You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and Elegant Angel‘s first impressions are always outstanding. I can still remember how clearly the company’s movies stood out in the sea of new releases that confronted me in my earliest days working in this industry. Clean, crisp, and modern, those covers told you that you were going to get a finely distilled porn experience, like a glass of whiskey from the highlands of Scotland.
The company is famous for star showcases, killer comps, award-winning features, fetish faves (hello, oil and squirting!), and noted porn brands like Buttwoman. You’re likely familiar with this famous studio, but if you’re not, oh, how I envy you. You’re about to discover a whole new world of porn awesomeness! (HotMovies long-time customers, take note: the HM Elegant Angel library has increased substantially since we introduced our new website last month.)
First, a little background. Elegant Angel was founded by Patrick Collins, who spun the line off from Evil Angel into an independent brand in 1998. It took a few years for the label to find its voice, as Collins admitted in a 2007 interview. “I decided that the only way to refocus on our core strengths would be to take some time and concentrate on the small details that were overlooked for too long, resulting in Elegant Angel being painfully mediocre,” he told XBIZ. (This would be the last time the word “mediocre” would ever be applied to Elegant’s product.)
Thanks in part to a collaboration with award-winning director Mason, Elegant Angel birthed the swank and sleek style most closely associated with the brand. Current Elegant directors Pat Myne, L.T., and Sid Knox have brought their own distinctive spin to the material. Here are just a few of the amazing things you can discover in Elegant Angel’s catalog:
The Buttwoman series
A big juicy booty captured on video with fetishistic glee: hey, who would complain about that? Buttwoman is a series with the prestige of Playboy Playmate of the Year or XBIZ Performer of the Year. It’s a title held by Jada Stevens, Alexis Texas, and many others over the years. It also slyly pulls from porno history in its callback to classic series like the notorious Buttman. The series inspired some similarly named off-shoots, including Titwoman.
Performers of the Year (and associated series)
It’s such a simple, stupendous idea, you wonder why it wasn’t developed 40 years ago! (As it is, it originated 15 years ago, and what a glorious decade and half it’s been.) Take a slew of award-nominated pornstars, connect them with a world-class director, give them the resources to make a high-key porno, and stand back and watch. This is how bestsellers are made! Performers of the Year eventually gave rise to spin-offs like Best New Starlets and MILF Performers of the Year.
Elegant Angel Select is everything you love about Elegant Angel but sliced into individual clips and scenes rather than full-length movies. It’s often where you will find the freshest, hot-off-the-presses EA content!
Iconic stars in iconic titles! Tori Black Is Pretty Filthy? She sure as hell is, and she’s not the only one. Asa Akira, Lily Carter, Remy LaCroix, Dani Daniels, and more have also strode into the center of the Elegant Angel stage. Awards and bestseller status have often followed.
Elegant Angel is not as famous for its features as, say, Wicked Pictures or Sweet Sinner. But the studio has contributed some porn epics to the genre, including Portrait of a Call Girl and Wasteland. Add them to your watchlist as essential viewing!
You can sample a huge swath of Elegant Angel’s best content when you sign up for the HotMovies membership program, Select Unlimited. (Think of it as Paramount Plus, Netflix, or Peacock, just with porn instead of Yellowstone and Stranger Things. Less Kevin Costner, more boobs.) Look for the “select” icon in the corner of box covers or use the “Select Unlimited” sorting option at the left of list pages.
Once you delve into the Elegant Angel catalog on the HotMovies website, you’ll almost inevitably be thirsting for a still-deeper EA experience. That’s where the Elegant Angel official membership site comes in! With an interface as classily appointed as the brand itself, this web portal will become your online home for Elegant Angel 24/7. Sure, you can join at the monthly rate, but trust me on this one — take advantage of the discount and sign up for a yearly package. You can thank me later! (Tour the site here.)
Baskin’s bottom line
Elegant Angel reminds me of a famous quotation attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and likes to see us happy.” Well, Elegant Angel is proof that the porn gods love us and want us to be happy. The brand has been clipping along as an independent entity for nearly 25 years, with no signs of slowing down.
