It has been so long since we’ve seen Tera Patrick in a boy/girl scene without hubby Evan Seinfeld (aka Spyder Jonez), that I almost forgot just how sexy she can be on camera. Vivid legend Paul Thomas takes the helm for this one, and it’s a movie that’s well-shot, well-written (by Toni G.) and has some great sex in it. In short, it’s Tera’s best movie in years.

The movie takes a look at the fashion world, but lest anyone think this is an attempt to rip off Evil Angel’s Fashionistas, Fashion Undergound takes a totally different slant on it. Tera essentially plays herself, except here she is one of the world’s best-known fashion models instead of one of the world’s best-known adult stars. While Tera gives a great performance here (in addition to reminding us how erotic she is, Thomas’ movie also reminds us that Ms. Patrick is also a fairly good actress), the best/most interesting one comes from Penny Flame, who plays a southern (including accent) reporter who begins the movie covering the fashion show, but by the end of the film has become a fashion model herself.

There’s a lot of sexual action in Fashion Underground, most notably Tera’s two boy/girl scenes – one at the opening of the movie, and one at the end. Her first scene is with Tommy Gunn at a fashion party that’s being thrown, and has her slipping out of a sexy black dress to reveal even sexier black lingerie. She sits on Tommy’s face to allow him to lick her out, then drops to her knees in front of him and gives him a nice blowjob. The two then go into doggy penetration on the floor; hop up to a nearby couch for some reverse cowgirl; then move back to the floor for some cowgirl. The scene wraps up with Tera masturbating for Tommy, and Tommy proceeding to jerk his load onto her tits.

The best scenes of the movie are the last two, starting with an extremely hot scene between Penny Flame and Chris Cannon in a hotel kitchen. Penny looks absolutely stunning in black lingerie and black thigh-highs, and the character she is playing is so naughty, that most viewers are going to have a hard time “making it” to the final scene in the film...which is another scorcher – this time with Tera and Jean Val Jean. The movie appears to have been shot (in a combination of both film and video, depending on the scene) with HD cameras, but hasn’t been anamorphically enhanced for this release – meaning viewers will be forced to watch a letterboxed version...really the only downside of this DVD release.

Extras on the disc include a nice 19-minute behind the scenes featurette; five bonus scenes taken from other Vivid releases (including scenes with Monique Alexander, Mercedez, Stefani Morgan and Briana Banks); slide shows; a text biography of Tera; and five trailers for other Vivid movies, including a sneak-peak at the upcoming Reign Of Tera 2.

Fashion Underground will remind everyone out there why Tera Patrick is one of the biggest stars in adult. It’s only a shame we couldn’t get this release a month ago, since I’m guessing it would have been nominated for numerous AVN awards. Regardless, it’s a DVD that you shouldn’t hesitate in picking up.
