| Bottom Line: |
This is a small site in a rare niche so I thought it would be worth joining at least once. The niche is public nudity in an American setting and those sites are getting harder to find, likely because the material is getting harder to make. Nude in LA doesn’t even exist any longer, and the best American public nudity site – Teasers VOD – was ordered to stop producing scenes by the LA city government a while back so there will be no more updates from them.
This site is definitely small. There are only 33 models here with the look being more to the amateur side of the business. That’s neither a pro or a con, but merely a fact. You won’t find porn stars here like you used to be able to at some other public sites. The models appear to be all in their 20s with varying body types and few with tattoos. Overall, the models are pretty attractive.
There is truth in some advertising, and the name of the site follows that rule: there is only one theme here: models in San Francisco shed their clothes and walk around in public areas being photographed.
For a video collector, this site doesn’t have a lot to offer. Actually, that’s being far too generous. Of all the photo shoots it seems odd that there are only a dozen videos available. That’s bad enough, but it actually gets worse. Of the video links less than half actually work. But that may be the best news because the resolutions are so poor that even what is here is almost unwatchable. The resolution is only 640x360 at 1200kb/s and 15fps. Subjectively they look terrible. They look so bad on a 23” monitor that the watermark is almost unreadable. The technical aspect of the videos is so bad that I haven’t watched them so I can’t comment on their artistic merit. I should also add that the videos are also short – most are about 3mins long.
Things are better with the photos. The number of photos for models varies from less than 50 to just over 1000. The average is about 300 photos per model. The resolutions aren’t too bad with the majority at 1752x2628. Newer photos are higher at 3744x5616, but there aren’t many of those.
The site allows download managers but they aren’t really effective or necessary since the zip files are so small, with most being approximately 6MB. The problem is that for each photo set there may be 10 or more zips. If a model has a lot of shoots then you’ll be downloading a lot of zips – one model has over 60 zip files for her photos. Some of the zips have only two photos in them.
There appears to be a relatively new feature called a “Nude Map” where the model’s route through public areas is mapped on Google Maps. This would be an innovative idea for a public nudity site but I can’t figure out how to get it to work. There is some evidence that this feature isn’t live yet even though it is being heavily promoted.
The big question I have about the site that I can’t give a definitive answer to is whether the site is still updating. I think it is, but it appears that it is updating with mostly older material and whether that was shot a while ago and only made available now or whether it is recycled material I can’t say. The latest update was today (April 29) and the copyright on those photos is 2013, but most of the more recent updates have copyrights in 2010 and older. The latest video was uploaded in February and it looks as bad as the rest, which may indicate that it was actually recorded a long time ago. But in fairness to the site, they do have a list of updates and there are updates added at least twice a month. Whether those are really ‘new’ photos though could be open to debate.
The site does actually offer a fairly good value, but only because it is cheap and not because it offers a lot of good material. They offer a $4.95 fee for a week of access that will rebill higher. The good news is that unless you still live with dial-up from the 1990s you can download everything they have in that time. With a decent internet connection you can have everything you want in under an hour. It also bills through CCBill so you can have some confidence that cancelling will be easy. (The page at TBP says that the membership is $4.95 for two weeks, but that isn’t what the site is offering now.)
So can I recommend this site? Yes, but only to someone with a narrow interest in this niche who prefers photos. As a video collector I was badly disappointed, but the photos are decent. (Actually, they’re not ‘decent’ since they feature young ladies naked in public, but you get what I mean.) The small site size and limited offerings are offset by the low price, so if you need a fix of photos of nude models in the streets, this might scratch an itch for you. |
