It would be wise when choosing a stage name to make sure there aren't 1,000,000 results on google for your new name and that the .com domain is not taken. Adding a surname (even if it's a common one) is a must.
It's very frustrating when you try to find more of the work from a new model and you realize she chose the same name as some TV anchor woman or a shoe brand and you are faced with thousands of unrelated results. It's even worse when another adult model already has it.
Securing your domain name from the start should also be a top priority. It only costs a few bucks. A model's name is her brand. What serious company would choose a brand without securing the associated domain first? If the domain name is taken, I'd suggest choosing another name.
I used to do what you suggest in the past but, that way, you don't get the original file: possible quality loss, different file name, etc.
I don't know if what this site does with the galleries qualifies as a "legitimate security feature" so I'll just say that an image can be legitimately saved to disk by several means (I used one of the less usual ones in order to get image specs without losing a lot of time with screen captures).
Whoever invented zip file gallery download should be inducted to webmaster hall of fame.
It was a surprise when she did a pretty decent boy-girl scene with her boyfriend for Brazzer's Network's new site Real Wife Stories. It was supposed to be a one-time thing but she announced a couple of days ago via MySpace that she has signed a contract with Vivid. It would be interesting to know what the contract says about outside work and ownership of this domain.
I was a member of this site about a couple of months ago. Newest updates announcements make me think that the site still is an interesting collection of Penthouse Pet Hanna Hilton's softcore / glamour galleries and videos. My review for this site wouldn't be much different from the one I did for I Love Andie (another site in the same network) except that this one has more content (it was launched a couple of months before), there probably aren't as much explicit shots and there is no chat at all. Pictures should also be 1200x780 and videos, 600x480.
ModFx International has the good policy of always listing all the updates in the free section, so once inside you will almost certainly get the 23 photo sets and 23 videos plus one new update a week (gallery or video). There is no mention to the Vivid contract on the site, though.
Signed up about a year ago (site had just launched) and was quite impressed with creativity and filming quality. Scenes always also featured other well known female and male performers which added up to great scenes that would not have looked out of place in a major porn network. Almost looked like they had intended to produce some DVDs but opted to release them as web content.
Also remember being surprised by good organization: each scene had a "home page" that linked to main video, photo gallery and BTS (if available). A rarity, as most solo sites usually dump photos and videos from same scene in different sections.
Major drawback was (and it seems still is) website's look and also the lack of feedback options. The colors and graphic elements made me think at first that the site had been around for 10 years when, in fact, it had just been launched and the scenes had been filmed recently. Also, the feedback was limited to a cgi form that crashed after sending some praise and suggestions; one of the reasons I cancelled after one month. Luscious Lopez has quite an interesting personality and some sort of diary or forum would have been a plus.
Per the updates section available in the free tour, it looks there have only been 4 updates in the last 4 months (one of them a solo gallery), which is a real pity. On the other hand, if the stats at TPB are right (69 videos) and you like Luscious Lopez's performances maybe you should give it a try. I doubt you would be disappointed.
FTV Girls, Twistys Treat of the Month, Danni.com Girl of the Month, ALS Angels to name just a few. She has also appeared in several adult DVDs: solo, lesbian and one rare boy-girl scene for Wicked Pictures.
Just checked ALS Angels website and it's definitely the same model. I don't know when the ALS Angels pictures were taken. Those at her official site tour are quite recent (taken in January 2008). Maybe that could explain the differences you see. It could also depend on camera angles.
Thanks for your interest in my review. I'm a newbie but, the way I see it, the rating of "Excellent - Site is near perfect, best in its class. Highly recommended" is perfectly justifiable in this case.
The key is "best in its class". I've been member to several other American professional Individual Models sites (Porn Stars and published Glamour models alike) and few come close to deliver half as this. You may not like Jaime Hammer's looks or personality (probably not worth joining, then) or expect every adult site to be a gynecology textbook (this site is clearly not one) but the quality of the product and the high degree of involvement of the model with her site is undeniable and way higher than most other similar Individual Models sites.
The cons are not that big. After all, seeing nobody but the website model in an official website is what you join for not to just get "girlfriend" updates of models you are not interested in. Images and videos are currently big enough to fill most screens. HD quality is cool but I don't look for it so I listed them as cons for those who do. Maybe a bit too few images in the galleries but more could become repetitive in a softcore model.
On the other hand, the site is currently clearly misscategorized at PU: it should by no means be in the Porn Stars category but Softcore or Glamour. If you look at it as a Porn Stars site, you will be very disappointed.
Also, the TBP official review is 2 years outdated although I'm in awe that they updated the site facts after my review. For completeness, let me state again that half the galleries (the most recent ones) are available as zip files and that the content is not amateur in any sense.
As of today, there are 29 videos of varying quality. 6 of the last ones are at 1280x720 (300-700 mb each), some of the old ones are 320x240 but most are at 640x480. Length is 10-15 minutes. The content of the videos is about one third solo, one third lesbian, one third boy-girl and they are quite good.
Very poor update rate, though. Lately, you get one HD video every two weeks and a "photo gallery" consisting of video captures from next week's video the week in between. You also get access to Glamour Models Gone Bad, Amateurs Gone Bad and all related model sites (Shay Laren, Crissy Moran, ...).
