Should have known you would like the old part, but I had no idea you liked that old! I would have recommended it months ago. I see 40s as older. I'm sure as I age that will increase in number. Even now, I very much like the models that are in their 40s going towards 50. I always thought I was a little perverted for that!
Sophie for me is one of the top 5 all-time, she had that same grace that older models have. Which probably explains why I like the models in their 40s, classy, graceful. Hard to believe that Sophie is almost 30. I don't think she ever aged. I can definitely see our differences. I've been a member of Twistys all but 2 months this year. And still love it.
I'll watch for any other sites similar to Lusty Grandmas and let you know if I find any. I'm sure that 30 years from now when Eve Angel is nearing 60 that I'll still be joining her sites!
Last, I think 21st Sextury, is really trying harder to improve their sites, better quality, better navigation and it really does show on those newer sites they have. I can remember when they only had 4 sites, Pix and Video, Zoliboy, Club Sandy and Sweet Sophie Moone. The bonus sites first started out as 10 generic DVD sites that had nothing but DVD rips on them. They've improved that too with the new added niche sites. Seems like I remember them saying they wanted to touch on every niche, so I guess that is where the Grandma sites came in.
Replied out of order on these. Will get back to you if I find any sites similar to Lusty Grandmas.
I also am not a fan of the way Zoli is set-up. The first time I joined it, it took me a day to figure out that "Pussies" was the model list! I don't know about now, but I used to talk with Zoli in emails. He's a pretty funny guy. I don't know if he could have any say over changing the way the site is laid out, but it would be worth a try. When I read your post, I knew the exact feeling of frustration that you were having. I join Zoli now, if for no other reason, for the bonus sites. Glad to have helped.
If you will check out the TBP Review, it was a clone of another site. Fritz Ryan. I'm guessing, maybe wrongly, that they've just taken this one down since the content is also on Fritz Ryan.
mbaya, it is strange, you know I never had a dropped download on Reality Kings until last night. I was testing to see how many "big" files it would let me download, and on #7 the download stopped halfway through. Then again when I tried to download it again. I still haven't ran into the limit, but I have been downloading all of the content so far into one folder. Their rule about the limit is confusing to me. It says, "10 GB of data, and additionally up to 15 big files."
I don't like the word "additionally" in there. Especially since their parts instead of full scenes are also listed as "Big" files. I could have sworn I downloaded 9 or 10 old scenes from Mike's Apartment that were split into 3 parts each.
I will get back to you on it over the weekend. I should have enough time to test it out and will edit that part with the results, thanks for the heads-up.
Panther, good find, it is now showing up just by going to Hot Legs and Feet and an even bigger reason to grab this deal, 6 updates of Simony coming this week. Looks like someone woke the sleeping giant DDF up. I would love to see his sites return to their former selves.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, home of the Bang Bus, multi-cultured models everywhere, booties, boobies and 20+ more sites. Just behind Reality Kings in the network battle.
- I'm not seeing any DL limit whatsoever, downloaded 12.2 GB from Bang Bus and didn't hit any limit.
- Video quality has improved, especially the bitrates that used to be 500, those are now from 1,000-2,000. Resolution is 640 high end.
- One of the few porn networks that actually has some pretty funny content on it, though that can be distracting.
- Pretty good navigation from site to site, doesn't require re-login, new version of the site does seem to run faster with faster download speeds too.
- Good TBP Price
- The Brazilian Grinder Paola Rey is on here! Watch those hips go and be traumatized for life trying to find a woman that can do that!
Cons:
- Pictures but no zips, damn it.
- Content can become repetitive
- Humor in porn can be a bad thing.
- More advertisements than a Sunday newspaper. Sadly, some of the advertisements look better than their content.
Bottom Line:
I've been with this network for years, all the way back to when it was called "The Ox Pass". The original and best reason to join this network was the Bang Bus site. That is as real as reality porn gets. Man and woman, sometimes two women having sex in the back of a van while someone drives them around on interstates and highways!
I can remember chuckling at their old demand of the women, "Sing Wheels on the Bus while blowing me". The girls, for the most part, thought it was hilarious too. Very good-natured porn. The site is a bit repetitive now, but it is still people having sex in a van as they pass other cars.
