HARD CHOICE AWARDS 2009

 

.....One final comment. My fellow critic Vincent Lambert said, in Mark Adams' year-in-review column, that twins dominated the scene in 2009, and he gave persuasive reasons. I would say that sexual imagination dominated the scene in 2009: the phantasmagoria of Chi Chi LaRue's Lowest Level or basest dreams; the fetish-populated Trap of Andrew Rosen; Michael Lucas's sea platform surrounded by billowing gauze; Csaba Borbely's sex yacht; the freshness and variety of Brian Mills' BDSM scenarios for Titan's Folsom series; Kristen Bjorn's ability to choreograph models like an architect designing a structure; and the huge surprise of Strongboli's cynical but enormously erotic takes on fucking. There are surely more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in any one person's sexual philosophy, which brings us full circle.
