Vivid’s Brand New Faces 23 – a brand new experience for me!

B. Skow’s Brand New Faces is a fresh peak into the adult industry, giving the viewer a glimpse of what it might be like to be an innocent girl on her very first set. #23 is both good and bad. Some of these girls could have a long career in porn, or at least have some fun and make some money. Some of these girls are… well, they just need to find something new to do with their time because the adult industry isn’t for them.

Presented by Vivid and directed by B. Skow, Brand New Faces #23 features Capri Cavalli, Charisma, Aryan Aslyn, Brooke Bennett, and Rosie Thorn, who have all signed and certified the fact that this is their very first time having sex on camera.

Brooke Bennett is a pretty girl with long hair and freckles, and though she’s never done anything in the sex industry she thinks she wants to be a porn star. She signs her contract, though it seems a bit weak that her only reasoning for wanting to be in an adult film is she just “likes sex.” Brooke has a nice ass, but if she was just open up a bit more she’d have great chemistry.

After playing with herself for a bit, Alex Gonz comes in and starts slurping at her ass. She’s pretty quiet and closes her eyes a lot, but once she’s sucking his cock she opens up a bit. Once they’re fucking she lets him put a finger in her ass, and she does a good job of showing her naughty bits to the camera. Alex puts on a good performance, doing most of the work in the scene, until he starts doing her doggy style and she finally shows some energy. Not bad for a first time, Brooke!

Rosie Thorn is a cute girl who is way too nervous. She says she’s only ever been with one other guy, hasn’t ever watched porn, has never been eaten out, never given a blow job, and basically just has missionary sex in the dark with her clothes on. I think Rosie’s story is kind of sad – she came to Los Angeles for what she thought was regular modeling but when she was presented with being in an adult film, she thought, “why not?”

Poor Jerry gets his giant dong laughed at when Rosie sees it, but he’s kind of a goofy looking guy anyway. She tries to get away with just a hand-job but Jerry and Skow are persistent. Jerry goes down on Rosie, but not nearly long enough because they have to use lube to get her wet enough for penetration. She tries to eye the camera but she’s usually too distracted with her grimaces and moans of pain. This scene finally ends when she asks “is that enough?” Talk about a boner killer! She doesn’t want to clean off Jerry’s cock and gags when she tastes his cum.

This scene was so not sexy, it’s like a giant bruise on what could be a great time. Skow should have just paid Rosie and never used the scene in this collection, and written it off as a good attempt. You win some and lose some, and this scene is very much a loser.

Stripper Aryan Astyn seems a bit nervous, but her confidence builds as she chats with B. Skow, talking about her experiences. She has nice curves and big, perky boobs. Most of all, she likes sex and has a great presence behind the camera. Nick Manning comes and goes right for her boobs, but I was too distracted by his ugly man hair. Ew.

But, hippie-hair-Nick finger fucks Aryan until she comes, which is actually pretty hot. He’s mean to her, though, and is manners are pretty degrading and insulting. I understand dirty and mean talk is big in some films, but I personally tend to not enjoy it too much. They 69 and fuck, and Skow has to keep on reminding her to look at the camera. You know Aryan is enjoying herself because she gets super sweaty. I really didn’t think I’d like this scene, but Aryan Astyn is someone I wouldn’t mind seeing again. (Though I don’t care much for dirty jerk Nick Manning.)

Capri Cavalli is a cute Canadian looking down-home in boots and a skirt. She has a super hot, petite body and nice boobs, and confidence to back it up. Capri is a woman who knows exactly what she wants, and I love that. She’s not overly nervous, but also not very outgoing. For the feature girl, she could use some more energy. Muscle man Marco Banderas comes in and fingers her shortly, and when she gives his blow job she is good about eying the camera. I must say, Marco has such a big cock for such a tiny girl, but Capri Cavalli can handle his meat, moving her hips and getting nice and juicy. The best part of this scene is when she gets dripping wet while he’s fucking her from behind. Very nice!

Charisma looks great in the perfect blouse that hugs her boobs wonderfully, and I’m honestly sad when she takes it off because it only reveals how disappointingly fake her chest is. She’s pretty, though, and a little nervous about her scene, to the point that her giggles get a little annoying. This trashy girl spreads her labia, showing off her piercings as she uses a vibrator on herself. Tony De Sergio is the perfect gentleman as he meets her though, and it made me smile to see Tony and Charisma shake hands before they fucked. There is some short-lived pussy licking, and then Charisma sucks Tony’s thick dick, giving a good blowjob. This girl has a crazy intense sex face, and Tony finishes up by coming on her tongue, where she likes it.

All of the girls in Brand New Faces #23 are at least cute, though some have more fun than others. (And I’d rather see a girl having fun in porn any day than the hottest girl having a bad time.) I usually hate when the director/camera guy talks too much, and while B. Skow is active, he only annoyed me a few times. For the most part his banter is actually funny, friendly, and not over-the-top sexist and retarded. Once the actual action is taking place, he keeps his banter to a minimum – he directs.

What I liked about this title was that I hadn’t ever really thought about the making of an adult film before. I hadn’t considered the role of the dude (sometimes dame) behind the camera, and most of all, I hadn’t thought about how a director might help the scene. Skow told the girls where to look, what goodies to show, how to act, what positions to try, and much more. It was also plainly obvious which girls had seen porn before and which ones knew their way around the presentation of sex.

B. Skow’s Brand New Faces #23 was fun, but not amazing. Capri Cavalli, Charisma, Aryan Aslyn, and Brooke Bennett all might have a chance to get behind the camera again, but poor Rosie Thorn just needs to go back to Texas and find some women’s sexual liberation. Presented from Vivid, this was a very interesting and a fun new perspective for me!
