I agree - with a trial, the awkward navigation can be a bit of an advantage, taking you in directions that you wouldn't have otherwise gone. It's definitely a turn-off in considering whether to join for full, though.
Yeah - it's weird. At PixandVideo, they are still referring to 46 sites, however when you look through the drop-down menu or click on the websites tab and go through them there, there are only 44 sites presented.
As Ricky Ricardo used to say, "Somebody's got some 'splaining to do!"
Good review - I join this site every once in a while for a month or 2, then get bored. It's not a grade A site. Even the webmaster's comments have a sloppy quality to them, "Hey, all - I loaded a bunch of stuff, including a bonus vid - can't remember what it was"...
But there's a certain charm to this site because there's fun content here if you like digging through the vast quantity of material to find it. It's similar to crate-digging in a clunky old used book or record store.
And the Amateurs Gone Bad site has some of the most fun material, because there's cool "casual" stuff of hot babes that hasn't been posted better by other sites.
And most important of all - the site works. It's not laden with broken links and vids and doesn't crash on you or kick you out of the page you're looking at.
It's not a bad site at all - but it's all stuff that you can find elsewhere - for me, what makes it worthwhile to check out periodically is the Crissy Moran site bonus - they continue to post new stuff of Crissy and the new stuff that they were posting when I was there last was fabulous - great high quality vids including a hard-core vid that is one of my faves.
The way to get the best value for the buck involving this site, in my opinion is to join through Crissy Moran's site at the 90 day price. You get this site, the Amateur Models Gone Mad site, Crissy's site, where they are posting excellent vids of Crissy weekly that I've never seen before (many are being cross-posted on this site) and several other bonus sites that have limited material.
If you like Crissy Moran at all I would recommend going for this site by joining hers.
Don't forget to check out LonnieWaters.com, NataliaCruze.com and AmateursGoneBad.com, which also come with Crissy's site. If you like Nautica Thorn, as I do, the pic sets on the amateur site are a real treat.
You received a response from someone that works for W4B? Frame it! I had a membership to their "Dreams" sites a couple of years ago and was trying to follow up on a deal that they had offered, then taken away - must have sent 30 e-mails with no response whatsoever.
They are on my list of 10 most non-responsive web sites in existence.
There is the posted price and then there is the price you can get with a little creative googling. I'm not talking about piracy. You can join the site for a very attractive price if you use google correctly.
One cool thing about this site - I don't know if anyone round her was a fan of Trixie Teen - a really gorgeous, slinky Latina with great perky natural boobs. Anyway, she has grown up a bit, has really sexy tats and a goth-ish style, and is a model on this site.
I can't say that any of these reviews seem very trustworthy to me. When I stumbled on the Trixie Teen connection, I checked it out a bit and it seemed to be more of a forum than a photo/vid site.
I'd be interested in someone doing a review with stats as to numbers of photo sets/pics/vids, some indication of photo resolution or vid sizes.
Since the webmaster has already posted here, that kind of feedback would be helpful from him/her as well.
One of the funniest comments I've ever seen on this site, for sure. You want authentic, go to Suicide Girls or Gods Girls - this site seems to be going for "pretty" girls playing Goth Rock Girls - which seems like a hot thing to do.
Please post a comment or review if you join and let us know about updates - the preview looks quite hot.
Actually, the more discouraging thing to me is if you go to the Exxxcel web site to see "all" of their updates, it shows that the most recent update to this site was 2/06/09 - 1 1/2 months ago - bleeeahh!
You might want to give jsexnetwork a try sometime. They have a fair amount of graphis material, though they mainly post DVD's. They aren't as consistent in their posting as sites such as AsiaMoviePass or ActionJav, but they post a wide variety of authentic Japanese porn, both pics and DVD's and the quality is mainly quite high.
Current Member for over 6 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
Consistent updates - 18 a week - updated weekly
Years of archives, all easily accessible, all work
Good navigation by model name, alphabetical order, top rated list, etc
Grooby quality - in almost all their sites, they run a tight ship - everything's going to work well, including the deep archives
Variety of models - the models come from a variety of their sites - Brazilian Transexuals, Grooby Girls, LadyboyLadyboy, Black T-Girls, Shemale Yum - usually, there are 3 Brazilian sets, 1 of which is t-girl/t-girl, 3-5 ladyboy sets, 5 Black model sets, 5 white model sets per week.
I like their suggestions - if you find a model or set you like, the site if very good at suggesting other sets for you that you will also like.
Cons:
The presentation is very plain, for the most part - the model(s) will be in a hotel room posing, usually starting out clothed, then stripping and playing with herself, showing you her ass, etc, then cumming. There aren't much in the way of production values, there's not a tremendous variety of types of locations, rarely any story or scenario, a lot of models are completely quiet through most of the scene.
