Alexandra Silk, a toned, slender, brunette beauty, who first entered the adult video business in 1996 (to the everlasting gratitude of porn aficionados everywhere) is one of the great unsung starlets of modern porn. Despite having appeared in nearly 250 titles since beginning her career and receiving multiple AVN nominations over the years, Alexandra's name still draws the occasional quizzical look even from diehard porno junkies (even resident Adult DVD Empire porno guru, Diesel, had to think for a moment when I mentioned her name). Nevertheless, from personal experience, I can affirm that once Alexandra is seen in action, she is not readily forgotten. Having begun her career as an exotic dancer, Alexandra moved on to adult films after meeting Jenna Jameson and, maybe with the exception of Michael Jordan or Bill Gates, a better career choice has yet to be made by anybody. Alexandra's love of sex and playful, open and adventurous attitude towards all forms of carnal pleasure shines through in her every scene. I was first exposed to Alexandra's work when a friend loaned me a copy of Shane's World 11: Pier 69 (VHS), wherein Shane and her lusty pals suck and fuck their way through the city by the bay. Although unfamiliar with her at the time, Alexandra immediately caught my eye with her stunning figure and wide-eyed enthusiasm and zest for getting in the middle of any and all sexual activity. Whether gleefully receiving some vibrator pleasure while naked in the back seat of a car going 65 mph down the California coast or engaging in a quickie by the water mere yards from the local marine life and unsuspecting tourists, I was immediately hooked. Alexandra's natural beauty struck me as a cross between a younger Juli Ashton and Jennifer Aniston (If any of you have fantasized about watching Jennifer Aniston do porn, watching Alexandra will probably do the trick). She has a terrific, firm, tan, natural figure that doesn't quit (On her website, www.alexandrasilk.com, she attributes her great shape to "lots and lots of orgasms and sexercising." (I believe it!)) and, thankfully, unlike so many of her contemporaries, Alexandra has avoided implants, tattoos, unsightly piercings, heavy make-up and other unseemly body modifications which would only detract from her girl-next-door appeal. However, the average girl next door is probably not up for Alexandra's level of fun (and if she is, I sure as hell would like to know about it). For instance, one of Alexandra's earlier performances in D.P. Therapy, in which she engages in some triple-cock and DP action (her first filmed DP) with the famous (or should it be infamous?) Ron Jeremy and Don Hardman as lecherous doctors and their equally horny patient, is certainly indicative of more good things to follow. Although Alexandra's nymph-like playfulness would shine brighter in later films, D.P. Therapy showed that she was ready for the big time. Alexandra, who admits on her website that she loves orgies, never wears panties (yowza!), and takes meticulous care to make sure her pussy tastes as sweet as it looks, has repeatedly shown that she is always eager, comfortable and a true professional at both ends of the porn spectrum, whether it is a straight sex scene (e.g. with Nick East in Pink Janine) or eagerly guzzling miles of cock in The American Cocksucking Championship 3. (Alexandra is one of the few porn starlets I know who can orally and manually manipulate up ten guys at once, attempt to get four huge shlongs in her mouth simultaneously, and get showered with cum and still look like she is having the time of her life.) Volume 3 of Adam & Eve's Signature Series also showcases the lovely Alexandra's talents by compiling many of her best scenes. Of course, always the party girl, Alexandra wastes no time disrobing during the connecting interview sequences with Joel Lawrence and eventually wrapping things up with an energetic suck and fuck with her interviewer (Interview action like that might convince me to tune in to "Dateline" or the "Today Show" more often) Moreover, unlike most "interview" segments in porn films which send the viewer lunging for the fast forward button, Alexandra's interview segments (pre-fuck session) are equally boner inducing owing to her trademark playful, giggling demeanor combined with smoldering sexuality. Watching her laughingly answers Joel's queries while lustily undressing and curling about him like a sexual anaconda is great fun. Other notable films offering Alexandra's talents include Ladies Night Out 2 in which she pleasures Kyle Stone on the dock of a scenic lake (Alexandra is so hot that even the fish literally jump out of the water to catch a peek), Blue Aphrodite and A Witch's Tail. However, there is more to Alexandra's talents than skillfully swallowing cock and fucking like a true nympho. Like many of her more widely known contemporaries, Alexandra has also successfully branched off into directing and producing her own line of adult films. With partner, Tyce Bune, and Fallen Angel productions, Alexandra has produced her stylish "Silk" series (Silk Panties, Silk Stockings and Silk Ties) which, while not offering any fetish type action the titles may imply, still offer up solid collections of sizzling sex scenes starring "A+" porn talent and, owing to their less-than-hardcore content, are definitely suitable for viewing with an open-minded wife or girlfriend (or spanking on your own, of course). Beyond the sex, I have also found films produced and/or directed by Alexandra a treat to watch owing to their crisp videography, plentiful forward skip stops, and actual clear identification all the performers, both male and female (the lack of which in most other adult films is a frequent complaint of mine). Like her own sexual talents, Alexandra's directorial skills shine at both ends of the spectrum. While her Silk series films offer hot intimacy, all hell breaks loose when Alexandra takes the camera to the bayou for Tramps in New Orleans, a raucous carnal romp through Mardi Gras. (Alexandra cites Tramps on her website as one of her personal favorite videos). From some three-way action in the back of a van on the L.A. freeways to partying with regular joes in the streets of New Orleans to a wild conclusion in a seedy bar where Alexandra literally allows herself to groped, caressed, fingered, covered in ice and whipped cream and generally treated like a human Slip'n'Slide by the horny patrons (and treating one lucky fellow to the time of his life), Tramps is Alexandra at her sexy, playful best. Also, check out Sex Across America - Second Stop: New Orleans for more Cajun style fun with Alexandra and her sexy pals and Adult DVD Empire or Alexandra's website for a nearly endless list of other films featuring her impressive talents. Basically, if you are bored with some of the same familiar faces in porn and wary of trying your luck with unknown amateur, one-shot or first time porn talent, I heartily recommend checking out the lovely Ms. Silk, if you haven't discovered her yet. Alexandra's unbridled enthusiasm for fun, adventure and sex in all its forms is infectious and her undeniable sexual prowess and energy will definitely keep you "cumming" back for more.
