The Vixen chiefs call the vignette Ultimate MILFs Brandi and Maitland Share a B Day BBC. Director Kayden Kross titled her film Close To Home. Don Juan DeMarko says this is one of the most brilliant pairings in adult film history. An authentic glimpse into the return of the porn star, and we fucking need this in today’s adult entertainment marketplace. Let’s walk through this grand finale spectacular of 2023 from MILFY.com so we can counter the notion that porn stars do not exist in modern-day adult entertainment.
For years now, shit, two decades, I have heard many voices from within the industry say there are no more stars in the world of pornographic films. Legends of the game have told me that today’s performers could not handle a day on their sets. They could not sell the fantasy without learning the scripts or hitting their marks. I must admit, when I started writing in the industry, there was much of my being that believed that bullshit. Now, I am not calling out any legend of this industry, for they have paved the way for all of us. Hell no. If you look hard enough, there are still stars in this sky, and as an AVN-nominated producer, I know that creating a star is more than just the model’s appearance and vernacular.
For instance, how the fuck does one create a character like Elmo? Let’s talk about some shit all of us grown folk have seen. No matter if we are eighteen or eighty. The Sesame Street icon has someone speaking for him, has a puppeteer with their hand up his ass controlling his movements, and of course, those glorious writers who create the words that all your wee-ones drive you fucking crazy with. What is my point? Well, it takes more than one person to make an iconic figure in entertainment. There is a standard to uphold and a planning process that contributes to the final product. The next thing you know, you’re rushing the doors of Wal-Mart and tackling your neighbor on Black Friday to grab the merchandise made in Taiwan. The same rings true for a porn star (especially when it comes to ass play).
Our digital age of Duck Dynasties and MUSE Season One and Two things. We live in an entertainment era of speed, quantity, and reality. Or as closely as we can bend the viewer’s belief systems to fit what we are trying to entertain them. All of that takes production crews and value. All that takes precision guidance by an influential artist to make you believe and want more, and then binge-watch season two. Or, if you are fucking incredible, invite your boys over for a circle jerk. Come on, this is 2023. Stop lying that you never rubbed one out at your homie’s crib. It is perfectly fine to share that weirdness with the world because that shit is cool as hell. Especially here at DonJuanDeMarko.com. Now, on to Brandi Love, Maitland Ward, and Close To Home.
I don’t think there is anyone who will argue with bestowing the title of porn superstar upon these ladies. Both are icons of the digital era and have the trophy count to prove it. To me, Don Juan DeMarko, they are ladies who prove that the title of a porn star is not dead, nor is it dying. But, what has always made these sex symbols of modern-day who they are, goes deeper than those perfect asses, unforgettable tits, and Colgate smiles. They are ladies who understand production. Women who get the big picture about who they are and what it is that fans will remember. Kayden Kross is just the most recent director to highlight Brandi Love, and she does it in ways that melt your heart before she lets those nipples fly and poke an eye out. The introduction to this scene, it shows what a porno film is. It shows who a genuine porn star is. Kayden Kross makes you count the seconds till the clothes come off—all with a smile and maybe some gritted teeth.
It takes a hair and make-up team to create the porn star’s facade. To make the characters that you want to watch. The intro clip to each MILFY scene is all legs, lips, and buns–no nipples, no kitties, and no penetration. That is the art of video fantasy in adult cinema. That is the art of the porn performer. The ladies, like Maitland Ward, make you see another character, even though you have seen her railed harder than those steel rods that guide the Japanese bullet train through Tokyo. Close To Home is that vignette that proves cinema is still alive. Porn stars are remaining in adult films. It is harder to spot them with a sea of content you, the fan, must sift through before you can find Brandi Love and Maitland Ward. Give or take, these ladies are industry giants, but compared to twenty years ago, it is ten times harder to find a Brandi Love scene among modern productions than when Kayden Kross was a rookie. That is what has changed about porn, not that no stars are remaining.
When you stop and smell those cookies baking in the oven, you will see that Don Juan is not kissing ass, nor is he trying to make a name for himself. I have already done that with the people I respect in this industry. What I now wish to do, especially with this first glorious article at DonJuanDeMarko.com, is to show there is so much to celebrate in the porn world today, and that is what we wish to do here. That is the DJD Media standard. That also makes Close To Home, Maitland Ward, and Brandi Love the wonders of the modern age that close out 2023 with a bang but perhaps do something more. We should look to reopen that door to massive production and opportunities for others to know that a porn star must be created over time with gentle influence towards perfection by many people, in front of and behind the camera.
