I was asked to review a couple of spanking vids for Red Hot Video Productions. Now, I have to admit I had some serious doubts about a video with spanking...just spanking. No bondage, just chicks getting their asses beat. I had never even seen a spanking video, let alone reviewed one. But I took a chance on RHV #18: Spanking Some Divas, because one of the girls is none other than Liz Tyler, who has a cult following for her videos with Dan Hawke, Insex and others. So, she was the impetus for me to go see this one.
The tape has a pretty simple premise. Model comes in to strut her stuff for the photographer, model has a major attitude while doing it, and photographer decides he's had enough of her shit and decides to teach her a lesson.
The first segment features bondage model Maklaryn, who has a cute face, round squeezable tits and a couple of strategically placed tattoos that pissed me off to see her mark up her body like that. She acts like a total bitch during her shoot, so the guy takes her over his knees and spanks her ass over and over until her cheeks are red. Her reaction is to cry realistically and beg him to stop while he paddles her, and it's actually a very enjoyable sequence watching her suffer like that, with some humorous cutaways to a female passerby who listens to her screaming through the door. It was fun, and the most successful portion of the DVD.
The second, and longest section of the show highlights Liz's participation, and begins with her modeling her own line of lingerie and acting like a rude prima donna. When she refuses to put out her cigarette after the photographer tells her he has asthma, he takes matters into his own hands and grabs her by the ears and gives her a long spanking. Liz is alternately indignant, threatening him, and other times screams and cries like it really hurts her. The shifts in tone bothered me, and it might have worked better without her ad-libbed dialogue and concentrated more on her earning her punishment. By the end, though, he really lays into her in an explosive array of smacks to her ass cheeks.
The final segment, with a model named Alexis, is by far the weakest segment, with the least attractive women giving the least convincing performance. The scene has a lighter, jokier tone that doesn't work at all, and feels like a lesser copy of the first segment, but without the sense of fun. This one feels like filler tacked on at the end.
All in all, a mixed bag for me, but there's some decent stuff here. I can understand the appeal of spanking videos a little more, and it's good to see some bitches get what's coming to them. I can think of worse things to do with an hour of my time, that's for sure. Next time, though, tie them up.
