Pros:
- Network of mostly solo/individual models.
- Averages an update every other day (16 in March), all the more impressive considering how long some of the models have been around.
- CCBill is the biller.
- Technical quality is very good, no 4K, but I don't download or watch 4K.
- Very good for collecting types, a few of the models have over 1,000 updates.
- Download speeds are good (80% of my max).
- 13 included sites, will cover in bottom line.
- Mostly MILF type models, going to be nice and say (26-35 age range).
Cons:
- One problem I could see a person having is if they don't like the featured models as those are the ones with thousands of scenes.
- Some of the photos don't have a download feature unless I'm overlooking it. Others do.
- The older sites and sets don't have dates on them. Probably my favorite of the featured models, Ava Dawn, has no dates on her scenes and doesn't look like it's updating.
Bottom Line:
I think I was the first PU member to review this site. I had been a fan of Bryci before the Bella Pass network was formed and still am.
The asterisks are the ones I'm definite are still updating and on Cali Carter, she has one new update this year, so I'm not for sure that can be called updating.
While the updates are not a huge deal on a site like this it's nice to know, especially for collectors, so they can know if there's new content since they last visited.
The models have changed quite a bit since the last time I was here 2012-13 which I think is a positive. It shows the realness of the women. A few of those non-specific model sites are worth checking out too. I like the Joe Perv site and the Bella Next Door one.
Bryci, Talia Shepard, Katie Banks and Alexis Monroe are the main draws. Katie has 1,567 updates, Talia has 446, Alexis has 252 and Bryci has 1,018. Even if you only like 1 that's a lot of exclusive content to get for 1 model. If you like all 4 it's a huge amount of exclusive content.
The videos have what I consider good, standard options of 1080p, 720p and 480p.
The site navigation is very good. You can seamlessly switch from site to site without having to login on each site. It's done from a dropdown box. They have a good, accurate list of categories as well. Being a lover of exhibitionism, I was glad to see they have an exhibitionism category. Of course, I would like to see more of those sets. They have 48 exhibitionism scenes.
By my count, as of April 1, 2020, they have a total of 1,799 videos and 2,234 photo sets. I have checked various photo sets and some do have a download option while others don't. I do think that hurts a little since the photos make up more than 50% of the content. It falls in the hit or miss with downloads. I thought maybe some of the sites had downloads while others don't but I just found a set on Katie Banks site that has downloads, the next Katie Banks photo set I clicked on doesn't have downloads. Same with the newest Katie Banks with 2 having downloads, the other 2 not having downloads.
In some ways, I feel I'm shorting them on overall content count. Maybe some of the sites are not included in the videos and photos tabs? The non-model named sites like Joe Perv and Next Door Bella are small sites with 30-40 scenes on each. I'll mention the Joe Perv site as it has a focus on JOI or JOE, a niche I still believe is greatly underrepresented in porn today. It seems to be the evolution of solo porn but there's not a lot of sites doing it.
I still think Bryci is the best of the models. No offense to the others. I've been viewing her scenes for over a decade. Her site alone would worth joining for me so everything else is a bonus.
It leaves me with an overall feeling that this is an excellent network for those that are fans of the featured models. I can't really say if it would be for those that aren't fans or don't know of the featured models. I even remember back when Talia was first starting out. I'm not as familiar with the others. I have always leaned towards brunettes. There are some fake boobs here but that's always been an indifferent one for me since boobs aren't a favorite of mine.
Most of the deductions from the score are from the inconsistency on downloadable photos and sites that aren't updating. I wouldn't see it as big of a deal if the photos didn't outnumber the videos. If you don't like photos, you can add 5 points to my score. Photo downloads or lack of has been something I consistently take a few points off for not having.
I would say check out the preview if you're unfamiliar with these models.

Pros:
- Network specializes in young busty (usually enhanced) women. There is a good deal of vatiety in content with no particular niche being focused on.
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com and KATIEBANKS.com - both of which are awesome! Along with: Cali Carter, Alexis Monroe, Jana Fox, Talia Shepard, Ava Dawn, Henter Leigh, JOE Perv, Bella Nextdoor, HD19, BellaDH)
- Max video quality is great: 4K 1920X1080 7.7 mb/s. Other options available for those of us on older systems and those with limited hard drive space
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- about 50 pictures a set
- Just under 1,500 pix sets
- 1,825 video updates as of February 9, 2020
- Update schedule: 2-4/week
- camming is partnered with chaturbate I think that means extra charges. I'm not a camming guy so I have no interest.
- Billing through CCBill
Cons:
PROS CONT:
- Good organization though tagging/keyworkds and member ratings
- Comments available on videos, I find this very helpful in sorting what's download worthy.
- Well priced
- Some exhibitionism content (big plus for me)
- Some light girl/girl action (rare)
- Fair mix of boy/girl and solo
- Videos are 10-20 minutes
- Varied setups and interesting mini plots
CONS:
- more use of dildo instead of real thing than I would have gone with
- (old stuff) sometimes spotty lighting. It's rare and unavoidable in a pro-am site.
- This is not a site of extremes. You'll find very little threeways and I don't remember seeing any orgies. (Not really a con - just a description)
Bottom Line:
At $25 with renueal rate of $20/month I think this network is a damn good deal. There's plenty to enjoy and the talent is beutiful. The ameature girls can be a little hit and miss but that's the fun of ameature - variety 😃
Each girl seems to be in charge of her own site so there's a good amount of variety (some are mostly solo, others are lots of hardcore) I had a multi-moth membership and will certainly include this as something to return to over time.
I give this network a solid buy.
As you can see from the high score, there's very little to imporve on.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- Great looking model. She's described as a teen. She certainly is no older than early 20s, and absolutely stunning.
- Max video quality is great: 4K 1920X1080 7.7 mb/s. Other options available for those of us on older systems and those with limited hard drive space
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- about 50 pictures a set
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com and KATIEBANKS.com those sites really drive the network)
- camming is partnered with chaturbate I think that means extra charges. I'm not a camming guy so I have no interest.
Cons:
- 15 videos, seems like they're no longer updating
- software content. Lots of stripping.
- shorter videos, generally under 10 minutes
- Good organization though tagging/keywords and member ratings (not that it's needed with the smaller catalog)
- Comments available on videos, I find this very helpful in sorting what's download worthy.
- Well priced
- 38 picture sets
Bottom Line:
I love Hunter's face. She is a real beauty. He picture sets really let that beauty shine, my hat's off to her and her photographer.
As you might guess the problem with this site is the lack of content. While I love the network and will rejoin it again in the future. There's just not enough of Hunter to warrant a score in the 80s.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- Katie is beautiful. She has a petit frame with large implants that were very well done (minimum scaring)
- Katie does plenty of BTS shooting it's clear she has a sense of humor and enjoys making her content. This is always a big plus for me
- Max video quality is great: 4K 1920X1080 7.7 mb/s. Other options available for those of us on older systems and those with limited hard drive space
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- about 50 pictures a set
- Just about 420 pix sets
- 555 video updates as of January 31, 2020
- Update schedule: 1/week (sometimes more!)
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com is especially good)
- camming is partnered with chaturbate I think that means extra charges. I'm not a camming guy so I have no interest.
Cons:
PROS CONT:
- Good organization though tagging/keywords and member ratings
- Comments available on videos, I find this very helpful in sorting what's download worthy.
- Well priced
- Some exhibitionism content (big plus for me)
- For a solo site more anal action than I expected
- Some light girl/girl action (rare)
- Fair mix of boy/girl and solo
- Videos are 10-20 minutes
- Varied setups and interesting mini plots
CONS:
- more use of dildo instead of real thing than I would have gone with
- Pix sets can sometime be repetitive. There sets sometimes include 5-6 of the same pose with only a facial expression or head tilt of difference. I guess everyone likes something different.
Bottom Line:
This is one of the real gems of this network. I thought about staying around longer and will definitely keep this in my rotation. There's a lot of good stuff. If you're of glamour (well put together outfits/make-up) big breasted solo sites this one is worth the money. It has a good size library and the rest of the network is solid. I rate it a solid buy.
One other point of distinction: I would call this a solo site and not an amateur site. The difference being an amateur site might have fun "day in the life/look at me without my make-up" content. This is more produced, Katie does behind the scenes but the bread and butter of this site is well put together fun shoots. They seem to go through just about every popular culture reference and motif. I really like it