My favorite site though is Ball Honeys. The models are rarely skinny, have plenty of curves and they earn their money!
There are five sites that stand out to me. Ball Honeys, Bang Bus, Tug Jobs, Ass Parade and Big Tits Round Asses. The other sites are hit or miss. Some updates on those are pretty good, but some are reaching the "boring and dull" point.
You get more than 20 sites, I'm counting 29. I think most are still updating. They have added some amateur sites to their network,and look to be true amateur content as none of the girls are familiar. The site Facial Fest is another favorite. I've seen only a few of these girls, still updating too. They have the Penny Show, if you remember that. They also have the very small 2003 content from Spring Break Spycam.
A few sites of note: Newbie Black, mostly amateur black girls shooting their first scenes. This is a newer site, it has around 60 videos and updates weekly. I've enjoyed this site so far.
Can He Score: Serious humor going on here. There used to be a dating show on tv where little balloons popped up with the girl's perceived thoughts of her date. Can He Score is the XXX version of it. The humor can be too much at times. Beautiful model in doggystyle on top of a table and out from her head pops a bubble, "Wonder if he has a brother" then "....A sister?"
It is pretty entertaining though. Kind of like watching Mystery Science Theater for porn.
The technical quality is the only real issue with the network. Videos do range in quality from site to site and older ones are bad quality. The thing I never understood, they have pictures, as many as 400 per video and 400 screencaps too, but no zips! I think pictures are important to reality porn since you can look at the surroundings, the passing people and see that it is really isn't set on a porn stage. They really are walking down the streets you've been on.
Reality Kings tops them on that one and in overall video quality. Site design is similar, models are similar, and both are, dare I say, fun networks. You won't find many slim models on this network. You also won't find a lot of fake boobs either. Lots of natural curves, some would even say chubby/fat, but I like their models as good as any sites.
Definite recommend, just be ready for some cheesy humor and all out goofiness.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- More boobs than a bra fitting sale, big boobs too, more content than the majority of networks.
- I'm not giving points for those DRM HD videos, the videos are 640-720 high end, decent quality and they do look nice on my computer.
- Pictures aren't very big less than 1280, but do come zipped, which is a plus.
- Some niches that I like, schoolgirl, public sex, and big boobs, big boobs, big boobs.
- Good download speeds.
- I actually got through to their customer service and they were helpful.
- Good TBP price
Cons:
- Those boobs, they're rarely real and many are very large on a small framed woman. Eva Angelina, Anette Dawn, and probably 20 more have pulled the big implants off well because their frames are more thick. Some of these girls look like if the wind blew right they would tip over.
- In some ways, I don't want to count this as a con, but am going to. The content becomes very repetitive, which is a problem with any site that focuses on certain niches.
- Not for sure what they're pulling with the 6 straight months earns HD video access, but we're putting DRM on those for now. Come on Brazzers, you really are better than that.
- My biggest complaint of all, why in the hell do they shut down or not update the two best sites they had going, Asses in Public and HQ Honeys? It makes it look like the repetitive niche sites are much easier to produce and much cheaper.
Bottom Line:
I scored this network a 90 a few years ago. I will say this, if you're new to porn and never have been a member on this network, it will be good to you. The thing is, the content has not changed one bit since 2007. I've always said that any site or network with niche (schoolgirl) outfits and storylines will become repetitive very fast. They've been doing it for years now.
Don't get me wrong though, they do have some very attractive models and at one time (2007), I really enjoyed their content and praised the niche content.
That big complaint that I had. I still have every episode from Asses in Public. This had girls flashing in public, full-on hardcore sex in public, in parking lots, at bus stops, in warehouses where people were working, behind the freaking man-made flood runoffs in Southern California. I grew up walking those runoffs! I loved that site, but no updates since 2008. HQ Honeys had started with a handful of Euro models, but it never updated.
I will give them credit for adding some Euro models to their network. Love the Black Angelica videos. But what else is there for me?
The video quality is pretty much average at 640 high end, 2000ish bitrate. The pictures are below average, like most networks are, but at least they do give you zip downloads.
I made the comment that the models overall remind me of Hollywood about 20 years ago, no emotion, plastic and blonde. Add big sunglasses, bright dresses and we're shooting west coast Miami Vice.
