| Cons: |
Nothing major to list here.
Perhaps a few of the newer solo sets are a little soft in comparison. (Mostly new models) |
| Bottom Line: |
Viv Thomas is primarily a lesbian site with a mix of about 80% lesbian sets and 20% solo sets within the more recent sets. Older sites include solo, boy/girl, some insertion, and lesbian. It became part of the Met Art network several years ago and Met Art has done a really good job of keeping it up.
For perspective, ALS scan is the other lesbian site in the MA network. The girls there are very young, very petite, carefree, happy to experiment and generally give off an almost childish vibe. Viv Thomas, on the other hand, is pretty much exactly what you expect from Met Art in a lesbian site. The women are much more refined, truly beautiful most of the time, and most of the videos and image sets are damn near perfect.
Stats (as of 1/20/2019. These are published on the site):
About 3125 photo sets
About 1881 videos
About 1142 models
4-5 updates a week
Sets are avalable all the way back to 2002!
All sets are dated.
All sets are scored.
Newer images and zips come in 3 sizes up to 3000x4500.
Videos come in multiple sizes and formats.
I haven't been a member of this site since Met Art took it over and I'm happy to say that although the overall feel has changed a little, the material puts this site up there toward the top of the Met Art stable.
Viv Thomas, now semi-retired, is an outstanding photographer and videographer who has produced a lot of award winning material for magazines, video production companies and on-line. His older stuff on this site is top quality for the time-frame and the models, damn near all of them, all the way back to 2002, are stunning and not at all shy. I'd say the older stuff parallels Twisty's or Danni's best from the period and the newer stuff is similar to MetArt-X in terms of showy photography. Nearly every solo set has spreading at least and every lesbian set portrays what I imagine is pretty genuine lesbian sex (i.e. these girls are not just standing together in the set, their fingers and tongues are inside each other.) The older sets include some world-class famous models like Sophie Moon, Veronica Zemanova and my all time favorite Marketa Belonoha. Newer sets include a lot of really popular MA models like Niemira and many beautiful models I don't see elsewhere on the MA network. What puts these sets apart from many others is that the early models like Veronica and Marketa are doing things like spreading that they never did in later shoots. And the later shoots are slightly different than what you would find on other MA sites. Make-up for example, makes some of the models like Niemira a little more alluring. Reall ynice job on all of this.
All of the videos on this site since about 2010 are at least 720P. Prior to that, they are 420p. Newer videos go up to 4k.
Navigation on the site is an exact copy of the main Met Art site with many user-adjustable options. Default image sizes, images opening in the same or a different tab, etc. I am very used to the MA navigation and may be a little biased, but I truly believe it is the best navigation system on the internet.
Met Art uses a single-sign on to their sites. Once you sign into a new site under it, you no longer have to log into that site individually. To facilitate this, there is a navigation pull-down that can get you to any of the sites in the network. There is also a "status" page that allows you to see all of your subscription details and you can even sign up for or cancel subscriptions right from this pull-down. This is a very nice solution to an often vexing problem.
OK, bottom line. Even if you are not a fan of lesbian porn, there is a LOT of excellent solo image material here dating back nearly TWO DECADES that you might like a lot. That includes nearly every big model name in porn photography over the last 18 years. The videos since about 2010 are also very diverse and mostly excellent. The only reason I won't give this a 90 or better is because they don't do daily updates, but given the inredible amount of material here, you could spend many, many hours looking through the old stuff on the days there are no new updates.
Look around for discount offers, but be aware that there are sometimes issues with the Met Art single sign-on when you try to sign up for offers made outside the network. If you find a low-price offer but the site doesn't list it because you already have an account within the Met Art network, contact support and they will work it out for you.
I highly recommend this site. |
