| Pros: |
Payments processed by CCBill
Included as a free bonus site when signing up via Watch 4 Beauty along with 3 other solo sites which make up the Erotic Dreams 4 You package.
Discount links for other company sites within member’s area.
Photo’s offered in 3 sizes, small 1200px, medium 2000px and large 4992px (some 4368px)
Slideshow and zip download in each size plus a pdf file in the medium size.
Videos have 2 download options 1280x720 and 720x576 in both wmv and mov plus an ipod version.
File sizes listed for all download options |
| Cons: |
Regional pricing
Smallish site with only 46 photo sets (2804 photos) and 8 videos average run time about 3 minutes each.
As a standalone site not really worth the $14.95 price tag for such a limited amount of content
A few photo sets duplicated from W4B
No updates
No model interaction |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a site featuring stunning Czech babe Veronika Fasterova (a.k.a. Verunka, Vikki) in an archived collection of photos and videos mostly dating from 2007. The number of photo sets has actually increased by 1 since the last TBP site facts update of March 2010 and it looks like a photo set was added in November 2010 according to the date/file name on the zip but apart from that there’s been no other activity in 3-4 years here. 43 of the photo sets feature Veronika in softcore solo posing and in 3 of the sets you will see her posing with another model including a light bondage theme shoot with Lola. The videos are pretty much just films of the photo shoots. Overall high quality content of a beautiful model but it won’t take very long to see everything here so difficult to recommend joining as a standalone site but a nice little free bonus site if you have a membership at W4B. |

Victoria Divine

| Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| Pros: |
Independent billing via Epoch with no regional pricing
Gorgeous model with hot body
Exclusive content
Content date stamped.
Update’s with 1 new photo set and 1 new video each week.
Nice high resolution photos, most sets 2000 x 3008px, a few at 1463 x 2200px
Zip downloads for photos
Videos available to download and stream online
Bonus content gives access to another 13 solo model sites. |
| Cons: |
Small site, 27 photo sets (2267 images) and 21 videos to date.
Very softcore, only naked posing.
Photo zips all have the file name “pictures” so renaming required.
Video quality is poor by today’s standards.
Videos are short at around 5 minutes each.
All except 3 of the videos have the same annoying backing track.
None of the extras you might look for in a solo site to add some personality, no model info or “about me” section, no interaction in the form of a diary, blog or cam shows.
Difficult login, a partially obscured captcha where I usually have to refresh the page several times before I get one I can read.
Bonus site access not immediate. They say it can take up to an hour to set up the login for the bonus sites but after 2 hours I still couldn’t access them so sent off a support email, never got a reply but 10 minutes later tried again and the login worked |
| Bottom Line: |
I discovered Victoria Divine listed as a new site while browsing one of my favourite TGP sites a couple of weeks ago and while I’m not normally one for rushing out and spending $30 on a new site with little content the thing that most interested me about this site was the fact it gave access to a bunch of other solo sites including Molly’s Bedroom and Lana’s Fantasies that have been on my “to join” list for a long time. As Molly’s Bedroom bills via CCBill with regional pricing for me the fact I could sign up to Victoria Divine via Epoch meant I was getting an extra site for less money so nothing to lose as far as I was concerned.
According to the site tour Victoria is a 19 year old former fashion model who is venturing in to nude modelling for the first time to help pay her tuition fees, Yeah right! Once inside the members area there is no further information telling you who she is or where she’s from. Once I started browsing her photo sets I got the feeling that she looked familiar so ended up doing some digging around to try and discover where I had seen her before. It turns out she is a Ukrainian model known as Vika R at Met-Art with photo sets on there dating as far back as 2004 so I guess that throws the 19 year old theory out the window. In fact comparing how she looks in those old Met-Art sets compared to these so called recent updates here just makes me wonder how recent the content actually is on this alleged new site.
Another thing that makes me wonder how recent the content actually is at this site is the video quality as it’s certainly not up to the standard you usually see in 2012, it’s not even in wide screen let alone hd. The download options are 720 x 576 wmv or 480 x 360 mp4. The bitrates for both are around 1600kbps. The videos are also quite amateurish, poor lighting, jerky camerawork at times and poor editing. The action is all fairly tame; you get to see Victoria naked but nothing more than that. In one video you get to watch her sat on a sofa fully clothed reading a magazine for 5 minutes, she does get up and walk to the kitchen half way through to pour a coffee and you get a nice view of her ass in a tight pair of jeans. In another video you get to watch her stand in front of a mirror topless brushing her hair for 5 minutes. In some other videos you can watch her rolling around on a bed playing with some stuffed toys and taking a shower and a bath and that’s about as exciting as the action gets. Oh and the same annoying sound track accompanies almost all the videos; if you’re planning a membership here better search youtube first for Magnus Kollberg–My Name is Courtney to make sure you could stand listening to that track 18 times.
This is the list of bonus sites you get with Victoria Divine: Lana’s Fantasies, Molly’s Bedroom, Busty Alli, Fun With Amber, Little Danni, Debbie Teen, Kimmy Teen, Abigail 18, Lovely Anne, Lovely Irene, Lovely Tera, Erica’s Fantasies and Jenny Reid. A separate login is required for the bonus sites but once logged in to one of them they are all available from a single user interface. It takes less than 3 hours to download and watch everything at Victoria Divine so it’s mainly the large amount of bonus content that keeps me from scoring it less than 70. |

