Hot Chicks Do L.A. is a very good lesbian feature that should have known when to quit. The women are beautiful and the sex scenes, mostly one-on-one pairings, have a lovely, romantic bouyancy with excellent video coverage and lip-smacking color rendition.

Then, however, someone got the bright idea about doing a cast finale on a yacht, and, sadly, all the good work goes right down the drink. I don't know what's worse — the obsessive interest in lensing a hovering helicopter or the decision to shoot the sex scene as though Hard Copy were tracking O.J. with a telephoto spy camera. The effect doesn't work, but what does are the previous scenes as lensed through the imagination of lovely Salem. Salem's an outdoorsy brunette with a tight body and great tan lines, and she fantasizes about different girls she sees at a local lesbian bar/hangout.

Salem's strawberries and whipped cream coupling with lovely Honey Wells is reason enough to buy or rent this tape and her later finger-probing scene with Valeria maintains the same fluid texture and pace.

With five girls in the cast, one might come up with a more resourceful way of pairing up partners, nonetheless, Gabriella and Christine have two scenes together — lovely and well done, but this certainly exposes holes in the feature's fabric.

MTV-style exteriors and establishing footage set the look of this vid well apart from its brethren, but striving for effect in the wrap-up effectively kills the pacing of this vid.

For something different in this genre Hot Chicks Do L.A. offers your customers a nice alternative to the usual fare.
