| Pros: |
+The usual hot Euro babes such as Ariel/Piper Fawn, Chikita, Iveta B, Zuzana Zeleznovova, Katka Novotna, Samantha/Nina, Jana Mrhacova, and of course Jenni (bubblebutt!)
+Photos in two sizes: 1200 px and 3000-3500px
+Large photos are high quality and can individually be in the 1-4 MB file size range
+Zips for both sizes
+Good zip download speed at 1.8-2 Mbps
+Simple and clear design (but see the "quirks" in the cons)
+Low price if you sign up for a month. (It costs MORE per month if you sign up for 3. Weird.) |
| Cons: |
-A FIVE-FILE per week download limit that the subscriber is given NO WARNING about.
-A lot of non-exclusive material, and sometimes fewer pics than you’d find elsewhere
-Small site so far (52 photo sets and 11 videos)
-NO VIDEO DOWNLOADS. Only streaming in Flash player! And they don’t look that great.
-Updates every 2-3 days (not a major con)
-Quirk #1: upcoming photo updates are in the "photos" section, not the "updates" section
-Quirk #2: viewing from the galleries, you only get small (380x750) "enlargements" of the pics, which then can be clicked again for 666x1000px. But to get anything larger, you must download the zips. (That’s what I’d recommend. No use clicking yourself to death.)
-Quirk #3: doesn’t let you open galleries in a new window from a model’s profile page
-Quirk #4: if you DO have more than one window open of the site (doable by user sometimes), it won’t let you use the back button on that window |
| Bottom Line: |
"We have all been here before/We have all been here BEFORE ..." (Time for that old CSNY classic.)
Well, there’s having been there, and then there’s REALLY being there. Example: Chikita’s swimming pool set at TeenDreams is at 1600 px, but here you can get it at 3000px!
And once you do, you’ll be hoping that you never see it at any other site at that size. ;) And maybe you won’t! Why not be optimistic?
Well, sure, there is TeenDreams, Hungarian Honeys, MyGlamourSite, and JustTeenSite, to name some of the sites that some the photo material has appeared in. But those sites are more expensive!
Well, they DO have a lot more content, sure, but ...
Anyway, it isn’t just one photographer’s site. You see the work of such professionals as Stefan A, Michael Ancher, Bruno, Phillipo B, Christof, Iain, Roman Korovin, and Tom Veller. (Or is that Vellar? They spell it both ways.)
And there’s Chris Rugge, with the awful, "Days of Olde" murky-toned treatment of what could have been a wonderful color set of classy Michaela. She’s beautiful!
Since first posting the review, the webmaster has been in touch with me (see replies). Seeing how so many sites are doing more videos than photos these days and how some good softcore photo sites have gone away (such as Denude Art), I'm going to root for the underdog on this one.
Well, was ... Now they've imposed this five-file per week download limit which they spring on you after you've plunked down your payment. That's bad enough, but it's even worse when you get a "bad gateway" error when trying to download a zip and it gets added to your meager weekly allotment, which is what I suspect has happened to me.
They don't even tell you when a week begins and ends.
What the fuck difference does the 12.95 price make when you're going to be dicked around like this?
Don't make the mistake I did and wind up being SOL at APD.
And here's a little personal note for SteveB, the webmaster: You get a one-time-only-to-dick-me-around opportunity, and you've already gone and spent yours. That's the end of it. |