To date any site which has tried to charge me more for being British or European has not recieved my business, trouble is more and more seem to be jumping on that band wagon. It's bad enough as it is with the low exchange rate. Couple of years ago when it was two dollars to the pound i didn't think twice about joining a $30 site...now i try to keep it under $20 if i can or look for the special offers.

I remember last year when I was trying to sign up to a half price ofer I had terrible trouble trying to find it. Clicking on the join link kept taking me to the join page showing the full prices. It was only after some time that I figured out you had to click a banner on that sign up page that took you to another sign up page with the reduced price. Their webmaster is usually quite prompt at responding to comments here in PU so i'm surprised he hasn't replied to yours yet.

Great review rearadmiral. I agree with you that this site appeals most to those who have a liking for soft erotic lesbian porn and there's probably not many better sites in that niche however it wasn't really my thing either. The thing that surprises me is that TBP don't even list lesbian as a secondary niche for this site so maybe they should consider recategorising as lesbian porn has certainly become rhe dominant feature here. Anybody searching for a good lesbian site on TBP could easily miss this one.

Thanks for the feedback rearadmiral and glad to hear you're enjoying the site. I just hope my review didn't sound too negative because it truely is a great site but for me personally after spending a month at Young Legal Porn discovering some hot new talent like Gloria and Stasha and then coming back here it just felt a little dated and stale with the bulk of the content being of a group of models who seem to have been around forever. Take the current babe of the month Suzie Carina for example, there was a time when i was excited to find new content of a hot fresh young teen named Suzie Carina but i'm sure that must have been like 9 or 10 years ago. But anyway that's just my personal take on the site which is what PU is all about and i'm sure there are plenty of people who can't get enough of those top Euro models who would score the site in the 90s.

| Pros: |
TBP/PU discount offered
Independent payment processor, easy cancellation
Huge archive with over 10 years of updates online, 622 models, 1400+ videos and 157,000+ photos
Good variety of solo, lesbian and hardcore
Updated daily 7 days a week, usually photo set one day and video the next.
Most recent photo sets (since November 2009) can be browsed in 2 sizes, 533 x 800px and 1600 x 2400px. Older sets have 4 size options maxing at 1280px.
Zip downloads available but only in the largest size.
Choice of download options for the videos usually 640x360 wmv and mp4 plus an hd 1280x720 mp4 for the latest updates. Streaming also available
File sizes and run times displayed for videos
Good download speeds |
| Cons: |
Regional pricing
Some non exclusive content
Recent video updates don’t always come with an HD option
Site design/navigation seems rather basic for such a large site with limited search capabilities.
Small thumbnail previews in photo galleries
No zip downloads for the smaller photo size might be a con for some (if anyone still uses a dial up connection and 12 inch CRT monitor)
Models virtually all white Caucasian with no ethnic diversity.
Many models don’t have any background info |
| Bottom Line: |
I got tempted back here for my first visit in over 5 years due to a recent half price special offer. As a fan of solo glamour photo content I found this a great site back in 2006 with the photo quality as good as or better than most other sites around at that time but today however I do feel the quality is lagging a little behind other similar sites. It wasn’t until the latter end of 2009 that the photos finally got an upgrade in size to 2400 pixel resolution and whilst these photos look good it’s still below what many other sites are offering these days.
The navigation is fairly basic here with the usual options to browse the content by updates calendar, photos, videos or an A-Z model index. You then have further categories such as lesbian, boy-girl, solo girl, busty big tits, leg sex etc and then each photo set or video comes with a further range of clickable tags to help you find other similar type content. One thing that does stand out here is the huge amount of lesbian content, in fact the lesbian category under videos is much bigger than any of the other categories.
Within the collection of over 600 models here you will find many of the big name Euro models, names like Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Sophie Moone, Sandy, Peaches and Jo and they all have an absolute shed load of content here. Whilst I’ve loved all these models and always collected their photo sets they’ve been around virtually ever since I first got the internet nearly 10 years ago so for me I’m afraid a boredom factor started creeping in as I worked my way through the collection. I found myself waiting for some hot new fresh young faces to come along and excite me but for me it never really happened.
The video collection here has come a long way since my last subscription and now includes over 250 videos in HD quality. A new video is added every other day and these are usually full length scenes between 20-30 minutes long. This guy has been making porn movies for years and certainly knows what he’s doing, camera work, lighting and everything are all top notch. Watching some of the movies here kind of reminded me of how porn used to be before the internet came along where you actually have a bit of a story line and see the models attempting to do a bit of acting before they get down to action. I also found the movies to be a lot more erotic and passionate than much of the gonzo style porn around these days.
Overall a fine site and well worth a month’s subscription Fans of lesbian erotica will surely love it here as will those who enjoy seeing the models dressed up in stockings and high heels. In the glamour niche personally I prefer the style and creativity of Holly Randall and the selection of fresh young models and ethnic diversity at Digital Desire. As I primarily joined here for the photos the fact around 80-90% of what I downloaded had a maximum resolution of 1280px was also somewhat disappointing. |

