Goldie Ray with her perky pointers is one of the most electric girls to pass through these hallowed halls of hooters. Passion and lust just flow and gush out of her like a river through a busted dam. Goldie’s face lights up with glee in the SCORE studio.
Goldie is one of the more vocal babes to visit us, and that’s a great thing in my book. A girl who talks dirty and raises a ruckus really just adds so much to a sexin’.
And Goldie raises a major ruckus any time a man is in her general vicinity. I love it and the words that pour out of her mouth.
We’re not worried about the volume. A crabby old neighbor doesn’t live next to us, and, hopefully, not next to you, either, when you play this new video.
Goldie does something in her new scene at SCORELAND that you don’t see often. Most women don’t do it.
She gets an anal cream pie. Goldie gets Al’s load launched right into her butthole while he’s doing her in doggie.
I’m sorry to give away the ending. At least it’s a happy ending.
You know what? I thought Goldie could have gone another round right then and there. She looked ready to go again.
As for Al, I think he was carried out on a stretcher.
Goldie’s a wildcat and one of the wildest I’ve ever seen at SCORELAND.
“A friend of mine recommended you,” Melissa said. “I looked at the website and the magazine and decided to try it. You contacted me back right away.”
Melissa is one of the next generation of models that goes straight to pole dancing in the blink of an eye.
It’s not for every new model, of course, and it will never be for everyone, but for the adventurous types like Melissa, Sadie Blooms, Chantal Raye, Goldie Ray and other recent newcomers, the fit is right and tight.
The time for the V-mag annual awards issue is here and I am excited. As the editor of V-mag, it is my favorite issue to do because it is, as they say, the whole enchilada. There is a bit of everything and a lot of everything that is good.
There are newcomers to consider and the list of ladies is pretty great. Newbie Roxanne Miller is looking like a strong contender. So is Siri. Everyone’s favorite Latina newcomer is Nancy Navarro, it seems.
The plumpers are always fun because I like women with big tits, and these ladies are packing a lot of punch. Some of the frontrunners who stick out in my mind are Dors Feline, Angel DeLuca and Marilyn White.
There’s the XXX of the Year category, and so many people are talking about Maserati and Sabina Leigh as the ladies to beat.
There are a few subcategories to consider like Ass of the Year and Pussy of the Year, and that always makes voting more fun.
But if you ask me, the hardest category for voting this year is going to be Model of the Year. This year it is going to be fucking hard to choose a winner. I am putting that out there now so when you guys get the urge to send me emails asking why I have made it so hard to choose a favorite, I can say, “I TOLD YOU SO!”
I mean, just looking through the photos has me wondering how this contest is going to be won. It is going to go down to the wire. The winner will win by just a few votes, that is how close it is going to be. Let’s just put it this way: Hitomi vs. Karina Hart? Leanne Crow vs. Renee Ross? Elaina Gregory vs. Jenna Valentine? And that’s just HALF of the lineup. It’s going to be a hell of a contest.
You guys will be seeing the issue around November but know that it is already in the works and that the voting is going to be close this year, so make sure you get your issues early and vote right away so you don’t miss out on the fierce competition.
It’s exciting!

I predict that Siri is going to sweep the Newcomer of the Year category in V-mag.
Hitomi will be the model to beat for Model of the Year in V-mag for 2012.
I don’t know how the Internet has affected the strip club scene as far as attendance numbers, but the clubs still seem to be going strong according to the people I know in that business. There are much less feature dancers these days in North America, especially in the big-bust league, and many more house dancers.
I don’t go to titty bars like I used to because most of the clubs in Florida tend to hire skinny dancers with small chests, and that’s never been my speed. Back in the 1990s, I managed to see most of the big-bust superstar dancers, like Alyssa Alps, Busty Dusty, SaRenna Lee, Minka, Traci Topps and a lot of other big names, in clubs like Flashdancers and Boobie Bungalow.
There are still tons of clubs in South Florida, and friends I know who work in the club business in the mid-west tell me that there are still lots of clubs in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and other Mid-Western states. (The clubs and bars are more casual there than the expensive gentlemen’s clubs in large urban areas.)
Which leads me to quoting several SCORE Girls about their dancing days.
Gee, she's an angel.
