The first release from Candida Royalle’s new Femme Chocolat line of erotic films is Afrodite Superstar, which looks due for release sometime in April. The film stars newcomer Simone Valentine and was directed by Venus Hottentot. The producer is Natasha Cortes. I think Candida’s role was as executive producer on this film.
The official blurb says:
Afrodite Superstar is a seductive, romantic comedy about Afrodite, a naive debutant who makes a secret Clark Kent style transformation into a sexy rapper. The film was made as a tool for the empowerment of women of color.
Afrodite Superstar provides fresh and unexpected erotic content with a meaningful story that is aimed at tastefully serving the erotic needs of women of color. This is the first ethnically diverse feature to come out under Femme Chocolat, a new division of Candida Royalle’s internationally acclaimed Femme Productions. While Royalle is known for having pioneered the concept of female-sensitive adult movies for couples, it is with Femme Chocolat that she seeks to address the much neglected audience of ethnically diverse couples.
New School University in New York is conducting a preview screening of the film on March 20. Candida Royalle and the film’s creators will answer questions afterwards.

While I welcome any new film for women, the film doesn’t really look like my bag, baby. This is due to the fact that it’s being called an “adult hip hop film”. Fact is, I just don’t like hip hop. It’s not something I appreciate or enjoy. If I hear rap or hip hop on the TV or radio, I turn it off.
(Yes, I’m a whitie, and I suspect that Dave Chappelle’s theories on white people and guitar rock are entirely correct.)
Then again, part of why I’m not into hip hop is that the lyrics are so awful and often misogynistic. I suspect that any lyrics performed by Simone Valentine in a porn movie may be somewhat different.
I’m sure the film will be great, and much welcomed by female porn fans.
By the way, I entirely forgot to blog about the fact that Under The Covers was released on February 6. Candida’s site says the launch party was a big success.
The site also informs me that Candida’s first film, Femme, was included in AVN magazine’s 50 Most Influential Adult Releases of All Time. The article was in the January 2007 issue… which I can’t get to work.
Not sure what’s going on with Adam and Eve, I tried to order Under The Covers and have had three seperate emails telling me three different dates on which I can expect to have my DVD delivered…24/3/07, then today another saying the film is out of stock. Have they really sold out so quickly?
Wow, really? That’s fairly frustrating. I’m now to the point that I really dislike the idea of buying DVDs, because video on demand has become really easy. And I don’t have to worry about customs confiscating anything, which has happened to me before. I’ve discovered that Hot Movies now has a lot of Candida’s movies available for download so that may be a better option. Yes that link does have my affiliate code in it LOL.