Oh it's not a problem as i signed up last weekend during the rugby offer but i had the same sort of hassle as you trying to get the offer price to display. I was just trying to figure out if it was a cookie problem which seems to be the case. I'm surprised you get priced in euros from Canada though. For me the offer price was in British pounds, Ł9.95 (around $16 USD) instead of the usual Ł19.95, as you say slightly more than the dollar price displayed on TBP/PU but still an offer.

There's certainly something weird going on here. I visited the site from my saved bookmark earlier and got the half price join offer up no problem, now since i visited the site using the PU link all i get up is the TBP/PU price. I tried clearing my cache and cookies and then typed vivthomas directly into the browser but still i'm getting the TBP/PU price come up even without linking from here. I had the same problem with the world cup offer, i was trying for ages to find the special offer price on my laptop without success then later on i visited the site from an old bookmark on my pc and got the offer price up straight away.

I guess it is possible it's either only for Europeans or even only for former members if you're not seeing it on the website. I just clicked on the link in the email and it still took me ages to figure out where to find the discount price. For me it goes to VXS billing charged in British Pounds so don't know whether it would be the same for you over there.

I suspect given jjrabbit's stated location in Netherlands he would be subject to the non US regional pricing rip off. Even using the PU discount link I would get charged ÂŁ29.95 (GBP) to join this site equivilent of almost $37 (USD) at today's exchange rate. I'm afraid it's been a long time since I've been willing to pay that sort of price for any site. I'll rarely pay more than $10-15 these days.

Download limits suck especially when sites don't declare them before you signed up. Last Sunday I signed up to a site as a result of an email promo offering a Black Friday/Cyber Monday half price deal and within 10 minutes of logging in I had hit a download limit after downloading only 11 photo zips despite the sign up page advertising "unrestricted downloads".

That's probably the issue then if you're using an older computer, it's probably struggling with the higher bit rate videos. I found the bit rates varied quite widely on the 1080p videos at W4B from around 8k to 13k. I remember when 720p hd was a relatively new thing back around 2006 or 2007 my old computer used to crash every time I tried to play one.

When you say about playing back the videos are you referring to streaming them online within the website or playing them back on your computer or device after downloading them? I don't have a great deal of technical knowledge regarding these things but this is just an observation from when I had a membership at W4B a couple of months ago. I noticed that the videos here had a much higher frame rate and bit rate than most other websites I've had memberships at, the frame rate was 59 f/s and the bit rate on some hd videos as high as 13k which made for some very large file sizes. Most other sites I've had memberships at the videos usually have a frame rate of around 25 to 30 f/s. I really have no idea if the higher frame rate makes much difference but my observation was that their videos were some of the sharpest crystal clear videos I've ever seen or downloaded. I personally had no problems with the playback of their videos either online or offline but I guess it's possible someone with a slower internet connection could struggle to stream their hd videos due to the higher frame rate and bit rate.

