Gabriella Fox: More than a typical whore

It is difficult for me to tell Digital Playground performers apart. Aside from Stoya and Jesse Jane, sometimes I think Shay Jordan is just trying on different wigs and calling herself someone else. I would also not put it past Jesse Jane to employ clever disguises.

So I was eager to get a gander at Gabriella Fox, appearing in Control 9 and Tickle Me Pink’s video for its song “Typical.”

In the video, Fox spends much of her time crawling toward us under the world’s biggest sheet. The lyrics say “You’re not any more than a typical whore.”

Oddly enough, that was my high school’s motto. None of us knew Latin well enough to translate it, so the joke was on us.

Know that Digital Playground handles a difficult situation – the confusability of porn performers – better than anyone. Consider that a recent Gallup Poll revealed that 4 out of 5 dentists answered “Probably” when asked if [insert name] was a Vivid Girl, and expressed indignance that Wicked contract performer Kirsten Price insisted that her name wasn’t actually “Kristen.”

But one way to make Fox stand out is the creative use of perspective. In Control 9, director Robby D. frames Fox (and performers like Eva Angelina, Lacey Maguire, and Memphis Monroe) in novel ways.

For example, here’s Eva Angelina embroiled in the physical act of love. But her face says, “Shit. I lost my keys.”

Here, her face is much smaller than her buttocks, as if her face were a minuscule mountain climber and her ass the world’s juiciest alp.

Ditto Lacey Maguire. Tiny head!

Everybody likes Tommy Gunn, but this shot is not necessarily the first one porn consumers would choose. Here he appears talking to parts of Memphis Monroe.

Monroe herself doesn’t understand it, either.

Fox returns at the end of the movie. Maybe she appears so frustrated because that is a tremendously uncomfortable position. (Either that, or she’s Shay Jordan in a wig.)

I want Gabriella Fox to succeed, no matter what size her head is.
