I think it's a nice feature you can choose to stream or download these bonus "advertising" sets.
For example, the video with Kasey Chase from Nubiles titled Smack My Butt has a runtime of 22 minutes 12 seconds, and can be downloaded in 4 choices:
HD 720p (WMV file, 578 MB)
HD 720p (h.264 file, 533 MB)
SD 480p (255 MB)
LD 360p (175 MB)
I normally choose the highest definition, largest file size, because I figure that's going to give the best, clearest picture to watch.
But I should really test the other file sizes, to see if there's a real difference in picture quality, that I can see.
It would save a lot of hard drive space if I downloaded these files choosing a smaller size.
I look at the videos and photos on a computer monitor, not a large TV screen.
And I've noticed that, for myself, at least, I can't really tell any difference in most small-sized, lower quality photos than a huge-sized, high quality photo. That's assuming we're talking about a recent photo set from MetArt or one of the other high-quality photo sites.
And I just bought a new 3 TB hard drive two days ago, because I keep running out of disk space.
The prices on new, larger hard drives keeps dropping, which is wonderful, but how many hard drives do I really need? It's like an addiction.
I'm pretty sure Double View Casting offers a photo set for each scene...but I can't really remember, to be honest. I don't really have an interest in photos, so I didn't pay much attention. I know for sure First Anal Quest has photo sets for each scene, and that site is the same set up as this one, so I would assume Double View Casting has photo sets as well.
Yes, I love the "Members Area Preview." And they seem to have a nice backlog of material, including, just today, early stuff of Natalia Forrest -- and Sasha (Sara there) pre-boob job.
Perhaps not all of it will be exclusive to TD, but it's certainly one of the best non-exclusive sites around.
I was comparing three different versions of a set of Marry Queen once, and two other sites had cut out a few photos that I thought were really choice, but TeenDreams had them all! And with practically no "watermark" visual noise, either.
Been a member several times - and each time I wrote the webmaster and got an alternative billing co. to get that $ 19.95 price - and did. But it's quite some time ago.
Think I'm going to try again - that site had and/or has a lot to offer - got to think about that reading yours and messmers inputs here, so...thanks
I saw the slide show button earlier on but thought it was for members only until curiosity drove me to click it, just to see what would happen! This pretty well takes care of my remark that the thumbnails should be bigger. A real neat feature!
One other neat thing I just discovered, Capn, is the fact that if you click on a set you might like you get the option of a slide show of three consecutive pictures. This gives you a much better idea about the girl and what she is wearing. I am tempted to subscribe!
Appears to be a nice site, Capn. Trouble is the thumbnails are too small to be able to make out what the girls are wearing. The first three models I looked at "seemed" to wear nothing that would appeal to me. Larger thumbnails would have encouraged me to browse a bit more.
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but no model, in my opinion, did the tease as well as Eve Angel in her older sets. She's lost most of it now in her newer content, but her content from say 2004-2008, the striptease would last for, on average, half of a video. And you could tell she thoroughly enjoyed it. Having seen some of her newer content, the tease has been cut in about half. I don't know if that's the new producer's fault or if Eve is just getting tired of the business.
Actually both you and anyonebutme were mostly right, I did an illogical thing and compared the reduced price offered through TBP with the price offered in the email. That's why there was such a huge difference between $ 24.95 and $ 33.00 for me.
In actuality, when bypassing TBP and responding to the email, it would be a regular price of $29.95 for Nubiles and CA $ 33.00 for both Nubiles and Metart. A negligible difference indeed.
Now my clear thinking is leaving me! Help and apologies for a not so necessary comment. I'll stick with my comment re. videosz practices, though! :-)
Not according to my reckoning, Capn. $ 24.95 for Nubiles as a stand alone and $ 33.00 for both. It is true that if I by-passed TBP the price might be the same but since I don't like Metart anyway the best thing for me would be to subscribe to Nubiles through here.
My general observations re. email (see videosz) are simply this: that I don't think I need special limited email time offers to get a good deal if TBP gives me that deal all year long.
I have to admit i still object to this regional pricing but as i was able to join Watch 4 Beauty for $19.95 instead of the usual $29.95 it made the $2 dollar regional pricing supplement a bit easier to swallow.
I really like the look of this site and sometimes feel like looking at some real amateur models like these for a change....one can become tired of all those slender perfect looking models on the nude art glamour sites after a while but as you say the lack of zip files here is rather off putting. I suppose Abbey Winters would probably be the best bet for some amateur models with zipable photo sets.
