Note: you don't have a choice of your method of payment. You send an e-mail as per Alex's instructions in the blog and you get a response that your card used for your ALS Scan membership has been charged and you are informed as to your login info for ALS Angels.
This was fine with me, but people should know how the promo is being handled. If you have a desire for things to be handled differently in your particular case, you will want to include that info in your original e-mail on the subject.
Bring on the dudes is right - man, I really like the 2 sample pics posted today - the one where Jimmy's licking her pussy while she holds his head there and the one where he's fucking her with the squash or whatever the hell that is - the look on her face is phenomenal and she's got a bod to die for.
Every sample pic I've seen of Amy has been awesome, in my opinion - she reminds me a bit of Courtney Simpson - another rough & ready blonde that ooooooozes sex and has an incredible bod to boot.
This is gonna be an interesting year for ALS Scan - kudos to them for not staying in one place just because they have been around a while.
I'm not sure how this is uncharted waters for ALS Scan - they had that BTS scene with Tanner doing her boy/girl shoot for Club Sandy that included all manner of penetration.
This is the first shoot that they have done where they booked the male talent, I guess.
This may partly be their response to the market and it may be them wanting to go with the flow with their models.
One of the most memorable parts of this last year's Caribbean beach shoot for me was Tanner crawling up to Jeremy while he was doing vid, asking him "You want to play never-never land?" He said, "What's that?" and Tanner said "Well, you've never been in my mouth before" and went for his cock. Jeremy cut away with the camera but I wish he hadn't. They're booking pretty naughty girls who like playing with cock and are good at it and perhaps they're feeling like they ought to bring 'em on and see how it goes.
I dunno. It doesn't upset me if they get hot material. I have to say that others who have ventured into hard-core don't do so well.
Nubiles.net's boy/girl scenes aren't good. Sarah Peachez' blow-job scenes aren't exciting, neither are Jana Cova's. Phil-Flash's ventures into boy/girl aren't as good as his solo-girl & girl/girl stuff at all. But none of them have gone to only-boy/girl, so I feel like they ought to do what they want to do because the lack of restrictions probably makes them happier about doing their sites.
I feel the same way about ALS Scan - maybe their boy/girl stuff will be mediocre, but if it keeps them feeling excited and refreshed about doing the site, then their other material will be better for it.
Sites seem to vary about the labeling of re-mastered material. ALS Scan has heavily promoted some re-mastered releases - put them out as bonuses. I thought they looked like crap, personally. Perhaps enough people did that they decided to just remaster some stuff that wouldn't look like crap - the stuff I mentioned above looks good - and don't make a big deal about it.
FTV Girls has promoted some re-releases, I've noticed.
1-by-Day used to do clear labelling, then they stopped - probably for the marketing reason.
I suspect that for the majority of the porn-loving public, new is considered better than "back in the day" or other re-packaging of older material.
No - you can download zip files of the photo-sets, but I haven't seen anything mentioned on the site about these CD's. I would bet that they still have all of the photo-sets up at the site if they did previously. So you can get them again in zips.
On 3/02, they released a Brea BTS vid - don't know if it's a re-release but it's not newly shot
On 2/28/10, they released an Angelica Crow photo set - I believe most of her stuff had been released on ALS Angels - so these were probably unreleased extra pics, though not newly shot material
On 2/26/10, they released a Shelby & Amy Lee vid - again either a re-remaster or not, it's not newly shot
On 2/24/10, they released a vid from their St Johns trip - probably a remaster
On 2/16/10, they released an Angie vid that was probably a remaster
2/12/10, the St Martin vid is probably a remaster
2/08/10 - the Kylie vid is probably a re-master
2/02/10 - the Tori vid is probably a remaster
So that's an idea of the frequency
So from 2/02 to 3/02 there were 8 posts that were re-releases/re-masters or otherwise not newly shot and 28 posts that were newly shot/released material - one of which was a bonus with almost 2 hours of vid.
With ALS Scan, they release material based on popularity as well as the owner's tastes - so they do have some material that I would classify in the new category, such as the 2007 Caribbean trip HD vid because it was a new release - but that's 1 out of 28
I wouldn't be surprised if some day they do a re-design of the whole site behind the scenes and spring it on us - I could imagine fantasy navigation where you put your cursor over a pic of a model and get a few second of vid of one of her hottest scenes.