Pros:
- Bryci is gorgous. In her earlier work (1st update was back in 2014). She had the clasic busty porn star look. Today She looks more curvy, I guess the term thick is also used. I want to be clear she looks amazing she has perfect proportions and reminds me of sexy pin up girls in the 40s-60s
- Ava seems to really enjoy her site and it shows in her smile and work
- Max video quality is great: 4K 1920X1080 7.7 mb/s. Other options available for those of us on older systems and those with limited hard drive space
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- about 50 pictures a set
- Just under 300 pix sets
- 150 video updates as of January 24, 2020
- Update schedule: 1/week
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com and KATIEBANKS.com - both of which are awesome!)
- camming is partnered with chaturbate I think that means extra charges. I'm not a camming guy so I have no interest.

- Well priced
- Some exhibitionism content (big plus for me)
- Some light girl/girl action (rare)
- Fair mix of boy/girl and solo
- Videos are 10-20 minutes
- Varied setups and interesting mini plots
CONS:
- I guess I could say I'd like to have more content. But that's kinda cheap. I always want more contents. LOL.
- more use of dildo instead of real thing than I would have gone with
- (old stuff) sometimes spotty lighting. It's rare and unavoidable in a pro-am site.
Bottom Line:
I REALLY like this site. I think the price is fair. I love Bryci's personality and energy. I like that she has a woman's body.
Bryci experiments with a variety of costums and wigs it's remarkable all the different super heros, movie stars, and characters she can take on with just costum, make-up and hair changes. I found all this a lot of fun.
There's really nothing about this site I don't like. I think it's a solid buy.
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Talia is young (I'm guessing early 20s 🤷â€â™‚ï¸), beautiful, very BUSTY (I'm guessing implants
- Ava seems to really enjoy her site and it shows in her smile and work
- Max video quality is great: 1920X1080 7.7 mb/s. There's 14 4K videos available. I'm still in 1080 HD land and suspect so are many others.
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- about 50 pictures a set
- Just under 300 pix sets
- 144 video updates as of January 15, 2020
- Update schedule: 1/week
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com and KATIEBANKS.com - both of which are awesome!)

- Well priced
Cons:
Pro Cont:
- Some exhibitionism content (big plus for me)
- Some light girl/girl action (rare)
- Fair mix of boy/girl and solo
Cons:
- clips are not dates so I'm not sure what the update schedule looks like
- videos run 3-15 minutes (there a lot of vatieation. Newer stuff is generally longer)
- While it's clear Talia is having fun, there's very little personality. It reminds me of the sites in the 90s where it was enough for a hot ameature model to put up some pictures and videos. Most sites today have more interaction this is omitted here).
Bottom Line:
This is a solid site and Talia is very talented. She can sometime put together a really hot scene with a bit of a set up and plot. Most of the time it's either her or her lover enjoying themselves and being a little goofy - it's sweet.
I'm normally a vidoe guy - but the photo sets in this site are really great and I've downloaded way more than I typically do from a site. I esspecially like the imagination and costumes. Sadly I was first introduced to Talia by seeing her Slave Leia pictures poste on tumber/twitter. I'm guessing without authorization - since the water mark was missing. I'm glad I found her site and was able to support the work that goes into production. If you join don't neglect the pictures!
I'm a little disappointed in the amoung of content available. It would be nice if they were updating faster.
All in all this is a hot woman with a decent site. There's nothing extraordinary. It's not bad it's not the best I've seen. It's a solid B. Nothing to be ashamed about, but nothing standout either. The big plus is there's a good network to underly the site so there's plenty here for your very reasonable membership cost.

Pros:
- Ava is a beautiful BUSTY young lady with some small discreet tattoos (no heavily tatted at all. I know some are very opinionatied on this I am not)
- Ava seems to really enjoy her site and it shows in her smile and work
- Max video quality is great: 1280X720 7.7 mb/s. There's no 4K yet. I'm still in 1080 HD land and suspect so are many others.
- Picture sets really shine zips are available and photos are very high quality 4000X2662, 72 pixel/inch, 2mb file size
- Includes access to belle network; 14 sites (including BRYCI.com and KATIEBANKS.com - both of which are awesome!)
- camming is partnered with chaturbate I think that means extra charges. I'm not a camming guy so I have no interest. (I didn't see Ava's profile there, but maybe I missed it?)
- Good organization though tagging/keyworkds and member ratings
- Comments available on videos, I find this very helpful in sorting what's download worthy.
- Well priced
- Sadly I've run out of good things to say 😞
-
Cons:
- Almost 50 video updates as of January 6, 2020
- Almost 50 pix updates as of January 6, 2020
- clips are not dates so I'm not sure what the update schedule looks like
- videos run 3-10 minutes (generally)
- mostly modeling/some masturbation stuff
- While it's clear Ava is having fun, you don't really get to know her in any way.
Bottom Line:
A good ameature site that suffers from a rather small catelogue. They're doing everything right, they just need more of it. That said some of the quality (usually lighting) could use an upgrade, but it's perfectly acceptable in an ameature site.
I'm enjoying this network they specialize in hot busty women. The sites seem to be owner operated, which I really like. The web layout looks exactly like New Sensations I don't know if they just used the same company or if there is some sort of affiliation.
Bottom line: While there may be a good network under assocated with this site. This particular one is a skip. It's nice to have it thrown in but there isn't enough here to keep up.
I like the focus on photography and I may add some of these shoots into a slide show, with not yet 50 videos/pictures the offering are just too scant.
I feel like this review hasn't said as much as most of my others, I think that's a refection of the lack of content. I really hope that changes down the road.