Angel Gee: “I used to dance in a no-contact club, but if I liked somebody and they liked me and I was comfortable enough, I could inch my way a little bit closer, put my boobs up in their face and whatever. And of course they’d say, ‘Can I touch?’ and I’d be like, ‘Hmmmm, maybe!’ I absolutely loved dancing, and it wasn’t even about the money, which is a sad thing ’cause I’m not your average stripper. I love my body. I’m comfortable in my skin, and I love to have guys wanting me. It’s a big turn-on to be the center of attention and all eyes are on me and it’s my show.”
A faceful of Colt 45.
Colt 45: “I’m not much of a dancer. I’m more of an entertainer. I don’t put on a big, glamorous show. I do more of a personal show, an audience participation kind of thing. I always ask the guys, ‘Do you want me to paint myself or do you want my boobs around your face?’ I’ll hang with guys and drink every chance I can get. I’ve never been one to stay in the dressing room and stare in a mirror like some girls. I’m more down-to-Earth, and I like to hang out with people. That always surprises people, that I’m down-to-Earth.”
Morgan danced in UK clubs for a few years.
Morgan Leigh: “American clubs have been around longer so they’re set up better. The clubs are usually bigger over here in the United States. And they’re more accepted. It’s more acceptable to go to a strip club or gentlemen’s club here than it is over in the UK. I’ll often be out with friends and we’ll decide to go to a gentlemen’s club. Guys in Britain are more budget-minded. They are more careful with what they do with their money. It’s still a fantasy thing, a relaxing thing, an enjoyable thing. I think most guys, wherever they are, get the same thrill out of it. In the clubs I danced in, in most of them I had to wear knickers. Of course, it didn’t matter because most of the men only cared about staring at my big boobs.”
Ohio sweetie Destiny.
Destiny Rose: “My club is off the highway so I get a lot of truck drivers who stop in for a bite to eat. On the weekends, it’s a younger crowd. It’s fun. I like dancing on the weekends. I like to squeeze my tits together and lick both my nipples at the same time. It feels good. I am sure that if I tried, I could probably stick both my nipples in my mouth at the same time and suck them and hold them there for a while. There is this one girl that I dance with at the club. She is busty and exotic looking and I love her. I swear that on any given night when I am not working, I will go into the club and I will give her half of my money just on getting lap dances alone! That’s the power of big boobies for you! I can’t resist!”
It's difficult to remove your face from Daylene.
Daylene Rio: “I can pretty much do full-on grind. I don’t have to be 20-feet away. They pop all the time. The dance isn’t over until the guy pops in his pants. I’ve had it happen in 30 seconds. When guys come into the club, they’re not looking for romance. They’re looking to have fun. Sometimes guys will recognize me from SCORE. I love when that happens.”
I long for the days when the big-boobed girls ruled the stages.
What’s SCORELAND2 all about? Well, one of the things it’s all about is $9.99 a month for photo/video updates five days a week and an archive of some of the best scenes from SCORELAND, SCOREVideos.com, XLGirls.com and many of our other websites. You won’t find any new stuff at SCORELAND2 (everything is at least two years old), but you’ll find lots and lots of great big-boob stuff (solo and hardcore) to jack to. And, like I said, it’s all just $9.99.
SCORELAND2 is also about having something for every big-boob lover…a wide variety of girls and scenes…so things never get boring. I think the upcoming week at SCORELAND2 is something to get excited about on many levels.
Monday: Jenny Hill and Sammie Black, two of the great black ‘n’ stacked naturals of the 1990s, two girls whose naturals boobs are as big and floppy and pliable as any I’ve ever seen, go tit-to-tit in one of only three or four scenes they shot together. There was true chemistry between Jenny and Sammie, perhaps because when they met, it was like, “Really? There’s another girl out there who’s built like me?”
Tuesday: Maria Moore, one of the greatest plumpers ever, puts on a spectacular cleavage show then sucks and fucks in one of her earliest hardcore scenes. It’s amazing that the lucky dude who porks her wasn’t suffocated by her massive mammaries. I just checked, and according to XLGirls.com, Maria has FF-cups. No fuckin’ way. They’re much bigger.
If all secretaries looked like Michelle May, executives' marriages would last about two weeks.
Wednesday: Michelle May, during her first visit to our studio, as a super-stacked secretary. Cleavage pouring out of a top as she sits as her desk. Amazing shots looking up at her soft, plush, firm rack. What a view!
