| Bottom Line: |
Showy Beauty is a non-Met-Art sister site to Amour Angels. (Some of the sets even have props that say Amour Angels.) This site has pretty much EVERY met-art model, mostly in sets shot before they became uber-popular, plus a bunch of sets of models that only shot one or two sets and maybe a handful that didn't make the cut to be on Met Art for one reason or another. The site is not part of the Met Art network but, as I said, has many models that appear on MA and probably shares several photographers. There is a very broad variety of model here. In addition to several hundred european models, there are a handful of asian models, some south american models and a few (I think) pacific island models. A LOT of models I've never seen elsewhere and I have been around a bit. Most models are young looking and petite, although several are more significant and quite chesty. A veritable smorgasboard of shapes and sizes. There are a lot of popular models here, mostly from early shoots. The majority of the models are shaved but some have very mild or trimmed pubic hair. Models like Emily Bloom and Sarena Woods are on Showy Beauty and there are a few others that you honestly would not recognize at first because they look so different. A few popular Met Art models only have videos here and I suspect that is because the matching photo sets made it to a Met Art site. This is not a B-roll site, exactly, but much of the material is similar to the stuff you would find on the met-art secondary sites. The difference is there is more variety here.
Showy Beauty is fairly true to the name, but don't expect anything too extreme. Each model is different. Some models are modest, some open their legs and a very very few have open labia.
This is JUST a solo girl model site with an occasional two or three girl "friends" set. There is no sex, no masturbation, no insertion. Even eye contact varies quite a bit between sets and models. The emphasis, for the most part, is simply admiration of the beautiful nude female form.
The site is posting images and videos as far back as 2011. They have been posting a photo or video set every other day since then, so that means there are, what, roughly 1200+ sets. There are over 750 models. It is a LOT of material. You can sort by top models, top sets or update date and you can go directly to a specific year and month. Sets are dated and model and photographer names are listed. (About 90 photographers, some of whom I am sure shoot for other major sites.) Models are ranked on a user-generated 10 point scale, but the scale seems pretty whacky to me. Most models are in the 5 to 7 range and many top Met Art models are toward the bottom of the rankings. This may be because the sets of the top models are not as high quality or revealing or just because not very many people vote. There are a LOT of pretty teen models here. Like Met Art and some similar sites, Showy Beauty gets content from many photogaphers so there is a great deal of variety in sets, lighting etc., but image quality is typically very good.
Navigation is generally good and download speeds are good but the site is a little clunky at times. Photo sets are presented in multiple pages and there is no way to change it. Navigation "Buttons" throughout the site change color when you hover over them, but they do nothing unless you click on the actual text within the button you want. Super annoying. Zip files have unique names but individual images, either downloaded or in the zip files, don't. File names are "Showy Beauty-001.jpg" to Showy Beauty-xxx.jpg, telling you nothing about the set, model, date, etc. Very frustrating if you keep a "best of" folder. ALL items...sets, models, images, etc., open in the same page so you are single threaded and have to ckick "back" a lot unless you remember to open in a new tab.
Because these models are not very experienced, many sets have little or rather tentative eye contact. There is a fair amount of outdoor "girl in the woods" type shooting. Most more recents sets are very well done with plenty of eye contact and, sometimes, fairly revealing poses. Images come in three sizes and videos come in 4 formats (2 mp4 sizes, a WMV and a DIVX format) plus streaming. The resolution of the videos is not listed,although the few files I pulled down were 720 or better. Ther is no 4K. Image sets have from about 70 to about 180 images. Videos are 10-20 minutes with the model undressing and frolicking around. Honestly, the videos are not terribly exciting but the view is usually pretty good.
Bottom Line: If your tastes run toward young, psuedo-amatuer or early-career pro models of all shapes and sizes, then this is a site you should visit. There is a TON of material and some of it is quite good. I searched for discounts and found one for $19.95. At that price, there is a lot to like here. |