Pros:
* reasonable pricing
* excellent unique niche content
* good download and streaming speed
* good amount of B/G content >80 videos
* still updating pictures regularly

* search function average (but new site design will improve)
Bottom Line:
Absolutely would recommend based on value for money.
Download speed and quality of movies is excellent.
Nice to see a husband wife who enjoy what they are doing. Really I cannot fault the site in many ways, I am very happy I joined. Give it a go!
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
The site has really attractive models, especially the stars of the site Bryci and Katie Banks.
The updates are pretty regular and high quality, and the models are always adventurous in their content, moving from non-nude to hardcore, girl-girl, boy-girl and anal with a captivating swiftness.
Bryci also recently started doing threesomes, and Katie Banks went hardcore -this is a really promising direction for the site to be going in.
The photography is of a very classy quality and the video is 4K (not necessary, but nice). The site's emphasis is definitely on video these days, with multiple updates per week, but the best content, in my opinion, is the still photography of Bryci. Regardless, the quality of the videos has increased exponentially in the last several years, and the 4K DSLR video is very good.
Cons:
The user experience has left me feeling pretty sour over the years. I've had my account cancelled without inquiry while traveling -if this is such a big deal, why not just make the site impossible to open, but not punish for it? Don't just cancel my account -that's uncivil. It's fun to look at porn while in a hotel. That said, other sites have more pragmatic responses to this issue, and they've never killed my membership.
I've also had membership privileges revoked recently -photo and video links going dead -and based on the other reviews here, it was probably due to downloading too much content. Which seems absurd to me (echoing other comments here) because I download a video once or twice a week, and only when there's something new.
The webmaster may say this is on me, that I really am breaking the rules, but honestly for this to be THE TOP COMPLAINT here, there really is an underlying issue on your end. I'm not a dishonest reviewer.
Bottom Line:
Bellapass is in many ways a paradise of sex kittens on the internet. Bryci and Katie Banks are incredibly hot models with charming personalities. That said, I wish that the polished, stylish face of the site was matched by a more diplomatic attitude towards its users within its walls.
I've reached out to the site with my complaints in the past, but the webmaster's attitude has honestly bothered me. Based on the other reviews and responses here, it's clear the issues that I'm voicing are common complaints, and not unique to my personal experience.
All that aside, the models are some of the hottest in the business, and the content is some of the best of its kind. Whenever there's new content, I sign back up, because it's just that good. I just hope others have a more positive membership experience than me.

See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
A note on Bella Network's piracy policy: Bella Network has a very strict piracy policy. They are extremely clear with this when you join. Sometimes legitimate members MIGHT get blocked - Bella have have made improvements to their customer service so that this can easily be investigated and rectified.
Bottom Line:
I’ll cut to the chase and say this is one of the best amateur solo model websites I have ever joined.
It has all the benefits of a solo model website (personality, insight into the model etc) while being part of a slick, regularly updated network.
Membership includes access to the following bonus sites:
Katie Banks - very similar to Bryci, with content being softcore Talia Shepard - you’ll probably like Talia if you like Bryci - softcore Hunter Leigh - beautiful model, relatively new. Nudity but no toys
Lexi Mason - extremely petite, relatively new to Bella Ava Dawn - site no longer updating but has over 50 videos
Monroe Lee - super-curvy but site no longer updating
If you like Bryci, Talia Shepard and Katie Banks are from the same mould. Bryci’s site is currently the only one with hardcore content, but both Talia and Katie’s sites are comparable size-wise to Bryci’s.
You can browse content from the whole network, or just Bryci’s site using a drop down in the top right. You also have a very good search function where you can search by niche or by site.
Bryci has the usual sections for photos and video content, but in addition to this:
BIO: A hugely comprehensive biography. Features her essential statistics but also a very, very in-depth profile with information about her and her site.
CANDIDS: 71 candid galleries featuring Bryci. Some are her out and about or on holiday, many are self-shot pics featuring her in various states of undress.
BLOG: Regularly updated and from what I can tell, actually written by Bryci. Includes personal updates, previews of forthcoming galleries etc, and various candid photos.
BABECHAT: Video web chat featuring models from Bella Network. Bryci doesn’t seem to be on the schedule, but Talia Shepard and Katie Banks make frequent appearances. She might be just taking a few weeks off, though, as there are plenty of videos of her in the archive.
WALLS: Lots and lots of stylised wallpapers.
PHOTOS:
Currently 308 galleries, approximately 80 photos each. If you hover over the gallery thumbnails they animate to show a sample of images inside. You can sort galleries by most recent or by name.
All images are downloadable, feature a small, translucent watermark and can either be viewed at 1500px or 4000px. Zips are not available, and batch download programmes are prohibited, which is a big mark against the site as it’s hugely time-consuming to download images. You can’t right-click thumbnails and download link because the high-res images are placed onto a web page, so you’d download this, not the image. It makes the concept of even downloading a sample of images quite a bewildering prospect. The majority of the points deducted from giving the site a perfect score are because of this, and I’m not even a huge photo collector.
Currently there are no hardcore galleries. Most galleries feature Bryci enjoying her own company in the form of strip-tease and/or masturbation with or without toys. She’s extremely charismatic in front of the camera and oozes confidence. Most updates are shot in and around the house in the bedroom, bathroom etc, but any updates outside are well-lit and still very polished.
VIDEO:
Currently 341 videos including webchat archives and behind-the-scenes. The video pages again feature animating thumbnails, but the animation generally only shows the first part of the video. Webchat archives and BTS are mixed in with the standard videos which is a minor niggle. You can either stream a Flash video (skipping to any part as it loads) or download the video in a number of sizes/formats:
* As of March 2013, WMV is no longer being added, but it is still available on older updates
Videos are excellently shot. The majority are softcore with Bryci stripping and playing with toys or masturbating, recent videos feature hardcore. Currently there are six hardcore videos (since March) so although there’s not too much at the moment, it’s being added frequently so will build up quickly.
The first two were artistically shot (in the dark or behind shower curtain), and although and the next was poorly lit, the others are well shot. Most hardcore has so far been POV, but the most recent had a version shot POV, and one from a second camera. Bryci’s foray into hardcore is confident and assertive, and although already impressive, I’m sure technically the videos will improve in terms of lighting, angles etc as more and more content is added.
Most videos are in the region of 10-15 minutes long. Webcam videos are also mixed in with video updates and are around an hour long.
SUMMARY:
Bryci is wonderful, and her site does her justice. There’s a lot of bonus content on her site, and plenty of relevant bonus sites you’ll like if you like Bryci. The difficulty of saving images is a big mark against the site, while most other criticisms are minor at best.

