Our newest video, The Statue, is now available… Here’s the synopsis…

Fantasy meets reality in this sexy story of provocative transformation and a lifelong fantasy come true. Beautiful newcomer Collette de la Motte stars as a lonesome janitor who spends her breaks and lunches gazing at a hauntingly beautiful statue of a muscled warrior from hundreds of years ago. Perched high upon a pyramid waterfall, the lovely janitor finds herself intoxicated by the spell the statue has cast. Intrigue and attraction develop over time as reality soon emerges.

I recall that one of the Gold Key Comics paranormal titles from the ’70s had a similar concept (might have been “The Twilight Zone”, or maybe “Boris Karloff: Tales of Mystery”) with an Amazonian statue that comes to life and saves the life of the artist that created it.

I haven’t heard about that Alex, but I’ll certainly look into it. The statue theme is one of our more popular titles as I was really happy with how the guys made Wanda into a believable looking sculpture. *Sighs* Verrrrrrrrry nice.

Hey BTW, Part 2 is up now!! Woo-hoo!!

My review of Transformed (25$) by Thought Provoking Studios.

What I’m gonna say is my personal opinion, my sole opinion, I’m not saying that what I say is either right or a universal truth. It’s just my opinion, you’re free to ignore it, and please don’t be offended by it.

I’ve been finding myself in total agreement with Mimi’s reviews of Awefilms’ clips. Having her English knowledge, I would have written what she wrote about most of those clips. I love the way she’s keen on muscle and power display, always looking for fresh and artistic instalments in the boredom-dominated world of female muscle videos. And, just like her, I also prefer sweet and neat eroticism between girls rather than nudity and raw sex. Thus, I’ve been keeping an eye on TPS since I knew she was behind it.

As you may have already understood, saying that I’m disappointed would be an understatement.

First of all, let’s say that I’m not going to bash it because of the cheap “transformation” scene. I knew that, being this clip a live action and not an animation, the transformation would have been off camera. That was fine for me.

So what? Let’s start with the worst and most outrageous fault, the lack of value for the customer’s money. Despite the transformation “plot”, everyone knows that what the audience wants is finely shot girl on girl action. Girl on *muscle* girl action, that is. Yet, almost half of the clip’s length does not feature any buffed woman. Ten (ten!) out of twenty-four minutes are nothing more than kisses between two very chubby girls (6 minutes) and close-up shots of a creepy cocoon made of clay (about 4 minutes). Since I’m paying 1$ per minute to watch this clip, I feel rather unsatisfied to say the least.

So, can we expect something good after 10 minutes of pure deep nothingness? Of course not.
The chemistry between Kimberly Marvel and Lil Doll (or w/e she’s called) is the same one of water and olive oil: they just don’t match. There is no feeling, no passion. Actually, I didn’t know that lesbian action could be so boring. The dialogues are awesome too: once you’ve listened to Kimberly saying “you’re so perfect” four times in a row, you really feel like you want to tell her “ehy, can I buy you a thesaurus for Christmas?”.
It’s not just these women’s fault though. The cameraman doesn’t know what is sexy and what is not, he doesn’t know what to shoot, and he just keeps doing random close-ups that just don’t work. Also, I don’t see the point in the “grainy” video effect. Have we been waiting twenty years for high def clips just to plunge them in a grainy effect that makes them look like they’re low def?

Really, Mimi. Please don’t take this on a personal level, but I can’t really believe you like this clip. Do you remember when you so positively reviewed Awefilms’ “Lifts and Lust” (with Amber Deluca and Hayley McNeff) saying “I felt at times she was daring me to kiss her just by the look in her eyes”? If not, please watch it again. Because “Transformed” is nowhere near that kind of standard.

J2001,

First of all, I’d like to say that I didn’t take your critique of our video personally. I knew full well that when we went public with our studio, that I would be putting “us” up on the public chopping block for all to say yay or nay. No harm, no foul, sweetie. I understand perfectly. 😉

Having said that, I have learned so much from our shoots this year. One of them being that there are countless (and I stress countless profusely) outside extenuating and aggravating factors that go into a shoot. While it’s no excuse, I do agree with virtually everything you said. Mismatches, no chemistry, and just not a lot of “wow”. But, the irony here is that Transformed is slightly below Love at First Sight as our all-time best seller. Now, if you want passion, honesty, and a genuine attraction between two women, I highly recommend Love at First Sight.

True story… one model showed up to one of our shoots, saying she had never done girl/girl romantic videos before. I happened to be on that shoot, and I couldn’t believe it. I said to her, “your profile said you do fetish videos, you SAW our website and you didn’t SAY anything??” I was livid.

So what can I do? Try better. Learn from this and try to make each one superior to the last. Our goal from day one is to raise the bar. We can also eliminate outside factors from affecting our shoots… late/no-show models, amateur models, etc..

Thanks for your insight and reminded me what it’s all about, J2001.

Peace and Love,

~Mimi

Since beginning your site,..do you feel that you’re having what 1 could name a successful year??

[Mimi]

Hello hello!!

My apologies for being away for so long. It’s been a busy busy few weeks around here, trying to line up new shoots and what not. I hope I’m quickly forgiven…

We were able to get Emery Miller in our latest shoot called Allure. Pretty simple title given how easy she is on the eyes. The guys experimented a bit with lighting in this, and came up with some beautiful results in creating an evocative, sensual mood. One scene in particular gave me goose bumps when our buxom model Hannah licks Emery’s arm… wow… trust me when I say you’ve NEVER seen anything quite like it in muscle worship videos.

Here are some samples from our shoot… *Sighs* I can’t tell you how much I ADORE Emery’s definition, and mass. It takes my breath away just looking at her, and they perfectly captured every sacred vale of hard, delicious muscle.

But we want to continue to put out quality content. We’d love to hear some of your ideas for upcoming shoots!!

As always, thank you for watching…

Peace and Love,
~Mimi
