PORN VALLEY, Calif.—It's often said that the adult industry is like a big, semi-dysfunctional family, but our day on the set of Darcie Dolce's Perfect Touch was pretty light on the "dysfunction" and pleasingly heavy on the "family." That might have had something to do with the fact that Darcie both co-wrote the four scenarios that comprise the feature, and co-directed the scenes with her husband, Marc Mojo, whose only other help on the set consisted of one gaffer/second cameraman.
"Yeah, it's me and my husband that come up with these ideas," Darcie said. "Some of them, I'll come up with; like I came up with the Lesbian Fortune Teller idea and the massage one. The first one we came up with together The Lesbian Landlord [full title: Darcie Dolce The Lesbian Landlord], because we were living in this apartment in the middle of Hollywood at the time. You know how it is in apartments; you know, the AC doesn't work or there's a leaky faucet or something, so we incorporated that into each scene, and then there was an eviction notice, so there are all of these issues, just normal stuff you'd deal with living in an apartment."
Perfect Touch, a sex toy-friendly pic that was almost titled Toy Drive or Sex Toy Story, was released this week by Filly Films, a company with which Darcie has had a long relationship, and for which she directed Lesbian Landlord, as well as two others. But even though Filly was recently sold to Smash Pictures, the couple have remained in the company's favor, even as they establish their own mini-franchise within Filly, Dolce XXX Productions.
"We're pretty happy that Filly Films has recently been bought by Smash Pictures, because now we have more budget for girls, because before, there wasn't a budget to get very good girls; you had to like get in touch with whoever you wanted and kind of go, 'Hey, can you ...' It was almost like doing me a favor basically. But it's cool. We did The Lesbian Landlord, My First Black Girlfriend, Darcie Dolce's Manipulative Massage—I was a masseuse for that one—and then Squirting Stepsisters, The Fortune Teller—I think five or six, something like that. Now we're doing this one. It's a toy movie, so there's a toy in every scene."
Though Squirting Stepsisters and The Fortune Teller are apparently yet to be released, that hasn't stopped this "dynamic duo" from pressing forward on all fronts, often with just a couple of days between projects. And Darcie herself has been super busy. As she wrote AVN in an email just two days before shooting on Perfect Touch was to begin, "Sorry for the delayed response. I flew in from Florida yesterday, DJ'ed last night and flew to Vegas to shoot with Brazzers today and I will be back to go to the [AVN] noms [party] tonight! It's been a crazy week to say the least!" D'ya think?!?
But once everyone had arrived at the luxurious "shoot house," the good spirits among cast and crew were everywhere apparent, and even though Darcie and Mojo were somewhat pressed for time—everything got rolling about 1 p.m. and they had to vacate the premises by 6—everyone cooperated to get the stills done in time for the women to enjoy themselves with fingers, tongues and toys.
But the time pressure did cause some changes in plan. Originally, Darcie and on-screen partner Jessa Rhodes were to begin "asleep" in their giant bed, and then go out the sliding doors to the in-ground hot tub for sex, but considering the time it would have taken to reset the lights and cameras, not to mention the chilly weather, it was decided to make it an indoor scene after all.
While we don't know how well Darcie and Jessa knew each other before, once together on the bed, they certainly behaved like besties, discussing which positions each liked and planning how and when to do them. The eventual result was a flurry of fingers and tongues that began with the pair kissing and Darcie licking her partner's nipples before applying her tongue to Jessa's asshole while fingering the blonde beauty's pussy. Jessa then makes a dive for Darcie's clit, which sends the tiny brunette into ecstasy, as does Jessa's tongue massage of Darcie's ass. Then, it's table-turning time as Darcie rises up and slams her pussy down on Jessa's mouth, then reaches under a pillow and brings out a red glass toy with which to pleasure Jessa's pussy—and does it ever! Finally, the pair embrace for some deep kissing.
Moving right along, Mojo and assistant reset lights and camera in front of a comfy-looking futon couch in the living room, and the next pair of actresses, Aidra Fox and Janice Griffith, took their places for sex stills before getting down to the real action.
The contrasts between the two women are immediately noticeable. Aidra is reasonably tall, lithe with long reddish hair, where Janice is shorter with her hair done up in pageboy style—and yet sexually, the two mesh beautifully. As the scene begins, both gals, dressed in short-short jeans with Janice in a red tube top, embrace for a kiss before tearing each other's clothes off. Aidra then pushes Janice back on the futon and dives for her pussy, causing the tiny brunette to keen with ecstasy—and make her own desire to lick some clit that much more urgent. Of course, Janice gets her chance in short order, and with Aidra's heels digging into her back, Janice brings Aidra to at least a couple of obvious orgasms.
Turning Janice over into doggie position, Aidra finds a glass dildo and promptly applies it—and soon after, her mouth—to Janice's butthole and pussy. But pretty soon, the toy is nearly abandoned as the pair collapse into 69 position, then scissor themselves to ecstasy before a short tribbing finale.
While we weren't present for the movie's other two scenes, Darcie described them for us.
"Yesterday we shot Emma Hix with Kenzie Reeves, and then the second scene was Lilly Adams and Alina Lopez," Darcie stated. "The one with Emma and Kenzie, Kenzie says, 'I'm gonna go study,' and Emma is chilling by the pool and hears Kenzie not actually studying—she's masturbating with her toy—and decides to join her. Then, in the second scene, Alina is still awake and can't sleep even though Lilly has fallen asleep, and Lilly wakes up to Alina masturbating with this cool little glass toy. Very simple but real sexy."
