LOS ANGELES — TadpoleXStudio has released two versions of “McKenzie Mae and Raven Sweet’s Gangbang.”

Each version features a unique camera angle.

“I met beautiful porn star McKenzie Mae at a recent industry-only party in September, and I couldn’t wait to work with her,” said site honcho Tad Pole. “I know porn fans will love her. It didn’t take long to set up a shoot as she and sexy Raven Sweet were signing at their agency booth during New Jersey Exxxotica, and I worked with their agency to set something up that weekend. This five-guy gangbang with these two amazing performers was super-hot. I know porn viewers will love how slutty they both were.”

Sweet enthused about the shoot.

“For my first gangbang, I could not have been more lucky with Tad Pole and his crew,” she said. “They are welcoming and kind, and really know how to make a girl feel sexy and hot. I would work with Tad Pole and his guys again at the drop of a hat.”
