Lingerie: Rags to Riches (2009)
Season Finale
Yes, Episode 13 is the season finale for "Lingerie." In "Rags to Riches," star Jennifer Korbin (Lacey) and her ensemble cast continue the excellent, stimulating quality of this engaging new program. Let's hear it for a Season Two.
The key to success clearly is Jennifer Korbin. In this episode, the long-anticipated, very sexy-but-stylish fashion show caps the story line for the first season. Jennifer Korbin (Lacey) scores a triumph, of course -- I do not think this is giving too much away! -- and the viewer sees a more complete version of many of the shots that are seen in the opening titles each week.
Jennifer Korbin. Where has Cinemax been hiding her? What a great new addition to the Cinemax lineup. Happily, the conclusion of Episode 13 ends with one of the principal male characters helping Jennifer out of her black cocktail dress (she proves that she is stunning even when fully clothed) and then we are treated to Ms. Korbin in a concluding, climatic nude scene that is the episode's highlight. True, she is making it in the back of a van -- but in style, with pearls, and in a first-class vehicle. Jennifer Korbin's off-beat sense of humor serves her well here as well. "Don't you think that Jeffrey (the MC) has great lungs," her guy says. Jenn lets her top slip down and suggests, "Well, so do I." She carries off lines like that with a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor. Plus, of course, what follows is even better!
Lingerie: Runway Ready (2009)
Episode 12 is unique
Episode 12 ("Runway Ready") continues the high caliber of this terrific new series.
The banter between Lacey and Jeffrey as they prepare for the big fashion runway show is hilarious. Oh yes -- this episode opens with star Jennifer Korbin in a rare threesome scene. For Ms. Korbin, this is a first in the series. What other reason do you need to watch??
It seems to this viewer that the producer/directors of "Lingerie" have decided to feature Jennifer Korbin more in each successive episode. Let us encourage this trend. As others have noted, Jennifer ("Lacey") is not only the central character in this program. Importantly, she also is the best actor. The fact that she is stunningly beautiful is not her fault!! However, it is an added bonus to her overall splendid contribution to "Lingerie's" success.
Lingerie (2009)
Lingerie is the best thing on HBO/Cinemax right now for one reason
... and that one reason is LINGERIE's star, Jennifer Korbin. Lots of HBO/Cinemax programming for adult audiences have beautiful women and handsome men. Jennifer Korbin, however, is both beautiful and a class act. She also is funny and can act -- a combination not often seen. Whenever Ms. Korbin is in a scene, the show comes alive. The camera lens is in love with her, and why not? When Jennifer does shed her clothes, I guarantee that no man will fail to notice! Her love scene in the episode "Picture Perfect," for example, is so hot that one forgets that she is acting. I could go on -- Jennifer Korbin's erotic shower scene in "Designer Love;" the ultra sexy scene in "By Design" in which Jennifer's character (Lacey) is having dinner and winds up as the delectable desert; the bedroom sex romp in "Temptation" that will not soon be forgotten; or the tender lovemaking -- following by a truly stunning sexual ride -- before a fireplace in "Everyone's A Critic." Let us all urge HBO to give us a Season Two -- and more more of the amazing Jennifer Korbin. Her playful and humorous take on the character -- and that face -- make her the sexiest woman on TV today and the most appealing as a personality.
