Hey folks! A couple more remastered volumes from SlapstickStuff while I have downtime! SS94 features the only solo appearance from the lovely Cassandra, a Southern beauty who seemed genuinely amused to get messy throughout, and really took that slime like a champ. Also, pretty great wardrobe! (No surprise that she went on to run a successful boutique AND do her own fashion photography....)
Of course, Cassandra is better remembered for her epic two-girl shoot with Ginger... And yes, THIS is how Ginger came into the SS fold, where she'd stay for the next 7 years (!!), doing both solo scenes and team-ups with other SS superstars (Breana and Jennifer!). It helped that she never aged! (Pretty sure she was already in her mid-30's when we shot SS102.)
Looking back on Ginger's future SS work, it's crazy to think that she was *very* hesitant to do any messy stuff at first. (She was already a professional model back when that meant something, doing regular catalog and fashion work, so she was a big "get" for me.) Cassandra basically had to convince her to do the shoot, and you can already see that streak of sarcastic reluctance in all 3 of these scenes. Did Ginger secretly like getting messy and simply kept up that "persona" of the reluctant diva because it was funnier? Well, she DID keep shooting for 7 more years.....
SS102 is one of those great 2-girl volumes where the scenes get better as they go along, with Ginger getting more comfortable with the mess and more playfully antagonistic with the producer too. (This would be our future dynamic as well.) She also really loosens Cassandra up, who quickly delights in messing up her friend but also takes her own mess in style. (I love Ginger's tendency to "pull her in" for the sliming, and she even tilts Cassandra's head up at one point to "catch" the slime better.)
The nurse scene, of course, remains iconic.... Perfectly organized chaos with two hotties in two racy (for the time) outfits caught in a one-way pie fight and making the best of it. Ginger's "oh my goodness!" when Cassandra gets nailed? Solid gold. [Fun fact: This is where the infamous "nurse outfit" came from. And yes, Ginger modeled this exact outfit for a lingerie company, which is where I got the idea. I simply ordered an identical one for Cassandra to match what Ginger already had. And is it a little crazy that Ginger was *very* worried about showing her near-naked backside on camera, despite already showing it in national print ads?? Possibly!]
All 8 Cassandra scenes now remastered to full MP4 quality in the Vidown and UMD stores! [No weird AI upscaling, just the original 480p clips in better quality and bitrate. All the slight flaws from the original lighting and coloring are still intact, for better or worse!] If you've never seen her collab with Ginger before, you're in for a treat!
There's something about women's hairstyles that were popular in the late 2000s/early 2010s that Ginger and Cassandra both have in these volumes that I really miss
Love seeing these old volumes getting highlighted again!
