The Porn Supremacy

By Leslie Barton

Published on February 28, 2008

Sure, we look good without a bra and we're sexually aggressive, but stacked up against the girls in Russ Meyer’s films, we're just pasty faced nuns pulling on our rosary beads. Midnite Movie Mamacita, the grand dame of Grindhouse Redux, screens the porn impresario’s last great skin flicks, the Fellini-esque Up! (1976) and the torrid sexxx romp Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (1979). Up!/Ultra-Vixens star Francesca “Kitten” Natividad, a two-time Miss Nude Universe and one of Meyer’s late-period faves, will be on hand to hawk memorabilia and, er, press the flesh. But the Mexican starlet’s no hottie has-been; she and her double-D-cup assistants continue to churn out instant classics like Faster Pussycat Fuck! Fuck! (2005) and the upcoming Sugar Boxx.
