Nacho Vidal
Evil Angel star returns to
feature directing
Director/performer Nacho Vidal throws
his hat for the first time in over a
decade into the feature arena with The
Player, out now from Evil Angel.
“Since Back 2 Evil, I think I haven’t
had the chance to really show how
good I really can be as a director and
producer, writer and cameraman,
photographer and actor,” Vidal said.
In the movie, Vidal contracts a
top madam (Yasmin Scott) to assign
devious adventures. “I felt super
good in every scene because they
were created in my perverted mind
and they’re things that always have
attracted me to show in one of my
movies,” Vidal explained.
He elaborated, “I wanted in some
way to reach out to my fans. There’s a
scene with a few guys and there’s small
flashes showing them about to suck
my cock, and it seems there’s some
contact with these guys. I think this is
super good for all the gay fans that are
always asking me when I’ll do some gay
content; this is for them.
“In another scene, Silvia Rubi puts
on a strap-on and apparently penetrates
me in the ass, to honor all the women
who are dying to hurt me sexually!” he
added with a laugh.
Cali Carter
Star launches site with the Lust Network
Adult star Cali Carter has joined The Lust Network of sites with the launch of her new
website, CaliCarter.com, a portal to exclusive photos, videos, blogs, and more from
the award-winning performer.
The site, which features videos including Carter with Penny Pax and Savannah Fox,
among other talent, is available for only $29.95 a month, or as part of The Lust
Network for $39.95 a month, which grants access to exclusive content from Kendra
Lust, Nina Elle, and others.
Carter commented, “It finally launched! After about a year of talking about it, my
site is finally up! I will be having weekly updates. Coming soon is the store, blog, and
weekly webcam show. I can’t wait for you to see what I have planned!”
The busty blonde also saw the recent release of Cali Carter Is the Archangel, a
showcase movie from ArchAngel. Directors and producers who would like her on
their set can book Cali Carter at Society15.com.
