After Lauren Canyon's opening striptease number followed by her frenetic masturbation where she works herself up like a human nuclear generator, the inevitable question on the part of the viewer is, where are we going with this? Stick around, because you'll discover that Bionca's first directorial effort gets even better the longer you stay with it. Despite some toe tapping around a banal plot that has laid other all-girl efforts to waste and some really trying banter, Where the Girls Play manages to cart home the groceries before it suffocates in the carry-home bag.

Porsche Lynn and Madison are owners of the Miss Demeanor Club, an all-girl establishment that sadly needs either more customers or cast extras to fill its seats. Porsche and Madison have to come up with a gimmick and Porsche wants to throw the doors open to let, you know, g-u-y-s into the joint. This doesn't sit well with Madison. Of course, the real reason this bar doesn't have customers is because all the employees are fucking each other in the back office instead of drumming up business.

This becomes readily apparent in the threeway with Porsche, Aja and Madison where Madison's got her fingers stuck in Porsche like Ralph Kramden's bowling ball. I defy you to tell me if any of the girls moans the words, "financial planning," at all during this roundelay that also features Madison donning a strap-on to slam it into Porsche.

Two major scenes dominate this feature. Summer Knight with Porsche Lynn is definitely an awards nominee. It begins with a striptease with each gal pulling the other's clothes off with her teeth. Then the beer bottles come out and foam gets sprayed which slides slowly down the girls' respective ass cracks after which the segment becomes a melee of fingers, dildoes and anal beads.

Nikki Wilde and Heather Lere, in the other major scene of note, saturate one another with baby oil and perform some really dirty deeds, the very least of which is a torrid strap-on penetration of Heather. My only real qualm with this scene is the seemingly abrupt transitions created in the editing bay. This is one action sequence that practically begs to be aired in full.

Like the traditional Broadway curtain call, Where The Girls Play like most all-girl videos, closes out with the requisite cast orgy, but only four members of the cast actually participate--Madison, Heather Lere, Aja and Summer Knight.

I suspect once Bionca relaxes and really cuts loose we're going to see some phenomenal things from her. There's every indication that between her and Bruce Seven, the all-girl genre may be where all the heavy-duty action is in the future. Pretty box cover.