See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
Bella Pass sites have a very clear but strict download policy. Be careful not to exceed their download limits. Improvements have been made to the network's customer service to deal with legitimate members who might accidentally get blocked (it hasn't happened to me yet on this membership term).
Bottom Line:
Talia Shepard is a curvy 28GG model, part of the massively impressive Bella Pass network to which you get immediate access. Her site is the third largest in the network and has 8,808 photos, and 208 videos (of which 45 are HD, 114 are webcam archive videos and 19 are behind the scenes footage).
Talia is a confident performer who does strip tease, masturbation with toys and soft lesbian action. She has also had a boob job with her site offering content both pre- and post-boob job with about 70% of the content being since the enlargement. I have to say I definitely preferred her before and she had good size boobs even before the enlargement. Obviously this is just personal preference, and the preview is clear enough for people to make their own decisions.
The site is extremely easy to navigate. Once you log in, the member’s homepage shows updates from across the entire network. You can go to just Talia’s member area by using a drop-down top right, or search and/or filter updates by site/update type at the top.
The content is divided into various categories in addition to the usual photo and video sections.
She has a blog which is constantly updated by Talia herself. Lots of candid snaps from her phone, updates from her life (whether she’s ill, going on a trip etc), and also personal blog posts (eg her favourite tweets from fans over the last week). It’s always good to see a blog on a solo site, but even more impressive to see it’s actually updated.
BTS has behind the scenes footage from video and photo shoots. This is an impressive feature and shows Talia and the girls who often join her enjoying sessions.
Talia also takes part in video blogs. There’s not a separate section for these, so you’ll have to search for videos tagged with ‘Video Blog’, but they’re well worth watching, and, in addition to the blog, candids, behind the scenes footage and her Twitter feed, all give a great insight into the life of Talia. For me, this is a huge plus and surely helps build the model a huge following as I’m not alone in liking models beyond their physical attributes.
There are many thousands of photos on Talia’s website. All are downloadable, but you can’t use batch downloaders and zip files are not available. Even for someone like me who doesn’t download everything, the prospect of so many photos to download is quite bewildering (to the point I’ve only downloaded video content).
The gallery homepage has 20 galleries per page with thumbnails that animate on mouse-over to show a slideshow of photos inside. Inside, photos are arranged 20 to a page, and you have the option to toggle between showing photos at 4000px on their longest side, or low-fi 1500px.
You have the option to rate, add to favourites and comment. The date the gallery was added is shown along with a short description and the categories that apply to the gallery.
Pictures are well shot, include a small, unobtrusive watermark and often show excellent close-ups of various parts of Talia in various stages of undress or enjoying her own company.
Video content is similar. Again, videos are arranged 20 to a page and thumbnails animate to show a vague idea of what the video is about. You can watch a Flash version online, or can download an impressive number of formats and file sizes, including:
* As of March 2013, WMV is no longer being added as it’s becoming a redundant file format, but it is still available on older updates
The videos are a good mix of striptease, masturbation with toys and soft lesbian-style action with Bryci and/or Katie Banks who, it has to be said, are all fairly similar looks-wise. There’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s all very impressive and obviously car wash, whipped cream and mock BJs with dildo videos are popular for a reason and Talia ticks all of these boxes.
For photos and videos, the locations are varied. Many are bedroom, bathroom or anywhere else around the house. There’s a few updates from the pool and a few vaguely public but nothing too outrageous in this respect.
Talia also takes part in Babe Chat, along with Katie Banks. Her shows are typically at 2pm EST which is a good time for European members as that’s early evening. There’s a full archive of her shows, which are all downloadable as Flash files, each around an hour long. You can also watch them from an embedded flash file on the site, which you can skip to any point in while it loads.
Overall, this is an impressive, polished website with a lot of content. It comes with access to Bella Pass which is a very impressive network including at least two active girls who are very similar to Talia. If you don’t care for bonus sites, then Talia’s website is more than self-sufficient with lots of videos, photos, frequent updates and lots of bonus content which gives you a real insight into Talia herself.