It's been a while since I've been a member, but this is just another artsy nude site, Cap'n.
To find what you want, it might be easier to start your own porn site. You might get a few members like messmer. But strip tease went out in the dark ages as far as porn is concerned.
The trend is: Show Me The Good Stuff! The sooner the better.
Its not a striptease site Cap'n, similar to Met and Mpl studios in style, mostly plain nude at start or skimpy glam wear as you said. There is the odd set where the model starts fully clothed but they are rare. I should have my review of the site up in a few hours.
Goddess Nudes does have some clothed pictures, but I wouldn't call them stripteases. You know the kind, there will be five completely clothed pictures then in the 6th picture the model is completely nude. Not much in-between clothed and nude. I'm like you, I like the progression, anticipation and tease then the nudity. I do at least like that they have some clothed since that at least let me know what the model looks like clothed. The other thing Goddess Nudes adds is that some of the pictures show more pink, more provocative poses. On Domai, the provocative poses are often planned out not to show everything. Like one model, believe it is Victoria, has a great body, curves and there is a picture of her in doggystyle, but the photo is taken looking at her face so you don't get to see the other side of the pose. Another of this Zulfija, she's in rushing water, two photos in this pose, legs spread open and the water is rushing right between her legs blocking any explicit view. I guess that could be considered a tease in a way, but teases that don't ever let me see what was being teased frustrate me!
But it is hard to beat that Goddess Nudes price at $4.95 a month. I'm not going to post a review on it since Drooler's review covers most of it, but I am going to post a comment with updated content numbers.
You haven't seen what we have yet Cap'n, but here's the scoop. For the four years we're online, I've heard a clamoring for video. The models who want to do it, want to do it with us. Lily, one of the original FigureBaby models, shoots video and does it very well. You'll see them soon, but with both of us shooting video, we have a wealth of content we've not yet tapped, and we'd like to share it. As far as a clamoring for more, I doubt it. I think you speak for most of our audience who like us for our silly and unpolished style. Let me go on record here and now with a promise to our fans. There will never be hardcore on FigureBaby. End of story. I don't like hardcore. Our inspiration is pinup pictures and stag reels, not hardcore. And I'm not keen on seeing sex toys either, so they don't fit our current vibe and we will continue to marginalize them.
One thing to remember is I'm also a fan of the genre, like you. I look at some mainstream sites that have nice photography and wonder why the videos all have toys, little interaction with the camera, and models who are acting just a little too hard. Not that there isn't an audience for that, there's a huge audience for it, but there is a big missing piece between the nude pictures and the masturbation video. Where are the striptease videos? I want to share quality tease videos, and if they lead to the model enjoying herself just a little more than we would ask, I think that's OK. Obviously you'll have to decide if we got it right once it starts getting posted, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. I think everyone else (mainstream porn audience) will be disappointed, but FigureBaby is not for them. It's for us.
From what i have heard i agree with you Cap'n, and when i said harder i didn't mean more hardcore stuff but more up front nudity, maybe a few close ups... not dildos, lesbian sex ect... Looking back now i used the wrong word.
That's why FB is one of my favorites because it reflects that pin up style and i hope it doesn't change much (especially the price !) but in some earlier sets i think it could have been more risky or even a little more up front. Like you said though it's maturing and i have noticed in its sets that they are getting to be more to my liking. We will have to see what direction the site goes to in the future but as of right now, not complaining too much !
Well, I wouldn't say that, actually; there are a few site issues, but overall it works well. For me it is the material itself that doesn't quite work; the quality and production values are great, but I found it a bit too slick, and a bit formulaic.
The previews you see are representative; the majority of sets and videos start with underwear or something flimsy. The ones I kept tend to be those starting with a little more, but they still don't fulfil the ideals of a full strip with plenty of tease.
There is a lot of material, though, and the TBP price is good, so if you see anything in the previews that grabs you, it may be worth a try.
Why do people join a softcore photography site and then start demanding masturbation videos....i'll never understand that. I don't go to their double penetration ass fucking sites and start demanding softcore glamour nude art photography so why can't they just stick to their own sites and leave the ones we like alone.....and we are expected to pay more in the future to cover the increased bandwidth cost of those demanding videos no doubt.
Is this a nude site or are the models dressed in the beginning of a set, Cap'n? Do any of them wear lingerie. It's a bit hard to tell from the preview.
