You are making many good points, toadsith and I agree with most of what you say. When it comes to GOW I'm convinced that it's no accident that a video will show the videographer hand the model a bottle of body lotion while she's doing a slow strip, or to see her knees and feet as she is laying down for a shot from a floor angle. Is it laziness, I just can't be bothered to edit out these scenes or is it by design? As I said, I think it's by design (a continuing theme) that's why I keep referring to the site as "raw" for lack of a better word. A studied casualness?

I believe that the technical skill is there and is being used, toadsith. The difference is that they make no attempt to create art. It's a "raw" site and to someone like me who is tired of very beautiful models shot in very tasteful poses it is a breath of fresh air. The photography is crisp and clear, so technically there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Esthetically maybe (feet of photographer showing etc.) but I'm tired of aesthetics. That's exactly why I wrote what I wrote. Perfection turns me off these days, I see too much of it in another very highly rated site that I subscribe to and which I have visited about three times since the beginning of last week in order to check their updates ... without finding anything to download. All those gorgeous teenies in all their blandness. I wish that, in their case, I had stuck to my usual "subscribe for a month routine" because I have two more months of Barbies left. But, to use the old cliche: chacun a son gout! That's why I hope I made it crystal clear in my review what the site is all about. I wouldn't want to mislead anyone into subscribing to a site that goes totally against their taste. Just to stress it again: the models are mostly ordinary next door type girls/women (I hope I won't insult them with that remark) but that is exactly their attraction for me. Keep in mind that this review is coming from the pen of a guy who wouldn't know a Jenna Jamieson if he tripped over her and judge accordingly. :-)

I see, thanks. Things are much worse than, with CCBill probably being the only trustworthy processor to date (at least it wasn't caught doing it - I think they're doing almost the same thing but with checkbox unchecked, and it IMHO changes things dramatically from swindling to not so annoying upsell) :-(.
> generally the trial sites seem to be owned by the same owner of the sites that I'm subscribing too
I used to think so too until I've run into Epoch using the same technique on purchase of Diabolic site selling PornStarsTop, and these 2 sites don't seem to be related (I'd even say they're from very different leagues).

Thanks for warning.
Do you remember what was their credit card processor? Wasn't it Epoch by any chance? I've seen such thing (which I think is nothing short of swindling) a few times recently, and I think it was Epoch all (or at least most of) the time.
Moreover, I'm not even sure if webmasters of original sites get anything from such "trials"; it would be very interesting to see a comment from one of them here (and if Epoch is doing it without consent of webmasters, it can easily find themselves in a DEEP TROUBLE; such company as Diabolic won't hesitate to sue Epoch in such case).

You can always pay $50 and work the rest of the 6 Grand off in our studios ;)
As Raven rightly said, if Denys had the time I'm sure he'd enjoy doing courses on photography - I'm sure there's pretty much to be learned from just looking at the sets on our sites, but maybe it's a thought for when Denys retires - The Denys Defrancesco School of Erotic Photography.
The technical side is pretty complicated - Denys has heaps of experience and knows more that anyone I know about the "arty", composition and lighting side of things, about the photography itself - he also works the most of anyone I know, I'd keel over within a week if I tried keeping up with him. He really loves his work. As for the technical, post-shoot side, you can always get someone to help with that and we have a little team here in Budapest of about 15 people working in the background just on the design, retouching editing and technical side of things.
I might talk to Denys about things, he might start work on an erotic photography book, it wouldn't be a bad idea - full of nice pictures of course, but also with useful tips and advice for amateur and professional photographers alike - hmm...you have me going on this one, it might actually happen... :)
Anyway...getting late - have member mails to answer :)

Hi Toadsith,
Glad you like the camera info tags. We're always using the newest gear as technology evolves. Denys has always been passionate about camera gear and it reflects in his amazing pictorials.
Happy Holidays

Hi Toadsmith,
Interesting info on the pictures, I hadn't noticed that myself.
Perhaps all those porn scenes featuring brides and bridesmaids are no coincidence but the result of some hard ground work on the part of Canon? ;)
Thanks for the flattering words about DDF customer support - that would be me, so I'll take that personally :)
I'm glad you love the site!
Merry Christmas!
p.s. I hate to plug our Christmas offer again (been doing it in recent posts, so sorry if it's coming out of your ears already) , but since you're thinking of rejoining the site I'd better tell you that we're giving away 30-day memberships with all sign-ups (to our major sites only) through December - that's enough here, you'll find more info on our join pages.

