Every year since 2009, Elegant Angel trots out its all-star lineup for Performers of the Year, designed to be one of the biggest releases of the year—if not the biggest, period—for the company. And each year it succeeds in being just that: a tremendous package from start to finish.

Giving us seven timeless scenes featuring an A+ cast in beautiful locations, director William H. always gets exceptional footage in what’s become a “must buy” for fans.

Kicking things off with superstarlet Gracie Glam, H. goes right for the kill. Glam is superb in every way here and turns in her most intense, passionate performance with Manuel Ferrara, who pushes her a little more sexually than we’ve seen from her—light breath play, foot fetish and spanking.

Gracie actively rides his dick in cowgirl and Manuel even briefly manages to plug her asshole with two fingers. This scene is the primo example why sun-kissed, all-natural Gracie was named Best New Starlet.

It was a big year for Asa Akira—her first interracial, d.p., anal and blowbang. The footage of Toni Ribas slowly plunging his prick in her starfish is priceless—and spontaneous. Anal spoon is the best footage here, and Asa is positively dynamic.

Tori Black does her best work with Elegant Angel. Pick up copies of Tori Black Is Pretty Filthy 1 and 2 along with this movie for further evidence. Her pairings with Manuel are always explosive. They rut in about five positions—before he puts it in her butt. There might be no hotter scene in all the porn kingdom than Tori with a fat cock in her ass.

There is great playfulness between Kristina Rose and Erik Everhard in their scene. Erik takes great pleasure in pounding all three of Kristina’s holes, and she complies with some stellar P2M and A2M. 

Jayden Jaymes also seems to turn in her best performances for Elegant, ramping up her intensity and, well, becoming dirtier. Her boobs bouncing in r.c. while Erik plays with her pierced clit is almost too much for her to take ... in a good way.

Phoenix Marie gets creative with James Deen’s popshot. He explodes on her face while she sucks her own toes, after which she proceeds to lick the cum off her little piggies.

Each tease sequence is exceptional, too. From Gracie’s outdoor self-exploration in natural sunlight in a yellow one-piece zip-up bikini, to Asa playfully teasing in the shadows in black mesh lingerie, to Kristina showing off her phat booty in red lingerie outside, William H. showcases each girl’s beauty. Any picture during the teases could be in Vogue.

Bravo Elegant Angel and William H.!
