If you’ve never seen any of her films this gives plenty of titillating glimpses into scenes from many of her films, plus a few short interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

Here’s what the boxcover for Candida Royalle’s new film, Under The Covers, looks like. The film is due for release on February 6. Candida is hosting a lavish launch party in New York on the 5th.

Candida Royalle – New Site, New Films
The doyenne of women’s erotica, Candida Royalle, has a new website. This explains why the old one was so neglected and now, unfortunately, it’s coming up 404.

It’s due for release on 6th February 2007. Read More …
