PLEASE NOTE - This review is my opinion only. I hope it's helpful to you, but don't take it as the final word. Tastes vary, and any review is necessarily colored by the preferences of the author.
I'm reviewing the Alissa series of videos from Tickling Games (www.ticklingames.com). These were released a little over a year ago, and may not be representative of the company's current work. I hope the intervening year gave the management enough time to settle on one spelling for the model's name: it's "Alissa" in most places, but "Alissia" in one. I'll be using the former.
Note that both participants speak only French in these videos. I don't understand it well, but I caught "No!", "Stop!", and "That's terrible!" several times. As tickling videos aren't known for their sparkling dialog, I can't imagine one needing much more vocabulary than this.
STAGING: This is a series in four parts, all featuring the eponymous Alissa and an unnamed tickler. (At least, I think he's unnamed; there's a credit in the introduction to the videos that might be his.) All four are set in what appears to be a hotel room, and all the tickling takes place on the same double-sized bed. The camera appears to be fixed in each scene, and no operator is visible. Lighting and sound are adequate for downloaded clips. Each part ends with a brief chat between the tickler and Alissa.
TICKLER: It's a guy. He's tickling a pretty girl. What more do you need to know about the lucky bastard? He's a pretty good tickler, observant and adaptive. He studies Alissa as he works, refining his technique to her specific reactions. By the end of part 4, he's mapped her out thoroughly.
MODEL: Alissa is a strikingly pretty girl with a slender, fit build, pleasantly rounded features, brown shoulder-length hair and an enormous smile. (The glamor shot accompanying the video hardly looks like her.) She's very personable, joking and chatting with the tickler even as he's working her over. Alissa initially regards the tickler with some trepidation, but develops a rapport with him over the series. She's a unfailingly good sport about the whole thing, sometimes screaming but never whining.
MODEL PRESENTATIONS: Alissa wears a short red dress and heels in part 1, and is unrestrained. In all subsequent parts she's in black bra and panties. In part 2 she's loosely spread-eagled on her back, tied to the bed with black cuffs and lengths of rope. Part 3 features the same presentation as part 2, but with her feet close together. Part 4 has Alissa on her stomach, wrists cuffed and roped to the sides of the bed, her arms mostly perpendicular to her torso. The ropes in all four parts are partly slack, giving Alissa some room to move (see REACTIONS), but not allowing her to defend herself from the tickler.
TICKLING: Part 1 is an introduction/audition clip, with Alissa and the tickler seated on the bed. He removes her shoes and tickles her feet while she tries to remain still. When she's not able to do so, which is frequently, he pins her ankles in the crook of his elbow, or against his thigh. He tries various techniques with his fingers--scratching, spidery touches, squeezing--and several more with a feather. The finger techniques are far more effective, eliciting everything from giggles to belly laughs from Alissa. The feather is less successful, but still manages to have an effect when it's trailed between her toes. The tickler works on her feet persistently for most of the video's 8:15 running time, moving to her upper body in the last two minutes. His technique here is much the same as a man playfully tickling his girlfriend, chasing her around the bed and aiming for her sensitive spots while she struggles to protect herself. Alissa tries and fails to sit still for this.
Part 2 is primarily upper-body tickling. Alissa is spread on her back, and the tickler switches between kneeling at her side and straddling her at the waist. He starts with light, spidery touches on her ribs and stomach, gradually increasing the pressure into gentle squeezes and pokes before backing off slightly, then ramping up the pressure and duration of the tickling again. He gets the strongest reaction from Alissa's armpits, which can't bear the lightest touch without sending her into hysterics. He also uses the feather again, trailing it over her entire upper body, her neck and her nose. About a minute from the end of the 7:00 video, he moves to her knees and thighs, getting reactions only slightly less explosive as from her armpits. He finishes up back in those armpits, and Alissa is visibly tired when he's done.
Part 3 is mostly foot tickling. The tickler starts with finger tickling of Alissa's soles, relying on the cuffs to keep her still. Over the remainder of the clip he pins Alissa's ankles in a variety of ways, using the roped cuffs, his hands and the crook of his elbow. Finger tickling gives way to toe and foot sucking, both of which get good reactions from Alissa. He moves on to the electric toothbrush that's apparently mandatory in tickling videos these days, taking most of the middle part of the 9:00 video. It's most effective between the toes. The tickler rounds out the video with a prolonged finger tickling, and then dives in for an unexpected reprise of the upper body tickling from part 2. Alissa doesn't appreciate this one bit, and exchanges a kiss for a chance to rest.
Part 4 moves Alissa onto her stomach, arms stretched to her sides...mostly. The ropes connected to her wrist cuffs have a few inches of slack in them, and her legs are unrestrained, so she's able to move her body up and down the bed roughly two feet. The tickler repeatedly has to pull her prone by her ankles after she's struggled toward the headboard. He straddles Alissa for most of the video, working predominately on hips, waists, ribs and armpits. He tickles her a bit harder now than in previous clips, never roughly but with visibly greater firmness. Alissa responds accordingly, thrashing and shrieking with more intensity than in the earlier clips. The tickler works on her feet for about half the 9:00 running time, using fingers and the electric toothbrush. He again holds her unbound feet in several ways: pulling them against his body in an improvised hogtie, holding them in his lap, and scissoring them between his thighs.
In all four of the parts the tickler is effective primarily because he knows what works on Alissa. He's never rough or even particularly forceful, but he doesn't need to be. Watching Alissa's reactions is enough to convince me he's getting the job done.
MODEL REACTIONS: Alissa's personality and her responses to being tickled are the real attractions of this series. There are many videos on the market with better production values, better bondage, and even better tickling, but few feature models as fun to watch as Alissa.
First, she's very ticklish, and pretty much everywhere. The gentlest touches on her skin are enough to set her off. She can't stand even moderate pressure against the muscles in her thighs, hips, waist, stomach or ribs. Her armpits are on a completely different plane; she screams herself breathless from ten seconds of gentle squeezing there. Her feet respond best to persistent, continual tickling that wears down her initial resistance. Alissa never seems to "burn out" or stop responding to tickling, even when she's obviously tired.
Second, Alissa's just adorable when she's being tickled. She begins giggling before the tickler even touches her, and once the giggles start she's doomed. She becomes flushed and giddy very quickly, and stays that way throughout each clip. Her smile is huge, warm and genuine. When her giggles give way to laughter, it comes from deep in her chest, loud and breathy and uncontrolled. She shrieks when her armpits are tickled, squeals when the toothbrush touches her feet, and somehow looks cute the whole time.
Finally, Alissa struggles like few other models I've seen over the past twenty years. There's no other word for it: she's a thrasher. Over the course of four clips she manages to squirm, twist, and contort into positions one wouldn't believe possible for someone tied to a bed. In part 4 alone, she curls into a ball, flips over, crawls to the head of the bed and lies parallel to the headboard, rises to her knees, and kicks the tickler completely off the bed, all while tied down at the wrists. She goes completely nuts when the tickler hits her weak spots (did I mention those armpits?), arching her back a foot above the bed in a surprisingly effective effort to move away from the tickler's hands. One really has to see it to believe it.
Alissa clearly doesn't like being tickled, but as I said earlier, she's a good sport about it. She seems to find it less traumatic than funny, even when she's howling from a knuckle in the armpit.
SUMMARY: If you like restrictive bondage or rough tickling, this series isn't what you're looking for. It doesn't feature an immobilized model or the sort of deep tissue tickling perfected by people like James Darke and Yaqi. If you want to see a pretty and very ticklish model fighting like two cats in a sack, though, you can't do much better.
Let me know how much your mileage varies in actual use.