Here are the sites that I have liked, but tired of.
Big Tits At Work - I liked this one. Kind of an office setting with large breasted women in professional clothes, but how many times is this scenario believable? Probably the best site though in the network.
Baby Got Boobs - The site that brought me to the network, I wanted the Eva Angelina videos from it. Pretty much big boob hardcore.
Big Tits in Sports - Has a ton of potential, but most of the girls are about as athletic as a statue.
Big Tits at School - Schoolgirl uniform being seduced by teacher.
Busty and Real - Solid site with natural boobed women.
Asses in Public - One of the best exhibitionist/voyeuristic sites I've been on. Girl giving a handjob in the office of a car repair shop, makes the poor normal guy, non-porn star cum in 50 seconds or so. Very real action, cars beeping the horn, this is America! Probably should say this is California!
These all had their moments, but are now nothing more than mockery of their own archive.
Bring Asses in Public back, that site alone would add 10 points to my score. I'm just not satisfied with what looks to be a site that is content with their content being repetitive and dull.
I will still recommend it to first time members, but if you've been here before nothing has changed and if anything things have dropped way off in the last year or so. Last, and I mean this, "You're better than this". I would know, I used to love this network.
Another site that does this is Mac and Bumble, or they did the last time I was on it. I don't think it was so much your fault as you may think. Penthouse's join page says, "One month access" for the join price with no asterisks or small print. One month access should mean for the next 30 days you have access to the site since you paid for 1 month access. Also don't see anything in their terms of service about it.
The ratio of feet to legs? Heh, don't they come together? Just kidding around! There is a lot of feet content on this site. Most of the b/g sets end with the guy cumming on the girl's feet. Lots of foot/toe sucking, even two girls um "toeing" each other instead of fingering. So, it might be a bit too much feet/toes if you don't like those. I'm not a fan of feet either, but did like the site. I guess you could say I am indifferent to feet, won't take much away, won't add much either for me. The leg focus is very good though and some of the sets are very intense. I take it that some women are very, very turned on by men or women licking their legs and feet. There is one g/g set has a model named Ennie in it. I don't think I've ever seen a woman in a girl/girl set get so turned on. Her fingers and hand looks like a guy cummed in her hand but there is no guy in the set. She ended up that wet in the scene and orgasming that much.
I'll go ahead and post those, probably won't be back on here until tomorrow sometime. Here is the list of exclusive sites you should have with Zoli right now.
Magic Blondes, Footsie Babes, Playful Hands, Flexy Pussy, one of my favorites Sweet Sophie Moone, Fassinating, PeePee Babes, great hardcore site Horny Eurosluts, Dirty 101, Lezbohoneys and Open Air Pleasures.
All of the content on those is only available on their sites in this network. A few scenes, less than 1% may be on DVDs like the Sandy's Girls DVD. The rest is exclusive. Zoli's main interest for me is the older content with the Euro stars. I don't have any of the newer content from his site. The other interest was access to those sites I listed above. I've joined Sweet Sophie Moone for $30 before they created this network. I had also planned to joined Open Air Pleasures and Horny Eurosluts for full price before the network came along. Just reviewing Zoli, it would have been an 80 for me, below my average score of 85. Adding those other sites though makes it a good deal. Horny Eurosluts was either 87 or 88 for me by itself. Very similar to DDF's Hands on Hardcore if you've seen it.
Take a deep breath, relax, count to 10, I think if you check those bonus sites out you'll at least be pretty happy with it. BTW, Lusty Grandmas and the Granny Orgasm are seriously "granny" niche. I know you're into mature, but some of these women look near 70s and 80s. I had it as a bonus site a few months ago and it was really bad, like the mother's of the mature!
messmer, maybe I can help a little. Maybe. Anytime you go to join a site in the 21st Sextury network click on the main page, "Full Network". The next page has a drop down box that you click, it shows which sites you get instantly and the order you will receive loyalty sites.
There is a bit of technical difference in the naming of files on Zoli based on the niche of the video. The number with v in front of it like this, v5046- is the shoot number. Then you look at this v5046-290 that 290 is the niche. For all of the videos on Zoli, 290 is the Daily Intro. If it was 291 it would be the Reality Bites niche. If it was 294 it would be The Score niche. The reason these are separated is because those aren't always filmed on the same days AND Reality Bites does have some content that some members would be repulsed by. This is my breakdown on each niche.
