Thanks for your quick reply. I really don't see what's the point of advertising 24/7 cams when they cannot get them to work properly. I mean, two weekly shows for members is pretty awesome, way over what the majority of solo sites do. Why not advertise that fact alone?

ControllingMind's Review
I'm curious about the cam shows. The free tour says she does 3 weekly cam shows, that she also has 3 cams live 24/7 from her home and that she broadcasts all her shoots and travels.
Is any of these claims for real? What does she do on the regular shows? Does she bring any guests? Are any of these shows archived? Thanks in advance for any further info.

TrashMan's Review
Good review. They are great content producers but their websites are subpar. This one is better than Matrix Nudes in some things but worse in others.
Just a very minor correction, though. I believe pictures at this site are offered in 4 sizes: maximum axis is 750, 1024, 1600 or 2000 pixels. Most of them are portrait and you have to click four times on the popup window every time to get to the highest resolution. I don't know if they license their photo content at greater than 2000px resolutions.

Try Matrix HD instead. The site has the same look but the join page works. I read somewhere some time ago that they were planning to make Matrix HD their consumer site instead of Matrix Nudes.

Never been a member of this site but I often use Firefox's DownThemAll and I occasionally get the file mismatch error at other sites. Even for large video files I rarely lose any data: it's nothing but the hassle of having to restart a paused download a couple times. Perhaps a Firefox specific forum or a generic question at the forum here might get you some answers.

Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- Official site of UK glamour model Melissa Debling.
- 5’3”, blonde, curvy, big boobs, no tattoo.
- 50+ photo sets. Average 100 photos per set.
- 1200x800 (75%), 1600x1050 (25%). 75% are portrait.
- Solo teasing in casual clothes. Up to topless.
- 60+ videos. 60% photo-shoot BTS, 40% camera teasing.
- Flash format, 720x400. Avg 5 Mbps video rate, 5 minutes long.
- Lots of closeups on boobs and ass in videos.
- One new photo gallery and one new video per week.
- A little bit of interaction: forum, short blog entries.
- Free tour makes me think it’s still updating.
- Free tour claims you may now also access other solo sites.
- Shop offers prints, posters and other merchandising.
- Billed by epoch. No regional pricing. |
Cons: |
- Model has recently been tweeting against joining this site.
- Most likely they won’t be updating/online for much longer.
- No metadata on photo galleries, videos (no release date, etc).
- Galleries compressed in RAR format instead of ZIP.
- RARs become available some days after gallery release.
- Slow motion segments, unrelated new-age music on every video.
- Videos are streaming only. No downloads available.
- No link between same scene’s photos, tease video and BTS.
- No webcam chats despite free tour lists the feature.
- No way to privately message the model. |
Bottom Line: |
This is or, more precisely, was the official site of UK glamour model Melissa Debling. Melissa Debling is blonde, petite, curvy and has a phenomenal rack and no tattoos. She has appeared in UK men’s Magazines like Nuts and Zoo, on the page 3 of tabloids and also on UK glamour websites like Only All Sites. I was reluctant to join this site after my experience with Official Lindsey Strutt from the same company but her looks made me take the plunge.
The type of content is very similar to that on Official Lindsey Strutt: very tame posing up to topless in casual clothes (almost no pantyhose, thank God). Videos are somewhat better here even though a bit repetitive. You get almost every video twice: as BTS of the photo shoot and as a tease segment. The only difference between the two is that in the tease segment the model looks at the camera while in the BTS she looks at the photographer. Melissa Debling seemed slightly more involved with the site, periodically replying to forum messages and posting short blog entries regularly but I’m pretty sure that has stopped.
It’s unclear whether this site will stay much longer online. Melissa Debling has for some time been warning on Tweeter not to join this site anymore. Even though, I see the site is now offering 3 and 6 month memberships. Free tour shows photo sets that have been released since my membership expired, but it seems unlikely they have enough new material to fill the next 6 months if the model is no longer shooting with them. You do get access to other sites from the company, which I didn’t get when I was a member.
I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with this company that keeps closing its sites after just a few months life. I was a member of a site from this company that closed without any explanation shortly after I knew about it as a new listing on TBP. Several sites from them are no longer accepting memberships or are plain and simply deleted after a very short time online. |

Another site powered by the same people, Naughty Natalie XOXO, also got a rave review with little info. I wrote a review for another site by them, Miss Laura Lee, whose picture content info shouldn't be much different from the one here.
The free section from these people usually shows the amount of content available in the members area. Be advised, though, that pictures are probably quite small and cannot be downloaded. Video sizes are probably big but there's no info on resolution or duration. Only a handful of videos. There's a free video sample which is 1280x720 (6000kbps); IMHO, very bad camera work, though.

