Club Maria Bellucci is the official website of German pornstar Maria Bellucci. She’s new to me but apparently she has worked for a few European agencies and has made quite a name for herself abroad. She’s certainly beautiful and one could easily become a fan just looking at her preview pictures. The tour is attractive and the photos look professional. Once inside, though, Maria wasn’t as involved as I hoped so things began with a mixed first impression.
The Goods –
Most of the material here is exclusive and all of it looks great. I’m not sure that all of it is exclusive, but most of the sets do carry that label so I assume much of it can’t be found elsewhere. All of the scenes are high resolution with photos at 1600x1000 pixels and videos that play at around 1000k. Maria has clearly worked with some skilled photographers and she’s got the collection to show for it.
Updates come often. Every other day a new gallery or video is added. They’re very consistent with the updates so you can count on something new to see at just about every visit.
Maria offers a special discount price for readers of The Best Porn. You can join for just $15 a month, which is half off the regular price of $30 a month. That really helps the value of the site.
The Bads –
The collection is quite small. You’ll currently find around 3,200 photos and 34 videos. Though the videos are pretty good length at around 25 minutes a piece, there just aren’t very many of them.
Don’t come here expecting much Maria. Maria has just 19 movies and 25 galleries. The rest of the content is all of her girlfriends. Plus, there is no interaction with Maria or any of the perks you would expect from her official site. All in all it runs more like a generic glamour site.
The site is so simple, it’s confusing. The main way to browse the content is by date on the main page. I was annoyed that they don’t separate the videos from the photos, or even tell you which update is a video and which is a gallery. It was also disappointing that they don’t tell you anything about the scene on that page either. There’s no title, no model name, nothing. All you get is a preview pic and a preview pic of a nipple with a dildo on it tells me little. There is a model index that helps and provides more information, but overall the site is very much in need of some actual browse features.
Conclusion –
Club Maria Belluci is a good site for fans of general glamour babes in hardcore and softcore scenes. There’s not enough of Maria here to satisfy her fans, however. With the special discount price, I can deal with some of the site issues and certainly it’s a good deal considering how often updates come. There’s still a lot of room to improve, though.
