Jewelz literally drives me mad. positive and negative.
On one hand, the positive (as I commented in this thread last year
viewtopic.php?f=104&t=23789&p=281873#p452265 ), Jewelz is (by far) the most consistently fabulously styled and immaculately maintained performer that has ever appeared on this site, and that's a lot of performers and time. Jewelz fronts the pack.

This site has its 'styling' greats, and I would put Anna de Ville (and a few other US Alt performers here, Penny Archer, Charlotte Sartre in particular), Candy Crush (her 'Emerald Fairy' scene last year was spellbinding) and Natasha Teen at the top of that list.
But Jewelz is further out and greater still. Her make-up and hair colours, accessorizing, costumes, heels and stockings, her whole thing is always just so damn perfect. Every choice she makes 'gets me going', and there's pure artistry in being able to do that.
Like a singer who spanks that ultra high or hushed soft note so sweetly, just when you need to hear it. Or the guitarist who drops the cutest guitar line into the mix, just when you think the band has played all their cards and the song is already as great as it could possibly get. She's an artist in that respect, and deserves praise for always delivering so perfectly on that level.
And I'm an unashamed styling fetishist, so a performers styling and image are as big a part of the sum thrill I get out of scenes I like as the action itself.
And so therein lies the negative thing that drives me mad about Jewelz. 'The rub', as Hamlet would have it.
I want to see Jewlez styled as immaculately as she does, her in well-directed and produced great scenes (1-on-1s, DPs, gangbangs), and not so much (in fact barely at all) playing with a dildo in her bedroom studio. And she almost never does.
It's her style and she is clearly happy with what she is doing in that style because here we are seeing the results of a long time doing that (her current recent flood of new content here would appears to be her decanting a back catalogue of her OF type content onto this site to reach a wider European audience).
And I hope it is selling, because I wish all performers well. Adult work is a tough gig, it asks a lot of those who engage in it (physically, psychologically and emotionally), and the 'high summer' of a performer's career can be crazy short.
But what wouldn't I give to see Jewelz perform for Gonzo. Truly.
Sadly I can't ever see it happening, as (as with so many young US performers these days) any mainstream industry scenes she shoots are inevitably frustratingly modest outings, seemigly aimed less at delivering an unmissable performance than simply raising her profile to attract people who have not heard of her to her private content.
The obligatory 'tippy' Tushy or Blacked or that gloves-and-oil guy with the fish-eye lens, you know the type of thing.
It's kind of like watching someone use a Ferrari to deliver milk. 'Yeah, It's beautiful, but your not doing anything with it!'.
So I feel as if I am always more of an admiring but detached spectator to Jewelz career, than ever really tempted to invest in any content and become a participant. No loss to her at all, as she has a huge following, but a keenly felt loss to me.
I wonder, if Jewelz is not particularly 'action' motivated, if she may move into more nichey and 'minimum contact' things like bondage as she eventually starts considering new ideas and formats to avoid remaking the same bedroom scenes over and again.
Image-wise, in certain repsects, Jewlez actually reminds me very much of Nyxon, who has had a long and distinguished career as a bondage model (and rigger) and is still producing great content. And as Jewelz is in the regular porn world, Nyxon is probably first in her field for her ever-immaculate Alt styling. (were Dita Von Teese still involved in adult work, she another contender for that for her Bonadge Cafe etc shoots).

So this last point is kind of an off-tangent, but if (not expected really) Jewelz were never to appear for Gonzo, I could happily settle for seeing Nyxon 'have a go' at her with her gags, straps, predicaments/scenarios...and sweetly-evil mind.
One day, maybe.