Daily Intro: Sort of casting, if the model's first time on the site, she shows her body, Zoli talks a lot. If the model has been there before, it is often Zoli driving to meet the model, talking about her from his perspective.
Reality Bites: This can be many things. It can be outdoors peeing, it can be gagging/puking, it can be Zoli taking the model shopping or buying her an ice cream. One with Eve Angel has Zoli walking his dog while Eve walks her dog and they then have an ice cream. Another with Eve is Zoli at the mall with her and going into the dressing room to film her changing clothes. These are probably popular just to those that like the niche covered.
The Score: This is the action, masturbation, hardcore, whatever the set is. You can check out Eve's to see how the days or at least times change in one set.
Eve Daily Intro v5046-290 is Zoli driving to pick her up and talking about her.
Eve Reality Bites v5046-291 is Zoli and Eve shopping for lingerie. Very real. Zoli slips in the dressing room behind her and records her changing.
Eve The Score v5046-294 is a shower and masturbation scene.
If you watch all 3, you can see that both Zoli and Eve have different clothes on in the sets. So, it most likely was shot on different days. Also, the missing number 292 and 293 are for if the model has other niche content. These 290, 291, 294 never change though. So, if you see 292, 293 missing, it is because the model didn't do any other niche content. The 290 is always the start/intro, the 294 is always The Score or action. Everything in-between is niche content. It would probably look strange if they tried to put 290, 291, 294 together since the different outfits and settings would break up any cohesiveness. BTW, the bonus sites with Zoli includes at least 8 sites exclusive to 21st Sextury, so it isn't just non-exclusive DVD clips. Those sites have full picture sets, HD videos too.
If you want me to list those, let me know, I'm running out of characters!
Shap, I couldn't remember the customer service email address. Probably also a compliment there since I've never had to use it before. I've been on Twistys for most of the year, except a month or two in-between memberships and go back to probably 2004 with the site, never had a problem with anything on the site, which is why it probably caused me to be more concerned. I do understand about the servers. I'm involved with a sports site that just started "upgrading" their servers, we've lost about 2% of 500,000 members over it since it has removed their blog access for several days and messed up their fantasy sports teams.
I'll send an email with this screenname exotics4me added in the subject. And definitely will appreciate the extra time. You continue to show why Twistys is the best overall site on the internet. Thanks.
I haven't been able to sign in on Twistys since Friday night. Everything works, updates tab works, join tab works, but when I click the members tab it pauses then says, "Cannot display page". I've also tried with IE with no luck. I don't want to bash one of my favorite sites, but I have limited downloading time, usually from 7 PM PST to 3 AM PST, but haven't been able to download anything for the last two nights. To top it off, my membership runs out either on Tuesday or Wednesday. It is one of those complimentary complaints. I really like Meggan Malone and she has a new set showing in today's updates. Also wanted to check out the Sasha Grey Treat content. Maybe this will help get an answer about the problem.
Just a note on those two sets. I have a membership to TD right now and checked those out. Set 3 has many hardcore shots in it. There is full penetration, full blowjob shots, cumshot and looks very real. The older man is flush in the face and neck by the end of the set and sweating. I would like to see the movie of the scene. One page of the pictures looks to be setting a story up. They are at a club or bar and it looks like the older man propositions her. By the way, on the preview link that you posted, you can click on the other pages and see the thumbnails of all of the pictures and see the hardcore parts.
I think enough people said, "The ALS Scan content is better than the 1byday content" to make DDF pull the plug on the sharing. The last time I subscribed to 1bday, I also had a ALS account. I thought I was on the wrong site when I saw the daily update. I would prefer that the sites do like Teen Dreams do and have just maybe 20 pictures from another site's content, kind of a teaser advertiser.
One of my complaints to Alex was that he could nearly put all of the ALS Angels content on ALS Scan in place of the 1byday shared content. I don't know if that will ever happen, but it would sure shoot my review up into that very close to 100 range.
