To say that this video has the Bare Essentials is not too far from the truth.  Director Bill Blackman found a house with a pool, six performers with no previous commitments for an afternoon and got his hands on a video camera.

More to the point, Bare Essentials is basically a series of improv skits where only Ron Jeremy and Sharon Mitchell come off as believable.  Thick-tongued Frank James and the equally Frankie Leigh discourse on how perfect everything is prior to some rote boning by the pool.  Afterwards, Mitchell appears in some sort of space suit.  She rambles on about being a female astronaut and her need to get back to NASA which sounds more like Nassau.  Rather than break some bad news to her that she’s in the wrong space zone, James gets a taste of her before she gets away.

The hot spot in this slice of video comes with Leah Lyons. Her pert figure and slightly Asian Sheena Horne-look add what production values this tape has to offer. While everyone’s doing everyone else, Lyons only makes it with Jim Jones, obviously her boyfriend.  She does a girl/girl with both Mitchell and Leigh, though.

Unfortunately, there’s too much of this type of blah video on the market, and someone should tell director Blackman he’s dancing with the corpse.
