Spellbinder, O-girl and videos

Much of "non-mainstream" damsel in distress doesn't do much for me. Specially made superheroine DiD (a sort of eccentricity within an eccentricity) in particular is rarely to my tastes. Usually it's just girls beating each other up (um....not really hot for me) or having their cleavage exposed (um, too much silicon, usually) and very seldom about perils.

There are exceptions, of course - O-girl, over at B)ndage-Cafe, and Super-becca -- the latter all within a PG rating. But by an large any general purveyor of BDSM video usually finds a way to contaminate the aesthetics of overall BDSM into DiD -- and while that doesn't repel me, if there's too much of it it gets in the way.

One of the rare exceptions is/was Spellbinder -- as portrayed in the 90s/early 00s by first Darla Crane and then Kelsie Chambers. I am very grateful to Sasha over at Danger Theatre to have referenced two Darla Crane vids -- they were sort of a Holy Grail for me. Darla really gets into it -- and the cips have a nice sense of humor about them while taking the story seriously.

If the O-girl series is better, it's mostly because it's clearer -- none of that dying 90s video tape. Jim Weathers did an awesome buzzsaw scene -- and got Diana Knight (?) to play the villainess - and she did an amazing job. It just goes to show you -- a DiD video is immeasurably improved with a top-notch villain(ess). Let's face it -- a girl -- let alone a Supergirl - is not going to be too intimidated by a nasally guy named Larry as a villain. As Thurston Howell said to Gilligan when they were doing a movie of Mary-Ann tied at the stake, "Menace her, boy, menace her!"
