Not my favorite MILF as well, but she does a good job. Get ready to see more of her, as I think now that Brandi Love is the current GOTM, Mindi is the next MILF in line to grab the title, which is likely to happen this year.
The issue with oversaturation of one model comes from them not mixing up their release schedule. If there's a month where a model shoots three scenes most of the time they'll be released close to each other. Just like what's happening with Kenna James. I wish they would sometimes hold a scene back for when a model goes on a break or signs a contract.
