If only it were true...but I am afraid not. Her shoot with ALS was back sometime in the fall of last year; I don't remember the exact date, but it was in the fall. Her recent announcement concerning her health is dated April 8th of this year. :(
I only hope that she just hasn't updated her site with some good news since then.
I thought she was getting better, but according to her site I am wrong. :(
She shot with ALSScan last fall, after having first shot with them sometime around 1998-'99, and she had a clean bill of health and was in good spirits. Now, at age 30, she has had her second diagnosis of cancer! Due to her preexisting condition, she can't get health insurance (we really do have the best health care in the world, don't we?), and now needs donations (through her site) so she can have more surgery for the hysterectomy.
Hope she gets better -- she is one the sweetest girls in porn!
Just out of curiosity, did you actually sign up for a full month or just a trial membership? Also a more thorough bottom line would help explain things a little.
Sounds like just another anally-themed site, though with a great name. Too bad about the speed issues; twenty to thirty minutes is terrible for one scene, and an hour for an HD version sounds unbearable. You also did a review of Dildo and Fisting, but are any of the other sites' content worth anything?
Thank you Denner, and you're right about this site being "major;" it's very damn big...647 models! I still put most of my judgment in the solo content, as it just never felt like a really hardcore site. The fact that some models got down 'n' dirty with a dude was more of a bonus to me -- especially the ones I had previously only seen do solo or girl-girl work -- rather than my primary motivation for joining the site.
D'oh! I only looked (and looked and looked) on the photo set pages for a way to change the number of displayed thumbnails, never my profile page. I guess I am just used to the way a lot of other sites do it with the option in the photo sets.
Thanks for the kind words Monahan; I was worried I had starting rambling there for a while. It is a pretty big site, and I was trying to cover as much as possible (and I didn't even look at the review tips forum, so I am sure I missed something).
"Round tuit" almost sounds like a way of describing a girl's ass. Uh oh, I think you may have come up with a new site name...
Thanks lk2fireone! I could have sworn you had extended one of your reviews into a reply, but I may be thinking of someone else, though you do seem to frequently max out and extend your pros and cons sections.
I'll write your next review if you pay for the membership. ;)
I enjoyed the photos more than the videos, but I frequently prefer photos over videos anyway. The site tends to be more about its photographic content than its videos, so I was happy with many of the photo sets. The problem was repetition, where models seemed to repeat things done by nearly every other model on the site; panty stuffing, lots of toys, striptease, some mild spreading (what they call “explicit nude”), and even more toys. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate toys; in fact, they probably keep a number of women from picking up guns and coming after us guys for subscribing to so many sites, but I do get tired of them in scene after scene after scene.
Technically speaking, the photos are of professional quality, though obviously shot by multiple photographers and camera models, as they release three new models a week. A few models had some harsh lighting situations, where it looked as if only a small flash was used, or there wasn't much setup involved, but these are only a few earlier models, so don't worry. Some girls had what looked to be a little too much Photoshop work, where parts of their skin had a soft focus to it (more noticeable in closeups), especially when compared to videos, where cleaning up a model's complexion can be prohibitively time consuming. Additionally, some shots just were out of focus, or focus was neither on the face nor on the fun stuff. There were only one or two of these per set, but still annoying.
Navigation is simple and easy, with a good search function that can also break down by body and scene content types, plus links to videos, updates, top rated models, and the complete model directory. My one complaint for navigation was on photo set pages where I could not change the number of thumbnails per page, and it was set around twenty. Some sets are not too big, but others are and you have to browse through quite a few pages, but it is really a small problem, as you can still change thumbnail and picture size.
I think this site is well done and can serve as a model of how to shoot and capture content, if not necessarily what type content to shoot. Again, I approached this more as a solo girl site, not a hardcore one, though I really wish they had more girl-girl content then the minute amount that I found. But even the softcore content felt weak to me, but maybe I just expect more than stripping and happy-happy-toy-toy action when it is just a girl by herself.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
+ Claimed 647 models! Yes, they are quite nubile; very hot, in their late teens, early 20s
+ Newer full length videos are 1280 x 720 @ 3500 kb/s .wmv (smaller sizes available in .avi, .mp4, .mpg)
+ No download limits, no DRM, download managers are allowed
+ 3 to 4 updates every day, and 3 new models every week
+ Newer photos are 2400 x 1600, with zips for each photo set
+ Download speeds of at least 500 kbs/s
+ Some models do hardcore content
+ Pretty clear breakdown at top of each model's page of what she does; from "topless" to "sex"
+ "Interview" pages give some info on each model
+ Navigation is pretty straightforward, and search engine works well
+ Billing through CCBill, with special PU discount of $24.31/month
Cons:
- Overall repetitive and boring feel, and hardcore in particular, at least for me (see Bottom Line)
- Virtually no girl-girl content (less than a dozen scenes, if that)
- Little anal or fetish content beyond vaginal and lots of toys
- "Bonus" content is negligible, and mostly to advertise other pay sites
- Navigation within photo set pages is a little annoying
- Individual video clips are not highest quality, only 1280 x 720 when you DL the whole video
- Photos are professionally shot, but a few look a bit too Photoshopped, or as if they should not have been been released at all
- Purely my personal preference, but a few too many European models
Bottom Line:
I originally approached this site as a girls only site, even though I was well aware that it had hardcore content. But come on, it's not the guys that are nubile -- it's the hundreds of hot girls! That's the one thing that is indisputable: the models here are young (late teens through mid twenties) and very attractive. Quite a few are American and new, but there are also plenty of Europeans (mostly Eastern Europe, in particular a growing number from Russia) as well as models that have been on quite a few other girls-only sites (Franziska, Sarah Blake, Kacey Jordan, Angelica Black), but none I would really call bona fide porn stars.
