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!

Somehow, some way, I inexplicably missed this volume in my Slapstickstuff patronage over the years. Excited to dig into the remaster when I get the chance! (Although, idk, the zeitgeist would have you believe that you will spontaneous become dust/a dinosaur/a card catalog if you didn't use AI three times before the previous yesterday, or whatever....)

The nurse scene is an all timer, incredible work done from everyone. Fantastic stuff like.

Love how manic the scenes feel (in a very positive, lets say uh Deleuzian way) and that slightly chaotic vibe. Takes some direction to keep on pace!

Putting this through Elon Musk's AI and the girls inexplicably start talking about farm killings in South Africa

Yeah, not a fan of billionaires turning their AI into a tool for Nazi propaganda and revenge porn either, but that's the current state of affairs, isn't it??

My initial AI comment stemmed more from noticing that other producers have been upgrading their old clips to 1080p or 4K, but the issue is that the tech isn't quite there yet. Or you have to be judicious with it. Even just a split second of a normal human face turned into an AI monstrosity takes me right out of it, ya know?

So that's why I've chosen to leave the old clips as-is. Simple 480p but with better bitrate and a cleaner encode. And for the same prices as before. I'm sure that down the line, I will wind up AI upscaling everything (once the tech gets there) and getting folks to buy* it all again, because that's Capitalism 101, but for now.... VLC Player set at "Full Screen Mode" looks about as good for these old clips as any extra upscaling.


* As always, if you bought a bunch of clips from me over the years, you can reach out to Soundguy and he can reauthorize ALL your clips at once for free, one-time-only. And then you can download all the remasters for free. You can also email me directly and I can do the same, but ideally not more than 10 or so, cuz that's some work!

I can confirm that Rich kindly let me download all the remasters through the years without asking anything in return. We figured out that it was MUCH easier for him that I sent my order numbers. In this way, he just had to reactivate the links instead of going through all my purchases to find the ones to reactivate. I was kind of the creepy guy that was sending him emails just right after his remasters got released.

No more to say that Rich is one of the kindest producers out here.

By the way, I love these remastered clips still in 480p that don't even take more space than their previous versions in the hard drive.

One of my favorite Slapstick Stuff moments occurs in 102/2 when Ginger prematurely pies Cassandra. The reactions from Ginger, Cassandra and Rich himself are priceless. And its a real unexpected pieing.

Haha, I forgot about that but yeah.... Pretty great and *very* Ginger. She was always a bit of a chaos agent!

That kind of thing still happens occasionally.... in the recent 305 in fact, when I handed Meredith a cake to hold (which was supposed to wind up in her face) and she just eagerly accepted it and SLAMMED it into Alura's face without a second thought.

Thanks for the kind words! I do my best.
Life is too short not to be decent to your loyal customers.... They're literally the only reason I'm still doing this!

Hey Rich,

I've been around while and don't make that many comments, but I wanted to comment now:

I enjoy your vids and own a great deal of them. They are some of my most favorite scenes.

I really, really love when you let everyone know about a remaster and tell us a little background to the scenes.

It makes the scenes in question that much more special. Some I might have missed and then I go looking to buy them (hey, that's sneaky ).

Anyway, thanks for the history!

Gorgeous girls, love the nurse singlets and lingerie pics. These girls definitely didn't hold back when delivering the pies to each other.

I'm huge fan of both these remasters AND the bonus "commentary"/ background info that comes with these posts.

It's always makes things better, too when you hear everyone had fun
