Pros:
- Well known, established web model, now doing hardcore
- Lots of outdoors scenes in risqué outfits in very public places
- Billing by CCBill with no pre-checked cross-sells
- Discounts on softcore site ($15.95 recurring instead of $34.57)
- Good interaction via website comments system, Twitter etc
- All content is downloadable
Cons:
Points marked * don’t personally bother me:
- The amount of content doesn't currently justify the price
- Hardcore scenes in a minority and seem incomplete
- Sure that a lot of content is recycled from her old site
- Preview section shows 'live' webcam... this is fake
- Slow download speeds compared to other sites
- Navigation is not very refined and rather inconsistent
- Most galleries don’t have downloadable zip files
- Some galleries you have to download the zip to get all pics
- Lack of download options on videos (one format, one size)
- Large watermarks on images
- Excessive Photoshop filters on images
- Automatically generated username/password*
Bottom Line:
I’ve followed Ann since before she even went topless, so to say I was excited by the prospect of her going hardcore would be an understatement. Sadly, at the moment her website is currently pretty disappointing.
Joining is simple. They warn you to make sure your phone number is correct as they will call to verify you’re a ‘real person’ with the call possibly coming from Ann herself. At no stage is there even the option to provide your phone number, nor (of course) do you get any call.
NAVIGATION:
Unlike her old site, navigation is inconsistent and cluttered. It uses a Wordpress template, and the member’s homepage has the most recent updates featured. You can view photo updates by clicking ‘gallery’ at the top, but to view video updates you have to go and find them – easiest way is clicking ‘updates’ then clicking the ‘videos’ tag on the right.
Other options at the top include news (not updated since November 2012), contacts (web form), webcam (LiveCamNetwork video chat) and her Amazon wish list. Updates are tagged with keywords such as blowjob, toys, video, etc, but the layout isn’t as intuitive or straight-forward as you’d expect. To give a few examples of inconsistency:
Not all galleries have zips. Those that do are only ‘preview galleries’ meaning you have to download the zip. To get into galleries on some pages you can click the thumbnail, but on others this pops up with a preview of the gallery, and you have to click the gallery title instead.
Also, some galleries clicking the photo thumbnail doesn’t take you to the high-res picture, you have to click the thumbnail, then a slightly larger thumbnail to get into the full-size image. So that’s two clicks per photo just to get the high-res image.
It just seems quite cluttered, a problem that will surely get worse as the amount of content increases.
CONTENT:
Currently, there are 44 galleries of around 100 pictures. They’re arranged 12-to-a-page with a thumbnail and gallery number. Photos are downloadable and are 2048px on their longest side and are good quality. Some seem to have been overly Photoshoppedd, and there’s a pretty big (1000px wide) watermark in the bottom right of images regardless of whether it covers anything.
Content-wise, many galleries are shot outside, but the lighting is good and I love the sense of danger this gives. Ann has always been amazing in this aspect, and galleries are shot in broad daylight in extremely racy outfits in public (albeit quiet) parks.
Ann is a confident, charismatic and engaging performer. She has a great body, and her solo stuff is still her strength as her webmaster/photographer/videographer can do her justice in this respect as he’s also the stunt dick which limits his ability to film the action.
Videos are shot from multiple angles, normally from a single fixed camera angle, and then a POV. Although the POV angle is shot with an iPhone, I have to say the quality isn’t too bad.
All are downloadable, and the video is embedded onto the download page as a Flash video which you can skip to any point in while it still loads. The only downloadable format is M4V, and there’s no options for quality which is a bitter pill to swallow when some are over 1.5gb and download speeds are slow at best (150kbps)
THE HARDCORE ASPECT:
Obviously, the selling point of this site is the fact it’s Ann’s gone hardcore.
At the moment, the ratio of hardcore content is pretty disappointing. Gallery-wise, around 10% features hardcore, and there’s three videos on top of this. More disappointing than this is that the hardcore content even in the hardcore galleries is pretty minimal.
Most start off pretty conventionally with her posing, before a few dick-in-mouth style pictures towards the end. The most recent hardcore gallery, for example, has 109 pictures, only 5 feature a dick, then 11 of a few spots of cum on her stomach.
The hardcore aspect seems a bit half-hearted at best. Most of the videos don’t ever really end in a money shot or really any conclusion at all, they just peter out. It’s not even really a case of them teasing us, it just all feels a bit rushed and lackadaisical, although I have to say the most recent video, Street Walker, is a definite stride in the right direction. But one good hardcore video does not a hardcore site make.
UPDATES:
There doesn’t appear to be a published update schedule. In the main, updates are pretty regular and reliable, but at times it can be flaky. All updates are dated, and you’ll normally get at least one or two updates a week, although there have been periods where there haven’t any updates for a ten-or-so day period, and promised updates have been late by several days.
SUMMARY:
Beyond the excitement of Ann going hardcore, the site is bit of a letdown. Recent updates hints that things might get better, but the hardcore content is largely disappointing and makes up a tiny percentage of content. The cluttered navigation and limited download options also frustrate.

