Hey all! The remastering of old SD clips rolls on.... and while I couldn't remaster ALL of Toshia's many (MANY) scenes at once, I did manage to recently upload new & improved versions of all her clips from SS37, SS41, and SS47-48. This also includes some unedited RAW footage previously unavailable as downloads... including ALL of SS41, because I was a dingbat back in the day and never put this stuff in the RAW Store. But it's there now! And in the UMD Store! And all the clips are streaming too!
Toshia shot more scenes than anyone else in SS history, and she was pretty amazing for ALL of it. But this particular run really stands out. Between the summer of 2006 and the spring of 2007, we shot 18 scenes over 5 different sessions (not counting the SAW shoot, which was its own insane thing I'll have to discuss separately!). It's almost like I was booking Toshia like I was afraid she might just call it quits at any time.... which was rooted in a *little* bit of reality.....
Not everyone knows this, but Toshia was SO close to being one of the more frustrating one-and-dones. That big gap between SS27 and SS37? Not my idea. Within a week of shooting SS27, I'd already locked down our next shoot... which Toshia cancelled the morning of. Or rather, her boyfriend did. Very apologetic, basically saying she just "didn't feel comfortable doing this kind of shoot again." He acted like he was on MY side tho. His vibe was very much, "Women... Whatcha gonna do?!?" Well, if they're smart.... They dump your controlling ass. Because I stayed in touch with Toshia over the next year (not hard to do when she worked the door next to the bar I played at weekly), and one random night, she just went, "Hey, so if you wanna shoot again, I'm available." WHAAAAA......
After confirming that her hiatus was entirely due to her BF's issues, not hers, Toshia proceeded to show up for the SS37 shoot, looking hotter than ever. (See the previously unseen clip below.) And she became.... Well, definitely my "most popular" and "most booked" model. Not sure "most reliable" is accurate. Because... Toshia could be INFURIATING. Fairly sure that the SS37 shoot got rescheduled once (twice?) because she just didn't show up. I vaguely remember going to her house and waking her up, still hungover, around 2 in the afternoon? I believe that was when she promised to show up the next day.... And she was as good as her word, at least THAT time. She also set up a 2-girl shoot with her hot friend during this run, and then the friend bailed, and T bailed too, and.... Yeah, our journey was up and down. (SS39 Kit wound up taking all of T's 2-days-old, very smelly slime... But that's another story...)
But I put up with her antics because, well... Wouldn't you? Cuz when she was on, she was ON. There was no hotter girl willing to take 20 pies in one scene, or get slimed 5 times in a tube top (AGAIN?!?), or dance around in ridiculous tiny white shorts or a "Sexy Tux" (which is the look Toshia owns, forever and ever) while some idiot flings pies at her for 10 minutes. She would complain that I threw the pies too hard... She would laugh as I sprayed her in the face WAY too many times during hosedowns... She would drive me nuts then deliver amazing content, over and over and over.
Somewhere around the time I convinced her to spend 2 hours getting pied in the back room of a record store on a Sunday night (again, that SAW story is coming).... We turned a corner. And while she still drove me a little crazy, she also started trusting me more... and that's when we started experimenting with some really offbeat, different, (occasionally) successful scenes.... But that's Part 2!
All the pics below (and a few random GIFs I forgot about!) are from SS37 and SS41, available to buy or stream in the Vidown and UMD Stores now!
Sleazoid44 said: SS41/3 is still my favorite pie vid, period, but all 3 of the scenes in Volume 41 were outstanding.
Agreed.... SS41 might be my favorite Toshia volume too. And mine even has 4 scenes, not 3!!
[There really are 4 scenes on that one... plus the extra bits I shot as "Intros." If you count that as a scene it's still one of my all-time faves. The "jiggle factor" is off the charts!]
There's just no one better! Incredible. My favorite of hers is SS66 but it's like choosing a favorite child.
@Rich, what's the previously unseen clip? The YouTube clip? I seem to remember that being on your site ages ago back when you hosted all of the trailers there...I only remember because I still don't quite hear what you're talking about before "pied in the face." (I can't even fully hear what Toshia says, actually...I'm about to get pied? I want to get pied? Paul is dead?)

SS61 right? I know, my memory is going too.....
Yeah, it's "previously unseen" for downloads but I tagged it onto the end of the SS37 DVD, so people DID see it. Sometimes I would shoot long "interviews" before the mess started. That was prob the plan. Instead, I'm rambling about how it's taken us 3 tries to make this shoot happen... and she's just nodding.... and finally I asked if she wanted to add something, and she just goes: "I'm about to get pied in the face."
So.... That was our "interview." And also the reason why I didn't bother shooting other BTS stuff with her. She was always, "I'm here, let's go!"

Ahhhh, that explains that. I was sure I'd seen it somewhere!
And yes, SS61 is the right volume! Memory is the first thing to go man. 66 sticks out as the first appearance of Lindsay, though! And 63-64 is Crystal, prob my favorite of your SD one and dones, so with that embarrassment of riches (no pun intended) in the SS60s it's hard to keep track
