There are several models in this site that have appeared in US porn websites or DVDs. Mostly newcomers or models who did a handful of scenes in the past.
Huge mistake: there's no mention of the fact in their profiles and they are neither sortable nor searchable by this criteria. I noticed live at some point Angelina Ash, Erika Vution, Havana Ginger, Kayme Kai, Piper Austin, Savana Ginger and Tiffani Thompson.
There are also others that have a profile but haven't uploaded new sample pictures in a long time: most likely, they are no longer active if they were ever. Dylan Ryder, Elli Foxx, Jenna Doll, Katja Kassin, Riley Rey, Sinnamon Love or Tanner Mayes.
I am sure there are more: several of them seem to work/have worked from the same studio (exact same background in sample pictures) so there must be others that I didn't catch during Europe day-time or didn't recognize.
Beware: there's a Eastern European cam studio that names its models with pornstar names like xoxoNikkiBenz or xxJennyHendrix. A glimpse during the free chat is more than enough to see they are not the US porn stars.
I got a promo email from them today announcing they have launched a new free site by the name Gamerotica. There's a message board and sections where users can share the content they've generated with this company's games: models, custom movies, screen shots, etc. The only games that have this option are 3D Sex Villa 2 (3D Sex Games), Hentai 3D 2 and 3D Gay Villa 2. Why not 3D Lesbian?
If you have a current game account for any of those sites, you have to link it to a new Gamerotica account in order to access the shared content. Looks complicated and a BETA in capital letters: lots of things were not working. Don't bother creating one if you don't have a current membership: no access without them.
As I said in my 09-28-08 review and 06-25-08 comment, I felt that being able to share user generated content and building a community around this software were a must so I was excited to see it happen. My sudden desire to join back the site faded pretty fast as I got tangled in the account creation process. Hope they polish the product and get out of beta soon.
Reading through Nikki Nova's blog, it looks like she switched webmasters and the new one did a total makeover. The site might now have some kind of connection with the Aziani network: I understood the current webmaster is or was connected at some point with Rachel Aziani's site.
I haven't been a member in this new incarnation of the site: there's no longer a trial option and membership starts now at 24.95 USD. According to her blog, I gather some of the low quality content didn't make it to the new site. There's probably still a lot of focus on interaction and it looks like there are still regular webcam shows but no longer through the 1ModelCam Network.
Needless to say, my Nikki Nova review from 05-25-08 is probably pretty inaccurate right now.
Looks like shows at this site have the same rules as those at Cam With Her: Private is non-nude but VIP is almost always topless (at model's discretion). Credits bought at Cam With Her may also be used here but Cam With Her members' discount doesn't apply.
On the other hand, it isn't a total clone of Cam With Her: this site has no members section while Cam With Her does. Even though models that are online at Cam With Her are online here at the same time for the exact same prices, there are also Non-Nude Cams-only models and you may only see preview images of them at this site.
To complicate matters further, online Non-Nude Cams-only models appear on a drop-down list of available models at Cam With Her but you don't get their profile and preview images there. Shows with Non-Nude Cams models started from Cam With Her don't get the 20% members' discount either.
According to forum posts at Cam With Her, models make it to Non-Nude Cams when they are new or cannot be online much often.
Cam With Her credits can also be used here and most models can also be found here. For reasons beyond my understanding, some of them (including several of the most popular ones at Cam With Her) appear listed here under different names although it's easy to spot matches through the photos and the fact they are online at the same time. Others use their Cam With Her name with a [NAC] suffix.
Cam With Her drop down list of performers also shows Nude Adult Cams ones (and Non-Nude Cams ones) but you only get the 20% member discount for the Cam With Her profiles.
From what I read in the forum, for most Cam With Her models, Private here means full nudity (VIP at Cam With Her is only topless) and VIP means toy use. That makes 4 service levels over 2 sites under two different names.
You'd better ask first in the free chat to avoid surprises...
So far, the tour shows 8 scenes but, are there really so many sisters in US porn? Among those that aren't yet at the site and might still be active I can only think of the Milton Twins. Also, Ava Rose and Mia Rose. Will they stop at 10 scenes? Bring back some? Start with amateurs?
Zeina Heart has been appearing in several sites and DVDs over the last few months so I decided to give the site a try. To anyone else also pondering the possibility to join it, the site has a decent amount of content but it's no longer updating.
Numbers are slightly higher than those listed at the TBP facts (currently, around 90 photosets and 40 videos of Zeina Heart) and content is not dated but I'm pretty sure nothing new has been released over the last year.