Jayden Prescott on her first day of nude modeling, ever. Back home: her loving husband.
Thursday: Jayden Prescott, slim ‘n’ stacked reader’s wife, a girl we first introduced on the Blog on October 1, 2009, a girl who had never posed nude or even been a stripper, does the thing that made her so special: First day in the studio, she not only fucks a total stranger, she takes his cock in her tight little ass. Jayden’s a little lady, and to this day, I still don’t know how she fit that cock in her butthole. First time out of the box, first time in the box.
Friday: Christy Marks and Terry Nova in their barnside four-way with two dudes from Busty Riding Academy. I was in Hungary during that shoot, but I wasn’t at the stable that day. Unlucky me, I was watching Jasmine Black, Melissa Mandlkova and Kristy Klenot splash water all over each other and have a catfight. I know, tough job.
And so completes a great (but typical) week at SCORELAND2: super-naturals in girl-girl action, a great plumper fucking, a stacked girl-next-door putting on an amazing tit show, a reader’s wife taking it up the ass and two of the most-popular naturals ever in four-way hardcore action.
That’s a lot to look forward to. And did I mention? Just $9.99.
If one picture is worth a thousand words, writers would be writing captions only.
And if one pic is worth a thousand words, how many words is a video clip worth?
While pondering these Zen-like statements, please also ponder the amazing sight of Kentucky kutee Stephanie Stalls as she shuts off her brakes and goes for total wildness with two eager fellows.
Stephanie’s huge, 40 inch, 34F tits will also weigh heavily upon your mind as you ponder this subject.
As Dave wrote last week about seeing a girl get double penetrated, there are good things (wild and crazy sex) and bad things (way too much guy-ass).
Only a tiny handful of SCORE Girls have done DP in 20 years.
In a poll currently on the SCORELAND home page, only 31% like to see DPs while 36% would rather see two-girl/one-guy threesomes.
The only SCORE Girl I’ve ever met who absolutely loves double-penetration was Annina. “Me riding the man who is in my ass reverse-cowgirl and the other man in my pussy, or with me on all fours riding one man while the other is in my ass,” Annina told me when I asked her which positions she prefers.
Yes, Stephanie, your pussy and ass are going to be filled with cock at the same time.
Today, I’m going to talk to you about DP. You know, double penetration. Totally stuffed. A cock in her pussy and a cock in her ass at the same time. Double dicking.
If you haven’t noticed, there isn’t a lot of that at SCORELAND, SCOREVideos.com and XLGirls.com There’s some, but not much. Daphne Rosen gets DP’d in Boob Science (the scene is at SCOREVideos.com; the photos are at SCORELAND). Jasmine Black gets a cock in her ass and another in her pussy at the same time in Busty Riding Academy (this scene is at SCOREVideos.com). Holly Halston gets double-stuffed in My Wife, Your Meat (also at SCORELAND). And, off the top of my head, that’s it.
There’s a reason we’ve filmed so few DP scenes with SCORE Girls (although many of them were perfectly willing to enjoy a double-dicking if we had asked). Here at The SCORE Group, we’re boob focused, and when a girl is getting her pussy and ass drilled at the same time, it goes without saying that the focus is going to move away from her chest. Second, we’re well aware (because we’ve heard it so many times from so many members and readers) that a lot of you don’t want to see “too much guy.” Well, when the camera closes in for the hot stuff in a DP scene, there’s a LOT of guy. Hanging balls. Cocks. Man ass. All the stuff many of you have said you don’t want to see. In a DP scene, it’s unavoidable, which is why when we’ve filmed three-way anal scenes with two studs, the guys usually take turns on the girl’s ass rather than filling her pussy and ass at the same time.
I’m bringing this up because next week at SCORELAND, we’re going to present a rare DP scene, and it’s a good one because Stephanie Stalls will be the recipient. Yep, the short ‘n’ super-stacked house dancer from Kentucky is going to have her pussy and asshole filled with meat at the same time, and our cameras will be zooming in to capture all the details.
Are you looking forward to that?
Do you like DP scenes?
Would you like to see more of them?
Or do you think SCORELAND should be a no-DP zone?
Let us know because if you’re all-in on DP, then…well, you can finish this sentence yourself.