Maybe if they feel that they've done all the upgrading needed for a while in their content and equipment, they'll turn their eyes to the design.
Re-designs, though, can be one of those "be careful what you wish for" propositions - Babes.tv, for instance had an older-looking site, did a re-design and had a less distinctive looking site at the same time that their content fell off a cliff - so it wasn't exactly a cause for joy.
In the main, my view towards the overall design of a site is "if it ain't broke, don't worry about it." The key thing that ALS Scan needed to do was to get their navigation in hand - and they've done that in the main, since you can now see all of the solo content of a model by clicking on her pic - and get pointed to the group and bonus shoots that she was involved in.
It's far from my fave ALS Scan material (that would be their Caribbean trip stuff), but I love Tanner and she looks great here. I'm glad that they are doing more different stuff and it's fun to get a BTS of a glamour-porn site shoot (Tanner's doing a shoot for ClubSandy.com in this scene).
Editing to try to avoid repeating what Sarah said above
She makes the point of how much more material thay shoot than can be posted on a regular schedule - so why don't the less popular models show up more?
They wouldn't be as successful if they were posting the less popular models in place of the more popular models so it wouldn't be in their interest to do so.
The thing to do with ALS Scan, since you say that you know that's how they work, is to make your voice heard. When you like a model, e-mail them, make sure they know. If there's material that you've been waiting for but haven't seen, e-mail them, make sure they know. Because, as you and I both know, it's not just the order of scenes, but when or if the scenes show up at all.
There have been times when a model was mentioned in the Director's Blog or a Casting Special and then you never see her material because they're more excited about other models and so are the members.
I'm encouraging them to put up some Anita Pearl stuff from the Caribbean '09 trip. Every pic I've seen of her and every moment of vid, she looks fantastic, but they haven't put up anything featuring her - apparently they have quite a bit, so I'm hoping to see more of her very soon - If not, I'll keep asking.
Releases at ALS Scan are very much dependent on member feedback - if they're hearing from members that they want to see more more more of a certain model, they'll put up her stuff fast. If they don't hear from members, it can be a long time - a year or more - before more of her scenes are put up.
Yes, Amia has a tat on her neck - I like it, personally - tats on necks mean that the girls who have them REALLY like having their necks kissed, licked, bitten, etc
The only girl that had been on a previous trip was Jana Jordan
Amia Moretti now Amia Miley was there, though she was a disappointment - in a pissy mood the whole time, unfortunately
Jayme Langford was there, though I'm not terribly into her and she let Jana carve that wound into her wrist right before the trip - just to give me another reason to turn my head whenever she was around
Jana herself was fucking amazing
Blue Angel - first Caribbean trip - was fantastic
Tanner Mayes - first Caribbean trip - was as amazing as Jana
Hailey Young -first Caribbean trip - was a real revelation for me. I hadn't been into her before but she's got terrific sexual energy and is a really fun girl
Anita Pearl - first Caribbean trip - haven't seen much footage of her, but every pic I've seen is gorgeous
Fuck yeah! They just posted a new model the other day - Tanner Mayes - that is one of the cutest girls they have ever had on the site. Rebecca Blue is new in '09, I believe and is also gorgeous. Oh, and Sarah Peachez going ALS style modelling - who'da thunk it?
They're continuing to upgrade older content. Their new vids have a download option of 1920 X 1080 HD WM. There's nothing that gets worse at this site, in my opinion. It continues to be my favorite site. You can learn a lot about what's there by using their tour, which is pretty detailed & extensive.
I know that there are those that really like Sapphic Erotica - I was a member on a couple of occasions and found it to be like watching paint dry as compared to ALS Scan, which has the best girl/girl stuff on the net by far, in my opinion.