Updated:
05-09-1307:27am (Update History) Reason: Some errors in my original review plus additional thoughts after a few months of membership
Pros:
Ann is damn near perfect if slightly off her prime
Excellent image quality
HD Video quality
Cons:
Not much content yet
Updating is a little inconsistant
web cam shows are always the same time (no good for the UK!)
Only zips for the first 10 image galleries
Bottom Line:
I've been a big fan of Anna's for years. Hers was the only "tease" site I have ever had a membership to way back in the days when seeing one of her nipples was a rare occurrence. I guess she was playing the long game as she's gradually been showing more and more over the years and guys like me just keep coming back for more.

I wanted to update this based on a few months of membership.
First off the video quality is much better than I initially stated. Downloads are full hd rather than the low BW streamed ones.
But - the hardcore video is pretty poor as it's all shot by either locked off cameras or handheld iphones. So the action is either low qulity or missed altogether. I mean - she's still got a sweet body but if you want great HardCore this is not the place to go.
The photo shoots are dropping their quality a little too. Almost all outdoors and voyeur style recently and updates are not that regular.
So...if you're a big time Ann fan - still go for it (even if she's not QUITE as hot as he was 10 years ago!!) but....be a little wary.
I left her annangel.com site a while back when the frankly ridiculous piracy protection ruined it. It was a real shame as Anna was putting out some wonderful videos and getting closer and closer to hardcore.
So...I was VERY interested to see the new xxx site but was wary of joining in case the same draconian download restrictions were in place. But - having just joined up I'm pleased to say that all content is downloadable (although only the older galleries have zips).
The site is pretty simple - you can either jump straight to gallery updates, video updates or the blog list which includes both plus some nice little extra comments on photos by the godess herself.
The site is a little too reliant on WordPress so if you want to comment on any posts etc. you have to be logged into both the site AND wordpress.
Overall - this is just all about Anna. She's had once of the hotest bodies on the internet since around 2004 and she's still got it...in spades. With a bit more work the site could be worthy of her...it's just not quite there yet.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Anna is incredibly hot with a fantastic body
- Large archive of content and videos
Cons:
- Unable to save pictures as they're sliced up into mosaics - essentially you cannot save ANY pictures or ANY videos
- No 'new' content being added
- Anna has gone to ground - no updates or interaction from her now
Bottom Line:
This website has had a high fall from grace. It was once one of the best at looking after members, constantly updating - it was a masterclass in amateur websites.
Sadly you are no longer able to save ANY content (not even photos) and Anna and the webmaster no longer seem to care about their members. A real shame.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Anna is 1 sexy little number. I joined her site for the videos and amateurish quality. Many of the videos are shot with her and/or her friends playing around, dancing, then enjoying each other. Many videos are camshow types videos where she is typing, talking, then gets up and dances, striptease, then masturbates.
When I joined, she had over 10GB of video content and over 100 videos posted. She had a number of shoots with Faith of FaithExposed.com and Inbedwithfaith.com. The videos average around 50megs each with some as high as 200megs - timing 5-20 minutes.
Anna is super sexy and really charms up the camera. She just has a lot of fun and has an amazing body.
Cons:
This isn't the greatest model site ever...it's just very good for a one-girl show.
Bottom Line:
See if you can preview her and get a taste for her body, voice, and content. If you like a round booty and a girl that can move...you will not regret joining.
She's really cute and sexy - lots of video and photo content.

Pros:
This site has the archive of Sexy Teen Sandy, including pics, vids and webcam shows
Some of the newer models are hot
Cons:
The main page is completely dishonest:
There are NO live shows
While I'm not looking for Ipod vids, I also consider it completely dishonest when a site advertises them on the home page and doesn't have them anywhere that I can see
The site goes for periods of time with no updates at all
There is no support - e-mails with questions about updates, etc, may as well be sent to your aunt Martha - the one who doesn't own a computer - for all the response you're going to get
Bottom Line:
If you're in love with Sandy and want to see her earlier stuff, this is the place to see it all and at least they haven't eliminated any.
Whenever a star model leaves a company like this, it's a challenge to replace her with other models that will draw people in - all the more reason, I think, to be honest about what you're promising people.
This site started out well after Sandy left, adding frequent updates, as promised of various models, then it started getting all freaky - sometimes whole sections of pics of new models wouldn't even be available.
This is not a dependable site. It's being dishonestly promoted and handled in a clumsy and stupid way.
I can't recommend it to anyone that doesn't crave frustration at this point, though they have the foundation to build something decent if they care to.
