Vanessa Del Rio, Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior

Vanessa Del Rio, Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior Review

I have to admit, this book was unexpectedl; ESPECIALLY in this incredible, oversized and luxurious printing. That being said, if you release a photographic capsule on Vanessa Del Rio you have two choices:

1. delicately find the odd frame and 'portrait' that captures her essence but avoids the x rating

OR

2. embrace the x, show her in all porn's prurient truth.

Taschen, no shrinking violet of a publisher, chose the second path. THANK YOU. To see period porn in extra-large, art-glossy print, quickly surpasses fetishistic purvey. Rather than try to recapture the dirty underground experience that was 70's theatrical porn, Taschen wrapped Vanessa Del Rio in the highest of design and aesthetic book experience.

This is a glorious book in both content and creation, by a publisher that outrageously celebrates the porn experience rather than denigrates it.

Vanessa Del Rio, Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior Overview

Fifty years of slightly slutty behavior !

Back in 1974, the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created America's first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing, except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred, Vanessa took any role they'd give her, because, amazingly, she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans, awed by her ferocious onscreen sexuality, made her a top box office draw and America's first Latina star. Retired since 1986, Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries. What her fans don't know is that her real life was, and is, as wild as anything she did on film.