| Pros: |
Choice of billers CCBill or Paypal through Epoch (depending whose referral link you use).
Site online since 2005.
High quality exclusive photo and video content.
Photo resolution up to 5792 x 8688 with zip downloads.
4k and 1080p video downloads.
Site updates on average 4 days a week.
Lots of stunning outdoors shoots in spectacular locations.
Many rarely seen Latina models from South America.
Excellent download speeds getting 6 MB/s pretty much my max.
No problem using my D/L manager (DTA). |
| Cons: |
No longer a PU discount ($9.99 deals can be found if you know where to look).
The old “Erotic Dreams 4 You” bonus sites no longer available.
No small or medium collectable sized photo zips and no video downloads below 1080p on newest content so you'll need a lot of storage space if you want to download a lot.
Poor file naming of zip and video downloads with date only. Why not include the model name and title of set as they do at MetArt?
Earliest videos low resolution at 600 x 480 as expected for 2005.
Many models don't get past a single casting shoot.
Truly awful site design and navigation particularly for users of desktop pcs or laptops, there's probably not enough characters here to list all my complaints so will explain more in the bottom line.
My initial joy at finding a link to the old legacy site was short lived when I couldn't access it, “your connection is not secure. The owner of old.watch4beauty.com has configured their website improperly”. Tried 3 different browsers. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is my first time back at W4B since I last reviewed it in late 2011 and the content continues to go from strength to strength having more than doubled in size since my last visit. The site stats as of today are 540 models, 2322 galleries, 548 films and 534 stories. Many of the galleries come with a corresponding behind the scenes type video so in actual fact there are a great deal more videos than the 548 listed on the separate films page but there's no easy way to count them due to the site layout. The stories are often magazine or blog type pictorial shoots often with videos featuring extras such as backstage pictures, selfies, compilations and travel/location pictures.
Whilst W4B features many of my current favourite MetArt models such as Mila Azul, Li Moon, Emily Bloom, Nika and Little Caprice,what really stands out for me is the wonderful collection of South American latina models they have here from Colombia and Venezuela, most of whom I have never seen before. Check out the likes of Denise Gomez, Irene Rouse, Abril, Karin Torres, Agatha Vega and Mily Mendoza. In the last week alone they have brought us another two young new talents from Colombia named Yeye and Paolina.
The content itself has a harder edge than similar sites like MetArt and Femjoy. Many of the sets feature masturbation, toy use including some with anal insertions, peeing and some lesbian action. There's a wide variety of locations from studio shoots with a plain back drop to spectacular outdoors locations. The public nudity shoots around Prague also look good fun as well.
And now for the bad news. What's the point of all this amazing content if you are going to present it in a truly awful website that is very difficult to navigate and find what you want. It basically seems as though the people at W4B have stuck two fingers up at PC and Laptop users. In a recent PU poll 82% of respondents claimed they use a home or work PC or laptop for browsing porn, go figure! You log into the members area and your navigational options are discover or models. Discover lists all updates on a single page, galleries, films, stories. That's over 3000 updates of endless scrolling with no way to search or sort them. There's no updates calender so if you've had a previous membership good luck trying to figure out what is new since you last joined. The models page is the same, 540 models listed in no particular order on one endless scrolling page. No way to search or sort them by most recent or oldest and no alphabetical A-Z listing. There's no advanced model search like the one at MetArt allowing you to search by criteria such as age, nationality, breast size, hair colour etc.
Next to “discover” and “models” you have a search icon. This is very basic with just a text box allowing you to search a model by name. This is all well and good if the model at W4B has the same name you know her by. If I search for one of my favourite models who is named Mia Sollis on most websites I will get no result because she is named Lynette at W4B. Apart from that on the search page they list their most popular tags, casting, masturbation, peeing, latina, girls, outdoor, and lesbian. Why not make all the tags available on the search page?
As a photo collector my biggest complaint here is the lack of a collectable sized resolution of the photo sets. I prefer to collect my photo sets in the 2-3000 px size range as the perfect compromise between quality and file size. The zip files of these almost 9000 px photo sets were often several hundred MBs to over 1 GB in size. If you don't collect full sets and just want to view the full size photos online or download selected individual photos again that's a very cumbersome chore. You click on a thumbnail and a photo opens in a new window sized to your screen size, no way to enlarge it to the full size and you can't “right click save as” on it. There's a download icon in the top right so click on that and the photo opens in another window again your screen size but this time you can enlarge it and save it. There's no back or forward arrows to navigate to other photos and no slideshow option so you have to repeat the process for any photo you might want to save.
Although I don't collect videos I have to admit the video quality here is some of the best I've ever seen. The 1080p ones I downloaded had bitrates ranging from 5k to 13k and a frame rate of 59 f/s. Like the photo sets this made for some large file sizes with one video I downloaded for example just over 10 minutes long being just over 1GB and the 4k version just over 2 GB.
If I was scoring this site on content alone it would be up there with the best in the 90s but the crappy site design really ruins the user experience for this desktop user so I'll stick with the 86 I scored it back in 2011. |

It really depends what you're interested in, if you like solo model content with a preference leaning more towards photography than movies as I do then it's probably amongst the top ten sites on the internet. As for the holiday sale, well I think you can get a membership for that price all year round using the discounted link provided here at Pornusers.

An excellent review as always otoh, I'm always interested to read your take on sites I've already been a member of, I think on this one our views are not far apart. Much as I hate regional pricing I would agree with you in that when i'm getting a site for half price like this I'm prepared to overlook an extra couple of dollars, it's when those $30 sites become $35 with regional pricing that they become too expensive for me.

Looks like it does Cap'n. The $14.95 special offer link from PU/TBP comes up at $17.24 here in the UK so looks like there's a regional supplement still.
