I'm sure most of you guys have heard of (or at least seen) Aria Giovanni. She's an absolutely smoking hot babe who does all kinds of internet and magazine photo shoots. You can find her in magazines like Hustler and Penthouse and she's also done a handful of videos as well. Besides here knockout body, Aria is great because she's got such exotic eyes that are pretty amazing. It's great to see such a hot chick in the adult world who hasn't felt it necessary to become a bleached blonde. More chicks should follow Aria's lead because her dark hair really helps her stand out.
Even though Aria is a professional model, her site feels much more like an amateur site than a pornstar site. This is a big plus because it means there's more behind-the-scenes type content for fans to enjoy. For the most part the content revolves around picture galleries. The over 18,000 pictures are categorized into the following sections: Amateur, Aria & Friends, Artistic Nudes, Candid, Fetish, Glamour, and Appearances. The Aria & Friends, Artistic Nudes, Fetish, and Glamour galleries are full of professional magazine like pics. It's Aria looking made-up and sexy both with other models and solo. The fetish stuff is softcore including latex, ropes, nylons etc. Unfortunately for you bdsm fans, you won't see Aria getting tortured with wax or whips. To me, the Amateur, Candid, and Appearance categories have the most interesting content. That's where she looks much more natural and can be seen in day-to-day activities. Without the frills and studios, it's still easy to see just how much of a babe she is. The picture quality varies somewhat between the sections, but overall it's very high, with the only real exception being the very old galleries.
It's a bit of a different story with the videos. Of the 125+, really only the more recent ones are decent quality. Most of the others are very rough and grainy and there are probably around 60 that are only available in QuickTime format. The new ones are QT and Windows Media with large and small file choices. The handful of new additions are good quality and it is fun to see Aria in video format. Hopefully she continues to build up this section in the future with more of the high quality movies.
The other two content areas are the Bio and Diary. The bio is thorough and gives you all the personal and professional tidbits fans are looking for. Considering she's a busy model, I must say the diary is maintained pretty well. It looks like one entry per week is the regular pace. The entries seem to revolve around what's new with her career and schedule. A separate "Appearance" section highlights where she'll be over the next few months. Membership is $24.95 for the first month which recurs at $19.95/mo. As far as pictures goes, she's got as much as anybody would want. In order to make the site a "must-see for Aria fans", there will need to be some more additions of high-quality videos and perhaps something like a message-board or chat room to provide more of an interactive feel.

For an official site of a well known star, Aria's site is still a good one. No matter how many times I see this chick, I'm still amazed at how hot she is. I don't think I'll ever get tired of her. The site has continued with updates to the photo sets, videos, diary, and the appearance schedule. The truth is since Aria is a glamour photography star this official site can give guys what they want with mostly photo sets. Even though there are 135 video clips, pics of Aria are much more fun than say looking at pics of Jenna Jameson or some other starlet you've already seen in hardcore scenes. FYI, Aria's fans should check out her message board site at AriasMessageBoard.com. I've changed this score: Editor's Curve -1.
Score decreased from 81.4 to 80.4.

The videos section doesn't seem to have grown much but I am seeing consistent updates to the photo galleries. She even does some fun holiday shoots like ones for Valentines and St. Patrick's Day. Also, Aria continues with once weekly entries in her diary. Her appearance calendar is pretty much up to date although not as much as the diary. There aren't any significant changes to the sites to report on, just the content updates. The most important thing about this site remains Aria's dynamite looks; I'm always open to re-reviewing her site. These scores have changed: Entertain +1, Exclusive +1, Updates -2, and Value +0.5.
Score remains at 80.4.