What's more, I found some broken links but I couldn't find webmaster contact information anywhere so there's no way to know where this site is headed.
It's not unusual for a model to be the webmaster of her own site but this one takes it one step further: she is not only the model but also the photographer. In a couple of youtube videos available in the free section, she can be seen setting up a camera and lighting equipment with an auto shoot interval; she then keeps on holding the poses until the flash goes on.
I didn't find the end result so bad when I was a member more than a year ago but I haven't been able to locate any of the content I downloaded. I remember, though, that it was a bit weird to browse through a photo gallery and not see the scenario move an inch. The pictures were on the smaller side and I believe there were very few videos if any at that time. She seems to be actively doing web cam shows on Private Camz and other networks.
She started doing boy-girl scenes during 2008 but I doubt the content of the site goes beyond some toy use. She recently announced in her free blog, though, that she will no longer do any more hardcore work but will continue to produce new content for this site for some time.
I signed up for free about a month ago and I've been getting weekly emails announcing their themed weekends, where most hosts get dressed in some theme. So far, they've done secretary, nurse or halloween but this weekend (right after 2008 US Election Day) they are doing "Huge Election Finale" where "It's your right to choose... which positions you want them in". I just checked and most hosts seem to be unusually fond of US flags of all shapes and sizes.
I don't know if weekends are the slowest part of the week and they use this theme thing to lure people into the site but they certainly craft some interesting pieces of email marketing. Last week's halloween email also had a good one: "So get your sweet, long lollipop out and enjoy some lickin' action by our masked hotties!"
I signed up to a free account because I saw several porn stars are regularly there. But the price structure is not explained anywhere and I'm reluctant to get credits that I probably wouldn't be able to use anyway because of time differences.
This site is available with Twistys membership since 09/2008. Currently, you'll have to login here again, though. I didn't see it listed at Twistys members area start page with the other sites in the network (Blue Fantasies, Anette Dawn, Naughty Staff, etc) but there's an announcement in the Twistys forum. Twistys staff also said they'll be reediting the existing pictures and videos to improve the overall quality.
Site isn't updating much, though: no new photo sets in a couple months and one new video only every couple weeks since 09/2008.
Joining through ccbill, I was offered an unchecked 3-day trial to Twistys for 2.45 EUR (they are using regional pricing so it was 17.95 EUR for one month DVD at Videobox and 2.45 EUR for Twistys). I had never been to Twistys so that additional trial closed the deal even more for me.
Any current or recent member could tell me whether Brooke Banner is active (diary entries, message board activity, etc)?
According to TBP facts, updates seem to be coming on a regular basis but I was a member some time ago and the site was moving very slow and Brooke Banner was nowhere to be seen despite the home page promises.
Euro models don't do it for me so I was a bit bummed when I saw that this site currently has content for only 12 US models (plus 2 more to be added in the near future). It's weird because some of it is 100% exclusive (models do interviews with Babelicious-branded microphones) and that's what prompted me to join. Some of it is somewhat old and from lesser known models. I only recognized Jelena Jensen, Cassia Riley, Jaime Hammer, Tiffany Brookes, Penny Flame and a very young Amy Ried.
On the other hand, you also get access to Sexy Babes which I believe doesn't have any exclusive content but has 150+ different US models. Content seems to be as well categorized as it is here, so I'll probably visit Sexy Babes much more and grab some sets I've seen a 100 times but never bothered to download to keep.
I also used a cross-sell for a trial membership to Babes.tv which seems to have a higher ratio of US models and some interesting and probably exclusive videos and photo sets.
This is not really a complaint as I knew there would be a majority of Euro models and I was interested in some of the 100% exclusive content but I thought it was worth mentioning for those like me who don't care much about Euro models.
For 32.95 USD/22.22 EUR, you can get 90 days of 3D Sex Villa 2 (their main product); renews at the same price recurring every 90 days. Plus, 30 days free access (renews at regular price) to another of their sites (3D Gay Villa or Hentai Park). It is also possible to do any combination with the 3 products (ex: Hentai-90, Sex Villa-30).
Offer lasts until June 28th 2008. You have to click on the half-off sale on top of the home page.
I had a trial subscription some months ago and I was really impressed with the end result. There were some minor bugs and annoyances and had some trouble understanding the concept of the game but the high resolution animations you get are quite spectacular and, reading the reviews of similar products here, they probably have the best sex simulator in the market.
What annoyed me the most was that the scenes you film aren't playable outside the program. You can record in AVI the scenes you direct but you only get to replay them in a tiny window inside their software. You can also take pictures which are viewable with any external software (PNG or JPEG, probably).