You get 30 the day you sign up. Thing is there are, I think, 42 total, so it takes 6 months to get all 42. If you're interested in which sites you get instantly, go to the Pix and Video site. You'll see "Full Network" in the menu on your left. Click it. The next page will have a blank drop down menu on your upper right side of the screen, click it and a drop down box will open that lists "Instant access sites" and "loyalty sites", so you can see the ones that come with it instantly and then the order of the loyalty sites. You get two of those each month you let it recur and it does recur at $24.95 instead of the starting price of $29.95. Probably 3/4 or so of those first 30 are non-exclusive. The 12 loyalty sites are exclusive to their family of sites.
I also like the one Nikita. Viv Thomas' site turned me on to her. That's interesting about Angel Pink. I had only seen a few sets of her before joining P&V. Then again, I don't join as many sites as I used to, so I've probably just missed her rise. Kind of reminds me of Angelica Heart, but prettier.
I'm usually more specific. I need to know that at least some of my favorite models are on the site. Once I know that, reviews, comments, won't sway me away unless they are about bad business practices.
The whole thing for me when it comes to previews is a model list and preferably the amount of content each model has. That kind of pisses me off at In Focus Girls and Sapphic Erotica. Their previews won't let you see how much content the model has so you have to join to find out that they haven't added any new content of your favorites.
I was pleasantly surprised with the changes at Pix and Video. I thought when they went to the network that they no longer updated Pix and Video daily, but they do. I think they've probably borrowed a bit from the way 1byday used to be. They have one day a week that is a girl/girl set, b/g hardcore on Friday, three days of solo masturbation sets, one day of casting and the casting is good, includes strip by a brand new model though the interviews are just okay, and one day that is a photoshoot style video. The photoshoot one is similar to ALS Scan's photoshoot videos, not as good as an in-action video, but better than bloopers.
The thing that surprised me the most though was the quality of the new models. I don't know if you've seen Angel Pink or not, she is newer, has a set or two on Twistys, maybe a set on 1bday, absolute doll, she has 5 sets on Pix and Video just over the past few months. Some old favorites are still showing up too, like Angelica Heart and Bambi. They're getting some models I've never seen, I know you like blondes, they have one Jacelin, believe she is a natural blonde, great body, similar body to Eve Angel. To me, they are putting as much into their site as any site I've been on. Plus, you always get a video with the newer models, not just photoshoots like Teen Dreams is doing with their new models.
Having said this, I think 1byday is getting the message. It seems they've now cut the blooper updates down to every other week, instead of every Sunday and they've stopped posted ALS Scan content as a new update for them. Nothing like good competition to make all the sites better!
It mainly depends on who the model is for me. Some models can make a photo set very sexy with their expressions. I've always thought Gemma Massey was one of the best at this. The opening pictures of her sets she has a curious but shy look, this goes on to become playful, then she can turn it on to come get me now levels. I don't think I will ever change in that sense. It is probably the same reason I prefer solo videos, I get those same feelings from the models and their expressions.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- The headliner of a huge network, for me, the site itself is the biggest reason for joining.
- Network can be very rewarding if you stick around beyond one month, will explain BL.
- Price is fine with me, I used to pay $29.95 a month just for this site, so the other sites truly are "bonus" sites.
- Last 8-9 months movies are 1280 high end, 3000 bitrate, will further in BL.
- More beautiful Euro models than you can shake a stick at!
- Pictures are still 1280 high end, they come zipped and I've always loved their colors. Nice warm colors in most sets really bring out the glamour side of their models.
- Download speed and website performance has improved a great deal over the last year or so, hitting my max download speed at all times.
- Bonus sites do add some interesting niche content.
- Very responsive and friendly customer service. One of the best at customer service.
- Pix and Video updates daily with pic set and HD video.
- Hardcore, solo and g/g are all covered
Cons:
- Variation in quality since the site has been around since 2003, not a huge con though, just one of the bad perks of being a long running successful site.
- I'm still waiting on bigger pictures, but this one doesn't bother me as much as it could other potential members.
- I think the offering of bonus sites is a good one, the loyalty bonus sites are very good sites once you stick around past 1 month, but I wonder if it hurts some since they don't realize P&V was $29.95 before with no bonus sites? Also, on my part, I miss the Club Sandy/P&V combo for $45.
