+ Great $10, 7 day full access trial through TBP

+ Top quality models for the most part |
| Cons: |
- Updates only every other day
- Videos are in short clips only
- You've probably already seen the older content
- Pics max out at 1280 pixels
- Limited model info |
| Bottom Line: |
Vivthomas is a top notch photographer who's stuff you've probably already seen on sites like Teendreams, ATKgalleria, and others. His focus on Euro glam porn. This is my second time joining and I only hopped on for the trial.
For those interested in vids, forget this site and consider Vivthomasvideo. All you get are short clips and access to some streaming vids. I didn't really mess around with this but I note that the clips played at 640x480 in wmv. Most of this stuff is only a few minutes long.
The pics are the real reason to go here. He does a very professional job in terms of production value and overall quality. Very few blurry shots or bad lighting. He also uses a variety of sets so it's not overly reptitive. Most sets have fewer than 100 pics which I tend to like since you don't get 10 shots of the same thing. There is a small watermark in the cornor of the pics.
The hardcore was good but it doesn't update that often. Viv is probably at his best when shooting solo models. He does a good job of shooting lingerie and seems to bring out some sexiness in the models which a lot of sites seem to lack. There's 17 categories to choose from and you get about 650 models and there's about 165k pics. Some models have bios and bits about them but most don't have anything. The model directory appears to be complete and accurate.
There is also a forum which has a fair amount of activity and you can buy his dvds from the site too.
I'm only scoring this site an 82 because so much of his older content is leased out that I've seen most of it before. The new stuff is exclusive but it too will eventually start cropping up elsewhere. I certainly had no problem getting what I wanted during the trial period and if you've been around porn for a while you shouldn't have any problem getting by on a trial either.
I'm also scoring the site an 82 because of the lack of video content. Granted, he has a video site which costs more but I think I'd rather see him merge the two sites together and charge a bit more to get all the content.
My last reason for the score is that his photos sometimes appear in larger sizes on other sites. I just joined Teendreams and their Vivthomas pics are much larger. You get a little graininess but it's minimal. So all I have to say is "Viv, grow 'em bigger!".
So, if you like pics, like hot euro babes and want a cheap distraction, then I suggest checking it out. |

| Pros: |
- Without question, the finest collection of models
- Content wants to be exclusive, but the older sets are widely available, I assume those were originally owned by Viv, but he licensed out the older sets
- Pictures come in zips
- Navigation is very easy to use
- Download speeds are not really a huge part here, since it is mostly average resolution pictures
- Good enough price at $19.95
- Viv's experience and professionalism as a photographer/producer really shows |
| Cons: |
- Well to start with, if you're coming here for videos, don't. The videos here are trailers, some interviews, though I will say that some of the trailers are 3-5 minutes and are pretty good.
- The picture quality can be frustrating. The biggest pictures available on the site are 1280 high end
- Zip file pictures are only 1024 high end |
| Bottom Line: |
I will start by saying that Viv Thomas' work is my favorite on the internet. His taste in models, the way he photographs them, the fetishes he touches upon are the same as mine.
This site to me is the best site for pictures only. I know the resolution isn't up there with Met-Art, but I much prefer Viv's models and the style of his sets. The girls almost always start out dressed in the picture sets. Pantyhose is usually involved if they have a skirt on. I guess what I'm trying to say is he likes the girls to look classy before getting dirty.
Unlike most sites though that the models are all dressed up on to start a set, they do get dirty here.
One of the best parts about this site is the constant flow of new material involving the top tier Euro models. The settings range from a tropical mansion, which I'm guessing is the Viv mansion, to in the bedroom.
There is an active forum on the site that the models do stop by on. Viv is fairly active on it as well and talks very candidly in his posts.
All of your favorite Euro models are here, except one for me and that is Aneta Keys. Besides that one, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Sophie Moone, even Sandy from Club Sandy, Nella, and by now you are getting my drift. Wish the resolution was higher, but I have been looking over it for 6 months. So, it isn't too big of a hindrance for me.
Viv is the Hugh Hefner of Euro porn and for any fan of legs, butts, pantyhose, beautiful faces and settings, I highly recommend it! |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