Someone had e-mailed Alex these commments - he responded to them in his Director's Blog today, so I thought I would post them where the comments originated:
"In response to the first comment: We are not going to change this. In a photoset of 200-400 pictures there may be 5-10 photos where we will step back and show the crew helping out. Whether it is Jimmy holding the video light or Jeremy videotaping the model, or maybe just an overview shot of the entire set, there are so few shots like this that I do not understand how it can be a problem. So my response to that comment is: get over it, man. If that bothers you, "wow!" Just delete those few shots from your set. The value in providing those behind the scenes shots is greater then the possibility of it upsetting a few uptight people. Especially when it is so easy to just delete the pictures that you do not like.
In response to the second comment: I see your point. Not everything we do will appeal to everybody. That is impossible. But we use baby oil in 1 or 2 (out of 7 or 8) sets that we shoot of a model because those are the sets that consistently get voted the highest. Not to mention I constantly receive emails from members saying how much they like that wet, baby oil look. Again, we try to please the masses but we cannot please everybody. As for the lollipops: yes, we have been using them for no more than one (1) set with each model lately. They offer the perfect prop that can give the model something to play with and it can be inserted nicely into the pussy and looks great going in and out. We are always open to new ideas on different things that we can have the models play with and insert, but the lollipops work so well and the models love them. Remember ALS Scan is about finding the hottest models in the world that are willing to insert the craziest things, presented in the highest photo and video quality on the internet, everything from glamour to hard shots. Anybody can find pretty girls and photograph them dancing around and posing, but get them to spread their pussies, or even better, stretch them to the max and insert wild and crazy objects, well THAT is what we do like nobody else can. Keep the ideas coming but they have to be reasonable and not hurt the model in anyway. Is everybody going to like everything we do? NO! But we do try our best and are open to new ideas such as finding something better to insert than lollipops.
My response to the third comment is simple. No worries, it is an extra feature and will never take away from any of our normal updates or offerings. It merely presents more material to our members at no cost that they may not have ever seen."
To me the schoolgirl thing is especially fun if it's obviously unbelievable - like when Lisa Boyle & Crissy Moran did schoolgirl sets into their 30's - mmmmmm - so hot! I would love to see Lanny Barbie do a schoolgirl set with frilly socks, stiletto stripper heels, french cut panties and a top that makes her boobs pop out like crazy.
I'm not saying that I don't like believable stuff, but porn is about fantasy, so I say bring on the aliens with monster cocks, the hot non-school-age schoolgirls, nympho cuties that want to fuck every single guy they see, the crazy footwear that no normal woman would even try to wear, the inability of a woman to walk across the room without dropping things so she has to bend over and give us a great upskirt view - and all the other unbelievable things that make fun campy outrageous porn.
Mmmmmm - lollipops being licked by women over eighteen. That and pony tails and school outfits on women in their twenties.
Now you're playing my tune - I love that stuff!!
In straight movies, one of my fave scenes was in Dogma with Salma Hayek as the stripper Muse, in full schoolgirl regalia with pigtails, glasses and a lollipop - looking way over 18 - mmmmm!!!!
Excuse me - I've got to go see Charmane Starr feature dance at my fave strip club - I hope she's wearing a school girl outfit!
Agreed, Sarah - this is absolutely my fave site - and I'm not a huge fan of the gape and crazy insertion shots - they have PLENTY of shots of gorgeous young models, clothed, semi-clothed and nude, besides the crazy insertion shots - and they have EASILY the hottest girl/girl vids I've seen anywhere - fantastic stuff that makes Sapphic Erotica look like paint drying in comparison.
You say that you were a member several months ago and you thought that the layout sucked - if that's the case, you wouldn't see any improvement. If you were a member over a year ago and were looking for some improvement, there has been considerable. They stopped taking vids off the network - they all stay up except for bonuses, which are for limited time only.
They also changed the layout so that all pic sets and vids can be accessed under the model's name.
They also put the polls in their own section, so if there are any open polls as to which older sets they should upgrade first or which sets of new models they should release first, you can find them easily and vote rather than e-mailing Alex.
I love this site, so I just want them to keep on going - and upgrading as the technology gets better, which they are very committed to.
How do they get the girls so smooth and bump-free? Photo-shopping. Alex once showed some before-and-after pics because members were asking how much photo-shopping they did and he is an honest guy. They just photo-shop the bumps and blemishes etc and leave everything else the way it it. As to the vids, it's an interesting question, since they look just as clean and bump-free - soft lenses?