Bottom Line:
This is a review of a site that my previous review has expired. With 1byday's problems these days, I have to say that I think Pix and Video has topped the mighty 1byday. The recent models are better. The last year's quality is similar in technical terms and I prefer the P&V archive. This review and score is not really based on the network and Pix and Video, just Pix and Video. The updates are 7 days a week, none of those Jokes updates, no borrowed content from other sites as updates.
I went as deeply as possible with this part. Back to December 2008, the daily updates have had a picture set and HD video, 1280 high end. Before that back to 2006 or so, 640 high end on the videos and back before mid-2006 or so, it was 400 high end.
Bonus sites: Of the ones you receive with Pix and Video, to the best of my knowledge these are the instant access bonus sites that are exclusive to 21st Sextury: Mandy is Kinky, Speculum Plays, Creampie Reality, Teach Me Fisting and I believe Pee and Blow is.
Mandy is Kinky is some weird shit. You've been warned, aliens and zombies and morgue sex, it's like watching an X-rated Rob Zombie movie. No longer updates, Speculum Plays is what it says, but it a small site that also no longer updates that I know of. The other 3 look to be from Zoliboy, he is all into the creampie, peeing, fisting. There also are two transsexual sites, Perfect Ladyboys and Baby Got Balls. I think Perfect Ladyboys is an exclusive site to 21st Sextury since I can remember them asking poll questions on the main page about it, but I'm not positive on that one.
You're on Pix and Video most likely for the same reason I am, for Pix and Video. The good news is, let your monthly bill recur for one month, the price goes down to $24.95 and you get two new bonus sites, very good ones too, Asshole Fever and Sweet Sophie Moone. Those are premium level sites that many of us have joined for $29.95 in the past. Each month you stay, you get two more of these premium level sites for $24.95, plus you still have Pix and Video updating daily. Most of these premium bonus sites are updating in HD too.
I tried to make it 6 months awhile back, but didn't quite make it. If you do make it 6 months though, you get Club Sandy as a loyalty site. In my opinion Club Sandy and Pix and Video are two of the top 5 Euro sites on the internet and you get both plus all those other bonus premium sites for $25 a month. That's the best deal on the internet. If you can stay patient.
I just know I was really reaching on the cons. The models are some of the best, Aneta, Sandra, Eve, Angelica, and I could go on for an hour. I'm going to try to make it 6 months. I failed last time, I tried by starting with Club Sandy and at the time Pix and Video had several Eve Angel sets I didn't have. I couldn't wait 6 months to get those. Now I have them and will be patient...hopefully. It is a definite recommended site, you'll be hard pressed to find a larger or finer collection of models!
I joined Bang Bros Network last week for the first time in several years and wanted to put a few notes that could get lost in the review when I post it next week.
The TBP site facts has a daily download limit of 500 MB on each site in the network. I'm not seeing it so far. I do similar to how Khan recommended, making a temporary type folder and downloading into it to follow how much I've downloaded. I've only downloaded from 3 of their sites so far, Tugjobs, Ass Parade and my favorite in the network Ball Honeys. I've had these folders over a 24 hour period, 2-2.5 GB from each of those sites, for 6-7.5 GB total in a day.
I don't know if this could have to do with the fact that I'm using the "new" version of their website, like their friends over at Reality Kings, they have an old version of their site still available and a new one. I thought this was worth a mention since 500 MB would be very low as some of the videos are in excess of 500 MB.
Also seeing a better bitrate from what I remembered. The information from VLC is saying in the 3000-3500 bitrate range, way up from the ones I remembered that were in the 1000 range. Though, I will be the first to admit that the videos look to need improvement in the quality despite being 640 high end with 3000 bitrate. I have videos from Videobox and Reality Kings with nearly identical technical specs that look superior to the Bang Bros videos in terms of clarity.
Still, I've enjoyed the content so far, similar to how I have enjoyed the Reality Kings content. Maybe not the most original, but some of these sites in the Bang Bros network do seem to at least try to be different. The one where a "regular guy" tries to woo and seduce a porn model, is if nothing else, hilarious. One of the models asks the guy, "Do you have an inny...down there?" Of course, he whips out a 12 incher and makes her scream bloody murder, but it sure beats, "Oh hello Mr. Plumber...are you here to fix my pipes?" The models are also as impressive as ever. Ball Honeys is the Baskin Robbins of porn, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, mixed or as Sanchez jokes in an older video "Neapolitan". Will edit if or when I hit a download limit.
