Why, yes! There's some "casual" wear here and there, but there's a lot of lingerie and bikinis. Long, sleek, low-cut formal evening gowns are not to be found, at least to my recollection. And, as it is a glam site, not an amateur site, the girls are pretty well established in the biz.

My impression is that some of the gravure models who do nude work start that late in their career (after losing or not getting the popularity/attention they were hoping for?). A few will even get into hardcore.
But the major work of gravure is non-nude photography. Because the girls can be lovely, and the photography so excellent, the photos can be erotic as well. I can't stress how lovely some of these models can be in their photos.
But it also appears that this site is showing a lot of non-exclusive photos. These were photos taken over the years, not for this site, that were already published. And this site has collected a number of these photos and is posting them to make its contents much larger than it would be otherwise. I was looking at one model at this site, a lovely teenager (I'm not a member, I was looking at the preview area), I looked the model up on the internet, and it turns out the model is now in her early thirties. Japanese girls can look much younger than their real age, but this photo was taken many years ago, when the girl was still a teenager.
She's not the only model who has pictures taken 5-10+ years ago that are posted at this site.
As long as you have a good understanding of what the site contents will be before you join this site, you might be satisfied with your membership.
But someone who expects a lot of nudity will probably be disappointed.
Also, the number of photos for each model is pretty small. You see a model you like, you will only get a tiny taste of her.

"Sprawling." Now there's a good term to describe a site. I'd use it, for instance, to describe sites that have multiple updates from one shoot "sprawled" over time. Or that have "feature" pics that come from shoots they also publish; think VivThomas and the "Bums" or "Legs" features. You have to work extra hard to get the stuff together! Or a site that's hard to navigate, perhaps.
You might say that they put the user through "content sprawl."

Nicely put Capn. You're right and i'm wrong. In all my porn travels i have yet to meet another biller that has implemented regional pricing -an euphemism for looting-.

from lk2fireone:
Skokoff (also spelled Skokov) is a major erotic/nude photographer. He is one of the contributing photographers to Met-art.
I would say he is a glamor-style photographer.
But there is very little or nothing as far as strip-tease, if that is what you are looking for.
His models are nude. They usually start nude, are nude in the middle, and nude at the end, of their photosets.
I think of his style as plain vanilla: not a lot of artsy focus, just nice clear photos of attractive young teens.
Update rate:
Only 1 update in August.
There were 10 or more updates in July.
(That is for photosets).
Webmaster recently stated that updates should resume soon.

What TBP says is this.
"Some included sites are not stand-alone sites. Users outside of the US may be charged in Euros, which would be much more expensive."
They also sometimes advertise membership for $7.99, but that is only if you join for a whole year.
They charge VAT of 20% on UK memberships. I found that out by giving a phony email address so I could get to the next join up page and see what it looked like. I didn't want the usual spam, so I gave the phony email address, as I had no intention of joining. It's the "may be charged in Euros" phrase on TBP that caught my eye.
I will not join a site that has regional discrimination.

I didn't say it but I also thought that the score was a little high for a site that you more or less say scammed you. I'm still waiting to see if what night owl says about the crecit card processor.

Thank you!
As for the regional pricing idea - it may be good in theory for the businessman, when you may set different prices for different regions, based on the mean buying ability of the customers of this region. This price may be higher or lower, you get more members, who are satisfied with what they're paying for their membership.
In practice, we got totally different thing - the prices are higher (most plain example is charging 35 Euros for 35 USD site), there're no regions with the lower prices (from what I know). But will the paysite owner get more money and happy customers? I'm not sure about that.
It's more straight just to move the prices up/down for all of the customers or use more wise regional billing and charge the people based on their ability to pay.
We have never wanted to use the regional billing options in their current state, as we don't believe it will work for us.
WBR, Andy

Capn, yes we plan to install the normal navigation script which will solve many inconveniences, like lack of search, photo zips etc.
Custom zips will be useful (more convenient than full set zip), as for the choice of various resolution - I'm not sure yet, we need to check the technical side when we'll get on this.
If you'll check the reviews on TBP for our sites, the two main points for negative rating were download speeds and members area navigation issues (search,zips,etc).
I believe we have solved the downloading speed issue (there may be minor issues, but it's much better than before). Now we're changing focus to the navigational part. Not sure how fast we may do this, as we have many sites to upgrade, but we will do our best.
WBR, Andy

