Content date stamped.

Cons:
Regional pricing
Site no longer updating
Maybe too softcore and arty for some tastes
Navigation is fairly basic.
Not a huge amount of videos
The model appears to no longer have any interaction in the site.

Bottom Line:
This is the solo site of the cute Czech Redhead Ariel who has previously had sites under the names of Piper Fawn and Faith Lightspeed but it was at sites like Teendreams, Teenrotica and Twistys where she grabbed my attention and has become one of my favourite models in recent years so when I noticed the price of this site had been reduced by 10 bucks I couldn�t resist signing up especially with the added incentive of gaining discounts to the company�s other sites. The earliest content on the site dates from September 2007 when Ariel would have been 23 and with regular updates over the years has built up into a fair sized collection for a solo site although weighted heavily in favour of photos which suits me fine. Currently there are 415 photo sets and 41 videos and this seems unlikely to grow as there have been no new updates since April 11 of this year.

The navigation is fairly basic with the content just being split up into 4 categories, nude art, back stage, real life and friends galleries. You just have to go through each category in date order, 8 updates per page, and continually click next to go to the next 8 updates and so on, there�s no way to search for only photos or videos. The main focus of interest for me was the nude art section which is where you will find her professional photo shoots. You�ll find a good variety of locations ranging from studio shoots to stunning outdoor settings. There were probably too many boring plain nude shoots and not enough of clothing and lingerie for my liking but overall I quite enjoyed the high quality pictures. The content is also very tame and doesn�t go beyond nude posing, in fact there were very few shoots that I would consider sexually arousing, you certainly won�t come across any masturbation or toy use here. To be honest I�ve found the content I�ve collected of Ariel from almost every other site where I�ve seen her hotter and more exciting than anything I saw here. If you like to delve into the day to day life of the model then there�s plenty of that kind of stuff here too in the real life category where you can follow Ariel on vacation or on nights out partying as well as a load of behind the scenes back stage features all of which don�t really interest me.

I don�t see any signs that Ariel is still involved with the site, no interaction like a diary, blog or cam shows and there has been no activity in the forum since December 2010 so in summary all you have here is an archived collection of photos and videos no longer being updated. Probably worth a month at the current price if you�re a fan of the model and don�t mind the extreme softcore nature of the content.

REVIEW = 82 by Drooler (218)

Pros:
+Ariel (aka Piper Fawn): A fully blossomed, all-natural 24-year-old woman with girlish, sometimes mischievous charms. She looks closer to 19.
+Clean, clear, straightfoward site design
+Login right on the home page (no clicking for it)
+Exclusive content, even within the Watch4Beauty collection of sites
+Total of 87 �nude art� photosets so far (back to late Sept. 2007)
+�Backstage� photosets (17 so far) might provide some additions to some �nude art� ones
+17 �real life� photosets (but not that interesting unless you and she have friends in common, IMHO)
+Photos in 3 sizes (1200�s, 2000�s, and large at least in 3872px)
+Zips in all three sizes
+Videos in iPod (640x480); QT and WMV 720x576
+Updates continue (unlike every other single-model Watch4Beauty site)
+Users can rate photosets and videos
+Active fans� forum
+Members get discount rates to other W4B sites (�links� page)

Cons:
-Some photosets emphasize the �art� at the expense of enjoyable nudity
-Blurriness, darkness, graininess, strange skin coloring (especially red) in some of the photosets
-A small number of black & white photosets
-Watermark on photos can be annoying
-Not many videos. 8 in �nude� art and 6 each in �backstage� and �real life�
-Some videos may bore (Ariel looking into space) or frustrate with all of the cutting and splicing
-Videos usually under 5 min. (may be a pro for some)
-Somewhat irregular photo or video updates, but 3 per week on average for all types
-�Search� box shows only on the home page; good only for searching titles of updates
-Server rather slow (rarely > 400kbps; 20mbps connection)

Bottom Line:
Ariel has a face that can project many nuances of mood with her eyes and mouth. She can look right into the camera and �connect� with a grin, an arched eyebrow, a startled stare, etc. She is one-of-a-kind and yet she possesses a chameleon-like versatility. This really shows when a good makeup artist or hairdresser is involved.

One video that drives this home is �Valentine day� (Feb. 14, 2008). You really get the feeling that you�re right there with her as she caresses herself and looks straight into the camera.

It�s too bad that it was an exception. The same goes for photosets with her looking away, looking down, keeping her eyes closed. In other words, the �spark� that she can create would have ignited more often had those on the production end of things been more conscious of capturing it.

But there were some nice photosets here, for sure. Some of the real standouts include �Desert Rose,� �Green Tea,� �I Like My Bed,� �Wood Nymph,� and especially �My Lamp� and �Palm.�

I also thought the video "Wanted for beauty" was good as unique video art.

The fans forum is also rather interesting. Ariel�s native language is Czech, so of course don�t expect her to know English as if she were born and raised on it. What she says about her standards as a model I found impressive (e.g., avoid doing what you�ve seen 100 times already) and the way she handles jerks (enough of those) was, too. The lady just doesn�t waste her time with other people�s crap.

Bottom-bottom line: This site�s worth a join for Ariel fans.
