THE COUNTRY ISSUE IS OUT NOW!

Savages (Marquee International) :: Despite a big skin spread in Playboy three years ago (mass distribution rights have been snarled), despite the presence of vulvaceous vixen like Ultra Violet, Asha Puthli who appeared in Oui, and Susie Blakely, who is some kind of a landmark herself as the first high fashion model with an unmistakable sleaze quotient, Savages is neither the raw ribbon of primal porn promised by the skin mag layouts, nor is it a movie with anything particularly cogent to say about the parallels between primitive tribal totems and our present setup (although it pretends to be).