With the addition of the comment boards in SCORELANDand on the Blog, you can send your thoughts about a set, a video or a model immediately. And that’s great except many of the comments are one or two sentences. Rarely do I see anything longer than a paragraph. It’s just the nature of the electronic times we live in. Texting, Twitter, Facebook and all the rest. Everything is in short bursts.
Before the miracle of the Web and home computers and instantly transmitting our feedback, there were the old-school letters columns. “Scorecard” began in the premiere issue of SCORE (June ’92) and has been part of the magazine every month, with rare exceptions. Intended as a reader forum, “Scorecard” is a place where comments, suggestions, criticisms, ideas, requests and questions have always been welcomed.
How did the first issue get letters? Before launching SCORE, a questionnaire was mailed out to guys who bought big-boob magazines, and those responses made up the first “Scorecard.” After the first issue hit, the mail started to arrive.
The “Voluptuous Letters” began in the Fall ’94 edition of V-mag and was renamed V-Mail in the June ’95 issue. We’ve always encouraged everyone to mail in their comments and tell us who and what they wanted to see. Since the beginning, we have only published the letter writers’ initials, never their full name. The major change we’ve seen over the years is the drop in the traditional stamped letter in favor of emails.
The web version of “Scorecard” was added to SCORELAND in September 2000, although there was an earlier version. Since then, it has been posted every week on Friday, averaging five letters a week. Tomorrow will be “Scorecard” Volume 616. Multiply that by five letters per volume and I’ve run out of counting fingers.
“Scorecard” letters can be informative, quirky, supportive, argumentative, funny, insulting or mindboggling, but one thing is certain: The letters, and the guys (and sometimes girls) who write them, are never boring. Sometimes the models themselves have written in.
Here are six memorable letters.
“Scorecard” #1, Letter 2
No Naked Men!
I think your magazines would be much better if you could stop showing models with shaved pussies and naked men. No shaved girls and no cocks please! Especially naked men is a bore. SCORE is a men’s magazine, not a gay mag! On the other hand, SCORE has showed a lot of attractive girls during the years. I have been buying your magazine since 1996, and I think the publication is great apart from the naked men. If you could concentrate the magazine on the girls, the result would be superb.–Ult S., Uppsala, Sweden
“Scorecard” #44, Letter 1
A.G.E.N.T Of Anus
Zuzanna’s anus is fabulous. Nice dildo insertion picture, too. Why no hardcore stuff? We know she’s a great hardcore performer. SCORE Xtra: Julia Miles and Chloe. Look at those delightful toes! Nice photos of Chloe’s anus and Julia’s finger in Chloe’s vagina. I liked the close-up of Chloe’s anus. Why no close-up shots of Julia’s anus? Nice close-ups of Zuzie Boobies’ anus and vaginal butterfly, though. Corina Curves with a penis almost completely in her mouth is a beautiful sight. Thanks for the close-ups of her magnificent anus. Sally’s toes, anus and nipples were all great. Christine’s anus was another highlight. Ava: Encore with bare feet! Tania Angel reminds me of Tiny Nicky Tease, and that’s a good thing.-A.L., Los Angeles, California
“Scorecard” #102, Letter 4
Pinch Them For Us
As a woman who views your site regularly, I just wanted to write in and say I love your site! Nothing turns me on more than to look at your pictures and videos of women pinching their nipples. I will admit that I pinch mine while looking at them. I love Autumn-Jade and Desirae. But I would have to say my favorite video clip is Melissa Carey. Watching a man pinch her nipples was a real turn on for me. I pinched my nipples just as he did hers while watching the clip over and over and nearly came. By the time I had started touching my clit, I was so wet and excited I came so quickly! Keep up with the pictures and videos of nipple pinching and twisting. Those are such a turn on!–Signed, Just Me
“Scorecard” #115, Letter 4
XXX
You know what? If I was a SCORE supervisor, this would go like this: If models don’t want to do any XXX videos, then I would tell them, get the fuck out of SCORE Group. It’s just like if a football player would tell his coach, I will only run on the left side of the field, you imagine that? Many of these busty models came out of nowhere. Before they came to SCORE, they were nothing. Now that they are famous models and they have $$$, they think they can choose to not shoot XXX. The fact is, they are in their right to make this decision, but SCORE is also in their right to tell them: “Well, if you don’t want to do XXX, then find yourself another magazine or model agency.” See then what they will do. I guarantee you they will change their minds in one hour, bunch of arrogant, materialistic girls. That’s one of the reasons everybody loves Autumn-Jade so much, because she is so enthusiastic and always willing to perform every challenge of her modeling life. No wonder she is one of the most adorable models SCORE has! God bless her. The rest who don’t want to make XXX, fuck them! I’m sorry, maybe I am a little upset, but these kinds of things make me think how when you are in the bottom of the life lane, you’ll do anything, but when you think you got it made, you start bullshitting around and even rejecting what your bosses propose. If I was a SCORE Group manager, I would kick them the fuck out, let them get a job in some supermarket as a cashier. You’ll see how fast they’ll be calling you again and telling you, “Yes, I will do that XXX.”–Sincerely, G.