I'm under 36, barely, and picked as many as possible. Not that I prefer tattoos, but having grown up in Southern California, Pico Union, lots of Hispanic girls and some do have tattoos to promote the heritage. I love the Aztecan tattoos, usually a small bird with a traditional Aztecan headdress on the bird. I don't care for seeing the little beach girls in Santa Monica with their "tribal" suns around their bellybuttons. To me, it is more about heritage and understanding the meaning. My late grandfather had tattoos from his thighs to ankles on both legs as a tribute to his Samoan heritage. So, I guess you could say I'm used to them, but will continue to say no to the ones that are just there for a fad.

Pros:
- Part of the Reality Kings network, one of the best, if not best standalone sites offered on a network.
- Lots of content, as of 7/23/09 there is a total of 367 scenes with weekly updates.
- Mostly Euro models, including at least one set of nearly all of the major Euro stars. Also, there is a lot of b/g hardcore here including with some Euros that rarely do b/g. BL will go into that.
- Last 3 years quality has been pretty good, videos at 720x480 with 1400 bitrate, quality 3 years or older is 352x240 and cut into smaller parts.
- Pictures available, screenshots, zipped for easy download and some of these are huge, as many as 600 photos in one set.
- Site averages out to less than $1 a month when included with Reality Kings TBP price.
- Some of the better known models have multiple sets.
- Well above average download speeds
Cons:
- To start with, this site has two flaws for me. One is the navigation. Not that it is hard to navigate. You can search all updates on the site and start scrolling. There are 50 updates per page and some of the thumbnails don't even show the model's face. This leads to clicking every set, hitting back button and starting over.
- The other is the quality of the older content. The updates from 3 years ago and back have the videos split into at least 3 parts and are of poor quality 352 high end. As with most sites that feature Euro models, that older content is usually the best.
Bottom Line:
I rarely will single out a network site for a full review, but I think Mike's Apartment is worthy of it.
The site is a reality site that wants you to believe these unsuspecting Euro models are looking for an apartment to stay in. You know what happens next, "But...I have no how do you say...money?" The best part for me is the way the Euro models show that they don't take their acting very seriously as they often start laughing. I've wondered about a lot of the b/g sets that say the guy with the model is her husband or boyfriend that also needs some place to stay.
This is true in at least a couple of the videos. Cameron Cruz/Mona Lisa's real-life husband, John Cruz is with her on this site in a hardcore set and I believe a couple of the newer ones are with their real boyfriends. You know what that means, don't you? Very realistic and passionate sex.
Just a brief sampling of the top Euros that have been on this site: Eve Angel (2), Simony Diamond, Eufrat, Stracy Stone/Bijou (2), Cindy Hope (2), Wivien/Vivien, Sophie Moone, Angel Dark, Veronika Simon, Cameron Cruz/Mona Lisa (2), Zafira (2), Bambi, just to name the ones I have downloaded recently.
Here is the big part for me, Eufrat, Stracy, Zafira don't have much b/g on the internet, but they do b/g on Mike's Apartment. Also, some of these Euros end up on the other sites in the network as well. Cindy Hope has a recent scene on another RK site We Live Together.
They also do get the girls to talk a little in English. Eve Angel's first appearance on the site was in February 2004, that was pretty early in Eve's career. You can't help but laugh in a good way when she admits in English, "A deedo" (dildo) that she brought with her would be the only lucky thing that day.
The download limit that is often talked about rarely becomes a problem if you break the sites into download sessions and download to site named folders. I downloaded 17 full videos and 17 zipped screenshot sets last night for a total of 6.1 GB, well below the 10 GB daily limit. So, don't let that limit push you away. Plus, if you do hit it, they won't cancel your membership. They just tell you to come back in 24 hours.
The content on Mike's Apartment is some of the most collectible for Euro fans on the internet, especially with the rare b/g content. For me, if I had never been a member, I would pay the TBP price just for this site. One annoyance is that Mike couldn't keep his mouth shut early in the site's life. He would ask some of the dumbest questions ever asked in porno, "Do you play video games?" Mike then starts having a conversation with the cameraman about Family Guy! In his defense, Mike does grovel to the models probably the same way we would! "Oh my god, look at these perfect boobs" If the older content was remastered this site would rate in the low to mid 90s.
