Here's a review of the video "Playboy's Girls of South Beach."

There are exactly two good reasons to own this tape:

1. You are a diehard gotta-see-her Angel-Boris fan;
2. You really want to see a good example of what I'll call Playmate-Power MegaZord versus the cute-but-ordinary naked girl.

The video opens with a shoddily electronically superimposed image of Angel over a fast-moving streetscene from [I assume] Ft. Lauderdale. Heavenly Angel has an excellent public-speaking voice, clear and confident with standard diction. She does appear to have a bit of trouble with the cue cards or teleprompter as she pauses at strange points in the sentence [like William Shatner] though this disappears later in the video. At this point Angel's eyes seem a lovely pale blue. Later they appear their usual amber. Angel promises to return later in a Playmate Profile.

So I sit back to endure [ :-) ] twenty minutes of watching cute naked girls until Angel's return. And "endure" appears to be the right word. The models are cute but the videography and score are horrible! Fuzzy lenses belong in Penthouse and heavy-metal music is better suited to jamming on the interstate in one's car.

I have to wait nearly thirty minutes for Angel's succor. For a whopping four minutes she returns to dazzle and delight in spite of mediocre camera work and make-up. However, there are a few inches of tape which verge on the unflattering. Part of the charm of video is the presense of small adorable flaws, but Angel's acne scars don't seem to fall in this category :-(

Angel departs again and we're back to the cute-but-ordinary naked-girl doldrums. They seemed to have wiped the vaseline off the lenses and the metal doesn't clash so. A cheroot-toking Angel returns to bid us good-bye against a backdrop of urban nightlife.

Street-clothed Angel dances and the credits roll. Actually heads ought to roll!! The candidates are:

Executive Producer: Hugh Hefner [shame!]
Director/Dir-of-Photography: Roshie
Producers: Gary Turchin, Todd Denkins & John Collins
Original Score: Rick Lama & Roxx Gang

Would you believe they didn't even credit Angel or the other models!!!

I hope Angel's wings grow back after this clipping.