See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
Bottom Line:
After Bryci, Katie Banks and Talia Shepard, Hunter Leigh’s website might come as bit of a disappointment. Her site is a bit cast in the shadows of the holy trinity of those three and although her site has regular updates, the lion’s share of updates across the network are for Bryci, Katie Banks and Talia Shepard, so the gulf of difference looks to increase over time rather than decrease.
Navigation-wise it is identical to all the other Bella Pass sites, which is to say it’s excellent and very refined. With your membership you get access to the whole Bella Pass which includes:
Bryci - biggest site on the network, now featuring HC content Katie Banks - looks fairly similar to Bryci, 2nd largest in network Talia Shepard - similar to Katie again, frequent updates
Lexi Mason - extremely petite, relatively new to Bella Ava Dawn - site no longer updating but has over 50 videos
Monroe Lee - super-curvy but site no longer updating
I think Hunter is actually one of the most beautiful on Bella Pass. She is slim, and although she has fake boobs, they're pretty natural looking.
Currently there are 1,683 photos across 28 galleries, and 3 videos. Out of all the Bella Pass websites (updating and not), her site is the smallest. Updates are approximately weekly.
When you log in, you land on the Bella Pass member’s homepage which displays updates from across all sites. At the top there’s a drop-down you can select to go directly to Hunter Leigh’s membership area, or any of the other models/sites in the network.
You can view updates by type (photos, videos, etc), or search by category and/or site. The navigation is incredibly refined, particularly when you factor in the amount of content across the entire network.
Currently there’s three videos. The run time ranges from around 2- to 4-minutes which, again, doesn't compare favourably to other sites in the network (normally around 10-minutes). From the video homepage, you can hover over the thumbnails and they’ll show a slideshow of frames from the video by means of a preview.
Movies are basically videos of photo sessions, with her moving from pose-to-pose with the camera flash going off. Hopefully now that Hunter has made the move to Bella Pass, the video content will improve. Quality is decent, all videos are downloadable and there is a Flash video embedded onto the site which you can skip to any point in while it loads.
Downloadable formats include:
- 3GP (352x288)
- Flash (900x506)
- MP4 (1280x720 and 640x360)
- WMV* (1280x720 and 640x360)
* WMV videos are likely not to be added to future updates in line with other Bella Pass sites.
Gallery-wise, there’s currently 28 galleries. From the gallery homepage, like the videos, you can hover over the thumbnail and it'll animate to show a general gist of what's inside.
Galleries are around 80 to 100 pictures large, but zips aren't available. Most galleries have the option to view/save images as 1500px and 4000px on their longest side, but a few (presumably older ones) only have the 1500px option – they're in the minority, though.
Photos are definitely this site’s strength with the galleries being fantastically well shot, and Hunter looking effortlessly beautiful in front of the camera. Sets are shot in a variety of locations ranging from bedrooms to bathrooms, and also venturing outside, but not in public. All are well lit and great quality, with images watermarked in colour with the site logo (approximately 350-400px wide, but non-intrusively placed). Her site is a lot softer than Bryci or Katie's sites and focuses on strip-tease (no toys/masturbation/spreading) but she is fully nude and shows everything.
Beyond photos and videos, there’s currently not much else in the way of content. If you are joining Hunter’s site as a solo site, you will miss features like behind the scenes, candids and webcam archives as features like this to me make an amateur site an amateur site as you get to know the model – currently there’s not much opportunity to do this on Hunter’s site.
Although Hunter herself can more than hold her own against the other models in the network, currently her site can’t. My review probably sounds a bit negative, but as she’s new to the network, my score and opinion will go up as the amount of content does. I just hope her site isn't overlooked in favour of other Bella Pass sites.
Currently, there’s not as much content, fewer updates and less features.
I think in a few months her site will become more self-sufficient in terms of updates because it is regularly being updated. I think once this happens, the score will climb by at least 5.
Add some ‘personality’ to the site by means of more natural videos, candids (if she’s comfortable with this) or behind-the-scenes footage, and the score will probably climb by another 5.
At the moment Hunter’s site is a great bonus site, but if you’re joining for just Hunter, her site will probably leave you wanting more

Pros:
- Excellent balance of photos, videos and bonus content
- Consistent quality of content throughout the sites
- Membership to 7 solo sites, 5 of which are regularly updated
- Updates are dated (including recent updates in Preview area)
- Good mix of girls – huge, buxom babes and more petite girls too
- Easy navigation, whether across whole network or by site
- You seem to stay logged in without username/password prompts
- CCBill with no pre-checked cross-sells
- Outstanding softcore content, and Bryci now does hardcore
- Webmaster is very ‘hands on’ and keen to listen to feedback
Cons:
Mostly minor. Points marked with * don't personally bother me:
- Video previews are a bit limited
- Regional pricing
- No ZIP files for photo galleries
- Most updates biased towards Bryci, Katie and Talia
- Automatically generated username/password*
- Download limit of 20gb per 24 hour hour period*
- Some might find content a bit samey as mostly softcore*
- 6 of the 7 models appear to have fake boobs*
- Very strict piracy policy that might catch out innocent members
Bottom Line:
This is a huge network of high quality solo websites. You can either join via the girls’ individual website, or direct via Bella Pass – either way you get instant access to every site in the network.
Content is all dated and downloadable. The network takes a hard line against piracy – there’s a download limit of 20gb per 24 hour, and they’re clear and transparent about their policies with warnings before and after you join, and in the confirmation email you receive.
Browsing the network, you have the following categories across the top:
Photos, Candids, Videos, Behind the Scenes, Archives, Babechat, Vlogs, Our Sites, Our Models, Wallpapers and Bella Webcams.
There is also a very well designed search function where you can also search by category (eg, masturbation, hardcore etc) and by site. You can also view just a single site using a drop-down menu.
VITAL STATS:
Bella Pass currently has 52,006 photos, and 941 videos, of which:
All sites have categories for photos and videos. In addition to this:
- Bryci, Katie, Talia, Monroe and Ava also have webcam archives
- Bryci, Katie, Talia and Ava have behind the scenes content
- Bryci, Katie and Talia have regularly updated blogs
- Bryci and Katie have in-depth bios and also wallpapers
Video content is downloadable in the following formats:
(WMV doesn’t appear to be available for Bryci’s newer hardcore content)
Photos are normally 4000px on their widest side, although 1500px on candid galleries.
SUMMARY OF EACH SITE/GIRL:
BRYCI is the most popular girl on the network on the basis of content alone. She is absolutely stunning and has an incredible body. Her boobs are fake but despite being gigantic don’t appear disproportionately large.
Her site is mainly stripteasing and softcore such as masturbation/toys, but she is making her first moves into hardcore with two videos already posted within the last week. Both have been artistically shot, but it’s the perfect tease as they introduce us to hardcore Bryci, and future videos will show everything, including POV.
In addition to this, there is lots and lots of behind the scenes footage, candids and a regularly updated blog. Bryci’s site on its own is one of the finest solo sites out there.
KATIE BANKS is a curvy but slim big-boobed babe with bags of confidence. Her site is the second-largest on the network with a great mix of videos, photos and bonus content. You can read more about Katie Banks in my review.
TALIA SHEPARD is cast from the same mould as Katie and Bryci. Her site is packed with photos, videos but also candids and behind the scenes footage. Like Katie and Bryci, she has substantial fake boobs, but unlike those two, she got hers mid-way through the site. Approximately 70% of the galleries include her fake boobs, the rest feature her more natural (and rather lovely!) cleavage.
LEXI MASON is, unlike the other models here, petite and all natural. She is an absolute stunner with a gorgeous complexion, perky boobs and is a refreshing change from her less natural colleagues. Unfortunately her site shows up one of the weaknesses with Bella Pass in that it seems a bit overlooked compared to the ‘big three’ – her site is relatively new, and regularly updated (once a week), but not quite with the regularity of the others.
HUNTER LEIGH is also a relatively new model to the network. The content is softer (no toys/masturbation/spreading), but she's stunning,. Her website doesn't have much content yet, and lacks the bonus features from the other sites. You can read more about Hunter Leigh in my review.
MONROE LEE is a pretty blonde with a massively curvy body and fake boobs. Although her site includes pictures and videos, it is no longer being updated and quality isn’t up to the standard of other sites in the network. It’s not bad, but it feels a lot more amateur, and although this is a great bonus site, it’s hard to be too enthusiastic about a model when the site is no longer updating.
AVA DAWN is another big-breasted babe. Her site is no longer updating but there is a good amount of great quality content available, including webcam archives and behind the scenes footage. Like Monroe’s site, this is a great bonus site on top of five that are regularly being updated.