In closing, this is the site that makes Reality Kings my favorite network. Also remember, if the content wasn't good, the DL limit wouldn't bother anyone!

Pros:
- My favorite of the big booty, big booby, networks. Tons of content, multiple sites that could stand on their own.
- Despite the daily download limit of 10 GB, I'm not bothered by it. If it were 1-2 GB per day, that would bother me, but as it is, I could realistically download 300 GB in a month.
- TBP discounted price
- Covering most of the bases when it comes to broad range of cultures, white girls, Latinas, black girls, this is what sells the site to me.
- Some of the sites included have been longtime favorites like Mike in Brazil, 8th Street Latinas and Round and Brown.
- Quality is good enough for me. Newest download from Mike in Brazil is 720x404 with 1400 bitrate. Will further this thought in BL.
- Each video comes with zipped screenshots, I like these as a throw-in, but they're not going to blow you away with quality.
- I'm getting good connection and DL speed, about 95% of my max download speed
- Daily updates
Cons:
- The download limit could be a con to some, but I do have trouble listing that a site with what equals a 300 GB monthly limit equals a con. I only have a few site folders over the years that total 300 GB.
- I have found a few, probably less than 1% of the videos that are not available anymore.
- Content can be repetitive. Then again curvy butts never get repetitive to me!
- Some of the sites are no longer updating. I thought CFNM Secret had a ton of potential, but only one update this month.
- Some of the older content on the longer running sites is split into parts on the videos.
Bottom Line:
This is a re-review of a site that I hadn't been back on since about 2 years ago. I had to talk to myself reasonably about the DL Limit and how 300 GB in a month is more content than I usually download from any site in a month. This network, like Brazzers and Bang Bros is very high on the curvy models. I like Reality Kings a bit better because my favorite models are Latinas and they have a lot of Latina content.
The sites I like best with the network in order:
Mike's Apartment - Almost 100% Euro models in mostly hardcore action, a few solo and g/g sets. 8th Street Latinas - Mostly straightforward hardcore sex. Mike In Brazil - The Brazilian girls in hardcore action. Serious booty moving in these. MILF Hunter - Late 20s, early 30s models in hardcore action.
Round and Brown - Mostly black girls, but some dark Latinas as well, more curves than the autobahn.
In the VIP - Gives you a bit of a voyeur feel since they are supposed to be in a club. We Live Together - G/G/G sometimes more! Older sets are much better than the newer ones though. Money Talks - Takes on a bit of an exhibitionist side. Models, women on the street are offered money to show skin in public. Also has some terribly painful humiliation clips including a guy putting his dick in a mouse trap for money.
Those are the ones off the top of the head, but I have content from all 28 sites. All follow the curvy theme. I think Mike's Apartment could easily stand on its own, don't get any ideas Reality Kings! 8th Street Latinas as well. Both have years of content built up.
Onto the quality issue. My biggest concern with Reality Kings advertising HD on their main page, is just think how fast the download limit would fill up. The most recent Mike in Brazil clip is 720x404, 1400 bitrate, right at 40 minutes long and is 418 MB in size, double that to HD and the amount is near 1 GB, with a 10 GB limit per day that could become frustrating.
I do like the screenshots that you can download. These more of less look like a picture you or I could have taken with our personal camera. These are especially good in the Money Talks series. You can see that the content is live and the public is walking by without noticing.
They do have a CFNM site, if you've followed my reviews, these are usually well-liked by females, my wife likes them, but they aren't updating much anymore. They also didn't follow the CFNM rules, but it is still good. In their CFNM the man eventually gets more than a handjob.
For me, the network is as good or really better than most DVD sites since the different sites separate the content into niche for you. They do also have a bit more variety than the other networks mentioned have. One thing to keep in mind. Eventually you get tired of any niche. This is where repetition sets in.
Overall though, Euros, Latinas, black girls, white girls, it is like a buffet of women to me! DL limit notwithstanding, I recommend it, especially for the discounted price.