Looks like the site has a decent amount of content, at least. I believe all sites in this network are as deceiving. I did a review for Simply Tory Lane some time ago.
Looks like they set up domain names with the models' names as mere bait. Seeing the "network" as a whole, there's some worth in it but, site by site, there's very little in any of them.

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.

Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
-Free section shows what you will get when you join.
-8 free galleries (non nude work).
-20 fairly good galleries in the pay section (site launched about a couple of months ago).
-Almonst only non-exclusive content but it comes from quality sites (Danni.com, Penthouse, Flaunt Girls).
-Mainly solo glamour sets. 6 girl-girl glamour sets.
-About 2 gallery updates a week. |
Cons: |
-Pictures cannot be saved to disk because a script prevents context menu from appearing (right click and keyboard button).
-No zip files.
-0 videos.
-Horizontal pictures are less than half as big as vertical ones: CMS limits picture's maximum width to 750px regardless of orientation (horizontal: 750x510; vertical:1150x750).
-Small thumbnails: longest axis is 45 px.
-Galleries are not categorized: a single page lists all galleries mixing free and pay, solo and girl-girl, etc.
-Images open in a 500x500 popup screen you must resize every time to get the whole picture.
-Asked to solve a CAPTCHA every time you login.
-24 pictures per gallery (on average). |
Bottom Line: |
This site does technically wrong its main (and currently only) goal: the photo galleries. It could be understandable for a free personal model profile site to prevent people downloading sample images. But this decision on a pay site in 2008 is hard to support.
The CMS (content management system) seems to be used on other sites by RT Web Designs. It looks like this site uses one of the most basic setups (others offer video, better diary options or chatrooms), but all sites seem to share the same photo gallery system. I'd expect similar trouble at those sites' galleries.
On the other hand there's nothing bad about the content. Very little is exclusive but it comes from quality sites like Penthouse or Danni.com and interesting photographers like Misha (from Misha Online) and Lisa Boyle (Flaunt Girls). There are some very good galleries (although also available at other sites).
The model also tries to make the most out of the options she has at hand, keeping a daily update on her work (in the free section) and posting new galleries and samples a couple of times a week.
Despite my low rating, I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants to sample Laura Lee's work but doesn't want to join the 3-4 sites she has worked for so far. I'd also give it some time: current options are limited, but the CMS seems quite flexible and adding video, a chatroom, better diary options or zip sets seems feasible. Adding more exclusive content would also benefit the site's attractive. |

JFYI, they've added the Avy Scott scene this week. It's a scene with Lexington Steele at Milfs Like It Black. Looks like they create the pornstar profile too early before the scene gets released.

Regarding the Carmella Bing scene, it's at Day With A Pornstar, a site that has recently been moved to Brazzer's Pass. Scenes are still listed at Mofos Network but all links are dead.

I agree they most likely won't have a text on the home page saying the model has retired.
But, at Reality Kings there are a couple sites that are no longer updating and they are listed on the update schedule inside the members section as "Site is not on a set update schedule". This applies both to sites that stopped updating time ago like "Flower Tucci" but also sites that currently update less than once a month like "Captain Stabbin".

Monique is a beauty and it's a pity her official site is the way it is. It doesn't benefit neither her nor Vivid. I remember Vivid used to have mini-sites showcasing the content of some of her girls; even that would be infinitely better than this. Thanks indeed for pointing to more sites where she can be found.
Thanks for the Marquis Models heads up too. In fact, a couple of the higher resolution videos at Nikki Nova are direct copies of her recent work at Marquis Models (elaborate tatoo); they still have the watermarks.

