More vintage porn reviews for the twick and sisted!

Today we're featuring a pair of my favorite starlets: Nina DePonca and Dominique Simone.

Before I go too far, though, I want to point out that somewhere in the mid-nineties, Dominique lost me as a fan. The reason? Bad plastic surgery. And I do mean bad. Check out the photos and judge for yourself. Honestly, I think the guy who mutilated her should be shot.

No, tortured... THEN shot!

As a beginner, the young Dominique was a natural, with lots of enthusiasm and fiercely magnetic sexuality (plus she reminded me of an old girlfriend), but somewhere along the way she was hoodwinked into thinking that bigger boobs and some facial reconstruction were the answers to her becoming a bigger star. Know what? She was right.

There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the size of her knockers and her relative fame, the biggest ones she eventually had sewn on making a huge splash with the large bust fetish crowd.

But they never seemed right to me.

If you look close, you can see a dark half-circle scar carved at the bottom of each aureole, the incisions used by some M.D. butcher to insert a pair of ridiculously over-sized bags of silicone. Take a minute to imagine that...huge bags of silicone forced into the chest of this naturally beautiful young girl...

It took a couple of tries at the boobs before Dominique was happy with them, and the first movie here - 'You Can Touch This' from 1991, features her completely au naturale. One year later in 'Nookie Court' (even by porno standards, a lame parody of the TV series 'Night Court'), her real ones have been slightly enhanced.

Unfortunately, she didn't stop there, and by the time 'Black Butt Jungle' was released in 1994, she had dozens of XXX features under her belt, had changed the spelling of her name from 'Dominique' to 'Domonique', and had been transformed into the pathetically hideous Michael Jackson lookalike that you see here before you.

She had also become the biggest black female pornstar in the business. So what do I know?

By stark contrast, the lovely and talented Nina DePonca (aka Jane DeVille, aka Feline, aka Nina Deponce) left her breasts and lips just as God had intended, also filming dozens of dirty movies before retiring in the late nineties. (Nina has since made a comeback, but more on that at a future date.)

'Taste of White', which was released in 1987, features a barely-legal Nina in a pair of scorching scenes that play back-to-back right smack dab in the middle of the movie.

I have to be honest, I don't really know what the plot is here, if any. Each scene is introduced by a pair of starlets, one of them Nikki Randall (who's the cover model on the box), as though there was some sort of thought put into a storyline. I couldn't see any real evidence of that, though.

What you do get is a series of unrelated pairings strung together and loosely based on an 'interracial' theme (even though there is more than one scene with same-race sex, including a steamy one between Nina and veteran F.M. Bradlee). And although Nina appears nowhere on the box and is reduced to third billing in the credits, she definitely comes off as the star.

If it weren't for the fact that each of her scenes here is stretched by repeating sections of it over and again to make it longer (My theory is Nina was so sweet that the guys just couldn't hold out any longer and the director had to figure out how to come up with more footage!), I would say this ranks right up there with her best performances.

Nina is an expert at the dirty talk, too, and in her second scene she tosses off a series of sexy syllables while Don Fernando puts it to her hard on the floor... “I'm gonna just lay here and let you fuck me,” says Nina in her best Betty Boop voice. “I want you to fuck me good.”

Nina never did achieve the fame that Domonique managed to get (even after her newer stuff has come out), but I tip my hat to her anyway for sticking with what God gave her and making the most of it.

I'll take natural milk bags over the Pam Anderson kind any day.

All three of the Dominique movies you see here (I can't really recommend any of them, but her scene in 'You Can Touch This' is pretty hot, marred only by the fact that her partner is a muscle-bound ham) were purchased for four bucks each at a local used book store that also sells 'smut' (the shop-owner's term, not mine), and 'Taste of White' was another rare find on Ebay that I stole for $3.99 plus shipping!

There's more on the way, so stay tuned!
