Brief Synopsis: Part 24 in the hallowed series, this time topping in at nearly three hours. As always, the girls are fresh to the porn scene, paired with the usual array of experience guys, usually in either a full one-on-one or strictly blow job scene. And as usual, the results are a mixture of either side of the spectrum. Director Ivan serves as a hypeman of sorts, which may or may not effect your enjoyment of this picture. Here we go!

[Scene One] Katya (with Sascha)

First up is Katya, hailing from Russia, who waits and chats briefly with director Ivan as her partner, Sascha, showers. She admits that he's not quite her type, even as they compare sexual track records (her "five" versus his "oh, seventeen hundred or so"),after which pawing quickly ensues. While standing they undress, running fingers between each other, Katya kneeling in her heels to

begin blowing her partner's stack. In cowgirl he fiddles with

her ass as she keeps the pace going, voicing her approval as they switch to

missionary.

Sasha spits at their conjoined crux, supplanting the glide while turning his partner's leg up

for a deeper push. He sits on

the couch for another of Katya's gentle sucks in break, still

coaxing his fingers around her ass for more fiddling.

In reverse cowgirl, the

pair reaches its swiftest bit of
momentum, bouncing along famously as the skin slaps and Katya arrows
the air with her shrieks. She keeps to massaging her

clit as they switch to spooning, finally
culminating in a doggy-style play atop a now heavily-

misted couch, a
greasy streak of everything smeared against Katya's thigh. Dismounting

himself, Sasha unloads in a few gushes across his partner's face,
painting one eye and

dripping the rest down her chest. The chemistry
between the two is pocked at first (what

with Katya seeming to
accommodate director Ivan while trying to maintain a hold on her

performance) leading most of her attention to the roving camera, though
Sasha does coax

a more bestial cry out of her once the scene
progresses into its final, smeary throes.

Unfortuntately, the
post-scene is intruded by Ivan, who poses a few questions that leaves

Katya somewhat
dumbfounded, even as she's gleeful and respectfully obliges his approach, cum glazed as she is.

[Scene Two] Shirley Dimples
(with CJ Wright & Justin Long)

Director Ivan sidles into a seated Shirley, uncommonly cute to a fault, and chats about a

few moments in her checkered past (bullet wounds,

specifically, courtesy of her back-home

neighborhood miscreants), showing off a beautiful Southern smile & demeanor, despite the

trials

& tribulations ("good golly gracious!"). Blindfolded, as is the tradition in this series,

she's approached on either side by a dark-toned dick,

to which she raises her hands and

begins lotioning each one with her spit and fingertips. In reveal she spouts "hi!" to the

boys attached to

those pricks, assuredly keeping her stroking and sucking as her eyes

widen and the fellas begin to tease her pink ruffled underwear. With her wide ass raised

in a perch, one begins his slide in doggy while the other is attended to via Shirley's

courteous mouth, her blonde curls bobbing with each new stroke. The boys switch off,

smoothing into cowgirl, an opportunity to see Shirley's dirty soles as she, once

again,

approves with the muffled cry of a busy mouth.

Spreading her legs apart, the dudes offer plys while she tugs on the other, prompting

the
strokee to aim his climactic dose across her smiling cheeks, dripping
slowly in a brief

relish the moment. The second thrusts for a bit, uncorking thick dots atop Shirley's

eyelids and forehead. The scene promptly ends with Shirley admitting that the
collected

wads are about to sting her eye shut, so she yelps, tiger-striped with
white, as we fade

out. Even from the very start, Shirley never really
disappoints (though, understandably,

only when she's semi-blinded with seed),
keeping her generous spirit split between her

two chocolately partners,
a real pleasure of an experience. All the cock-stuffing,
however,

dented what we all could have heard, vocal-wise, in a
one-on-one scene, but here's to

plenty more of Shirley in the future, in good faith, and in cuteness!

[Scene Three]

Talia Tyler (with Eric Swiss)

With a female voice behind the camera this time (final credits list "Team Anabolic", so who really knows), leading to a slightly

less kinetic approach for Talia's scene ("my first, non-amateur", she says). Somewhat lanky herself, she's soon blindfolded and leaning

couchside as a mystery prick stands erect for her piericed lips to meet them. "Can you take

it all the way down?" the

camera's voice asks, to which Talia responds with a deep

throated intake, shaking her head across her partner's dick in a confirm

& deny pattern.

Blindfold off, Talia's eyes drip with mascara tears, & unfazed she blows more furiously,

allowing her boy to grip

and thrust as she buries her knees in the carpet. Bottomless now,

she raises her legs (and lucite heels and white fringe socks) for

reverse cowgirl, hopping

up and down as the rest of her garb is undone once & for all. In standard cowgirl, her

spine arches out

as Talia grooves onward, her partner fingering that tiny asshole of hers

as the shoes finally come off for an easier ride. However,

the excitment is somewhat

dwindled by Talia's pose-heavy demeanor, playing more often to the camera than to her

partner (who, as

it happens, doesn't seem to mind).

