The Two Faces Of Eva

One shaves her pubes, the other doesn't, one came of age in the 70's, and the other 30 years later, one allows double penetration and facials, the other demures. But they are both named Eva.

The classic porn company VCX has released a trunkful of Golden Age titles, including "The Second Coming of Eva," a delightful 1975 romp in which redhead Eva (Swedish Penthouse Pet Brigitte Maier) sheds whatever thin pretense of innocence she once had at a randy sham boarding school where the sideburns are as long as the pubes.


Meanwhile, at the dawn of the next century, the not-so-innocent (after all, she's a mom now) Eva Angelina stars in a series of vignettes directed by Jonni Darkko in which the thick, bespectacled, and xup-besotted Latina takes all comers in whatever entrance is currently available.


Of course, nothing connects these two movies other than the name and the fact they arrived at Fleshbot West in the same month, but it is interesting to see the tradeoffs porn has made through the years.


I, for example, would have liked to have seen much more of Brigitte Maier, but I was genuinely charmed by the sense of fun in "Second Coming."

And as for Eva Angelina, well, she's so winning in person that I think a movie would sell even if she kept her clothes on a moment longer. Sure today's Eva can deliver in one minute what it took the old "Eva" a popshot-free movie to get around to, so I guess what disappeared in the past three decades is the free time to wait for it.
