How to order
Young, baseball-capped Jeremy Jordan,
who has the sexual presence of someone
you might tip well if he showed up on
your doorstep with a pizza, emigrates
from "Littletown" to San
Francisco, where he hopes to build
a better life. Back home, he worked for
priapic Frenchman Virgil Sainclair.
"My boss always made me do extra
work, if you know what I mean," he
complains in voice-over. In flashback,
we see Jordan working overtime on
his employer's state-of-the-art
equipment with the lascivious assistance
of Dominic Russo. It's the sort of
workplace opportunity some employees
would pay their bosses to gain access
to.
After the first episode, Hard
to
Hold becomes a tribute to the Nob
Hill Theatre not a place that someone
with sexual harassment issues would
necessarily gravitate toward, but one
with undeniable allure
for waifs like Jeremy. (Maybe he really
ditched his apprenticeship to Sainclair
out of eagerness for sexual
advancement.) At the Nob Hill complex,
where dancers facilitate various forms
of audience outreach, stripper
Tristan Paris romps with spectators
David Pierre and Buck Meadows, with whom
he fleetingly docks dicks. Meanwhile,
Marcus Iron, Sebastian Gronoff, and
bald-pated Addison Scott make exhaustive
use of a nearby play room.
In the best scene, dancer Travis
Wade's antics with audience members
Cameron Fox and Nick Steel draw Jordan,
who has been lurking shyly at the back
of the theater, into participation. With
the addition
of Vince Bandero, the action builds into
one of Chi Chi LaRue's blistering
trademark orgies. As a choreographer of
sex, especially group sex, LaRue has few
peers besides Kristen Bjorn, Jean-Daniel
Cadinot, and Falcon's
John Rutherford. Some of LaRue's
over-prolific efforts feel tossed off or
cranked out, but when he works, as he
does here, under the aegis of Falcon
Studios and its subsidiaries, his images
crackle and spark.