Missionary continues in a flip, with a brief break in which our boy stuffs Talia's panties into

her
bald pussy, spreading her lips open with his fingers and pulling them
out (and I don't

know why, either). He lifts her up on the arm of the furniture, rocking away into Talia as

she
panders a nail-biting play upon us. On the floor the action continues,
with more

tugging and tasting and lovely jerks, flowing into a
doggy pump that leads to Talia rescuing

nearly every drop of her
partner's spunk, swallowing it down like a true champ. Afterward,

the
camera lingers as the clean-up continues, though not much else of
consequence

happens. As rail thin and as appealing Talia is to
look at, her performance suffers the

all-eyes-on-me syndrome, though
her oral skills are quite wonderful and stunning in their

own right.
Her mugging is a little too much to suffer, however, squashing the
otherwise

fine amount of excitement she's capable of drawing out of us.

[Scene Four] Daphne Flor (with Justin Long)

In interview Ivan introduces Daphne, chatting about Pittsburgh and hockey, acknowledging her rookie status despite her cool

& collected tone. Now in a blindfold, she suffers his

proddings with a girthy dildo ("Is your heart beating?" "Yup, still alive."),

soon offering the

real thing by way of a nude gentleman caller/cocksmith. On her knees she keeps her

handlings and strokes

eager and pleasing, unfolding her blinders and continuing, carried

via her long blonde hair (his choice). Standing up, Daphne

undresses in seconds flat,

something that Ivan is keen to note, as Daphne's cheekiness is exacerbated by her

smooth, busty frame.

She keeps her kicks on while allowing her partner to grip her scalp

and plunge, lying on the couch (chest out), gripping his knob

between her glorious globes

and slathering it yet again with her tongue.

The thrusting keeps on with the camera hovering in near

point-of-view
style, slowing to a

crawl as Daphne's partner anoints her open mouth
with his joint's juice, downing it all in

one gulp. A few stray hits pool between her chin, neck and
chest, all of which she licks

upon cameraman Ivan's demand (though,
really, she's already done). Too cool! Though

the scene's tone
is more blow-happy than all-out fuck fest, it's wonderful to see a girl
as

eager to please (and show her fine self off) as Daphne,
steadfast despite her assumed

nervousness and/or reservations. She's
quite good at what she does here, and being one

of her first scenes, hopefully a sign of more greatness to come, for all of us. Yes!

[Scene Five]

Ryan Hunter (with Sascha)

In the meatiness department, one could only imagine a cross between Penny Flame and

Flower Tucci, though newcomer Ms. Hunter

dares
those dreamers with a reality (from a

visual standpoint, to be clear).
Clad in a bikini and ready to go, the introductory moments

are few as Ryan leaps to her knees and begins blowing
her partner almost immediately.

He grazes the scope of her voluminous
ass and spread her cheeks as she keeps his wand

smoothed, giggling as they continue onto the couch.

Briefly into cowgirl, Ryan coos her partner to "slap

that ass!", which he's, no doubt, eager

to do, greeting him like a shiny, spinning globe. The darkened soles of her feet dangle and

keep her

propped up, onto missionary and a bit of self-love, pausing for another wick

taste. Soon Ryan's on her stomach, wiggling that rump, and

her boy brings out the baby

oil, coating her tanned body with its runny, transparent goodness. This all leads to a furious amount of doggy-style fucking, along with a bit of ass fingering, shifting to Ryan

lying flat yet again, legs together, and her partner thundering down from

above. The ass

worship continues, grins all across the board (Ryan still giggling infectiuosly), concluding

with a cock pop of drizzle across

her beateous ass, shaking as well as Ms. Hunter could.

For all the insane amount of teasing, Ryan only allows the fucking to commence

via her

pussy, leaving her ass to dance with only a finger or two to tease, proudly flaunting her

weighty gifts (and rightly so). As the sweat

seems to puddle up midway (gloriously so, a la

Ms. Tucci), there is a towling off between pre & post oil play (slightly annoying), but

thankfully, Ryan is ripe enough to keep that sheen, baby oil or not, drenched across her

body. Her eagerness is a bit played out from time

to time, but methinks it's more Ivan and

his roving/intruding camera than Ryan herself. Nevertheless, it's a pretty dazzling display,

even if

her performance may need a bit of skill before it's truly, uh, polished (like everything

else in the room). Super!

[Scene Six]

Robyn Truelove (with Tony T.)

