John Stagliano’s Las Vegas show Fashionistas showcases some of the most amazing fetish performers in ways not seen since the days of Caligula. In typical Las Vegas style, the S/M show combines enough glitz and glamour to rival the big production numbers by the showgirls in the major casinos. A show like Fashionistas has to be experienced live in the audience, but the next best thing would be to film the show. When Fashionistas came out, it made waves in the adult film world. Few films were as unique as that one. After the success of the first Fashionistas, Stagliano returns with the two-disc Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge.

The first disc is a sort of documentary of the Fashionistas show. These clips show what a truly dazzling show it is. Aerialists and dominatrices share the stage while wearing deeply arousing outfits by noted fetish apparel designers Marquis. Seen in the audience is the director, actor and all-around European lover Rocco Siffredi. He is so turned on that he and his date start fucking around while surrounded by the audience. In case you were wondering, that sort of behavior is not encouraged at the actual Fashionistas show. Siffredi gets to interact closer with the shows stars in a backstage threeway.

By the second disc, Siffredi has formed an obsession with one of the performers from the show. The alluring vixen is played by Katsumi. Siffredi finds her on an underground fetish web site called Safado. We get glimpses of the site through the various video clips he plays. Here the film gets interesting. An abandoned warehouse is filled with a motley crew of fetish freaks. Looking very much like a Nine Inch Nail video, the tattooed and pierced fetishists engage in a list of sexual deviations. We have bondage, tit clamps, spankings, and strap-on sex. Soon enough, the film goes hardcore and that’s where you get a cavalcade of porn stars. The orgy seen is almost like a who’s who of adult films: you can spot Belladonna, Nacho Vidal and other familiar faces (and genitalia). This is heavy-duty hardcore as in face-slapping, choking and ass-to-mouth.

If you’re only into hardcore, the first disc will not please you. Even the second disc starts of with no hardcore. Fetish performers rarely engage in hardcore. Once the warehouse scenes are over, the film makes up for the lack of hardcore by going into overdrive in the amazing orgy scene. It’s hard to not like a film as over the top as Fashionistas Safado. There's enough here to please anyone. Fetishists will love the first disc and hardcore fans will surly have enough to jack off to in the second disc. A trip to Las Vegas is highly recommended to see the Fashionistas show; if not, the DVD is the next best thing.