A note on Bella Network's piracy policy: Bella Network has a very strict piracy policy. They are extremely clear with this and spell it out in black and white prior to joining, in the confirmation email, and on the site. Occasionally legitimate members MIGHT get blocked - Bella have listened to member feedback and have made improvements to their customer service so that this can easily be investigated and rectified.
Bottom Line:
Katie has an incredible body, lots of enthusiasm and her site, like all in the Bella Network, is slick, high quality but still has the character of a amateur solo model site.
Once you're in the member's area, you see content and updates across the whole Network. You can filter by photos, videos, behind the scenes and archives, and sort by date or name.
You can also choose to view updates from a single site (ie, just Katie's) and there's also a search function where you can filter by category, or search by site. It's the same navigation style as Tia Ling's website, but it has been set up properly with content correctly categorised.
Currently the site advertises 13,738 photos, and 287 videos (51,445 photos and 935 videos across the network). On average, there's at least an update a day across the whole network, a consistent history of updates, and probably on average an update every 2-3 days on Katie's site alone including bonus content.
Bella Network is the best network of solo websites I have ever been a member of.
Katie is a softcore model. Most content is shot in and around the Bella Network house, so often in the bedroom, bathroom etc. Content includes masturbation, extreme close-ups of her tits, between her legs etc. Often sets will be a strip tease and masturbation from normal outfits or lingerie, but there's also themed sets such as Wonderwoman, Mistress etc.
Across the top are the following options:
VIDEOS: Currently 117 videos. When you click into 'videos', there are 20 updates per page with a short description, running time, date added, member's rating and an animated thumbnail when you hover over it. Click into the update, and there is a very short and rather generic description with the option to add to favourites or view comments.
You can watch the video as a Flash video (which you can skip to any point in, even when loading), or can download in many, many different formats, including:
Video size ranges from around 100-500mb - a superb range of options. Most follow the usual striptease then play formula, but there's a lot of more specialised videos such as focusing on her (ample!) boobs.
The most annoying aspect of the animated thumbnails is that they only reflect the first few minutes, so don't really show you much about the video. The best way to preview the video is with the Flash video, but of course that involves extra clicks which all add up when you consider the amount of content.
The video section also includes behind the scenes videos.
ARCHIVE: Currently 138 webcam videos. Most a decent, if slightly grainy quality and have approximately an hour's running time. Videos are downloadable in Flash format (approximately 250mb).
PHOTOS: Currently 179 galleries, averaging around 100 photos. Galleries are arranged as 20 per page with a thumbnail, description and date. The thumbnail animates when you hover over it so you can get a gist of the gallery.
Click into a gallery, and pictures are arranged as thumbnails with 20 per page, a short description and the option to view photos as 1500px- or 4000px-wide when you click on thumbnails.
Zips aren't available due to piracy concerns, and you can't right-click thumbnails and 'save target as' because the full-size photo is on a webpage, not just a JPG on its own. There is a medium-sized translucent watermark on full size images.
This might seem an unusual complaint, but Katie has a large mole under on her left boob. From what I can tell this is photoshopped out of all photos, but obviously appears in vids.
BIO: Vital stats and a very impressive and in-depth, 800-word biography - not the usual banal "I like sex" (although of course this is touched upon).
BLOG: Frequently updated, and as far as I can tell, by Katie herself. This is also very in-depth, features previews and personal thoughts.
CANDIDS: Currently 139 galleries of varying sizes. Features trips to zoos etc, flashing in public and self-shoot topless/nude pics. Very impressive.
BABECHAT: Chatroom for Bella models. Katie Banks and Bryci both take part in chats every couple of days, normally at either 7pm or 9pm EST.
Also included is WALLPAPERS/FAN ART and BELLA WEBCAMS (live sex chat webcams).
BELLA NETWORK: If you like Katie, you'll love the other sites:
Bryci - biggest site on the network, comparable to Katie Hunter Leigh - beautiful model, relatively new to Bella
Lexi Mason - extremely petite, relatively new to Bella
Talia Shephard - similar to Katie again, frequent updates Ava Dawn - site no longer updating but has over 50 videos
Monroe Lee - super-curvy but site no longer updating
This is a fantastic site, part of a fantastic network. Some might find some of the content network-wide a bit samey, but this is a high quality network with high quality models and a great mix of content, including great peeks into the model's lives via candids/BTS.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Fairly large network of 6 solo model sites and 1 multi-model site.
- High quality on nearly all sites.
- Network is an even better value if you like the models that have a high amount of content. I will list amounts of content for each site in the BL.
- Seems to be quite a bit of interaction with the models.
- Download speeds will vary from site to site, but never drops to a bad level.
- Navigation is excellent for a network, it includes and easy to use drop-down box that allows you to move from site to site without the hassle of signing in on each.
- I personally find all of the models attractive.
- No cross-sales on registration and ads are non-existent in members area as well. It's one of those sites that should get some bonus points for clean site design without annoyances.
- There is some, though not a lot, more hardcore scenes on the sites. So it's not all just softcore or just masturbation.
Cons:
- The webmaster explained in replies of my Bryci review. There are no photo zips. If nothing else, I feel like it should be mentioned since photo collectors will see that as a dealbreaker.
- Download limit has been raised to 12 GB per day and I really don't see it as that bad unless you download the 1920x1080 files. I've somehow found moderation in my downloading over the years and am having no trouble with the download limit.
Bottom Line:
I did a separate review for the Bryci site which is included in this network. I felt like it was quite a bit better than the other sites and deserved it's own standalone review. First thing I'm going to do is list the numbers for each site. I will count these numbers by using a manual method of X amount of scenes per page multiplied by number of pages. I will use this method of describing them (standard video = masturbation/tease. BTS = Behind the Scenes. Webcam = webcam archive)
Ava Dawn - 32 standard videos, 15 BTS, 4 Webcam, 42 photo sets.
Bella Girlfriends - 7 standard videos, 61 photo sets Bryci - See my separate review. This is by far the largest site in the network. The numbers are for combined types of videos (329) and photo sets (280) candid photo sets (62) Hunter Leigh - 24 photo sets, 0 videos. Katie Banks - standard videos (112), Webcam (127), photo sets (172), candid photo sets (131)
Lexi Mason - standard videos (16), photo sets (28)
Monroe Lee - standard videos (18), webcam (25), photo sets (111). candid photo sets (5) Talia Shepard - standard videos (49), BTS (19), Webcam (112), Photo sets (118), candid photo sets (38).
If you notice one model missing, Renna Ryan, the content was up the first few days I was a member, now the site is giving me a "content not available" message when I sign in. She also is no longer listed in the BellaGirls, so I guess that was just bad timing since it was there just a few days ago.
I bring this up because Renna was an extra selling point for me since I have always liked her. On the other hand, the site was relatively small and the last 6-8 videos were during her pregnancy. Overall, her site was a disappointment so I don't think you're going to miss it much.
If you will also notice, several of the models have more webcam archived videos than anything else. I do like these, but there's no way, short of watching everyone of them to say what percentage is just talking or teasing or masturbation.
I was not familiar with any of these models except the aforementioned Renna Ryan and Talia Shepard. Talia's site is above average, so if you like her it's worth noting that it's one of the bigger sites on the network. I even found a new one I'll be watching for more content of, Ava Dawn, who I wasn't the least bit familiar with.
I went to the oldest videos on each site and it looks like all standard videos have the full selection of video options. I'll list them again:
MP4 - 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x360
WMV - 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x360
Flash - 900x506
3GP - 352x288
As I mentioned in the Bryci review, I prefer the Flash ones for the combination of good quality and the files are not overly large. If anyone has trouble playing Flash videos, I use either VLC or Windows Media Classic Home Cinema.
The content mostly follows the same path from site to site. It's mostly softcore teasing and masturbation. I'm not for sure if the hardcore number is high since several of the hardcore scenes I had seen on here were on the Renna Ryan site.
Picture sets have a viewing option of 1500x933 or vice versa and 4000x26xx or vice versa. These pictures are very good, look to be professional shot so without zips, you're going to need to be ready to right click, save as on the ones you like.
The webcam videos are decent quality, look to be in the 360-480p range and are entertaining.
It's worth noting that several of these models, Bryci, Talia especially, have very good personalities and can pull off these 40ish minute webcam shows without a hitch. I still haven't seen a live webcam show, but it's more based on me never having a chance to sit down and watch one, so these archived ones are a nice addition.
As a whole, the network averages over 1 update per day. In the most recent months, there are these numbers.
January 1-28: 39 updates.
December 2012: 47 updates.
November 2012: 39 updates.
So it's an active network as you can see. I will touch on the no zips one last time since I think the Hunter Leigh site shows the downside of no zips. It has no videos, 24 photo sets and no zip downloads. She's a very pretty/cute model, but without anything to download, I probably won't visit it for more than a few views of pictures with nothing left to show for the membership to it.
I do think this network as a whole is good though. It helps that I really like Bryci and Talia Shepard. Having their videos in a high number like the network has offsets the cons. I don't think Renna's site would have helped or hurt the score any since it did look to be relatively small. If memory serves me right it only had 2 pages of videos, 2 of photos and maybe with her pregnancy she didn't want the content posted anymore.
I'm going a bit high on the score based on liking the Bryci site so much. The network is worth a join if you like solo models and especially if you prefer videos.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Bryci is a sensual, brunette model who excels at posing, teasing and may be the best solo masturbation model I've seen in a few years.
- The site itself is pretty big, but not all scenes are masturbation, quite a few BTS, non-nude talking, will list the numbers in BL.
- Archive has webcam archived videos.
- From what I can see, all videos on the site are available in 1980x1080. Multiple video download options on all videos except webcam archives.
- Download speed is relatively good, but you will occasionally run into a slower moving file. I can max out at 3.8 MB/s, most will download around 3.0 MB/s, but a few were in the 1.6-1.9 MB/s range.
- Pictures are nice, but I had a few problems with them which will be in cons.
- Comes with 7 other similarly themed sites, the size of each greatly varies and I will do a review of the overall network separately to get all the numbers in.
- Price isn't too bad for the quality and especially if you like the models.
Cons:
- Pictures aren't zipped. This could be a major con to picture lovers since they have very high quality pictures 2662x4000.
- Download limit. Normally this would annoy the hell out of me, but I don't download near as much as I used to. It's listed as 9 GB per day, Webmaster says 10 GB, the most I've downloaded in a day is 5 GB, so I've had no problems with it. And since the terms say no scripts are allowed, I'm guessing you can't use a bulk image downloader for the pictures. It isn't being a problem for me though I thought it should be mentioned. One workaround without breaking the rules is to download the smaller quality videos, which I will get to in the BL.
Bottom Line:
Bryci has to be considered a serious contender for top solo model. The one negative some will find is she has implants, but I've never minded those either unless they are badly out of proportion. Hers aren't. The site is full of high quality content as well. I'm going to focus this next part on the numbers and qualities available since there is a download limit.
I'm counting 329 video scenes as of 1/27/13. There are 5 types of video scenes. Standard masturbation, Behind the Scenes, teasing, talking, webcam archive. The BTS and talking ones aren't something I'm going to download since there is a download limit, so those can be taken out of the equation. Her teasing scenes are short in length, 4-6 minutes usually, but if the attire she has on it is your thing, these are worth downloading. She has one scene in a white thin dress, in the shower, that is great as well as a workout tease scene that I loved.
The scenes I downloaded were masturbation, some teasing and the webcam archive. There's roughly 110 masturbation and/or tease scenes, it's hard to put a number on the webcam scenes that involve masturbation or nudity without watching them all, but several I've watched do have masturbation in them. It almost looks like Bryci may have started out as a tease type model. The videos date back to January 2009, so that's 4 years of content and plenty of time for her to have evolved from tease to masturbation. Most of the first year of updates are of the tease and BTS variety.
I know there are people who like the talking videos, but I'm sticking with my standard on those, I don't want to pay for a video of a woman answering questions. It seems to be a whole section of "Ask Bryci" videos. There also is an Amazon button so you can buy presents for Bryci, which I've laughed at dating back to Raven Riley. One more time, I pay to see your porn, not to have an option to pay for your gifts.
The video download options do vary since 1/5, maybe 1/4 are webcam, these are in Flash only, but you can download them.
The other videos have:
MP4 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360.
WMV 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360.
Flash 900x506
3GP 352x288
As you can see, the downloading options are very good and I personally download the Flash ones since it limits the size of the file, while giving me still good quality. From what I see in the members area you have all these options on all videos except the webcam archives.
The pictures are overall a disappointment. I've always removed points for no zip files and have removed 5 points from this review for it since I think the pictures add a lot to a solo site. I guess it's okay to download one at a time if you want to make you own set, but I would much prefer a zip option to download the whole set. It seems to go into a hollow debate of why have 4000 high end pictures if the members can't download the whole set. While I'm sure there are some who wouldn't want to download an entire set of photos at that high of quality since it would be a fairly big file. I like the option of having the option to download if I want them though.
Navigation is very easy, site design is nice and clean. There also are webcam shows, but I haven't watched any. Each thing you would need from navigation is in a toolbar towards the top of the screen, the only thing I would add is an option to filter out BTS scenes and separate webcam archive, but those are minor complaints since the title of each video says, "BTS" or "Webcam" so you don't have to guess at them.
Where Bryci earns the high score is in her performances. She's quite confident, seems to love teasing and works the camera as well as dare I say, a young Eve Angel. The eye contact with the camera, the "I know you're watching" expressions, is the best I've seen since 2006 Eve Angel. That alone keeps me interested in her content. She also seems to be pretty natural in her poses unlike a lot of Euro glam models. She shows a fun and playful side as well.
You do get access to Bella Pass Network which includes 6 other solo models and one other site that is a multi-model site. I won't go into those since I want to review the network as a whole, separately, but Bryci does seem to be the star of the network.
Bryci's site itself seems to update with video or photos 10 times a month. There also is a blog if you're interested in that and it is very active from what I saw of it. In January alone, there were 11 new entries in the blog.
One last part on the download limit. Downloading Flash files, I downloaded 12 videos earlier for a total of 2 GB. So considering I don't want the BTS or talking videos, I should be able to get most of the scenes I want without breaking the download limit.
Overall, download limits and no picture zips, notwithstanding, I would highly recommend it to solo fans.

