During the opening credits
of Jessica Drake Is Wicked,
Drake delivers a voice-over
that informs viewers that sexuality
and sex are essential to her life,
as important as air. And now, she
explains, in this DVD, she plans to
explore her desires, and see where it
takes her.
The speech is precursor to five all-
sex scenes, each with a distinct look,
theme and fantasy. With this release,
Jessica Drake pushes her boundaries,
as well as the boundaries of Wicked
Pictures and her fans.
The DVD kicks off with a boy/
girl scene that pairs Drake with Ryan
Driller in a sexual interpretation of
Adam and Eve. The tale begins with
Jessica accepting an apple from a
snake (yes, a real, live snake) and
taking a bite. It’s then, against a
lush tropical backdrop complete
with waterfall, Driller appears,
and the pair performs oral on one
another before engaging in a sensual
lovemaking session that is a hallmark
of Wicked Pictures. The scene is
beautiful to look at, and serves as an
appetizer for the tantalizing delights
to come.
From there, Drake is joined by
Angela White, Anikka Albrite, Abella
Danger, Vicki Chase and Brandy
Aniston for a circus-themed orgy.

that really fit their individual personalities (Danger is a wild cat, Chase
is a sword swallower, etc.), the women kiss and fondle in various pairs,
performing oral and exploring each others’ holes with fingers and tongues
before they come together with some toys and strap-ons, all with Jessica
at center stage.
Scene three is a blowbang, with Dirk Huge, Isiah Maxwell, Rob Piper
and Ricky Johnson posing as members of Jessica’s business team. After
performing well on a major deal, Drake rewards the men with her
mouth and hands. She crawls across the conference room table, wearing
a business suit jacket, dress shirt, tight pleather pants and high heels.
Drake takes turns lavishing attention on each of the men, as they all
remain seated, stroking themselves and her when she’s near. Eventually,
she makes her way to the floor in front of the table, and stays on her
knees as the men gather around her. She sucks, licks and strokes all of
them until they eventually unload onto her face and into her mouth.
The fourth scene, titled “Detention,” finds Jessica joined by some of the
top tattooed performers in the business: Anna Bell Peaks, Sarah Jessie,
Lily Lane, Small Hands and Will Havoc. She plays the teacher of the
students in detention, and with a hard-rocking soundtrack adding to the
tension and drive, she can’t help but join in when the naughty students
start making out. Peaks, who has made a big splash in a short amount
of time, almost looks as if she could steal the scene away from Drake,
but the star of the showcase is not about to be outdone, and gets the
attention back on her by getting d.p.’d by Havoc and Small Hands.
As the intensity and action build from scene to scene, it all culminates
with the finale “Beauty.” In what has become the most talked-about scene
from the title, Drake partners with award-winning transsexual performers
Aubrey Kate, Venus Lux and Domino Presley. Each of the women is
slammed out in black outfits that blend punk and high fashion. Jessica
starts by performing oral on each of the women, and then takes a step
further by eating their asses before they take turns fucking her as the
others pleasure one another in the background.
While Drake’s performances and scene partners are all intriguing
and solid—if a bit controversial for some of her long-time fans—there
is not a weak scene in the bunch. And while Jessica Drake Is Wicked sees
the contract star pushing her own boundaries and limits, the DVD is
sort of a return to his roots for director Brad Armstrong. His influence

in everything from set design to costumes to camera
angles is reminiscent of his earlier directing days of
all-sex movies. It’s apparent he knows how to get
some of the best performances out of Drake, and he
knows when to sit back and let her guide the action
and enjoy the carnal pleasures her scene partners have
to offer.
The diversity of the content might make it tough
to decide where to stock this release (though
“showcase” and “all-sex” are the most logical
choices), but it’s sure to please a much wider
audience than many other DVDs available today. It
will be interesting to see how Jessica Drake Is Wicked
influences future releases from some of today’s
biggest stars.
