Really good feature, that. I try and cancel straight away if I know I'm not going to renew, but on some where I do stay for a while, it's always sod's law that by the time I cancel it's a day after the rebill, so this is a great feature.
Just reading through the comments and it's a shame that the webmaster is blindly defensive to the point they pick holes in largely positive reviews. I know if I ever join the site I won't be reviewing it on Porn Users.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Super-hot Latina babe. Although she has fake boobs, I think she still looks incredible
- Lots of different tastes catered for - solo, G/G, B/G, BJs etc
- Great quality video, very good quality photos
- No intrusive watermarks as on previous website
Cons:
- No zips of galleries
- Very inconsistent updates when I was a member
- Not enough new content unfortunately
Bottom Line:
Lupe I think is sensational. I preferred her all natural but there's definitely still something about her. Some really enjoyable scenes, and the content is very high quality. The previous website was AWFUL with wrong videos linked to the wrong thumbnails and watermarks IN THE MIDDLE of photos, so glad to see this has been fixed.
It's a shame there's not much new content, but it's definitely worth joining this website, and Lupe really is a great performer with a hot, petite body.
Yep. I always star/flag my active subscriptions in my inbox so I remember to cancel. Cancelling is easy enough, but it's a bit cumbersome with the capcha codes, having to retype bits of the credit card number etc. CCBill really spoils us!
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Access to 8 bonus sites (6 solo models, 2 multi-model sites)
- Slick navigation – easy to filter by girl/site/keyword etc
- All content downloadable with no download limits/DRM
- Lots of download options for video (by size/format/scene)
- Photos downloadable as zips with lots of different options
- Extremely high quality content covering a lot of different genres
- Ivana is an absolutely fantastic performer
- Long history of updates, all of which are dated
- CCBill – with non-recurring option, no pre-checked cross-sells
- You seem to stay logged in without username/password prompts
- Great value for the amount of content available
- Active Diesel Access forum and visible member support
- Webcams available on bonus sites to suit various timezones
Cons:
Mostly minor. Points marked with * don't personally bother me:
- Ivana is no longer posting hardcore boy/girl updates
- Ivana hasn’t done a webcam since February 2013
- Out of the 8 bonus sites, 4 are no longer updating
- Automatically generated password*
- She's bulked out a little bit – still slim but looks quite different*
Bottom Line:
An incredibly slick website, part of a very polished network. You can join with recurring membership (pre-checked), but also a non-recurring, and also a 5 month membership to all 13 of the network sites.
CCBill confirmation and username/password arrive in separate emails. Inside, you can see updates for all the Diesel member sites that you have access to. These are:
- Ivana Fukalot (300 galleries, 202 videos)
- Young Legal Porn (1375 galleries, 1184 videos)
- 18 Only Girls (1482 galleries, 1202 videos)
- Beata Porn (271 galleries, 96 videos)
- Skinny Super Girl (116 galleries, 87 videos)
- Vika Nymph (196 galleries, 182 videos – not updating)
- Alice Wonder Bang (228 galleries, 167 videos – not updating)
- Natasha Shy (348 galleries, 263 videos – not updating)
- Sasha Blonde (529 galleries, 431 videos – not updating)
You can click on any of the above to be taken to that specific member’s area, and once inside you see all updates (video and photo) chronologically presented as thumbnails with the title, date, keywords, and who the video stars.
You can also view just galleries or videos by clicking the option on the navigation bar at the top. Pages have two views; ‘Normal’ which displays just the updates, or ‘Advanced’ which allows you to sort by date, rating, most popular or most commented. You can also filter by site, or by keyword (eg, anal, blowjob, cum in mouth, cum on face etc). A good feature is that you can select multiple tags (eg, ‘blowjob’ and ‘outdoors’ for all outdoor blowjobs).
VIDEO:
Content across the site is high quality with older updates having fewer options and are lower quality.
Formats available include MP4 at 1080p (since around May 2012), 720p (since around February 2009), 480p (since the site began), and 360p (throughout most of the archives). A WMV of the largest video size at the time is also available with each movie update.
You can also view the video embedded as a Flash file which you can skip to any point in while it still loads, and even on the Flash video you can select the video quality.
You can also select scenes in a video to play or download. You simply toggle the scenes you want, then can play the selection, or download in various different qualities – I’ve never seen this amount of versatility and customisation on any other website. This is available on all videos.
GALLERIES:
Almost infinite amount of customisation options. On the majority of galleries you can view a slideshow, change the size of thumbnails (with a slider), download as 1000px resolution or the original sized images. In the last week or so, new galleries have the option of downloading images as 1000px, 2000px, 4000px or the original 6000px resolution.
The best feature is customisable zips – you select the photos you want to download (or click the link to select all images) and you can download them in a zip. It suits literally everyone.
