'1992 Playoff' looked to crown a winner and they couldn't have chosen a better lady than Julie Strain. She'd first made Penthouse Pet - Jun 1991 - before winning the ultimate title of PotY 1993. Though she had real competition in blondes Theresa Presley and Mahalia. This vid has some enjoyable pieces from all of them, but ultimately it gets buried under too much artsy fluff from director Andrew Blake.
After a standard title card, montage intro (1 min) is "Penthouse Pet: Theresa Presley". Initial footage of her naked in a helicopter flying thru the sky is more cool visual than titillating (1.5 mins). It's her spying on a blonde and Theresa herself in a separate scene stripping from a white tank top, jeans that brings on nudity the right way. A slow pace that first sees her ripping open her top to expose her boobs before attention turns to her buns, kitty. The latter in closeup as she tears her panties off (8.5 mins). In a black bra, thong panties & wig her buns, kitty get shown off briefly and then it's her pictorial and a voiceover (2.5 mins). Exposes herself in a car before more talk and jumping on a trampoline naked wraps things up (3 mins).
"Penthouse Pet: Julie Strain" has her drive along in a car before the beach (filler). Topless then nude amongst the rocks is nice, but it's in sepia tone (blah). Thankfully on top of cliffs either wrapped in a piece of cloth or completely nude is in color and shows off Julie much better (6 mins). Inside a house in a vinyl jacket she rolls around the floor looking great, but not much nudity even when she changes clothes and moves to a couch (5 mins). Thankfully her in a bathtub is a winner though. Her tan body getting wet and every part shown off in closeup once or twice ... I only wish it was longer (2.5 mins).
Pictorial and voiceover here before back to the rocks. She poses in a sci-fi getup briefly in sepia tone then completely nude with only chains wrapped around her in color which is hotter (3 mins). In a house she bounces from room to room to close things out but again not much in the way of nudity is frustrating. Peek at her kitty under a desk and an extended look later in bed is all that's here. Way too much time goes by with little to show for it (4.5 mins).
"Penthouse Pet: Mahalia" has this Dutch short haired beauty in a style of dress that really shows off her boobs, muff. A move to indoors has her pose in a black dress that again same thing (2 mins). An extended chat follows (1 min) before naked in a back yard (2 mins). A western segment bounces around with different costumes, wigs before a few good nude shots in the desert (2 mins). Inside a house is the same thing & only a few pleasing shots. Pictorial and voiceover comes next and then a lite girl/girl segment that ends with play fighting as both are nude (3 mins). Now she strips from a blue top, jeans and gets naked in bed that gives the most nonstop pleasing nudity (3 mins). A few more words and then a strip outside on a sunny day in a red wig with a few decent looks in the mix (3 mins).
Always been a fan of Julie Strain so this was a title I looked forward to and it didn't deliver how I'd like. Not just her but the other two ladies as well. Partly due to the time period maybe, but mostly due to director's choices. '1992 Playoff' has meager pieces of goodness, but not enough to make it a solid Penthouse title.
