REVIEW = 68 by Jeffrey99 (27)

Pros:
+Carmen is very hot
+Images are decent quality (792x1200)
+Super HD videos are decent quality (1280x720 @5000 kbps)

Cons:
-So called regular HD videos are fine if there isn't a "Super HD" option available. For some reason if there's both a Super HD and HD option, the HD version is 16x9 that's been zoomed out and made 4:3. So even on a widescreen monitor it's only 4:3 with huge black bars at top and bottom. Why they done that, I have no freaking clue.
-Site is pretty much dead. Pictures haven't been updated in over a year (March 5th 08) and the videos haven't been updated in 6 months (10-22-08). The only thing updated in 09 has been webcam archive.
-Expects you to pay another $18 to get two seperate video zip sets. Not sure if that's for both or only one. I have no interest in that BS.

Bottom Line:
CravingCarmen is another site that could be soo much better then what it is but the people behind it appear to be more interested in just raking in money then actually putting out a quality side.

The site appears to have turned into nothing more then a ad for SpunkyCams.com. A webcam site that charges you anywhere from $3-12. For how long or for what, I have no clue. I'm not into webcams. Quality is always horrible.

The photos and the so called Super HD videos are good quality as mentioned in the Pros. As mentioned earlier, if there is both a Super HD and a HD option, the HD option is 16x9 zoomed out to 4:3. So even on a 16:9 screen, it'll actually be 4:3 with the black bars on top, bottom and sides. If there is no Super HD option, then the HD videos are actually widescreen, 1280x720 @ 5000kbps.

Her earlier sets are non-nude. She has roughly 76 movies on her site and 36 are non-nude. So just under half. Her older videos are available in mpg format. Unfortunately right clicking and properties doesn't show me any info on what quality it is, however it looks comparable to VHS tapes.

She also has archived webcam shows, which is the only thing that's been updated in 09. Those are available in 320x240 @ 447kbps. So not any quality worth keeping.

The site also try's to sell you other zipset galleries, one is a webcam video with her and Ashley and the other is a HD video of her, for $18. Not sure if that's for both or only for one but trying to charge me additional for extra content for a site that's non-updating doesn't settle well with me.

The site could easily be summed up just by looking at her journal, which hasn't been updated since 2007. This site is evidently of no priority to Carmen or Spunky Productions. The fact that they still charge $24 is ridiculous.

Carmen is hot but her site is a sure fire miss. It's nothing more then a one month hit and run at best. And that's as long as you go into it knowing that you are pretty much spending $24 for what could be a months worth of update content for other sites.

REVIEW = 80 by troglodite (69)

Pros:
* Video Quality - Things look really nice here if you go with the highest resolution vids.

* Vids are offered in multiple bitrates so you can download a lower bitrate version if you have a slow connection or don't care for the highest resolution.

* Carmen - She's definitely a hottie, and you get to get to see all of her. There are a couple of amateur-looking BJ vids on the site, but most of the fare here is solo or girl-girl.

* Camshows - Several archived solo shows to d/l

Cons:
* A couple of the vids are split into episodes, which (gasp!) are split among 2 sites. One girl-girl scene is actually split into I think 7 parts, with 4 on Carmen's site, and the rest on Barbie's. I hate upsells.

* Non-nude vids - There are 64 vids here, but several of them are multi-part, and her older stuff is non-nude (about half).

* Picsets are not easy to navigate and as usual, no zipset options. I didn't bother due to inconvenience.

* No vid updates in a long time.

Bottom Line:
It's hard to give this site too high of a rating. nabbed a membership way back when the site first started over a year ago and saw enough promise that it made me want to come back again. Unfortunately, she was on episode 62 when my membership ended the first time and is on episode 64 now. The number of camshows hasn't grown significantly either, and she really touts her camshows as a big reason to join her site on the tour.

I know a lot of people prefer picsets too, and hers will prove frustrating with no good download options. The thumbnails span multiple pages (sometimes 10-15) and each one must be nabbed individually.

All that said, despite the site's shortcomings, Carmen is still super hot, and a lot of her personality does show in her videos and archived camshows. She seems to have a lot of fun in her shoots, and that's refreshing when you compare her to some models who seem disinterested or bored. Her girl-girl scenes with Barbie are extremely hot, and it's a shame you'd have to purchase a membership to Barbie's site in order to see the whole things - I'm sure some people will, but Barbie's look just doesn't do it for me...sorry :(

With the lack of updates, I'm gonna have to suggest that this is a one-time one-month membership at best. As it stands, there's not much reason to join again.
