Bikini Executions

Bikini Executions
by Velvets Fantasies




The Girls & Attire:
My viewpoint & disclaimer: generally, I prefer sporty clothes (eg, tops, tight shorts, etc.) to everyday clothes or business wear; I also appreciate uniform-like attire, which can be as elaborate as sci-fi or army uniforms, to something as simples as black-bikini vs white bikini.





This clip features two very pretty girls: actress/producer Jaqueline Velvets, and Ivy Sloan, in the bikinis from which the clip's title derives. 











Jaqueline sports a very flattering beige colored bikini. She produced and starred in another of my favorite videos, and its no surprise if that she really delivered a fun performance, delivering snappy one-liners when winning, and appropriately writhing and gasping when losing.











Ivy is dressed in a nice white bikini. I had never seen her in this type of video, and she was pretty good at some points, but other times she really annoyed me, as I'll explain below.












The Numbers:
Features 10 scenes. The clip is aprox.12 minutes, 358MB, with resolution 720x1280. It costs $12.00

The Action (contains spoilers):
My viewpoint & disclaimer: to keep the description from being repetitive, I’ll define beforehand the most common type of acting you find in these genre videos:
Going through the motions – almost no speech or acting, the girls just lie down when they’re shot, usually swaying or writhing for a bit; this can be by design, not necessarily poor acting. I guess it can be preferred by those who tend to find these videos immature.
Over-the-top, in-character– MY FAVORITE: the girls really act out their parts, pretending to dodge, shoot back, with lines like “I’ll get you yet!”, “You’re mine!” or “Argh! U got me!”
Goofy – the girls have a more child’s-play stance, they laugh or giggle, with speech along the lines of “I shot you, cheater!”, “No, you missed!”,etc.

There is a short sequence in the beginning where the girls are talking and decide to play some cops and robbers. After that we get good, in-character action, with the girls taking turns at getting shot and falling down, clutching their "wounds", moaning and squirming.

I think Jaqueline steals the show. She is very expressive, smilling mischievously when she gets the drop on Ivy (or she thinks she will), acts being shot very well, and I can't mention the writhing and moaning enough times. 


A couple of times she begs Ivy to "finish her off", and in the last scene she actually takes matters in her own hands! After being shot, she manages to turn Ivy's gun on her and wins their contest, but it hurts too much, so she...




Ivy had ups and downs. She is very attractive, of course,with an angelical face, which is always nice. At some points she does seem to have fun portraying her character, but other times she doesn't seem as comfortable on screen as her co-star.









In two scenes Ivy really bugged me. First, she gets shot from the front, yet grabs her back. A second time, she gets shot from behind, yet grabs her belly! I mean, you're not supposed to take these videos seriously, but this kind of breaks the mood.





However, she does "playing dead" beautifully, which saved her performance!





Scene highlights:
Ivy gets surprised and disarmed!

Feeling lucky,punk?

Jaqueline's turn to be surprised...
No escape...

Got you now!...
Look behind you!
And the best scene (apart from Velvets' hara-kiri): while struggling for the gun, both girls get shot and fall to the floor. Determined not to let her foe escape, Ivy drags herself on top of Velvets, and warns something like "I'm taking you with me". Jaqueline whimpers "No!", but to no avail!


This clips gets bonus points for a couple of bodypiles!




The Production:
My viewpoint & disclaimer: I’m no expert on digital video, all I can do is tell apart poor picture quality  - grainy or low res –from  normal (as in, not poor ––nor high quality) and HD.


 Good video quality,  720X1280 resolution. The action is well shot, with nice touches: moving to over-the-shoulder viewpoint of the shooter, panning the body of a fallen babe, etc.


The prop guns are really nice. Apparently the are gas-propelled , so they actually have recoil, and are realistic-looking. They don't add sound effects, but the recoil adequately marks the shots, so it is ok.

How do you like the new guns, Ivy?
 There is also another gun with an added light for a more dangerous look, but it is not fired. Makes the holder seem more dangerous, which is ironic since it ends up on the loosing side.

Velvet looking bad-ass


The Verdict:
Nice offering from Velvets Fantasies, with some very good scenes.  The short length,and the fact that the quality is uneven (a few scenes don't work for me), keep it from greatness, but overall I'd say worth the money.