THE CONTENT
Ivana is versatile and caters for lots of niches. Earlier content was mainly sex and masturbation. Her sex scenes were all with the same guy, but together they put on a great performance with a perfect balance of sex being hard but romantic. Scenes have her contorted in excitement before ending with a passionate embrace.
Her masturbation scenes are something to behold – Ivana puts everything into each scene and writhes around in excitement.
Later scenes include anal, and there is also a lot of lesbian content too. However, since May 2011 there is no boy/girl content.
Scenes take place in lots of locations – bedroom, bathroom, gardens and pools, and also in outdoor locations such as abandoned buildings and even in public. Most have multi-angles, both POV and from multiple other angles.
UPDATES
Updates on Ivana’s site are weekly with bias towards two galleries for every video posted. There’s normally around three updates every day across the bonus sites included. In the last few updates Ivana has put on a bit of weight – she’s still slim, but her face has filled out in particular and she’s not as boney around the midriff (I could understand people thinking she was too skinny before) and honestly looks very different – I had to double-take to see if it was still her.
WEBCAMS AND BONUS CONTENT
The webcam is exceptional. There is a weekly schedule and comprehensive archive of shows. Ivana’s last show was in February, and is not on schedule to reappear soon. Shows are spread throughout the day, so no bias towards Americans time-wise. Each show is a couple of hours long.
With regards to the bonus sites, it’s a shame that Sasha Blonde, Natasha Shy, Alice Wonder Bang and Vika Nymph are no longer updating, but if you like Ivana, Skinny Super Girl and Beata Porn are both in a similar vein, and across all sites there is a huge amount of content.
VERDICT
Exceptionally slick member's area like nothing I've ever seen. Updates are not as exciting as they used to be now that she no longer does hardcore. The huge archive will entertain most members.
Have to say I'm not sure if she's still active which is why I stopped short of saying it was regularly updated. I was a member 2-or-so months ago and hadn't been a member for a long time before that so although a lot of content was new to me I can't remember if there were any updates.
Hopefully the webmaster will reply as I know they have replied to reviews before. Pre-ticked cross-sells are basically taking advantage of people not noticing the upsell so it isn't fair, really, but I'm pretty sure if I'm understanding correctly there is no more regional pricing.
Oh OK, that's odd! I was going by the prices on the CC Bill page - when I click the US flag it says $31.36 and when I click the Union Jack it says £20.44. Admittedly the previous join page without the local currency is not helpful.
This website caught my attention and I saw comments about regional pricing, but it looks like they no longer do regional pricing which is a positive step as it's $31.36 or £20.44.
Thought it best to post a comment to address the earlier comments left. The website looks pretty good so have definitely added to my watchlist for future membership.
Yep, you're right, she retired a long, long time ago. Apparently the 'new sets' are the same sets, just with a few of the images that didn't make the cut before - they show a bit more, but still no real slips or anything.
For the record, she was one of the hottest solo models I ever followed.
Oh good, thank you for the clarification - I saw updates had stopped so thought I'd better warn people as it normally goes: reduce update frequency, start rotating content, stop updating, close site... - glad to see you're making improvements. Hope Karla's happy doing whatever she's doing post-Karla Spice :)
Just a note to say Karla's site is no longer rotating content and hasn't been updated since 11th February. I hope this isn't a sign the site will be taken down any time soon.
Obviously there haven't been any new updates for a good year-or-so but thought I might let people know so that they have the option of grabbing everything in case the site is closed.
My membership to the site has just ended, and it's still a great solo website, despite no new content (see my review for full details)
Thank you for the great review! Really enjoyed that, and it kind of vindicates my thoughts on her site which I have always enjoyed, although obviously more so pre-2010 when Karla was still modelling for the site.
You're absolutely correct that updates are being rotated now. I still think it's a very good website, despite this, and much of this is down to Karla who is a real personality as well as being hot as hell.
I'm not sure if the others are updating or not, but maybe when you have a quiet month with memberships try joining. Don't expect many updates etc, but the content there is very good :)

Pros:
- Karla looks incredible - beautiful with hot body
- She is a great personality, fun, carefree and great tease
- Good balance of photos and videos
- Plenty of extras like Blog, Vlog, bonus sites etc
- Caters well for the strip-tease market
- Gorgeous locations with idyllic scenery
- Videos available in several formats
- Photo galleries have downloadable ZIPs
Cons:
- Website is no longer updating with new content
- Older content isn't great quality
- Karla is only topless in the latter galleries
- Website is a bit on the pricey side
- Karla's boobs are fake and look quite 'bolt on'
Bottom Line:
Karla has to take a lot of credit for this being such a good website. If god gave me a lump of clay and said 'carve the perfect woman', I think it would end up looking very similar to Karla.
