We've seen several volumes of White Panty Chronicles, and it's becoming clear that the real secret of its success is everything but the sex.

Not that the sex isn't hot, it is -- even if the Amber Michaels/Cassandra Knight scene is cut off just as Michaels is about to give Knight the pussy-licking of her life. But despite the fact that the camera effects (b/w; shooting the monitor image) are a bit overdone, director/cameraman Spinelli's ability to capture his people off-guard as they prepare for their scenes, and to get them to chat about life and sex and the zeitgeist, will keep just about everyone's fingers off the Fast Forward button for the duration of the tape.

Spinelli's camerawork is excellent during both the pre-sex "glamour" posing -- mostly outdoors, on his patio by the pool -- and during the sex itself, with less emphasis on plunging organs and more on facial reactions. Sure, we might want to see Timber's pussy muzzling Frank Towers' face during the labia-licking, but Spinelli lets us see how much she's enjoying the experience by focusing on her eyes. Similarly, even after a bitter pre-scene argument, Brick Majors and Hungarian Jenny MacArthur tear up the sheets, and MacArthur's face shows that whatever bad feelings she may have about Majors, she truly loves his cock -- even though, afterward, she notes, in her delightful accent, "Sperm not delicious."