“Scorecard” #119, Letter 2
Stop The Jacking!!
I have some negative feedback concerning two increasing trends I see. I know The SCORE Group listens to their readers, which is why I would even bother to speak up. First of all, please, I implore you to stop with the constant masturbating references! “Jack”… “get to jacking”… “break out the Bounty”… “21CC salute,” etc. In the name of all that is good, I beg you to stop! You guys have a jack fetish or something. It seems like every cover, every pictorial instructs us to “get jacking!” Enough already! It weirds me out and somehow seems kind of gay that guys are imploring me as to when and how to “jack.” There is something deeply disturbing about your constant reminders. Stop it now! I think we all know what to do if we so choose. I cannot believe I am the only one to feel this way. Please put the issue up to a vote. Another issue is the increasing use of toys with the babes. It seems to be the required thing lately that each photo set includes the girl jamming a piece of plastic to the hilt. A while back, another guy made mention of this, and I totally agree. It might work on video, but something is lost on a still image. I just don’t get it. Guys get off on this? A piece of inanimate plastic? I think many a great photo is ruined by this dildo trend. To me, it’s neither hot nor sexy. My vote…lose it!–Bruce, New York
“Scorecard” #131 Letter 3
Stop The “Stop The Jacking” Comments
Bruce wrote to Scorecard (“Stop The Jacking!” #119) complaining that you guys use too many references about “Jacking.” Please let me respond to him by saying SHUT UP! I don’t care who tells me when/where/how or why to jerk off. If I see a hot lady in SCORE, I don’t need suggestions, but I don’t mind ’em either! He also complained about you showing too many dildo shots. Again: SHUT UP! I am always ready to see a big-titted gal put something up her pussy, whether it be flesh, plastic or a cucumber! I suggest that if Brucie objects to SCORE‘s contents that he go back to Cosmo!–John
I’ve touched on this subject before, but I’ve never really gone into it in-depth the way I’m about to. The main reason I’m bringing it up is because I just finished writing the copy for tomorrow’s SCORELAND2 posting of Harmony Bliss, in which the tall, blonde, sexy, pointy titted, first runner-up for 2001 SCORE Newcomer of the Year sucks and fucks in a scene that starts with Harmony sunning herself by a pool before moving inside. It’s one of my favorite scenes. I love how Harmony’s pointers point straight down while she’s getting fucked doggie-style, and her shaved pussy always looks great around a cock. Harmony’s pussy is so shaved, you’d think it was bald.
Shaved=Hair used to be there. It was shaved off. If it’s not shaved or waxed again, it’ll grow back.
Bald=Hair either was never there or will never be there again. No shaving will be required to keep it hairless.
Harmony’s pussy looks bald.
Anyway, I’m getting away from my point, which is this: Harmony is one of the girls who I least expected to go hardcore and surprised me the most when she did. After all, in 2001, when she debuted, she said, “I like seeing the girls get all dolled up for the photo shoot, in fancy outfits, sexy lingerie, like the pin-up girls of old used to do. I don’t even like all of the XXX hardcore. I like the glamor stuff more. I don’t need to see cum shots and I’m not a huge fan of those close-up shots. I like to see the whole model, all of her body and her curves.”
Well, we’ve seen all of her and more. In the scene that goes live tomorrow at SCORELAND2, we get to see cum all over her body and her curves.
So, who else is on the list of models who I least expected to see do porn and was most surprised when they did do it?
