This is a curiously satisfying series. First, it's nice to see that you can still make porn in New York. Next, Rick comes up with new girls (he evidently runs ads asking for potential participants), who have an undeniable freshness. Also, the nature of the format — sex in public — means that while you don't get as much or as explicit hardcore coverage as in your standard porn vid, there's plenty of tease inherent in the package, which is also a nice extra. The whole thing is edited with a nice sense of pacing and fun, and if the idea of public sex gets you off, too, well, then, what else could you want?

Rick's first outdoor venture features Shannon Rush, a slender, feisty brunette beauty, with small, taut boobs and a great dancer's ass. Think Krysti Lynn, and you're on the right track. Shannon strips on the street in the (appropriately enough) meat market district, then couples with Rick on a staircase and rooftop, in view of the surrounding buildings. Very hot stuff! Next, Jewell Golden, a sunny midwestern blonde, long-stemmed and stiff-nippled, cavorts naked around Grant's Tomb, the 125th St. Bridge, and the surrounding parks. The standing fuck, of necessity a staple of this series, is impressively and very publicly executed here.

Here's a very different porn chick — Janice Flanders, a willowy, mid-thirtyish sandy blonde, who sheds her fur coat in mid-February to screw enthusiastically right on the banks of the ice-packed Hudson, mere feet from hundreds of cars streaming by on the Parkway. The finale has busty redheaded pro vet Rusty Rhodes offering up her ripe nipples for biting. An indoor costume-choosing session turns into a hot coupling, which is reprised in a cold park, as Rusty rubs her breasts into a tree. Rusty was never considered gorgeous, but she hasn't lost an iota of sexual heat.

Retailers should stock this whole series, and it's a reliable recommendation for both couples' viewing, and for the endless stream of folks looking for "something different." Here it is, very nicely packaged.
