And a great update for former members. Been a fan for years of this cute and sexy model/girl next door even if the content/quality of her site/sites has varied quite a lot.
First she got into full nudity - that was great - and then the bj - great too (some) - and (have not been a member for some time) - has she started doing fuck-scenes - guess not?
Not crazy about her new brunette hairstyle, though....
My reply to a comment made by mr smut on 11-27-08 on the Purrfect Girls site: (quote): "One model, Eva, is absolutely yummy."
So I guess we like at least some of the same models. :)
My impression from the preview pages is that this is part of a small network, but each site is joined by itself. Which makes it expensive.
Most of the sites I looked at appear to have stopped updating in 2009. And the updates look to have been slowing before then.
The reannamae site appears to still be updating. But she is, to me, less attractive than Eva or Princess Alla (Princess Alla is named Christina at Purrfect Girls).
tangub's answer is very close to mine. I mainly prefer softcore sites. And since the videos at softcore sites are usually boring, no matter how attractive the models are, you are left with the pictures to enjoy. I am also looking at hardcore sites, where the photos are usually boring, and the good videos that appeal to my tastes are hard to find.
Good softcore pictures are found at many sites. Good hardcore pictures are difficult to find. Good softcore videos are almost impossible to find. Good hardcore videos are difficult to find.
So I focus on softcore pictures, because it's easy to find high quality, erotic photos.
I'm located in the US, so I've never had to deal with regional pricing for pay sites. But I do know that people in Europe often get hit with unfair prices.
Khan (a PU staff member) says the regional pricing policy is set by the paysite, and not the payment processing company (which might be CCBill or Epoch), though the payment processing companies do get a lot of angry comments because potential subscribers blame them for the higher prices.
I went on vacation to Europe years ago. And at different places, our tour group was charged higher prices for items we bought, than the natives of the region. I'm talking about buying a can of coke or whatever at a refreshment stand or whatever. I felt I was being ripped off, seeing other people paying less for the same items we were buying. That was the first time I encountered what was basically regional pricing.
Except that in an extended form of regional pricing, maybe, when I went to college in the US, people from out of state had to pay a higher price to attend a state college than an in-state resident. So that might be considered a form of regional pricing. That is still true today, that out of state residents pay a higher price to attend a local state college, I assume. The theory is that the state colleges are supported in part by the income/property tax that residents pay to the state. Even though state sales tax is paid by anyone who purchases any item within the state.
What the theory behind regional pricing for porn paysites is, I don't know, other than businesses usually try to grab as much money as they can from whoever they can. :)
Thanks, tangub. Yes, not having zip files is a big mistake from their part.
Also, their customer support system could be much, much improved: I tried to cancel my membership three times, emailed them asking for help, never got an answer, my membership got effectively cancelled, yet apparently they charged my credit card for next month's fee!!! I am really pissed off about this right now...
I really wanted to like this site, since there are a number of cute Latina models and I like softcore, but I found a lot of the preview content to be pretty uninspiring. It wasn't too softcore for me, so I guess it was just too amateur.
I'm glad, tangub, you bought up your experiences in the Philippines.
It was a Manila visit I made there in the early '90s that inspired this poll.
I went there to meet a pen-pal to whom I'd been correspondering. She and her friends and family were wondiful to me, providing me with the same kind of reception you were getting. However, a savvy street guy I met near my downtown hotel changed things. After chatting and bouncing around some Peso numbers (a pittance in US dollars) he sent to my room -- one after the other -- a parade of young and most beautiful women I'd ever seen.
Never before, never after, have I come into such a blissful windfall. The event is etched into my memory to this day.
These solo sites have zips: Cierra Spice and Pamela Spice
These don't: Selena Spice, Spice Twins, Bella Spice and Mariah Spice
On La Zona, some of the older sets don't have zips. They don't have a dated list of updates so it is hard to say exactly when they started using zips, but from the best I can tell, it looks like the last 2-3 years of photo updates on La Zona have zips. I would say it's roughly 40% no, 60% yes.
I can't tell you how often the site is currently updating.
My membership ended last week. I had problems trying to enter the site. I kept getting the error message that I was not authorized, even though my membership was still current.
I sent emails, asking for help.
No replies.
I also sent emails asking for my membership to be extended, because the site advertised, for a while, that 1-year memberships (and I paid for a 1-year membership) would be extended due to the site not updating in 2008 and most of 2009.
No replies to my emails.
So I just gave up in frustration.
The site has a number of very attractive models.
But the photosets are very small: about 15-20 photos per set. So even though the model might be attractive, the small number of photos per set is just enough to make you hungry for more. Or frustrated. I want a larger number of photos in a set, where I can look at the photos, and focus on the ones I like best. I can get large photosets at most mega-sites, where you get 50-100+ pictures in a set.
The site says they are emphasizing quality over quantity, but the quality is not any better than at the mega-sites like met-art (where Richard Murrian, the site photographer for m-u-s-e.org, has some photosets), or mplstudios, or a bunch of other mega-sites. Actually, the quality at the other sites is better, in my opinion, because the photographer tends to put a lot of shadows and "artsy" focus in his small photosets, making the number of photos that I really like even smaller.
You are not substituting quantity for quality if you join one of the quality mega-sites. You get both quality and quantity.
This site has a much smaller content. The archives go back several years, but I just don't like the idea and practice of a small number of photos in a photoset.
I believe you will be better satisfied, spending your money on a softcore mega-site, than at this site.
But if you are a Richard Murrian connoisseur, then the site might be worthwhile. I thought one Murrian photoset at met-art was really striking. But when I looked at the same set at m-u-s-e, I found a small set, with a smaller number of photos. Grrrr.
Have not been at this site for over a year - at least. (used to love the content at Pier 999 - and have not seen any newer inputs for some time).
But this review by tangub is very helpful - and in spite of the lack of updates in 2010 - I still hope the site will be back (great videos)..
BTW: Welcome to a new user here - keep up those fine reviews...
