'25th Anniversary Swimsuit Video' was a big hit so a year later Penthouse revisited their winning formula. 'Swimsuit 2' isn't awful as there's still a lot of pretty ladies involved, but it doesn't capture the same level of quality as before. Pet Natalie Smith looking thru a photo album takes us thru the scenes - many of which - leave something to be desired.
"Hot Bodies" gets things off on the right note perhaps taking a page from their previous video. This segment has four ladies (Stacy Moran, Seana Ryan, Leslie Glass, Brittany Mays) who stand all together in bikinis and each have their individual strip moment plus a mix of solo clips for each is shown. They all come out winners here, but especially Stacy & Seana (12 mins).
"Alley Cat" is Julia Ann looking great in an alleyway and features an extended explicit shot of her, but it's over too fast (almost 2 mins). "Back at the Ranch" is Sharon Fitzpatrick raking hay and slipping out of her patriotic bikini & boots. It ends on her naked on an inflatable in a pool (2.5 mins). "All Hands on Deck" is Pets (Natalie Lennox, Julie K Smith, Leslie Glass, Theresa Presley) getting naked on the front end of a big yacht. It should be a killer scene given those women involved, but the camera stays at a distance and too much effort was spent getting stylish shots instead of focusing on the actual ladies close-up (4 mins).
"On the Fence" finds Heidi Keller in a black top and black shorts in a quick strip (2 mins). "Back Street Girl" is Gina Lamarca looking fabulous as always as she peels out of her blue two piece bikini hitting many nice poses (4 mins). "The Love Boat" is Natalie Lennox stripping out of a patriotic bikini reminding you she used to be on 'American Gladiators'. She's then joined by JKS and they both apply oil to each others bodies before literally rolling around (3 mins).
"Poolside" is five ladies hanging out with a dude, but there's then only four (Bonita Saint, Natalie Lennox, Sharon Fitzpatrick, Kristen Conrad) by the time they sit on the edge of the pool giving us a better look at them than before. It's not the greatest, but it has a good visual or two (4 mins). "Sea Breeze" is a strip of Leslie on the same yacht from previous and too short to be excited about (2 mins).
"Fun in the Sun" is duos volleyball that eventually turns nude but short, not the greatest concept and the camera is too far away (2.5 mins). "A Picnic for Two" is just as it sounds plus nudity but show in sepia tone for the entirety and not very hot (6 mins). "Nature Girl" is Natalie Lennox on a bike and then getting naked on a swing (2.5 mins). "Desert Oasis" bookends the video by rejoining the same four ladies from the first segment standing now joined by Heidi. A decent montage of them standing around nude or sitting in chairs nicely closes things out with hot closeups (4 mins).
'Swimsuit 2' doesn't deliver a cohesive package as a whole, can't match the quality or feelings established by the original title and individually a lot of the scenes are poor. The intro "Hot Bodies" / outro "Desert Oasis" are the strongest parts aside from Julia Ann's brief appearance. I'm always happy to see material from Julie K. Smith and I appreciate her being included here once again, but it's not her hottest work.