I guess Brandy Talore comes to mind, but she went hardcore only a year after her modeling debut, so I didn’t have enough time to expect her to do or not do anything. Harmony waited more than six years.
I’m surprised that Valory Irene ever touched a cock on-camera, but she waited less than a year, and she still hasn’t gone all the way.
Linsey Dawn McKenzie really made us wait. Over five years, in fact. I remember when John Fox told me that LDM had finally decided to do hardcore and that the videotape was on its way from our studio in London, England to Miami. I didn’t believe it until I saw it.
Autumn-Jade surprised me a little. Dawn Stone surprised me a lot.
Kaytee Carter…she surprised me. She did it once. I’d be shocked if she ever did it again, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Harmony Bliss…she has done a lot of scenes…and every time I see her in action, I can’t believe what I’m watching. She just might be No. 1 on my list of, “I Never Thought She’d Go All The Way And I Still Can’t Believe She Did.”
I’m not the type to watch a video, enjoy it a lot and then move on and totally forget it.
I have my favorite go-to videos.
It doesn’t matter when they were made or if the girl is still strutting her sweet stuff, is retired, has real boobs or has really big boobs.
I think a lot of guys are the same. At least that’s what I’ve read.
So here are a few of my favorite SCORE videos. If you’ve never seen these, check them out at SCORELAND or SCOREVideos.
If it’s also on DVD, the title will be in parenthesis.
Harmony Sweet (Big Tit Fuck Fest)
Harmony Sweet is a co-ed in need of counseling. She has sexual issues with her boyfriend. She goes to the college campus doctor who has a hypertensive personality and a fondness for ordering around busty blondes. The kind of doctor you often read about in the newspaper. Before long, Harmony is receiving his special kind of sexology training. Now she can leave his office confident in her new skills.
Kianna Dior (Hard SCORE 2)
One of my all-time favorite porn stars, Kianna Dior, did this scene in 2004. She’s still very active in porn and still looks the same. I love her Asian features, too, and her trim-and-stacked body. The raunch levels are off the meter as Kianna slobbers and drools a river over Rod Fontana’s horn and, in general, gets totally dirty-nasty, going all out like a hurricane of sex. And she’s still the same way today. Few play with cum or talk so dirty the way Kianna does.
Aspen (Big-Tit Rubdown)
Here’s one of my favorite V-mag models who made regular appearances and was really into it. This massage session and table-top topping by the masseur was tailor-made for Aspen’s erotic personality because she likes “lots of foreplay. I like to be really worked up to the point of begging to get fucked. It just seems to be so much more intense the longer it takes. I love a strong, dominant man who takes charge and fucks me flat on my back.”
Co-eds and Asians and big tits on sex kittens.
These are a few of my favorite things.
Post-script:
Maria and I just read that today is National No Bra Day. We never heard of this but obviously it’s not sponsored by Playtex or Maidenform.
This news just came out of nowhere with no advance notice that Maria and I knew about. There is nothing about it in the mainstream media.
Speaking for myself, I love how a pair looks in a bra that hangs ’em high and makes rounded mounds.
I assume there are no parades being planned at this late date. I’ll check the 10 o’clock news tonight. If there was a parade, I hope it rained so their tops got nice and wet.
According to their official website, which was not operating when I checked it out, the organizers, who are probably male, announced:
“Ladies, free your breasts for 24 hours by removing those dreadful (but at times oh-so-helpful) bras. Our perkiness should not be hidden. It is time that the world see what we were blessed with. Your breasts might be colossal, adorable, miniature, full, jiggly, fancy, sensitive, glistening, bouncy, smooth, tender, still blossoming, rosy, plump, fun, silky, Jello-like, fierce, jolly, nice, naughty, cuddly… But the most used word to describe your breasts on July 9th should be FREE!
“Gentlemen, you can participate too! Your job will be to support us ladies by rocking something purple. It can be a purple tie, purple boxers, purple socks, the NNBD button or t-shirt.. If it is purple or with the NNBD logo, it supports us. (Your support means quite a lot to us…) If wearing a bra on this day is absolutely necessary, you can definitely show your support by wearing something purple.”
With this heat wave currently baking the streets, going braless and wearing something thin is probably not a bad idea.
If you see any bra-less women wearing purple today, let us know. And then tell her about SCOREModelsWanted.com.