Bottom Line:
The # of updates and depth of the archives is the selling point of this site, to me. Even if you were only interested in ladyboy models, 5 scenes per week is a good update rate for most sites and you get 13 other scenes as well. Personally, it's the Brazilians and Asian models for me, for the most part, but with the depth of the archives, you will have early scenes of most of who have become popular trans star performers here, because no company has produced a fraction of the trans content that Grooby has. To be honest, the only Grooby site that I've every had regrets about joining was their Japanese site because the last time I joined, I found it to be all retreads. Other than that, Grooby is producing tons of trans porn material - most of which is, as I described above, very basic - model in a hotel room playing with herself. The question is whether you find the models attractive or not. The site makes it very easy to browse before joining so you wouldn't be buying a pig in a poke.
Agreed - it's a great sampler site to see what Grooby has to offer in their more specialized sites - if you're new to TS porn or trying to figure out where your tastes lie, it's especially useful. If you're only seen TS porn in Devil's Film or other more mainstream sites, it's a good way of getting to see the broader range of TS porn by the company that's been doing it longer and more consistently than anybody. once you've been a member of a Grooby site, you'll get more info on their deals, including their Customer Appreciation Week, when they offer their biggest deals of the year. Grooby used to to offer more frequent discounts on their sites, but apparently they don't feel the need as they really aren't doing that so much these days.
Another very good review. And I agree - unless just the fact that a model calls herself "trans" turns you on, there are a lot of trans models that are not terribly attractive. Then you find a Khloe Kay or Chanel Santini in the early days or Ren Rika and it's like, "holy criminy!" There's something fascinating and confusing and mysterious and wonderful about gorgeous trans models. This site is worth an occasional join just because it has such a vast collection, but it's also worth looking around for discounts - and there are some very good discounts to be found every once in a while. Grooby has a discount mailing list you can get on to find out when their various sites are having discounts. Famously, around Christmas they have their 12 days of Grooby sales where various sites of theirs have fantastic deals.
You might be getting a distorted idea of the length of the vids. For instance, one of the coolest areas of the site is their massage section - and the vids there are quite lengthy. The newest one,which looks absolutely beautiful and VERY erotic is 53 minutes long.
Their "film of the week" uploaded on 4/17/12 was 9 minutes long. The previous posted vid was almost 8 minutes long, etc.
I agree with the other comment that the heart of the site is the photo galleries, but their vids are actually quite good and unique, unlike a site such as MET Art where, unfortunately, the vids are mainly good to cure insomnia.
If you were deciding between this site and Met Art, I'm afraid that you definitely chose wrong. Met Art just has a LOT more variety, given the number of content producers that work with them. There's great stuff every day there. Hegre has Hegre and he's got his tastes and his way of doing things.
In terms of vids, though, I MUCH prefer Hegre's vids to the Met Art vids. Met Art vids, with very few exceptions that I've seen, couldn't be more boring if that were the whole intent of them - horrible, horrible, boring crap videos, no matter how great looking the women are that are in them or how "high-quality" they are - uchhhh!
Hegre, to me, often has a quirky sense of humor at work in his vids, and I frequently enjoy them. Met Art is, in general, though, a much better, more enjoyable site.
Different tastes - I really like this site - I joined when they had their half-price special in January. I don't go there every day, but I find it to be a really unique site and I find the photography to be very erotic.
My favorite thing about it is that their doesn't seem to be any photo-shopping going on. Hegre seems to use light and water and oil and things like that to show the models off to their best. While he leans definitely toward the waif look, there are enough models who don't fit that look to hold my interest.
If you're a fan of Nella, I don't think that anybody has photographed or filmed Nella to look better than Hegre.
I just stumbled onto the fact that this amazing site has a January special - Join at their "90 Days" rate and you'll have that rate for 6 months instead - recurring - makes this amazing site less than $10/month if you join in January '07
Check out Holly Randall's Twitter account. I don't know what the issue is, but she posted that the Holly Randall site is not accepting new members currently and is not adding new material currently - she is posting lots of new material to her Only Fans site.
Again - for more info, it's best to go to the source - Holly is very active on Twitter and you can get all the details she cares to share from her there.
I haven't delved in to see if the Holly Randall site that is now part of Met Art Network includes Forever Vamp (the name Forever Vamp without the former content apparently stayed with Brand Danger) and whatever other sites her site had split into under the Brand Danger ownership, but this site is now part of Met Art Network - and can be added to one's Met Art membership at $10/month, as can ALS Scan, SexArt, Viv Thomas, Michael Ninn's site, Rylsky Art, and 4 other sites.
Quite the network our friends at Met Art have put together - congrats on helping to maintain the diversity of internet erotica!
Things change quickly - I was wondering if this was a situation like with ALS Scan and ALS Angels where the first became part of the MetArt Network and the 2nd did not. But I just clicked on Forever Vamp and wound up in a completely different non-Holly Randall site.
I think the whole kit-and-kaboodle of her sites are going to MetArt Network.
