Pros:

82 Gorgeous models
100% Exclusive content
Updates with a new photo set or video every other day
High resolution 2300 x 3500 photos
Zip downloads for all photo sets
Videos available in a choice of HD and Low resolution wmv
All content date stamped
Billing by CCBill with no regional pricing

Cons:

Very softcore, mostly topless and some mild nudity
These hi res photos don’t look as sharp as you would expect when blown up to full size, too many look out of focus, blurred or grainy as previous reviewers have mentioned with little sign of any improvement in recent updates.
Every zip download has the file name “photo_zip” so you need to rename everything yourself.
File names of the videos are just a date so will also need renaming if you want to know who is in the video when you come to view it.
No file sizes given.
Around half the videos don’t have download options.
The older videos without the HD option look grainy on full screen.
Only one photo size, no small or medium options.
Primitive site design and navigation
No search tools.

Bottom Line:

I received a $9.95 email promo offer to this site and after checking out the tour and spotting some of my favourite Only Tease models here like Hayley Marie and Lucy Anne I couldn’t resist signing up for a month to check it out at that price. St Mackenzie’s describes themselves as the most unruly institute of learning in England where it’s sexy students and equally sexy teachers get up to all sorts of mischievous antics. Only problem is they never really get as naughty as you might have expected or hoped for. This is only really a very softcore teasing site about the same strength as Only Tease where you will see the girls posing in their sexy uniforms, stockings and lingerie before stripping and posing topless or nude. A small minority of the models have some open leg shots but most will only give you the occasional glimpse of pussy. There’s no masturbation or toy play and even though there are lots of sets and videos featuring two, three or more girls there’s no real sexual contact between the models other than removing clothes and occasional touching.

St Mackenzie’s has been online since January 2009 and with consistent updates has grown into a reasonable sized collection already. A new update is added every other day and a typical month’s updates consist of 9 new photo sets and 6 new videos. As of today the site has a total of 382 photo sets (35,304 images) and 222 videos. A word of warning: only 107 of the videos come with download options, the rest can only be viewed online.

The navigation is fairly basic with not many options. You can browse “updates” which lists all the content by year and month starting with the most recent or via the model index which is split in to two parts, “pupils” and “teachers”. The only problem with browsing via the “updates” section is that the videos there have no download links. Going into the pupils and teachers listings on each model’s page you will find her 5 most recent updates listed with a scene description and links to download the picture zip and video download options. Videos and picture sets beyond the 5 most recent are listed below under “more updates”. Click on the picture sets here and they will open in a new window with the zip download link. Click on the videos here and Windows Media Player will open and after a few seconds buffering will stream the video online. They don’t provide any download links for videos beyond those that appear within any model’s 5 most recent updates. You can pretty much see the site layout for yourself prior to joining as the tour has the same site layout as the member’s area with the exception of the download links.

The videos that can be downloaded usually have two options, a HD 1280 x 720 wmv @ 8000 kbps and low res 640 x 480 wmv @ 900+ kbps. A few of the older videos only have the low res option. The videos are usually around 5 minutes long and usually consist of the model’s posing and teasing in their uniforms with some upskirt views and panty flashing before removing their clothes. It’s another one of those sites with mostly silent movies, there’s no background music and the model’s seldom talk, at least not in any of the one’s I’ve watched so far.

As for the photos which is my preferred niche, they look fine when viewing them downsized to monitor size in a slide show but when opening them up and viewing them in their full size resolution you can certainly see some flaws as I mentioned in the cons above. I get the impression this is the work of the same photographer from Breath Takers. The photo shoots are pretty much all taken inside the same house recognisable from Breath Takers and the style of photography is pretty much the same where in most of the shoots the models are stood in front of or close to a window making use of the natural light as it penetrates the window.

Overall I did enjoy the collection of gorgeous British models and their sexy outfits in spite of the site’s flaws and it was certainly helped by the fact I only paid $10 to join so the site just about scrapes a probably over generous 80 from me. It’s an ok site if you have a fetish for girls teasing in uniforms, mini-skirts, stockings, tights with plenty of upskirts and panty flashing but if you require explicit nudity or sexual action then probably best to avoid this site.

1	otoh (50)	Thanks for a great review, tangub - I had noticed this site a couple of times and wondered what it was like. I think you are right in that it is the same photographer as Breath Takers - Michael White (who also features in Met Art and Body In Mind, among others). I actually really like the style; the colours are natural, there is a good mix of models and usually some context which really works for me. In this case it's good to know that it's on a par with Only Tease as to explicitness; I'd find this frustrating, and the schoolgirl theme doesn't really work for me either. At least though the theme justifies a separate site; I'm still baffled as to why Breath Takers, Girlfolio and Take5 Girls (back again) all run with overlaps in content...	10-04-12 07:03am Reply To Message
2	Cybertoad (92)	looks like a nice site , great review, maybe tad to soft-core but cool non the less.	10-04-12 07:48am Reply To Message
3	Capn (28)	So what percentage of material ends with full nudity, please? Cap'n :0/	10-04-12 04:07pm Reply To Message
4	tangub (151)	REPLY TO #1 - otoh : Oh yes Michael White, that's the guy, I'd forgotten his name. I remember viewing his work at Met Art and thinking "Breath Takers" His work seems to be quite easily identifiable from the location and style, nearly always shot inside that same house. The schoolgirl theme does get a bit repetitive although 27 of the models are teachers and don't wear the uniform I think its safe to assume around two thirds of the sets contain girls in those uniforms. I was a little baffled when I saw Take 5 Girls in the new site listings at TBP the other day. What happened there, did they close down then relaunch again? I will probably get around to joining that and Girlfolio one day as I do like this guy's work. I'm also quite smitten with one of the models he shoots, Hayley Marie, and wondering if he does the shoots on her solo site Hayley's Secrets. A $10 promo would certainly help rush those sites to the top of my list (hint, hint).	10-05-12 02:10am Reply To Message
5	tangub (151)	REPLY TO #2 - Cybertoad : Thanks CT, yes very softcore. I can only recall maybe 5 or 6 models having open leg shots.	10-05-12 02:12am Reply To Message
6	tangub (151)	REPLY TO #3 - Capn : Well it depends on your definition of full nudity which in your case I think is everything being removed then it's probably very low, maybe less than 5%. The shoes, socks or stockings very often don't get removed, some models keep their panties on.	10-05-12 02:17am Reply To Message
7	Capn (28)	REPLY TO #6 - tangub : I suspected as much. Thanks for the confirmation. Cap'n. :0)	10-05-12 06:12am Reply To Message
