Interesting news indeed! I've been a member of her site before, and whereas it's more glam-porn-y than my usual taste, I do have a fondness for it. Seems Met Art are definitely branching out into more racy material... which can only be a good thing IMHO, given the banality (purely subjective!) of the main site.

I'm currently a member of Metart. Years ago it was just Metart and Metmodels. I knew they had added a few other sites recently, but didn't realize how many they have added. I hope it increases the financial stability of the Metart site itself, which is my favorite site for softcore photography. A lot of sites fall on hard times, and either go out of business or become archive sites that no longer update.
And now, Metart is not just a mega-site by itself, but is becoming a mega-network.

Thanks for the link cjd. Holly Randall is definitely something different for Met-Art. It will be interesting to see how they redesign the site. Did you also see they are now managing ALS Scan and Viv Thomas? I had never heard of xbiz.com--very cool site.

Holly Randall has good content, but for me it hasn't had the same draw as MetArt. Hopefully, this affiliation will give the Holly Randall content a boost. Two things would help in the process. One is to make sure that the HR site (or sites) are as web-friendly as the MetArt sites are. Just look at the difference between them. MetArt has a nice, subdued visual approach, whereas the Holly Randall site is garish and cluttered. They clearly speak in two very different visual languages.
The second is to make the approach to the photography, especially the types of poses, more consistently like MetArt's as well.

REPLY TO #4 - Drooler :
They seem to be taking their re-design of sites slowly. It's been several months since ALS Scan announced their partnership with MetArt, which was to include a complete re-design. There has been very little change in ALS Scan's site since then.
I'd be very surprised - and disappointed - if MetArt got involved enough in Holly's site to start dictating the posing of the models.
Holly's a pro, she certainly knows what she wants to do with her models. Teaming with MetArt will give Holly the greater financial resources that they can contribute.
The main reason I like it is the nice-sized non-Manwin firewall being built around a group of high-quality sites.