I also feel that it's a mistake on their part not to have some kind of community where members can share their findings. A simple message board where users could help each other getting started would probably reduce the amount of support emails they receive. Advanced users would also be able to share their latest directed scenes or pictures. Member retention would surely increase.
++ EDIT ON 2008-Jun-06 ++
ccbill's reply: it's a regular monthly membership. "'12 times' means is that you would have to resubscribe after a years worth of service"
++
Default ccbill option reads "$29.95(USD) for 30 days then $29.95(USD) recurring every 30 days 12 times" (notice the trailing 12 times). If I don't get it wrong, you are in for a $359.40(USD) 12 month subscription if you don't cancel during the first month. I've checked other sites that use ccbill and none has the "12 times" final part in their rebilling text.
Anyway, just a reminder to keep on double checking what you sign up for even if it is through ccbill. I rarely rebill so I usually sign up for ccbill sites without paying much attention to rebill fees as the part before the THEN is usually my only fee. Never imagined this type of rebilling was remotely possible.
Absolutely no complaint regarding the current content. The site was relaunched recently (April 2008) but it seems to have the content from the previous site. New content is mainly candids from her recent travels and a weekly glamour gallery (both OK for me). Lives up to tour promises of updates, model diary and message board. Message board has replies by Nikki Benz herself that she'll consider shooting all types of rarely seen content of her exclusively for the site (anal, bbg, interracial). We are talking Nikki Benz here so if the site eventually offers this rare content (currently doesn't) may be worth checking often, even rebilling.
I was recently a member and it looks like it's the exact same content as Matrix Nudes but better organized, with a new look and more usable. Kind of a Matrix Nudes 2.0. It also looks like they are going to market this site more than the other.
So, if you are considering whether to join Matrix Nudes, I would recommend trying this instead. Trial membership is a real bargain and I had not problem cancelling (epoch billing system).
I believe they have recently launched and there are, in fact, some glitches. For instance, the link to the members' area you get once you sign up didn't work and had to use one on the homepage that did work. Also, some of the user interface changes aren't necessarily for the better: I don't like that photos open in a popup window.
Despite being the official site of current Vivid Girl Monique Alexander, the only thing you get are 36 photo galleries at 1024x690 and one (as in 1) stripping video clip shot in 2004. Everything was shot and updated prior to early 2006.
Considering that, by the photography style and file naming, probably 99% of them were shot by Matrix Content (Matrix Nudes is their customer site but their pictures can be found at many other sites) you may find the same galleries at higher resolutions at various multimodel sites.
There's a message board which is mainly used to voice people's dismal at what they are being offered. Thought it was worth mentioning the current site state for others considering it.
Follow-Up - 02-20-11:
I see Monique Alexander has now a new site part of Premium Pass network. Free tour there lists many recent videos so my comment from 2008 obviously doesn't apply to this new site.
If you follow the link to Monique Alexander.net, the join button takes you to Monique Alexander new site. Most likely, the site I described in 2008 no longer exists.
The free tour promises live shows but there is no option for them inside or a schedule. I found several complaints at the site forum from people who had joined for the shows and hadn't got any so I thought it was worth stressing this fact here with a comment. I think there have never been any live shows, neither they are to be expected in the future.
Also, although it seems that Shay Laren was quite active in the past, when I checked last week, there had been no diary update since October 23, 2007 and no forum post since December 18, 2007.
Site is still being updated weekly with at least a gallery or video but don't expect any of the Interactive promises from the free tour. The content, though, is quite good as Monahan's review already says.
The tour announces constant updates, 100s of picture galleries, weekly live cam shows, erotic stories written by the model, diary entries, a member forum, ...
No year is given in the updates but, according to the month sequence of the last ones, this site has received only 4 updates in the last two years. So long to constant updates. Needless to say that the other promises are nowhere to be seen. Did they ever exist?
As per the content, you get good glamour galleries at low 1000x600 resolution. 100 solo galleries and about 50 girl-girl with other well known glamour models and porn stars. 30 videos, mostly solo, a few girl girl. Low resolution MPEG is the most usual (about 400px wide). Some WMV at low 320x240 resolution.
The dates of most galleries and videos are within a short period of time which makes me believe that the site had a pretty solid content when it was launched (in 2006?) but hasn't received any other updates.
I didn't know anything about the model (came here via a memberhsip to another Medium Pimpin website) but it looks like she signed with Club Jenna in 2006 to make girl-girl scenes. That would explain why updates stopped and why 2 of the last 4 updates are girl-girl sets and the other two are a magazine cover and some BTS photos from a shoot.
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.