Pros:
Bryci is simply gorgeous! She poses in many different ways and looks great in them all!
Cons:
As other have already indicated, the webmaster is terrible. If you exceed the down limit, (which is not really that high (9GB per 24 hour), with some on the videos at over 1GB you can hit 9.0GB pretty fast), you will be banned from the site. It indicates for 1 week, but you may not get back on at all. The best thing to do is just request a refund from the subscription company (cc bill).
The worst part is the webmaster will not respond (even if you are trying resolve the issue). The subscription company (like ccbill) will try to correct the problem, but you will never hear from the webmaster.
I rating the site a 70 (all because of Bryci). The other models in the site are attractive, but not to the level of Bryci. The grade would have been considerably higher if the webmaster was not so bad!
Bottom Line:
As I mentioned, Bryci is a natuarl beauty. It is just such a shame that the webmaster is so bad. I can see the setting of a limit, but not responding to inquires, especially when you try to resolve the problem is not excusable!
There are so many other sites that offer great looking models. Stay away from this one, and if you join, be really careful (read all the terms, I know like anyone ever does that?)!

Pros:
- Bryci is incredible hot with a great body
- Lots of content, good balance of pics and vids
- Good value with lots of other girls too
Cons:
Awful webmaster. I had problems with my ADSL and my IP number was blocked. No problem I thought, and emailed the webmaster. He basically called me a liar and a thief and wouldn't humour me at all. I understand the need to protect content, but the way it was dealt with was totally over the top. I explained what happened, even listed the 10-or-so videos I had downloaded to prove only I had been a member but he wouldn't even listen. A huge shame as it's a great site
Bottom Line:
An incredible website but let down by an incredibly arrogant webmaster. It was a huge shame because it was definitely the kind of website I could see myself joining and rejoining constantly.

Pros:
As a long time member of Bryci.com, I felt I should make my first review of her website. It's amazing! They really put the customer first in all that they do.
The site updates five times per week and the images are top notch, 4000 pixel wide is the largest size. Their videos are also huge, 1080p in size.
Bryci is in her forums daily talking and she blogs almost every day as well so she is very, very active. She has a great sense of humor it seems. She cares about her member base and remembers them in cam shows and what not, which is appreciated. Always good to not just be a dollar sign in the eyes of a model.
I signed up the first week this site went live and while it was slow in content because it was brand new but on their one year anniversary, they had 129 photo galleries, 157 videos in place. That's 5.5 updates per week, or 22 updates per month. I don't know of any solo model sites that come even close to Bryci.com to be honest.
Cons:
I wish they offered the sets in zip format for download, but as they reasoned, when they do, there are always those that download the zip and post in trader forums. That hurts them of course so I understand them not supporting zips.
A lot of sites don't support zips for the same reason.
Bottom Line:
Bottom line, I wish all sites were as good as Bryci.com. She doesn't play with toys or do things some other girls do, but there is this level of class about her.. you just can't imagine her going further.
They created a new benchmark with their website, once that I wish others would try and beat. Until then, Bryci.com remains the best solo model website I personally have ever joined. I was a member of seven sites at the time I joined Bryci.com. I am now a member of two, Bryci.com and Brazzers. The other sites just don't cut it in comparison.

Pros:
- Bryci is definitely a VERY hot girl. A total knockout, like the cute girl next door who went away to live in the city and came back home for Christmas with tighter clothes and a huge fantasy boob job.
- Images are high resolution (approx. 2000 pixels).
- Videos are available in multiple formats (WMV, XVid, iPhone, PSP, etc.) at resolutions up to 1920x1080, with no DRM or apparent download limits.
- All content is exclusive and original.
- Content added frequently (5 times per week).
Cons:
- Limited content as of March 2009 - it was a fairly new site. I would guess (from memory 6 weeks on) that there were approx. 30-40 photo sets and about 12-15 videos at the time.
- Everything is very much softcore - pretty much boobs only. Which is fine - they are mesmerizing boobs. But you can't help but long to see more of her body. Very rare tantalizing glimpses of her waxed kitty only make it frustrating for the viewer.
- The videos are a little amateurishly shot, their action tends to be a bit tame, and they are a little short in duration.
- Image galleries aren't available as zip files: you have to download each image separately. I gave up after three or four galleries, and cancelled my account soon thereafter.
Bottom Line:
Bryci is absolutely gorgeous - no doubt about it. To my mind, one of the hottest girls I've seen in years. They're adding more content to the site at a reasonable pace, so after a few months I would consider re-joining IF (and ONLY if) they were to provide downloadable zip archives of the photoshoots. And if Bryci was to reveal just a little more, that would sweeten the deal even further.