From across the pond arrives Robyn, surveying her tattoos with Ivan before being draped

with a blindfold. In a slow stroke she

takes on Tony, switching to a kneel as she ups her

ante. He's less forgiving, gripping her head and fucking her face, Robyn pulling

away for

air from time to time. Blindfold up & off, the two continue their push & pull (gentle to hard),

beginning the bumping

in doggy atop the couch in jabs, yelps, and the occassional taste

(and more face fucking).

Tony wraps his hands around her throat

as
he ups his pumping speed, slowing in

missionary, and again raising the
stakes in doggy. All of this seems to be too much for

Tony to handle, and he undoes a load onto Robyn's tongue: quoth Ivan: "we're not done

yet!". A fade later, cowgirl allows Robyn to

carry
her cherry bomb on her terms, switching

to missionary/piledriver, a
ball-teasing break, and finally spooning. Tony lifts Robyn's

ankles and raises her feet in a fold with his
dick, pulsing out another dose of hot whiteness

onto her face.
Carrying it between her thumbs, Robyn chases Ivan out of the room, "come

taste
it!" - finally! As if that ending weren't sweet enough, enduring
Tony's particularities

almost destroyed the scene (harder mannerisms are
fine, but Robyn seemed to be less

interested in his domineering than he
did). Despite this, seeing Tony pop early (and

subsequently
twice) felt more natural than the hours-passing fucking gonzo is
accustomed

to, but still a little disappointing despite. And though Robyn
isn't exactly my cup of tea, her

willingness to spar with Tony's
machinations was noteworthy, and it all kind of evened out

(surprise!).

[Scene Seven] Alice Bell
(with Carlo Carrera)

Alice, though she may seem normal, comes off in her interview as
slightly loopy, joking

(maybe?) with Ivan, which either was honesty or nervousness: we may never ever know. That said,
Alice, blindfolded, makes out with her stunt stud's penis, undoing her
top as he

squeezes her tits and points her in the right
direction. Blinds parted, she kisses, jerks and

knocks the prick
against her chin, waddling her ass as her partner parlays a finger or two,

wiggling faster as Alice vocally accepts.

Now in doggy, Alice's partner pushes her head into

the cushions, deepening his pumps and

breaking for another blown taste. In a half spoon, Alice continues her madness, huffing

and

puffing and gripping that schlong with two hands, shifting to cowgirl briefly, leading to

a swift set of jerks into her mouth, almost

missing as her partner shoots half across her

crotch. Alice, sport she is, downs what little remains, and drifts away into crazyland,

population

her. What comes across as manic and unruly in Alice is what's so appealing

about her, even if her cover-shot and pre-interview show

off her furry bit of growth

between her legs like a tease (most of the action neglects to showcase this fact, especially

for a newcomer, &

annoyingly so). It would be remiss of me to say that her partner, for all

his rougher qualities, didn't agree with his early/near miss joint

shooting, but I could

always be wrong. Anyhow, for all the weirdness that Alice offers up in the vocal and behavioral departments, her work

here is a bit of an impasse: I am equally dumbfounded

as I am pleased. Thank you?

Bonus Features

A Behind the Scenes (9min) relies heavily on Alice's interplay with Ivan (being...herself?), with a bit from Robyn (doing stretches/scene prep) and the usual odds & sods/pre & post scene hijinks. Nothing too meaningful, but it is what it is. Elsewhere a Cum Shot Recap (14min), a Photo/Stills Gallery (5min), and the requisite web info all wrap up the section, tidy & neat.

Audio/Visual Quality

Presented in 1.78.1, 16x9 enhanced format, the picture occassionally suffers a bit of flicker in the more brightly lit scenes (a la Ryan's, during which the shutter is sometimes outsmarted by the lights and begins to strobe at times, what with all that shinyness happening in that scene), keeping a higher end of the spectrum during the bulk of the scenes. Talia's section of the disc is the most unlike of the lot, shot in a different location and feeling less shimmery, somewhat murky in contrast to, say, Alice's scene. The change in tone marrs the enjoyment of the scene only slightly, but still does nonetheless. Audio was presented in clean 2.0 stereo, with the sound localized at the center of the camera's eye (kind of a problem with Ivan's/Team Anabolic's swooping captures, but it's all right there). The action features a choice of background music (either On or Off), a highly desireable option in these lean times. Overall quite a nice presentation, but with the kind of hang-ups that account for most new adopters of higher-end gear/hi-def switchover.

Final Thoughts

With an array of talent at the helm, Initiations 24 promises only what that kind of title can deliver: mixed results presented by porn pros. While I can't say that I'll ever love director Ivan's approach whole hog, he can sometimes strike gold once in a while (Daphne and Ryan's scenes, respectively) as well as entertain the more challenged set (Alice, don't forget). However, his particular intrusions do lead to weakened, look-at-me performances, so maybe I never will warm up to exactly what he's trying to achieve. As sparkly and fresh as everyone is here, there's always room for growth, even if it can be a little confusing, a little confounding, or a little too clear at times. Rent it!
