Jessica Drake asserts, “He’s so good. It’s all his styling. He can just pick stuff and
put it together, and he is so good at making people look beautiful. ”
Genoa, with Nigel Dictator shooting stills, Ric Rodney on
lighting, production assistant Tony Strong, and David
Lord as production manager. And unofficially, Drake is
providing the music, playing tracks by Miley Cyrus, Cardi
B, Ariana Grande, Post Malone ... “Is the soundtrack going
to be made available at the end of the day?” Genoa asks.
Drake is already in costume and fully made up in a
striking shade of pink eyeshadow. Referencing today’s
makeup artist, Drake says, “Jenna is my favoritest. We’re
like partners in crime.” Her scene partner, still in makeup,
is Chanel Santini, AVN’s reigning Transsexual Performer
of the Year. “I have been wanting to work with her forever,”
Drake says, with gleeful anticipation. It’s her third scene
with TS performers, but her first one-on-one pairing.
We admire Armstrong’s handiwork on the set. “He’s
so good. It’s all his styling. He can just pick stuff and
put it together, and he is so good at making people look
beautiful.”Drake is a vision of femininity: rose pink bra,
panties and garter belt, sheer stockings and pink heels.
Her hair is long and straight, and so are those nonstop
legs. Once the lights go on for still photography, the
subtle variations in pink and the different surface textures
are more visible. A wind machine adds a bit of magic.
Soon Santini is on set as well, wearing the same outfit
as her co-star. She’s got long black hair, slender hips,
proportional breasts and beautiful skin—a healthy golden
glow. Peering out from under heavy bangs, Santini
gazes on the set through her perfectly made up eyes.
