Chanel No. 1

Director Laurent Sky continues his tradition of high-contrast, high-end, high-fetish filmmaking with Chanel No. 1, the debut flick for Club Jenna's recent acquisition, the strapping and vaguely terrifying Chanel St. James.

I call her terrifying with the greatest of affection, of course. St. James looks like she just stepped out of an episode of Xena, with hair as black as activated charcoal, dark eyes, and a lanky frame that's packed with power. Even her breasts look muscular.

So needless to say, she's impossible to look away from, and as befits an amazon of her stature, director Sky fills her freshman flick with an array of batshit insane bondage imagery. Here are some examples:

St. James finds Tommy Gunn tied up with a ball-gag lodged in his mouth that sprouts an ashtray holder. (Oh, did I mention that this title caters to the smoking fetish, too?) Somehow St. James dominates Gunn until he climaxes in her immediate vicinity.

St. James and Lexxi Tyler meet in a blinding-hot-pink room where they proceed to have dildo-sex with each other on a snow-cone stand.

A blue-wigged Holly Wellin gyrates on a basketball court while two naked guys stand in darkness. She whips them with a riding crop, and then they start masturbating. An LCD scoreboard ominously reads 13-0. I am not making this up.

Fetish filmmaking like this leaves me behind pretty quick, because I simply don't have the sexual vocabulary for a lot of it. Watching a woman use a penis pump on a fully erect member -- is that hot for fetishists? I don't know. I can say that I generally dig Club Jenna titles because they get some of the best talent. I'd like to see a few more pairs of real breasts, but what the hell -- thumbs up for Chanel No. 1.