Some are screenshots, but most are better quality. Most are about 1000x760, some are as good as 3200x2100. The sets are like the videos in that there is not always stripping. Some sets start clothed, some start nude. There is not always a logical, easy to folow progression to more and more explicit. The models do various exercises and whatever happens, happens. You may get explicit right away or may not get to it until the last few photos. The screenshot photo sets are terrible picture quality.

from dracken:
Yeah, some sites make it really hard to be liked. I really enjoy several networks out there, but the constant issues they've had for years now simply don't allow me to give them a higher score.
However, this review was excellent, thanks for keeping an even head about the whole "issue."

Solid review of a disappointing site. I doubt many PU members are willing to pay for a year's membership before they can access the entire site.

I've never joined because the price puts me off when i can always find similar sites to join for less money. If they lowered the price to $25 monthly i would join straight away without question

I've been a member at this site a couple of times and have enjoyed it very much. They have great models and somewhat racier content than MET, but it is a bit on the expensive side.
Even with fewer updates, I would consider an annual membership if the price was more in line with MET's, especially now that they have added public cam shows. That would be $100-120 a year they'd be getting out of me instead of $35 a year.

Totally agree! 6 months of MPL Studios would get you a year of MetArt, but as I'm sure you're aware, MPL only does one thing per day while MetArt does 4, usually, and even more at the start of each month.
And MPL sometimes does a non-nude "postcard." I like them, but I think they should be posted with a nude set the same day.
My most recent 6-month MPL membership ran out and I've been lurking around about there but waiting until I can get the effective monthly price down before diving back in. But I probably won't wait long enough for it to be at the MetArt level.
Would be nice to get a discount offer from them. I've been a returning member since 2003!

Totally agree. I mentioned in a comment over a year ago that the site was very expensive, and wondered if there was a discount available. But there is no easy way to get a discount to this site.

Remind me to stay on good terms with you, even with an ocean separating us. I don't want any of your hitman buddies coming after me. :whaa
It makes perfect sense to me that the victim should blame the guy paying for the job. The hitman is a professional man getting paid for his work. Why should the victim blame the hitman? The guy that's paying for the job is the one with the grudge against the guy that's getting hit.
Actually, in many movies, the target of the hitmen is rather foolish. Instead of trying to defend against the hitmen, the target should be trying to kill the evil boss or the one who is paying for the contract. That might stop the hitmen from trying to complete the job, because the reason for the target to be killed would be gone. You kill a bunch of hitmen, the evil boss just hires new hitmen. You kill the evil boss, there's no one to pay the hitmen, so there's no reason for them to keep trying to kill the target.

I agree, Capn. I have downgraded the site, because of this horrible way of treating the customers. I really hope more people will see this review and stay away from this site, because right now I feel cheated and frustrated.

ah. i should've covered that a bit better. i'd say 80% of the sets contain nudity, of which about 33% topless only.

Yeah, they sure are slow. The Jana Cova BTS was like, July 24th. And that was a BTS. It's a shame, 'cause it's a really good site except for the snail's pace of it.

The characterization of toys and finger play as "midcore" is associated with the pornography standards of magazines over the latter part of the 20th Century.
Playboy was the first mainstream porn mag to show muff back in the late 1960's, creating a mild firestorm. Penthouse grabbed the momentum by showing modest amounts of genitalia, usually somewhat hidden by bush and, by today's standards, very mild.
Content in mainstream porn mags with any form of insertion arrived in the late 1990's in Hustler who toyed with the process earlier with solo labia lip activity.
We old farts look at insertions as going more hardcore than the PG (pretty girl) genre we grew up with where all there was was babes showing their bodies with no overt sexuality.
That's a long way of saying I understand where Capn is coming from and agree completely.

I just think it was good Customer Service. I don't know what they would have pangs of conscience about. The original deal was one that I agreed to, have never had reasons to regret. The fact that they changed their pricing model is not anything unique to this site - lots of others have done similarly.
The new deal makes me happy, so there we go.
