Help Required with "The Fashionistas" Purchase

[jock]

Can anyone clarify which versions are available of "The Fashionistas"? So
far I have seen the following info. regarding this movie:-

Version 1:- In the English magazine 'Desire', there is a report on the film
which states that it comes as a 4 disc set (3 DVD's and 1 soundtrack CD).
This appears to be an R18 certificate version, which presumably means it has
been cut by the BBFC - Yes? BTW, am I correct in thinking that UK Customs
have been 'thieving' this movie?

Version 2:- A supplier which advertises in 'Desire' magazine has a
"USA-Import" 2 disc version which they claim is "totally uncut" and has run
time of 280 minutes.

Version 3:- Another supplier has "The Fashionistas part 1" which is branded
as a 'Shiva' release and has a run time of 140 minutes. I assume this is a
single disc release? Is Shiva the European distributor for this movie?

Also, a report in 'Fox' magazine states that the film contains pissing but I
have not seen any mention of this elsewhere - Is this the case, and is it
cut from any versions? Is the full US version cut compared to the full
European version?

Ultimately, what I am looking for is the full, multi-disc, uncut version,
from a UK (or mainland European with UK dispatch) supplier - Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help/clarification

Hi, As far as I can tell there ARE 3 versions.

The original Evil Angel US Release (NTSC).
The European release from Shiva (PAL Released in 2 parts).
The R18 Version (BBFC says cuts of 25m 22s were required).

Check out the latest DVD releases from Your Choice. We have the Shiva release (Parts 1 & 2) available for immediate UK despatch and in the limited stock section the original Evil Angel item.

So your version features no cuts, Jay?

[Jay@YourChoice.co.uk]

Correct, no cuts that I know of, both the EA and Shiva version are 280 mins. The Shiva version is only the movie on 2 discs, no audio CD, no 110 Minute Making of Featurette, no 45 Minutes of Bonus Footage, no Extended Fashion Show, no Bloopers etc. However I'm gonna take one home and look through the movie to see if there is any pissing action.

What a terrible job you have..........when do you retire, and have you selected a replacement?

Thanks for the reply.

According to Tricia Devereaux (from Evil Angel), the US verison is the full release - the fisting scene between Taylor and Bella was not included in any release.

Fox magazine mentions pissing, but there does not seem to be any confirmation of this; I would be interested to hear about your investigation.

Why not? (Re: fisting)

You'd think that they would include scenes censored or removed due to US law in European releases, wouldn't you?

So you can get the Shiva version from YC for 35 quid or for ten quid extra get the full four disk set. Correct me if I'm wrong. Fantastic!
