Yesterday's Mailbox
Scoopy,
I'm looking for good-quality stills and video of De'Anne Power from the
"Beverly Hills Bordello" episode entitled "Forbidden Fruit." De'Anne is a
striking, mature (mid-30s) and sophisticated blonde who plays a harried
executive who poses as a employee of the bordello in an effort to get her
sexual mojo back. She shows full nudity during the sex scenes, including a
full light blonde bush, unusual even back in the day when women has
bushes. :) If anyone out there can post this material, much appreciated.

Today's Answer
Hey Scoop,
I noticed in the Mailbox that 3finger is looking for De'Anne Power in an
episode from Beverly Hills Bordello. I happened to have that one, so I
made the captures and contact sheets. Didn't have time to capture still
frames, but I can get to that later. I'm uploading them tonight.
Tell him that I also have her on DVD in "Rod Steele 0014" if he's
interested. Just let me know.

White Fire
(1984)
Made in Turkey and originally released as Vivre pour survivre, this is a
story of a would-be diamond thief and his sister-turned-accomplice. They were
orphaned when their parents were shot by the military for some reason we never
learn, and were raised in Istanbul by a random man they met on the beach. As
an adult, the sister goes to work for a diamond mine, and the sibs smuggle
diamonds out of the mine and sell them.
A rival organization wants in on their business, and the competition heats
up when a huge legendary diamond (White Fire) is discovered. Everyone in the
known universe is after it. The sister is killed during a kidnap attempt, but
bro is not so easily detoured from his thievery. He picks up a hooker in a bar
gets her plastic surgery to look like his dead sister, because the show must
go on.
Since this plot was not nearly confusing enough, the director also brought
in B-movie superstar Fred "The Hammer" Williamson to play the predictable role
of the pimp who wants his girl back on the job, new face or not.
The existing English dub of this film is third rate at best; whoever wrote
the dialogue was incompetent; the acting is awful; and the picture quality
makes VHS seem like Blu-Ray. The only plus is the nudity: Belinda Mayne, as
the sister, does a lengthy full frontal getting out of the pool.
Has anyone ever seen a good movie from Turkey? The Turks just don't seem to
be able to adapt their taffy-making expertise to film-making. As bad as this
film is, it may be the Gone With the Wind of Turkish cinema!
But it is still a turkey. A Turkey turkey.

The Making of the Carousel Girls Calendar
(1993)
Some videotapes will never make it to digital media. The Making of the Carousel
Girls Calendar should be one of them. This is, for most of its running time, a
standard strip and pose - no wiggling at all - kind of tape. Gals get nekkid in
two settings, once while they are posing for this calendar while riding a
carousel ... you see where the title comes from ... and again out in the wild
somewhere. The carousel posing is partly behind-the-scenes of the photoshoot and
partly a more free-form, clothes-free romp. All that is just dandy and it takes
up maybe 60% of the tape time. The other 40% is not so dandy as the folks who
shot this tape turned it into a documentary about the photographer. One would
not object except he is made out to be some sort of artist who sculpts and
paints and only lately chose to shoot nekkid gals on film because that is just
as legitimate a medium to work with.
He is a latter day Toulouse Lautrec, this guy - just as humorless
Only taller.
And no beard.
Anyway the gals look good and were this a DVD I might still be capping it. A few
of them you know from real movies - Julie K. Smith, Samantha Phillips, Erin
Ashley and Shelly Jones. Several others come with two names but seem to have
done little more than pose for Penthouse - Robin Brown, Sasha Vinni, Shandra
Rollins, Amy Morgan, Gina Passarella and Dawnya Welsh make up that group. With
three women we are on a first-name basis only. Those would be the Pleasure
Twins, Jennifer and Justina, and a pneumatic blonde named Heather (weren't all
over-inflated blondes in the early 90's named Heather?).
Do keep in mind this was from an old videotape and so the quality is nothing
to brag about...so I won't. But as I stated at the outset, videotape is all we
are likely ever to see of the Carousel Girls and their calendar.