Thanks, Toadsith. If that's indeed the popular trend right now then I think I'd best get used to videos ... or start looking all over again at all the series I've saved in "landscape" over the months. :-)

Thanks for pointing this site out - a new one to me so although no longer updating, I'll definitely add it to my list - pinup girls, and other retro-themed smut is very much my thing!

I took another look, prompted by your comment, TS.
A few years back I visited & was generally impressed by the tour presentation, but did not join, so I don't really know what the composition of the member area was. Interesting as it was, it really failed to tell you much about the actual content supplied.
If you like the idea of this site, which I do too, you may find pinupwow floats your boat.

As far as I've heard, usually in such cases courts are VERY reluctant to upheld these conditions :-), so it's mostly a weapon of frightening customers who're going to complain. Still, whenever I notice such conditions, I feel that such guys are trying to cheat me, so why I should do business with them, especially if there is a choice?

You're right, but on the other hand everything has it's limits. I'm reading documents I'm signing VERY carefully, and I'm sure that if my bank would write "we reserve the right to charge you for excessive inquiries at our sole discretion", I wouldn't be a client of that bank :-).

They've had so many different schemes to keep their subscribers that I've lost count, Toadsith. I don't stream except for a few seconds to see what the video looks like. I have been a member of 21Sextury and 21Sextreme over and over but lost interest last time because their updates really dwindled noticeably. However, I figured if I waited long enough there might be enough updates by then to keep me there long enough to get to the ten dollar level! :-) TBP's review set off this comment because until yesterday they listed our regular price with the bonus ($9.95) scratched out, yet Maggie mentioned is as a pro! Thanks for your reply.

Hi Toadsith, I agree that if you don't have access to normal TV News, Naked News might be a very appealing alternative even though you don't really get enough of it. However the price is certainly right. :-) Another thing I appreciated was that, for obvious reasons, they reserved the serious stories for the beginning of the show and had the tact to wait with undressing until they moved on to a lighter subject. At first it bothered me to see emotionally charged news stories on this site at all, but if the ladies on CNN can grin and smile and banter just before and after they report on earthquakes and famine and genocides, then Naked News' offense is small by comparison.
But to return to my remarks, I have more than ten news channels I can watch, some like the CBC in Canada are even quite good and balanced, I also get massive doses of news on the Internet so, for me it was the stripping ladies and nothing but the stripping ladies that attracted me to NN. :-) And there I felt let down because they didn't strip the way they used to but became quite efficient at getting naked in a hurry!
BTW, I agree with someone's (might have been yours) remarks that the site should not even be listed here because it does not contain porn. Even to list it under "soft porn" would be an exaggeration, in my opinion.

Hi Toadsith
I'm not disappointed, there is only a limited amount there but like you sy the quality is good...and hopefully their network will grow if they keep this standard...
Yes, I lost myself in Sofia's doe eyes, reading your review I bit and clicked the link to have a look. If I read the remainder of your review at that stage it didn't register...
so no regrets, expensive impulse buy but I'm not complaining...it's exclusive and after hunting as long as I have, to find fresh stuff that has not saturated the market like the european stuff like assholefever, allinternal, clubsandy, givemepink and inthecrack, this was a refreshing change...
Good review and it worked for me.

Toadsith's Review
from JBDICK:
Toadsith
Good review. thanks. This is one of those sites you don't join until you hear someone else has. That's a high score, but I think I understand why you've given them this even though the depth of their catalogue is limited. I'm guessing you like the fact that this is something new. It's very raw but at the same time, has a glossy feel to it.
Gotta say, after reading your Review, I visited the site. Love Sofia. She reminded me of Dasha on Booyathong. They are both GEMS and me being a professional Porn Hunter know that one day I'll sign up for nastymakeup.com even if its only for her set. Ding Dong.
I was amused when I saw model: Angeles 'After Photo' on the promo pages. It made me think, hey that's what Teri Hatcher must look like after negotiating her next salary review on Desperate Housewives. Spitting image of her. Well tickled by that.
Got to the end of the promo pages, stickler for detail, there's another model call Sofi. Is that a typo or are there two girls that are Ding Dong. Marianna, Lupe, Martina looks quite nice and Tatiana caught my eye. but then I noticed, there's another entry for Tatiana quoting
The tanned blonde beauty named Tatiana is back. Kinda contradicts.
Having looked at the promo pages and reading your review. I'll put this on my list.
Moisto Gratis, oops I meant Mucho Gratis...
Toadsith, THANKS, Good recommendation. I Like it. Will definitely be a member at some stage.
