Pia Sands/COUNT TICKULA/nudity & upper body
Pia Sands, of course, is a pseudonym for B-actress Michelle Bauer (often cast in horror films). Michelle has been a good friend for over one decade and, to append some clarification to rumors, she was definitely NOT faking the laughter; Michelle admits that she is "extremely vulnerable" to tickle chastisements. She voluntarily discussed the TIED & TICKLED video in a mid-'90s "Femme Fatales" interview. A very fetching captive--she experiences further agony, completely nude, in a subsequent tickling scene.
I prefer only "nude/upper body" tickling; hence, I've been trying to locate a DVD from COUNT TICKULA, another TIED & TICKLED installment. It's the BEST, no other vide or DVD has matched its intensity. Julia Parton's hysterics are quite authemtic; Tony Sinclair, producer/director, disclosed that "we had to shut down the camera a couple of times because Julia was losing it--she literally begged for relief, she was tickled out of her mind" (the edits are obvious in the video). Our next victim, Whitney Prescott, was equally vulnerable. In her third segment of the video, she was naked, tied to a table, and screamed for us to 'Cut!" Her agony is obvious in the video, she's out of her mind with hysterical laughter."
I lost communication with Tony a couple of years ago. Has COUNT TICKULA ben transferred to DVD?
An entire legion of "upper body ticklers" (who literally buy only nudity) has recommended two scenarios:
(1.) Mad scientist experimenting on a naked hotty (similar to Sinclair's DR. TICKLESTEIN).
(2.) A vignette similar to HOSTEL (babes are abducted, escorted to a chamber and videotaped while they're sadistically [tickle] tortured."
The more beautiful and nude the model, the more impulse to buy.