She has luscious black hair, a beautiful, expressive face. She's slim with a flat belly, nice, tight ass and beautiful long legs. She also has massive boobs. They're fake, and LOOK fake, but I got over that fact pretty quickly.
Aside looking this hot, she is such a great performer. She's so much fun and such a personality. Her facial expressions, teasing with the camera - it adds so much character to the website. Considering it is no longer updating, you really get a taste of what it's like to be friends with Karla.
Similarly to Gigi Spice, the tour says there are weekly updates, which there aren't. The site hasn't been updated since November 2011, and the last updates were basically repeated content.
Her last 'real' gallery was her posing in a garden in a brown dress. Unlike a lot of websites it didn't die a slow, long, drawn-out death, there was no sign of Karla losing interest and becoming apathetic. I'd like to think she went on and did bigger and better things. She's actually quite well known in Venezuela and features in magazines and has been on TV at least once before.
At $28, Karla Spice is a bit on the pricey side, but for me it is a lot better value than Gigi Spice. Unlike Gigi's website, you can also enjoy journal, Vlog and guest galleries.
Navigation-wise, the site is divided into Pictures, Videos, Friends, Wallpapers, Journal, Vlogs and Bonus Sites.
Photo-wise there's about 400 galleries divided into 16 pages. Each gallery has around 100-200 photos. Photos are 1200px on their longest side and include a small graphical watermark. Some are a bit photoshop-heavy, but it's not too bad.
Karla wasn't always topless, so I would say the topless content accounts for about a third of the site, with the rest being implied topless (handbras etc) and a few instances of implied nudity too.
Many of the photoshoots take part in exotic locations, whether poolside or in beautiful lagoons. The rest is a mix of a very luxurious house or even places like the gym.
There are a few outfit galleries (Karla as a native Indian or a ship's captain etc), but a lot are her stripping from miniscule bikinis or even from everyday clothes. It's not the kind of site where she sluts it up and wears plastic stripper shoes, it's a lot classier than that.
Video-wise it's similar. There's about 50 great quality videos available in several formats.
Content-wise it's a mix of styles. Most are strip teases and her teasing viewers. She normally does a bit of dance, talking to the camera in Spanish (often subtitled). She's so exciting to watch.
In addition to this, there's also a video archive section with lower-quality videos available.
For me, Karla is definitely the site's strength both in looks and personality, and I'm really glad that Karla Spice's website exploits this fact.
The Journal section is basically a blog. It's actually really interesting, and I mean that. There's plenty of unique posts on there covering everything from her auditioning to be a model, her appearing on TV, her magazine appearances and trying to find places to shoot galleries. Lots of really nice, fun pictures too.
The Vlog section is also good. Lots of behind-the-scenes footage, Q&A with members answering questions that they ask (whether she'll go nude etc). This is VERY impressive. She isn't great at English, so everything is answered in Spanish with English subtitles.
If you like Karla you should like them. None of the solo girls are as good as Karla, though, and Gigi Spice isn't included (although you can get discounted membership on join-up).
There's also a 'Friends' section with guest galleries including content from other La Zona models and more besides (Janessa Brazil, Misty Gates, Blueeyed Cass etc)
The fact the website is no longer updating is disappointing, but that doesn't take away from the fact Karla is fantastic and the website makes the most of her finest qualities.
It's easy to navigate, and although you can't get in touch with Karla any more, it is a fun website to be a member of as you really get to know Karla through the great mix of content.
I make no apologies for fawning over Karla. She adds so much to the site, and not only through looks. I'm really pleased that her website gives you a chance to *enjoy* her modelling career, however disappointingly short it was.

Pros:
- Perfect balance of picture and video content
- Immediate access to Bella Network including six solo sites
- Consistent quality of content throughout the site
- Updates are dated (including recent updates in Preview area)
- Additional content including blog, candids, behind the scenes
- Katie has an phenominal body, and seems to love modelling
- Easy navigation either via Bella Network or her own site
- You seem to stay logged in without username/password prompts
- CCBill with no pre-checked cross-sells
Cons:
Points marked with * don't bother me personally:
- Video previews are a bit limited
- Regional pricing
- No ZIP files for photo galleries
- Automatically generated username/password*
- Download limit of 12gb per 24 hour hour period*
- Katie has fake boobs*
- Photoshopping of her moles in photo updates
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.
I wish you gave more information in your review such as what sizes the images are, what way the adverts were deceiving etc. But thanks for the warning.
Thanks, yeah, I'll probably do that. In the meantime I've joined Miss CJ Miles' site instead. It's pretty average, but she's pretty hot and a new model to me.
Thanks for the reply, I'm using a debit card which I'm not sure if it would be classed as a pre-pay (I'm in the UK...). I've never had this problem before with CCBill or any other site. Thanks for the suggestion though.