The good thing is that I didn't have to stick my credit card. I signed up for Nikki Nova and I got access to the whole network of sites.
It's really difficult to understand why Vivid are investing a lot of money in promoting their girls and let them have such an official site. I wouldn't run to an Adult Store to buy a Monique Alexander DVD if I had payed for a full month at this site.

I guess I should have written "last" instead of "final": there's zero information in the network regarding the reason why the updates have stopped so there's no way to tell whether the sites that are currently not updating have stopped for good or are just in a very long hiatus.
On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a site like Naked Movie will return from the dead after 10 months, even though coming back with a spoof of a zombie or after-life movie would be quite fitting.

Pros: |
-320 scenes on 10 very different sites.
-15 most recent scenes at 1024x560, 3000 kbps, MP4.
-Remaining scenes at up to 720x480, 1400 kbps, WMV.
-Very good flash player for streaming scenes.
-Good pictures, downloadable in zips (500 pics per scene).
-Great production values. Technically perfect.
-Still a very well-organized site. No additional features, though.
-Currently no download limit. Sustained 250 kbytes/s speed.
-White-label Naked.com webcams included.
-Free tour shows all 320 scenes you find inside. |
Cons: |
-Video downloads not queueable: URLs valid for 2 hours only.
-Only 3 sites updading (2 new scenes weekly).
-No explanations on the drastic reduction in updates.
-No blog, no user forum, no site news, no scene comments.
-Their claim to be offering HD is very debatable.
-Still has metadata issues: mistaken performers or keywords.
-Free tour doesn't show release dates.
-There used to be a download limit earlier this year. |
Bottom Line: |
I didn't expect to come back to this network so soon but I got a cheap cross-sale trial and, when cancelling it, knowingly accepted a multi-month membership at a ridiculously low price. At that time, I thought I had struck a good deal: they were updating 6 times a week and they had added three new sites since my last visit that looked interesting and had the usual hardcore US stars I like. I was very wrong.
The only three sites that have been updating for the last couple months are Molly's Life, Cumfu and Manuel Uncut. Molly's Life is like a metronome every week on Mondays and you get a second scene from one of the other sites every two weeks. This has reduced the update rate from 6 updates per week back in July 2009 to the current meager 2 new weekly scenes. Apart from Molly's Life, I wouldn't take anything for granted, though, because the other two sites have been absent for a month in the past.
Most of the last updates from the other 7 sites date back to June 2009, although some of the sites stopped even earlier. Naked Movie released its 7th and final scene in February 2009, a "Ghost Busters" parody titled "Nut busters" with a stellar cast: Gianna Michaels, Rachel Roxxx, and Shyla Stylez plus Jordan Ash and Voodoo. The three new sites that prompted me to stay were King Dong (a grand total of 24 scenes that wouldn't look like out of place at that other network that has the word Big in all its sites' titles; last update in June 2009), Porn Stars Lick (13 lesbian scenes mostly with boy-girl US stars; last update in September 2009) and Manuel Uncut (34 scenes and counting supposed to revolve around Manuel Ferrara but it looks like he isn't always at home and other guys have to step in to entertain the ladies).
Molly's Life and Cumfu offer what they call HD (1024x560, in fact) and Manuel Uncut still goes with the usual 720x480 despite the couple most recent updates are labelled as HD. Apart from these recent dozen of so-called HD video scenes, the technical aspects of the network have stayed mostly the same. This new resolution is streaming only but you still get to download the full clip WMV at 720x480, split in parts or at lower iPod-friendly resolution. They've also ironed out some minor flaws in their flash player and now it's even more convenient (they got the thumbnail functionality right, etc). Images stay at 900x600 but they still do a pretty good job. Website design hasn't changed a bit but it was very solid to begin with.
Go for the trial or monthly membership since you'll likely find something that will catch your eye. But carefully consider staying longer than a month because things aren't exactly ramping up. |

As I said in my review, I got the fully working trial to Muffia when joining Reality Kings but I don't know whether direct trials to Muffia are fully working too. Sorry I can't help you.
You could try writing a new comment to Muffia asking about it. It's highly likely some current member or someone from The Best Porn staff will know the answer.

The trial I got was a 3 day full-access and I didn't notice any download limits. It's certainly possible to join Muffia without being a Reality Kings member but, at least at that time, I could download almost everything I was interested in from Muffia in those 3 days.
