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.
