A bit of an underrated two-girl volume here, pairing SS82's Paula and her friend Ashton in a height discrepancy for the ages! Of the three scenes, this one is notable for being a full-blown slime-extravaganza of the kind we don't do that much. (Five slimes including a double at the end!) Plus chocolate face dunking, a few pies, and lots of incorrect usage of the word "dichotomy." Available to buy or stream now!
Paula and Ashton help us explain "dichotomy....".. badly. [Funny well-scripted scene with multiple slimes for each girl plus chocolate head dunking and pies! Five slimes in all! Outtakes include "slime skating" and other ridiculousness... ]
I've done SO many of them, and it got harder to keep coming up with new twists, but most importantly the newer "slime first" scenes rarely sell that well.
Also, for whatever reason, a LOT more models complain about slime now. Same with shaving cream.... 10 years ago I had models taking 20+ SC pies in one scene without a word, now when they get like 2-3 they instantly start complaining about the burning.
Me, too. That's so weird, I'd have thought it would've been less hated than pies considering how passive the act is from the model's perspective. Less force, water cleanup, etc.
This really is a great scene.
And as for slime-first, that recent Lucy scene is my favorite of yours in recent memory. She is a damn hammer and takes those three slimings perfectly.
I still like slime too, but it's not the primary focus for a lot of scenes. And you know, some models like it a lot.... I will agree that Lucy takes slime like a CHAMP. Completely covered, no wiping, no complaints. (Also this one has been one of my best slime-first sellers of the last few years! That's good!)
I do have some slime-first scenes in the pipeline tho.... A great one from Samantha (has there been a secretary slime yet?) and from Taylor. In the latter case, she told me after she preferred to get the slime at the end of the scene, rather than the beginning.... which tends to be how I use the slime in most skits now.

Trust me, if you're trying to frame the shot, anything more than a 3-inch variance is a major height discrepancy. With some of the combos you showed, I'm not even sure I could DO a closeup of both women. It would basically be a slightly better medium shot!
Rich, you mentioned the word 'Vintage' and that often translates to 'blurry', but there is a cool piece of software out now that actually can sharpen images. I've taken the liberty of using your first image in this thread to show a before and after. They sell a version for video as well as for images. Any producer releasing their older work would benefit from this, as they could sharpen it up and reduce some of the blurring. Just a thought.

Rich, are you using just regular shaving cream or the kind with aloe?

I'm not sure if it's worth it to go back and redo something like 500+ scenes though, especially since most scenes (like this one) have been on Vidown for over a decade now. They do get converted over to MP4 to make them easier to stream though.... and when you watch them the quality is actually fine. But anytime you take a 480p screen grab and blow it up to HD size it's gonna look blurry (like the main pic). I would prefer not to have it blown up to that size, but that's the default for promoting the scene.

Same old Barbasol in the red/white/blue can with nothing added, just like I have for the last 15 (!!!) years. My suspicion is that the formula has changed, and not for the better (for eyes). Makes sense, as Cool Whip is vastly different now than it was back then (for the better in this case).
