Hmmm. I don't think this site will ever be a good fit for me.
I don't suppose they often start out fully clothed & end up fully nude?
You know the true nudity, not the type that involves still wearing some clothes! :0/
Cap'n. :0)

We have taken on board our users input, we have made the decision that future sets produced in-house will no longer be re-touched, please understand that there are sets already uploaded to the site that have yet to be released that have had post-production and we're not in a position to re-work those sets (some we can't anyway)

Multiple smileys :-)
When the percentage of photoshopping haters reaches 70%, the site will start killing members at random ;-) They will add an unphotoshopped set so hot that looking at it will be fatal. (There was a wonderful comedy sketch over here, still available if you google it, usually called "The Killer Joke").

"I am not sure if "art" needs to be photo shopped, Claypaws! :-)"
'twas irony :-) (As perhaps was your reply).
Photoshop can be used to great effect to enhance colour and contrast and perform suitable sharpening. But I, as much as you, hate the softening filters that so many apply in the name of art.
"Their trade mark, so to speak."
That's why I don't think 58% of their users will influence them to change. They will do what they do. And maybe they will target the marketing more towards places where they think they can increase the 42% who have not objected.
Over here, the BBC have a feedback program where listeners can comment on policy and programmes. Frequently a BBC representative is presented with the comments in an interview. But the response is nearly always a paraphrase of "We are perfect".

from otoh:
Another fine review, messmer, thanks. This site has vaguely appealed to me, as I am a fan of lingerie and nylons. However (and aside from the image processing you mention) whereas the models and clothing seem great, from what I have seen so far seems to be somehow lacking in actual eroticism; it seems a little wooden.
Does that sound right, or am I being unfair?

Good review, sir. You have saved me from subscribing.
"It could be such a terrific site if only they put away the air brush, body make-up and photoshop for good and went with natural!"
Ah, but this is "art". They would need to call it "natural lingerie" if they did that.
I don't know if you have ever heard any of Alan Bennett's sketches. One of his favourite formats takes a topic from everyday life and suggests ways in which "they" could improve things. The sketch always finishes with the words: "But they won't, will they?"

Thanks for this update/review, messmer.
And I very much agree. When a member - twice - some time ago I was really pleased with several fine vids (not much for their sets).
But I has gone downhill - in the way you so excellent describes. Not erotic anymore...

I find it even more frustrating when they put the whole photo set into some kind of filtering and come up with stuff like Celeste Star on July 11th or Rebecca Blue on June 27th, just to name two. They really ruined those!
Guess they're trying to be artists. We, on the other hand, are not interested in fucking paintings. Clearly, there's a disconnect here.

Interesting review of an interesting site. I agree with you, letting a model's slight 'imperfections' shine through add layers of personality. The texture of her skin, a few freckles, etc. need to be shown!

Well i'm a current member and also one of those 58% who voted in the poll. Really don't know why they feel the need to use so much airbrushing when all the models are already stunningly beautiful.They totally trashed my favorite freckled redhead Faye Regan with the airbrushing to the extent you wouldn't even know she had freckles if you'd not seen her before.

messmer's Comment from messmer:
Don' know what happened to a previous comment. It never showed up. Who knows maybe I forgot to post it.
I stated that I had gone to Epoch and they subscribed me for $26.00 CAD but when I tried to enter the site they did not recognize my password and user name.
I found out in the meantime that Epoch sent me a different username and password in their confirmation from the one I had picked. So, by using that one I could get in.
It is still a very nice site with great looking models.
I like the poll they have at the moment asking subscribers how they feel about the photo shopping of some sets. 58% want NO photo shop! Hooray. Now I just hope that they'll listen.

When I click the join link, I get a CCBill sign up.
It is worded:
"$24.95 (USD) for 30 days then $24.95 (USD) recurring every 30 days"
Not much room for doubt there then :-)
Multi month rates are somewhat lower but recur at the same rate as the initial charge.

from gaypornolover:
Sounds like the classic regional billing to me - you have to pay extra even when you're using a slightly stronger currency.
It's sadly a way of life for European users, sounds like Canadians aren't exempt either.
CCBill, although a respected provider, does seem to be very willing to provide regional billing and doesn't require sites to make it clear that it's in place, which I think is misleading.
You often don't realise you've been overcharged until after you've joined.
I now always double-check what they're charging me in my local currency and how they compares in US dollars to what the site advertises itself as costing. It should be similar, if not exact due to currency fluctuations - but if it's several dollars more, you're being overcharged.

I live in US. When I go from PU link to this site, and then try the join link, I see $24.95/month recurring.
Maybe you can try sending the site an email, asking for the $24.95 rate?
And CCBILL is the credit card processor that I am seeing.

I am getting a marginally reduced rate on all continuations.
My feeling is, it is not regional pricing so much as the site trying to encourage members to remain after one month.

Probably the website.
Some do offer a lowered rate for a continuing membership.

from Mr Fountain:
I like Onlyteases photos too...they only ask 24.95.and they deliver good photos. Since you are a sharp/ nude photo lover probably you'd like sites like inthecrack or simonscans. But Sharp usually entails a higher monthly membership price. Simonscans is 29.99 and inthecrack goes for 34.95. You may even like watch4beauty.

Well, obviously you're the very worst kind of deviant, messmer. Women in erotic lingerie? Not sure we need your kind around here :)

No, you're getting MUCH more than that. I click on Latest Updates, Upskirts and Panties and I see 12 NEW Galleries. The Movie Gallery dated 8/01/11 shows 7 NEW vids. This past Sunday's Coeds With Toys Gallery shows 12 NEW Galleries, etc. It's kind of amazing how much this site updates. There isn't another site that I'm aware of that gives this quantity of updates.

I'm not surprised that when they're advertising "hairy", they're really going for "hairy" - not my tastes at all, so I've never joined that site. ATK Galleria, on the other hand, is a site I've maintained a membership at - quite happily, aside from occasions like this promised web-cam show - for a long while. They have 12 photo updates a day 5 days a week and 2 days a week, they post 7 vid updates, plus some bonus galleries a few times a week from quality sites such as Met Art, Only Tease, Karups Hometown Amateurs, etc.
So there's a lot of stuff - and a lot of variety. One of the things that I continue to appreciate about ATK Galleria is that they seem to encourage their photographers to have their own style, so the look of the photo sets doesn't get monotonous.
It's a HUGE site with vast archives, so even if you look at the updates on a particular day and go, "Meh", just start clicking around and you can find lots of great stuff - or I do, anyway.

So far as I am aware, it features older ATKNH & Galleria material;
and there is currently no material from Exotics or Premium.
