Nate’s Place

I hadn’t really been paying too much attention to the release date of the Shauna Sands DVD by Vivid with a fine tooth comb.  I figured since it was already delayed once and I hadn’t seen a lot of news about it the last week, that most likely it had been delayed again.

To my surprise, I went to the home website and surmised it had indeed been released and a small rush of adrenaline rushed through my veins.  Since I had already made two prior posts about her ’secret’ sex tape and how I was looking froward to it, I seriously contemplated dropping the $34.95 on the DVD.  I mean from the trailer and the picture stills, it looked very promising.

But before I did that, I decided to check a website/forum I visit here and there to see if there was any scuttlebutt about it, and maybe that rare chance that someone ripped a copy to a share site.  Generally, new movies like this are indeed ripped, but then very quickly taken down due to copyright infringement, star name, etc., etc.  I’m sure Vivid is banking on a lot of hype for this movie and wouldn’t be too happy to learn free copies are floating around in cyberspace the very first few days.

To my utter schock, upon a simple search, I found it very quickly.  The WHOLE MOVIE….FOR FREE.  What?  Somebody must have just posted it hours before, because there was only a few replies.  But I jumped on it quickly and was able to obtain a copy within minutes.

And after watching it, I’m glad I didn’t drop the aforementioned $40.  I’m not going to say it was a bad movie, I mean, it was a supposed ‘leaked’ private movie…not intended for general scrutiny…but somewhat fails to deliver all my Shauna Sands fantasies.

There is no doubt she has one incredible body.  Her legs, waist, and buttocks are to akin to being as perfect as any man could dream for.  She is incredibly fit, tone, and has a very flat tummy for having three children.  Her hair is blonde out of a bottle for sure, her lips a little Botox or Collogen enhanced, and she has quite lovely eyes.  Her boobs are a tad weird…not in a ‘bad’ way…but despite being augmented in the typical Melrose tradition, she has some notable scarring around the areola’s as if they had been reduced in diameter.  Otherwise, she has Barbie-esque like figure and her tan lines automatically boost her apeal for me.

The french boyfriend is in ‘Adonis’ like shape and in between sucking down drink and chain smoking like there is no tomorrow, I’ll admit, I’m a tad bit jealous how chisled this guy is.  He blows most male porn stars outta the water with his physique.  He’s a guy after my own heart as he seems to really be into his sexcapades, although his camera work and constant mumbling in french gets a bit annoying.  A good portion of his dialogue is actually sub-titled and Shauna speaks in both English and French.

The video is slightly longer than 1 hour and by all accounts I would break it up into three main scenes.  Two traditional sex scenes and 1 oral scene in which Saundra gives one heck of a fantasy blow job.  But between all this is some fluff…mostly casual converstaions between the two in a bedroom or on a balcony.  Most of these conversations are completly mundane where Saundra does 80% of the talking and her boyfriend and his shakey camera follows her around.  And in most of this filler stuff, Saundra is topless or wearing this little wrap number around her waist in which she is not wearing any panties and you get some nice shots of her shaven womanhood.  She’s clearly comfortable in the nude behind closed doors and plays up to the camera in some of these instances.  I have a feeling she can ber very naught when she’s in the mood.

And it helps a lot during these drawn out sequences that she’s very easy on the eyes.  It’s more like a tantalizing tease to the viewer than anything intentional on her end.  It’s very natural and not scripted which lends to a certain girl-next-door mystique as well.

Now, onto the ‘good stuff’….Well, I’m kinda torn on how erotic the sex scenes actually play out.  The two main scenes in which Shauna and her boyfriend have sex are nothing out of the ordinary and because he’s holding the camera most of the time, there are a lot of closeups of either her chest or her vag.  Sadly there are no money shots either, and its very hard to tell if and when either of them climax, until he aks her once “Did you?” and she simply responds, “Yes.”   In the first scene she starts off by wearing some crocthless panties and when they stop all she says is “You soaked my panties.”, but as the viewer you can’t tell this at all and just have to take her word for it.

There’s no transitions between positions either in the first scene, just smash cuts.  One second he’s taking her from behind, next she’s in missionary, then she’s straddling him and the camera is now positioned behind them.  She’s also relatively quiet with a few moans and gasps here and there, and I guess I expected her to me much more vocal, but somehow I was let down.  Not sure what I expected from her, but she seemed to be holding back in the auditory department.  They finish this up with him using a jelly dong on her for her second climax

The second major scene involved the camera being set up on a table and capturing them both from a slightly further distance where he pounding her missionary style on a couch.  Okay, it’s amazing to see two perfect bodies like this, but again, I was somewhat distracted by Shauna….she kept stealing looks towards the camera with this ‘deer-in-headlights’ like stare…more like someone wanting to make sure they were in frame rather than enjoying themselves or being seductive and/or erotic.  I’ve seen other ‘home’ movies where the girl is seducing the camera with her eyes and facial expressions and really seem to be getting into it for the viewer, where Shauna just kinda stares at it and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was on something ’cause it just looked a bit ‘off’.  Sadly, no money shot here either….I felt robbed again.

The last scene was probably the most erotic buildup of the tape.  Here Shauna is eating ice-cream and letting it drip from the spoon as she hold it to her mouth and lets it melt down her naked body as she stands in high heels at the foot of their bed.  This was quite a turn on for me and I’ll have to request that in my personal life.  She then offers to give her boyfriend a blowjob in which she purs some melted ice cream from her pint container onto his junk and proceeds to lick it off.  There is no sex here at all, just a very messy blowjob, and the only let down here was Shauna making the comment that she didn’t want anything getting in her hair.  At the end of the BJ, we finally see a pop-shot to her face, but again, she just seems oddly disinterested.  She just opens her mouth with no real expression or afterglow indulgence afterwards as he finishes himself off.

Then fade out to black and shows over.

I may have to watch it again (I’m sure I will), but it’s very hard to critique.  Clearly Vivid took the best few ‘tantalzing’ seconds to cut a perfect trailer, but it just doesn’t seem to deliver what the trailer hyped up.  Shauna is drop dead gorgeous, he’s a chisled Adonis, pictures are clear and seemingly high quality, and she’s basically nude the whole 60+ minutes.  The blowjob was great as was the lead up, but the finish with the only money shot just falls flat at the end.  The other two scenes show off her body in great close-up fashion, but again, Shauna just doesn’t seems into it and with no pop shots or vocal climaxes it just feels like the scenes end prematurely with little payoff. 

If I had to buy it, I may say it’s worth $15, maybe $20 tops, but not worth the full price Vivid is asking, so I’m very glad I found it for free.
