Boogie Dykes: Two Independent Filmmakers Are
Changing the World of Mainstream Porn, Michelle Tea, San
Francisco Bay Guardian
Since when can you find butch dykes and long embarrassing emotional
processing scenes in porn? Since now: Shar Rednour and Jackie
Strano, two sex-positive dykes in San Francisco, bring ‘real
lesbian sex’ to mainstream skin flicks. Unlike other girl-girl
smut, the only silicone you’ll find on these actors is strapped
between their legs. In a rather graphically worded article (not for
the faint of heart), San Francisco Bay Guardian film
reviewer Michelle Tea points out Rednour and Strano’s attention to
detail in using quality sex toys, not the ‘plasticky, weird stuff
found in porn stores’ that most big-budget pornos use. All of the
hard work that Rednour and Strano have put into making their films
(including putting out classified ads for exhibitionist lesbians)
finally paid off. Recently, the Adult Video News Awards, the Oscars
of smut, took notice and nominated their latest double feature,
‘Hard Love’ and ‘How to Fuck in High Heels,’ for the Best All-Girl
Scene and Feature awards. Tea gushes, ‘That it was nominated by the
big players is shocking. And I was there with the winning dykes at
the AVN Awards to see it all happen.’
