The Return Of “Vanessa”

As much as we like telling you about all the latest and greatest developments in the porn scene here at Fleshbot ("Rim My Gape 3", anyone?), there's a lot to be said about the kind of smut our parents used to sneak into dirty movie theaters to watch or loaded up on their Betamaxes after tucking us into bed (even if thinking about our parents' porn viewing habits freaks us out a little bit, but that's another story). Billed as "The Infamous Saga Of An Innocent Schoolgirl Turned Sexual Plaything", "Vanessa" was also trumpeted us the film that picked up where 70s erotic classic "Emmanuelle" left off upon its original release in 1977; apparently, that means even more exotic locales, overdubbed dialogue, all-natural boobage, and unshaven pubes than its better known predecessor. And at the very least, we promise you won't be able to stop humming the theme song after you watch the trailer for the film, which is being released in a newly remastered DVD version this week. "Vanessa, you are the girl in my dreeeeeams ..." Don't say we didn't warn you.