For those who like some variety in their model choices, this site might be a tad bland. The focus is on the nubile and skinny females in this world, but not necessarily of all races and elasticities it seems. I would not call the models themselves bland, but I really could not find any variety of girls that would include those of Asian, African, or Central and South American descent. It really was not an issue for me, as there is every hair color to choose from, most are shaven bare, though some still have pubic hair if it matters, plus tattoos and piercings, but nothing over the top. And if these girls simply are not in your preferred age range, you might want to check out their sister (mother?) site, Anilos, which looks to be much the same setup and price structure, though noticeably smaller amount of content.
So, how are all these lovely ladies captured? Well, the equipment and technology almost matches the beauty of the models. Newer videos are 1280 x 720 HD, but only in full length. Videos are broken down into one to two minute clips as well, but if you only download these clips, it's lower resolution. I guess this is good if you want to check out the content of a video before downloading the whole thing, but a letdown nonetheless if you just want that special clip. Videos are well lit, relatively well shot (no "Blair Witch" shake-'em-up contests), and have basically no apparent off camera distractions, spoken or otherwise. There are some interviews where the cameraman speaks, but it's only in interviews where I could find this happening.
Here's where my 81 score starts to really come in; though well shot, videos just did not do it for me. I would say the site is still photo-focused (more on that in a minute) but the videos are not too special for me. These ladies are eye candy, no doubt, but often somewhat reserved in videos, even in the hardcore scenes. I felt it was as much a case as just keeping the models comfortable (the solo, as well as the hardcore, content is never abusive or degrading, if you were wondering) as it was not asking enough of them. They enjoy themselves for sure, but not as much as I was expecting, and it felt as if it was too formulaic and toy focused to really make things stand out.
Karupspc looks like it has way to many Euro models for my tastes, so I will say this about Nubiles: they have more American models than I was led to believe, and to me that is a plus.
Wish I had read this before I recently joined. Yes, they have beautiful models, many shot in HD and in professionally done photography, but all without the passion!
I know they have toys and some hardcore, but it is all so bland and boring to me. The sheer number of girls actually makes it worse, because they have applied this formulaic blandness on a mass scale. It seems like every single girl will engage in similar acts, poses, and even in bio responses.
I am going to wait at least another week before I do a review, but my hopes are not very high at this point. :(
I don't really think he is a jerk, he seems to just come off that way in your review, which I thought was quite funny, especially the fifth and sixth pro points. I find it funny when he is selling a pill, or giving advice on how to pick up women...when he is a porn star! All he has to do is go to work, and never change his identity.
I am not sure if it is him simply being a reliable legend, or just a sort of sideshow/freak act attraction to his up-gunned cumshots, but the ladies do seem to love working with him, and he comes off as quite civil in his scenes, at least compared to the more abusive fare now offered. Oh, and his hairstyle from the '80s was great, he needs to bring that back!
Great review, and you came up with a ton of pros, considering the score. I can't imagine joining a guy's site, plus your review makes him sound like kind of an asshole, or at least a guy with a lot of ego.
Is it just me, or does his photo on the site look like it was Photoshopped? Supposedly he is addicted to working out, and he does look like he is in shape in his videos, but that photo looks terrible, as if his head was just pasted on a different pic of his body.
Yeah, the other "review" is extremely similar to this one, except the score is 95 instead of 100...
Didn't we just have this problem a few months ago? If peterhd (and/or caperuzo) is just spamming or promoting for this site, then just take this suggestion: don't! The members hate it, and the staff will just disable your accounts and restrict reviews for the site.
Thanks for the answers, they're what I figured but it was nice to hear them confirmed by a member. Looks like I'll be making a small deposit in this bank pretty soon. ; - )
I was thinking of joining this site this summer...and then I completely forgot the name! But now that someone has done a recent review, I have a couple of questions:
1.) Is there DRM on any of these videos? I couldn't tell from TBP or PU, or even their tour.
2.) What's the average length of videos, or are they of all sorts of different lengths?
Great review, RB! I've been thinking about joining this site for a while now--well, really just Wet and Pissy, as those two words encompass nearly everything I seek out in porn--but if this is the same price for two additional sites, it's obviously the better deal. I guess I'll wait a little while on a review once I join (and don't want to risk carpal tunnel syndrome either!). Your comments on camera work are also a lot more than what I usually manage, the typically redundant "Me see naughty parts in video. Me get horny."
Also, your reply to graymane about use of the term "puffy," that "Big TACOs are the Labia Masters" is hilarious (though I would think the title "Labia Mistress" is more correct). If that were a real award or title it would be one I wouldn't think twice about accepting! :-)
Rocco Siffredi, the Italian Stallion, is one of the few living male legends in porn. He is comparable to Peter North in the U.S., but with a few mainstream credits to his name, along with a more aggressive approach to his "acting".
LOL! You do start off a lot of reviews with that "this site is definitely NOT for everyone" warning, a problem I share whenever I start a new thread, but it's also a pretty tempting warning which I think is part of the appeal of porn in general.
Roxy seems to be a prime example of how to continue to make it in the changing economics of the porn industry, at least if shooting primarily from home provides enough excitement, and apple-in-ass content doesn't provide too much. She's also one of those naughty-but-nice Florida performers that's making a living with some pretty "unique" talents that not a lot of other porn stars even seem willing to try (Naughty Alysha is the other one that immediately comes to mind).
But I think if you've heard of Roxy Raye then you probably know what you're getting into, and if not her Twitter photos makes it pretty clear what she's willing to do--double anal fisting, for example...unless that's normal for women on Twitter, I'm not on there very often. Then again, if you ever mistakenly subscribe to this content then at least you will have some interesting anecdotes for your next dinner party conversation (or therapist!). ;-)
