Of course, I love talking porn but I need it to see new scenes/girls and see feedback from other posters to make the most informed decision possible on what scenes to purchase. With the prices where they are, I can't risk purchasing anything subpar. Maybe the overall activity here is down but hope those veteran members stick around that I know I share the same tastes as.
I didn't vote because I couldn't decide. So maybe there were a lot of 'couldn't decides'. I said why back a page. link for lazy:
viewtopic.php?f=96&t=41981#p643487Maybe my not doing so will annoy some people, but Colombia v Russia for me is like a parent trying to choose their favourite twin. Even if they are different in some aspects, you still love them both the same.
So I couldn't choose. Is that weird? I am a bit.
But I thought Justin did a great job running it. Proper graphics, clear instructions, logical structure and he supervised and maintained it very attentively. He's officially PB Forum Master Poll Maker in my view. Others should watch and learn.
Re the result, I'm disappointed that the difference was so marked. I feel the Russian studios have have kind of lost their mojo this year and are stuck in a bit of a rut styling-wise and just direction(orientation)-wise in general, which is sad.
Whereas Columbia's only real shortcoming this year has been not enough scenes released. On that point, had this week's stunning Valentina Milan & Emily Pink scenes been released the last week of voting, the result may well have been closer.
But as a closing note I will say I have a strong feeling this will be South America's big year. Some of that will be due the depression-recession in Europe casting a cloud over mood and the financial aspects (South America is not short of natural resources, and many of those countries are truly sovereign (not US complaint re sanctions), so can choose prosperity.
But a greater part will just be to the feeling coming from that part of the world at the moment. There's a lot of positivity there, even excitment, about the future. Demographically speaking, it's a relatively youthful and vibrant part of the world compared to the ageing/decaying Angloid West and allied countries. And investment-wise, that is where China and Russia are making huge plans as outposts of the BRI inititiative, so huge funding for infrastructure and resources available for social improvement projects coming in, correspondingly employment prospects blooming (hence young people's mood).
So plans are being made (NTeens is one, a young woman leading a team of young women), ambitions are being dreamt up, people are looking forward. The vibe is movement and dynamism, whereas in the West it's more retreat and entrenchement.
So that's why I suggested Giorgio making a trip there. Maybe he's happy in CZ at present, so has no need for a new adventure. But him doing a tour and 'guest directing' with some of the big new Colombian studios would be amazing by way of getting away from Europe and all the problems he is currently juggling re sourcing performers and balancing costs.
And South/Latin America have a lot of in common with Italy. I think the largest Italian expat community outside Italy is in Argentina (maybe that's a few years out of date, but used to be). I have a Venetian friend who left Bolognia for BA for a holiday a decade ago, and never returned. So it would not be a culture shock for him, if anything, more like home than CZ.
It would also be a return courtesy. The NTeens came to GG studios at the peak of the covid situation. Not only a health risk for them, but also logistically, what with all the last minute legal changes re vax passports and entry/exit controls.
Those scenes paid off damn well for both parties, the NTeens and GG Studios. So it would be sweet for him to drop by.
He's an insanely busy man, so if he can't it would not be for lack of courtesy (he's a gentleman) just practicality. But if he could, it would be cool. And just as the Nteens chez GG scenes were extreely popular, so would GG chez the NTeens be.
A thought.
