Misleading advertising section:
"Watch the world famous porn icon get licked, sucked and fucked".
Fucked? Who wrote this- Bill Clinton?
"Silvia is joined by 10 other cock hungry babes!" Tendentious, to
say the least [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/tut.gif[/img] Naughty, naughty, Private [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/bobby.gif[/img]

P. have pulled out most, if not all, of the stops for their all-time
fave covergirl. For me, in this SS is very much a side-issue; there
are girls here who could give her more than a run for her money,
even as she was in her heyday- and of course, they are doing b/g,
not footling les vignettes. In a way, the fanfaronade over the 'star'
might be read as a slight to the other, harder-working, girls; nothing
against Sylvia, who has given us all much pleasure over the years,
and still looks great- I just don't see the point of a 'testimonial'.
Presumably she still hasn't managed to snare that arms-dealer [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]
After all that weird Ribas lighting, it was with relief that I
anticipated a return to the universe most of us live in [me included-
for most of the time, at any rate]. As it was, I was in for a very nasty
shock, and discovered a universe that very few organisms would want
to live in, not even the fabled Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
Widescreen.

Add:
Leanna Sweet;
Malina;
Martha T.;
Tira;
Cindy [15];
Emili Doll [non-sex]..
The credits use 'Sylvia' and 'Silvia' interchangeably. Lily as Gilda
Roberts; Cindy as Veronica Clinton; Martha as Denyse; Malina as
Linda Brown; Samueline as Gina:

1) Sabrina [another tattoo, outer right calf]- bald anal, +Zenza Raggi.
Good:

2) Regina- bald b/g, +Ram.
One of the best of the newer crop; an excellent performance is marred
a little by excessive shadows and the occasional bout of soft-focus.
Ram wears an absurd shades-and-beanie combo throughout, which with
his facial hair makes him look like a paedophile on a fishing-trip:

3) Malina- alfresco BJ, +Ram.
Malina is very, very good-looking with a great body. I just wish
that birthmark wasn't in such an, um, unfortunate place.
A mere BJ is a waste of cuteness:

4) Leanna- bald anal, Lily- DP, Martha T- bald b/g, and Tira- bbg,
+Thomas Stone/Denis Marti/ZR.
Lily is her usual enthusiastic self; Martha has a great body; but for
me the star is Tira, easily one of the most gorgeous creatures I've
encountered recently... my only quibble would be that occasionally
[although not here, thankfully] she lets it show that she'd really
rather be somewhere else- although in fact she doesn't get much of
a chance in this poorly-executed scene to anything much. And I do
wish they'd stop bunging those silly wigs on lovely Lily, who was
similarly victimized in 'College Girl Revenge'- you can see her
registering her opinion below.
The main trick with these dimly-lit club scenes lies in getting enough
light in when it counts, and this effort fails in that crucial regard.
To compound the error, what light there is is often too reddish. It
looks as if there are two fixed spotlights, one for each group, and
it's only when group and spot happen to coincide that the action is
at all clear. Martha, who spends a good deal of the scene in the
foreground, is the main beneficiary of this technique. All the other
girls lose out by it. I suspect there is a Circle of Hell where sinners
are made to watch scenes like this- it's damnably [geddit?] frustrating
to see people screwing without being able to discern any of the
details... Romagnoli finally remembers what light is for [namely, to
ILLUMINATE things] at the money-shots, but by then of course it's
far too late. A criminally wasted opportunity:

The club environment opens the door to all sorts of silly pretensions,
amongst them the sporting of masks. Ram pops up wearing a long-nosed
carnival one [and not a gondola in sight!]- the kindest thing I can say
about this is that it's slightly less horrendous [by, say, about 0.0001%]
than the shades-and-beanie effort.
Also features some uncredited non-sex club cameos. The 'angel-wing'
blonde seems familiar, and I'm fairly sure the blonde in the chains is
Stephania Bruni:

5) Cindy [bald] and Sylvia- les.
Cindy is a handsome girl; what a pity she only had a brief foray into
b/g before returning to the safer haven of bubblegum-porn.
Intercutting the early part of this scene with dancers in the club was
a mistake- too many distractions. A good bit of the ensuing action is
clearly shot but there are parts where dry ice or the haze from lights
intrudes. I think Destiny can be glimpsed at the fringes:

And do I detect some collagen in those lips? Maybe she's just been
sucking raw Scotch Bonnets [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]

A brief outdoor shoot follows, featuring Emili:

6) Samueline [!! That's gotta be a first] and Sylvia- les.
There are some nigh-perfectly shot bits in this but the whole is again
marred by pretension. There is an audience [masked, natch], a dry-ice
machine and a glaring yellow spotlight which is intermittently trained
on the action- if that's not a recipe for disaster, then I've never
cooked Disaster Pie with a side-order of Special Fried Disaster, to go.
I've included some of the more spectacularly egregious effects [for
which I apologise in advance] to give you an idea of exactly how far
the director has disappeared up his own arse:

7) Sabrina- bald DP, and Simony- anal bbg, +ZR/Alex Forte/[??Anthony
Hardwood; iafd substitute AH with 'Pager Imre', whoever that is. AH
does, and PI does not, appear in the credits].
Sab wears a domino, as do the guys, whoever the Hell they are. I just
couldn't be arsed to verify, and FF'd right through this abortion of a
scene. Romagnoli has pulled all his tricks together and added strobe
lights and back-projection in an appallingly-lit misfire. I was so
disheartened by this atrocity that I didn't even care that my beloved
Simony was in there somewhere, helpless and beyond the reach of any
possible succour, whilst Crimes Against Videography and Beauty were
being ruthlessly perpetrated upon her. No caps, as you can probably
understand, but here are two BTS ones of Simony to remind us all
exactly why Romagnoli should be doing hard labour and iron-filing
kasha in Putin's New Gulag:
