Fleshbot’s Friday Five: Dana Vespoli

Some may consider porn to be a young woman's game, but we'd kindly suggest that they don't know what they're talking about. Sure, there's a lot to be said for the charms of a barely legal lass, but there's even more to be said for a woman who's been around the block enough times to really get a feel for the neighborhood, and knows what she wants so well that she's an award winning director. Dana Vespoli may be a few years into her forties, but the only number we've ever needed to know about this stunning performer/director is the one that tells the world that she's a perfect ten.

If you're not yet familiar with the work of this lovely lady, well – you'll forgive us for saying that we're somewhat shocked to hear it. But since it's never to late to get acquainted with a beloved porn great, we've got a list of scenes that'll help you understand why twelve years into her career, we're still not bored of Dana (and, for the record, we're pretty damn sure we never will be). 

Forsaken: Dana started directing porno films a few years after she started performing in them, but this release marks her debut as a director for Evil Angel (one of the most coveted gigs around). She's featured in three separate scenes, our absolute favorite being her tryst with Phoenix Marie, an equally perverted porno vixen. If you've ever wondered what happens when two equally deviant divas get together and fuck, well, this scene should give you some idea. There's strap-on ass fucking, rimming speculum play, and even a bit of footing (you know, when someone sticks a bit of their foot inside their partner). Though it's challenging to balance the duties of both performing in and directing a scene, Dana always manages to make it look easy... and, it should go without saying, incredibly fucking hot.

Hot Body Ink: Though Dana's most definitely a MILF (both in age range and fact: she's the mother of three kids), she often manages to escape getting pigeonholed into "mature" roles and scenarios. There are probably a number of reasons why (for one thing, she looks way younger than her years), but it's probably at least in part due to the fact that, well, her alt fashion style just doesn't scream "suburban mom." We love seeing Dana featured in a release that celebrates her beautiful body art; especially since (ahem) it also takes the time to celebrate her beautiful body, too. Dana warms up the action with a delightfully teasing blowjob before letting co-star Mick Blue dive right into her ass (fingers first, then plowing her full on with his cock). It's a nice reminder that being a mother doesn't mean giving up the finer things in life (because we all agree that the finer things in life are tattoos and butt sex, right?).

Evil Anal 19: If you've been operating under the strange assumption that lesbian sex is sweet and kind, allow the delightful Dana to disabuse you of that notion. As the name of this release implies, Dana's scene here is anything but gentle; she dominates Gina DiMarco POV style, fucking her with a strap-on before leaving her bound and gagged to be discovered by Manuel Ferrara. Dana may only take part in part of the scene, but she offers a memorable experience – and proves she's just as able to give a girl a night to remember as Manuel is.

Girl/Boy: One of the best things about Dana – as both a performer and a director – is her willingness to push boundaries and explore the unexpected. In "Girl/Boy" she takes on the notion of gender roles, playfully bending them as she explores a whole host of sexy scenarios. Dana performs in two scenes in this volume, but the one to watch is definitely her threeway with Ramon Nomar and Valentina Nappi, which has Dana decked out in butch regalia (in this case, a suit), and strapping one on to double team Valentina along with Ramon. It's a wonderful variation on the traditional B/G/G scene – and it's fantastic to see the relish with which Dana uses her strap-on to explore all of Valentina's holes (not surprising, really, given Dana's penchant for performing with other women). 

Maneaters 4: And for those of you foolishly wondering if, after all these years, Ms. Vespoli's still got it going on: let "Maneaters 4" (one of her most recent releases) be a reminder that she most definitely does. Dana – who, it should be noted, gets the front and center position on the "Maneaters" cover – gets paired off with Rob Piper, who follows her every order as she dominates him through the course of this delicious scene (which features a whole lot of dirty talk, pussy and ass eating, some foot worship, and, of course, Dana's pussy showing Piper some seriously intense pleasure.)
