The story revolves around Kelly Collins who plays an aspiring model who leaves the states for Paris. Here she hopes to break into the modeling world on the runway. She knows it will be a tough road, but she is determined to see it through and make a name for herself. What takes place in Kelly’s search for fame and recognition is the gist of this story and all the trappings, good and bad, that go with trying to break into a very closed, back stabbing, fierce profession. Along the way you will be treated to some absolutely eye popping views of the various runway models as well as heart pounding views of this fantastic city and of course, the sexual play that takes place in Kelly’s search for acceptance and success. Will she survive and make her mark in the modeling world?
As this production gets under way we see Kelly’s arrival in Paris, her views of the city as she walks around getting familiar with the area. Then we see her going after her dream and showing her resume at different model castings onloy to be turned away from them all. Then we see her waiting to be called at another one and when she is called in for an interview it looks promising, but in the end she is once again rejected. However one of the women on the board (Apalonia Lapiedra) saw something in her.
Next, we have Kelly at a classy bar having a drink to brush away her fails for the day when she is approached by a handsome gent. One thing leads to another and before Kelly knows she is back at his place giving into him and having one very passionate fling. Suddenly another woman appears and she turns out to be the woman from her last interview, Apalonia. Of course Kelly is now totally embarrassed at what has happened but Apalonia assures her it is okay and now we have a very sizzling, steamy three way taking place. When they are finished, the women talk and it turns out that Apalonia is a talent recruiter and likes what she saw of Kelly at the interview. She wants to work with her but warns her it will be hard, it will be filled with jealousy and deceit. Is she ready for that challenge to make it in this very closed industry? Kelly is ready for whatever comes her way and Apalonia knows what needs to be done. Is Kelly really ready for what she is about to face? Will she be able to deal with, and handle, all that will come her way? Is she prepared for some of the sexual hi jinx that are part of this life?
Kelly lands a make-or-break opportunity in a top model contest. The competition turns fierce on and off the runway when Kelly’s rival (Vanessa Alessia) struts her stuff. Not only on the runway but i9n the bedroom as well. Vanessa makes it very clear she does not like Kelly and gets very devious. As Kelly vies for private photoshoots and lingerie sponsorships, the other models (Christy White, Emiri Momota) resort to sabotage, lies back room dalliances and anything they can do to stop Kelly from reaching the top. With Apolonia as her guide and mentor Kelly continues her rise and even falls into a photoshoot threesome along the way. There is a lot more that will keep your interest on what happens next in this sprawling canvas of the world of runway high fashion models and the variety of people who make it all happen.
Exquisite settings, locales and detail. Superb execution of the highs and lows when it comes to moods, expressions and feelings in Ms. Grandi’s direction. The cinematography is excellent offering up some tremendous views of the surroundings. The sex scenes are heart pounding steam and sizzle with nothing left amiss. The casting is a great mix that Works together very well and the chemistry shows throughout. Overall, this is one of the best that has come out of the VMG and Vixen label and is very award worthy. I would definitely add this to your ‘must see” list. It will be a film to remember.
