I'm not quite sure why I liked this wacky-but-predictable tape as much as I did, but let me sum it up – it's the best AFV release of the year, with lots of well-covered hot sex and an excellent box shot of the increasingly popular Celeste. She plays Cindy Crawford-manqué Sindy Crawlforward, complete with beauty mark and supermodel career.

Celeste joins in with pretending-to-be-gay photog Steve Drake and new AFV contract star Steffi, getting in some heat time with both in a poolside threesome. Enter her past, in the person of blackmailer Steve Austin (in a nice, nasty, non-sex turn), who threatens to publish early lesbo nudes (from a nice girl/girler flashback with Deborah Wells) if Sindy doesn't pony up. Sindy/Celeste appeals for help to sleazy P.I. Joey Silvera, who sells her out and splits the publishing profits with Austin. The happy ending (and we mean ending!) comes when actor Richard Gereshaft (Woody Long), smitten with lust by the photos, and in need of tax help, proposes marriage to Sindy, sealing the bargain with sizzling anal penetration and a climactic facial.

Mikki Lynn turns in two fine, natural scenes, with Joey and in a threeway with Drake and Steffi, for her best work ever; and Steffi, a leggy, tan brunette with pretty, cupcake titties and stiff nipples, is a find, too. Rumor has Sindy returning in more features; keep Fred Lincoln at the helm, and keep this standard, and AFV will score another winner series for the catalog. Don't miss this.
