Christine Young's site is run by the people at Brain Entertainment, who are partners with Gamma Entertainment, who brought you sites such as Lesbo101, BrunoB, etc. So if you see some similarities (which you will) in the site, you'll know why. Since she's associated with all those people, you might have figured out that she's a Canadian gal. Even though she runs an individual girl site from up in Canada, she's not affiliated with those Montreal amateurs that have taken over it seems (Carol Cox, AngieXXX, Seska, etc). Her site is a bit more corporate as you'll see, which has its pluses and minuses for sure.
One of the first things that hit me was the words used around the site. It's the damn Canadian in her coming out lol. When laughing, instead of the usual "hehe" or something similar, she says "hihi." Now why do you have to say hi to me twice? Plus this sentence on the homepage just made no sense to me, "So I to finaly invite a foot fetichist..." Well enough making fun of the language differences...
After logging in, I was trying to figure out when the latest updates were. Unfortunately the news page simply goes to her diary, which doesn't offer any help there. There's a calendar section in the bottom corner, but I have absolutely no idea what the hell it means. Some squares are white, some are pink, some are yellow, and others are green. Of course the days didn't even line up with the current month, so I don't know what it represents. Otherwise, the site claims it updates once a week, and hopefully they wouldn't lie to us ;-)
Her photo section is small! There's only four galleries on a page, and only like three pages of galleries. She has another "personnal" section which is her basically doing photosets not in the studio which is about the same size. All the photos I got to check out were pretty good quality, and always came in at 800x600. This is better than a lot of other amateur/single girl sites out there. But I was surprised that there was no real hardcore in the photos section, just her solo and with toys. For some reason I had it in my head she was a bit of a pornstar site, but they really play up the amateur angle here with the photos. At least the pictures look nice, which is more than can be said for a lot of amateur sites.
The videos section is about the same size, which is kinda small. Thankfully there's tons of hardcore action here to keep ya interested. Plus, in true Gamma style, there's tons of options for video downloads (almost an overkill). In the high-speed section there are two Windows Media options at 700k and 228k, and an MPG at 650k. In the low-quality section there are another two Windows Media options at 56k and 128k, and an MPG at 350k. So you can't complain about the video options. The video itself is great, especaially (obviously) the highest quality ones. The server was a bit slow for me today, so I had a hard time checking out a ton of videos, but the ones I saw were great (even the funny accents were good). They remind me a lot of the Lesbo101 videos in style, location, etc.
Her diary is updated with anything from a sentence to a paragraph about 7-10 times a month. It looks like she also puts on a webcam show about twice a month, although I never saw one. The videos section (and the screen caps that go along with it) is updated once a week I finally confirmed. Plus in the extras section you get access to the Lesbo101 videos, along with BrunoB's, etc as with all their sites.
Overall the site is good, but not great. She needs a LOT more of her own content in my opinion, and that's what sucks about the site most. The quality is nice, but it doesn't cut it if there's not enough to look at. Thankfully the extras help boost the content #'s to make your membership cost worth it, but it's still a tossup to me as to whether or not I'd want to join the site based on what I saw. If she can bulk up a little of everything inside the member's area, I think it'd be a fine site. Until then though, it's viewer's choice as to what you guys think you wanna do.

Checking in on our little slut Christine, I see things have been moving along as planned. Mostly it's nice to see the regular updates all around, with the biggest change being the video count jump (which more than doubled). Nothing has really been added per se, but it's nice to see everything growing as expected, since a lot of sites just die off over time. Also, the network sites you get access to are great, as seen in our Brain Pass review.
Overall, it's still not quite a typical amateur site, but it's definitely a good deal nonetheless. Hopefully she continues the trend of hard work on her site!
Score increased from 86.4 to 86.9.

Unlike a few other Brainpass sites, Christine Young's site is still alive and kicking, and the growth is clearly evident here. There are more pictures and videos than ever before, and she continues to do her weekly cam show which I'm sure is a good time. Their network has grown as well, though some of the newer sites are quite small, but still there's more content than there used to be. Her diary is still active, though I wouldn't mind more in-depth posts at times. The other issue I have is I'm waiting on a quality bump in their videos to catch up with some of these newer sites these days; full-scene videos wouldn't hurt either. Overall, it's on the expensive side ($30 now), but the rest of the network helps alleviate some of the high cost. Still a solid site here, though I'm beginning to see some small room for improvements.
Score decreased from 86.9 to 82.5.
