Twisted Passions 18

The Lamoyne Hotel in Thornhill is notorious for its resident lesbian prostitutes but the 18th volume in this Girlfriends series makes the ladies out to be ambiguous "helpers" to women in need of sorting out their sexual inclinations.

Veruca James and Lena Nicole appear as front desk clerks at the hotel, and they're also prostitutes. But since money is not mentioned they seem at times to be more like advisers, as ladies show up at the Lamoyne, clearly seeking Sapphic sex.

For one couple, step-cousins (faux incest at its most faux) Taylor May and Shyla Ryder, Lena merely instructs them how to get down to business in bed together, but prostitution is at work in the other vignettes.

Dani Daniels is miscast as a shy, reluctant recruit to the lesbian ranks, given her iconic status in Lesbian Cinema, but her scene with the inevitably cast Prinzzess is well-performed.

Lena does her thing with Sandy Fantasy, a scene where the actresses could easily have traded roles to better effect, as the glamorous Sandy would be more convincing as the prostitute rather than the lady with repressed lesbian tendencies.

Best vignette is due to casting newly-minted superstar Lana Rhoades, a bit lame in her recitation of story exposition to set up the scene but forcefully sexy (if out of character) in the sack with prostitute Veruca James.
