Celeste is an amateur from way out in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Her site's been around forever it seems, it was certainly one of the first amateur sites I saw years back. According to her site, she started out in the swinging scene way before her website was around. In fact, it was her swinging experiences that brought her to start the website in the first place!
Her site is very straight-forward. The only real extras you're gonna find here are basically the AmateurCamz and SexCamCentral webcam networks she's on, as well as her journal. Unfortuntely it looks like she doesn't update her lonely journal too often, about 3-5 times a month with a paragraph or so for the last three months at least. There's also a few extra member's areas you can get into that look to be run by Celeste for a few friends she's met in the swinger community. However, two of the five weren't working for me at the time of review.
The meat of the site is found in her photo galleries section, which is divided up into a few categories such as solo, men, women, three+, etc. She has quite a few galleries up for your viewing pleasure. Getting a chance to take a look at the pictures themselves, they are pretty amateur-looking. Size was really an issue for me, as a lot of the photos were in the 500x300 - 600x400 range which was just really small. A lot of the newer ones (judging from their news page) are more in the 1000x700 range, but it seemed most of the ones I checked out browsing through her galleries were a bit smaller. Also, as expected, most of the older photos look pretty amateur in photo quality as well. A lot of her shoots are down in hotel rooms, and swinger clubs, so the lighting is less than ideal obviously for what they do. But overall, the picture quality just didn't work for me. The navigation in her galleries was a little frustrating at first too, since each pic opens in a new window. But once I found out you could click the picture and it would close, I was much better!
The videos section is pretty haphazard looking through it. They have them divided up by which software is streaming them. The majority are in Quicktime format, then Real Video, then Windows Media. I had some major problems with the Real Videos as a lot of them came up with an error of not being able to play text/html files or something weird. The few that I got to work were rather small (somewhere around the 190x160 range), and the sound wasn't great. The QT videos were a little better, but the big breakthrough was the Windows Media videos. Unfortunately there's the least number of those compared to the rest of them. They were up in the 700kbps range and were much nicer than the older stuff. If only they could re-encode all their videos to this format, it'd be great!
I wish I was around to check out a webcam session, as I feel a definitely lack of personal interaction on the site as is. I would think a webcam show would help that feeling. But from what I've seen, which are the picture and video sets, it just doesn't feel like you get to know Celeste herself very much, which is disappointing. I'm a big fan of the extras in some other individual girl sites such as a chat board, or an active diary where users can comment and stuff on the postings. The content here was fine for what it is, but not enough for me to personally stick around longer than a month probably. Plus her updates don't seem to be 100% written in stone, but they usually come once a week. With a boost in content quality, and a few additions to help member interaction, I would be more inclined to stick around longer for sure and enjoy Celeste's shenanigans.

With an amateur site on the larger side of the norm before, I wasn't expecting a huge jump in numbers this time. But she's added quite a bit in these last few months. Thankfully she's still adding more of the larger photos, too, at 1000x700 on average. This will definitely help her quality score, as more of the sets are bound to have this size now (although still not a majority of her content).
Also new is the look of the member's area. The layout is almost the exact same, there's just new colors and graphics to be seen. For some reason I found this new look a little more confusing, even though it's laid out the same. There's just not enough contrast overall.
Her journal seems to be updated pretty regularly now, which is great. She runs a good site, and has for a long time, and I think the score reflects that. Definitely check her out if you're a fan of hardcore amateurs.
Score increased from 79.0 to 80.2.

It looks like we've got another new look here for Celeste Fox's site, both in the tour and member's area. Her site has also been growing quite regularly with multiple updates each week. Her diary was quite active which I don't really remember from before, and she does the whole cam show thing as well (except for a brief break in June here). Overall, she still provides her great hardcore lifestyle for you to enjoy and does a lot of things well here. She has fun with what she does, and she's been doing it for quite a while which is nice for the authenticity factor. The content is looking better than ever before, especially when you remember this is an amateur site (though it can be tough to figure out which video is best, keep trying!). Overall, some nice stuff here and worthy of a score jump!
Ohh quick addition here. Celeste just set our users up with a great discount of just $15 a month instead of $22 or so. Even better join now!!
Score increased from 80.2 to 82.5.
