You gotta love when chicks come up with their pornstar names to see what they are. Today we're checking out Dawn Desire (at least she doesn't even try to make you think it's her real name or anything!), who looks to have a pantyhose fetish thing going on here. While she gives quite a bit of info on the tour, she doesn't tell you much about herself for some reason from what I saw. I guess you'll have to go by looks alone, which isn't a big problem for us internet fans I guess.
There are quite a few options to join to the site, but it boils down to $20 a month for access which isn't too bad at all. The member's area has a slight amateur feel to it, but looks decent. The menu is pretty simple, though there are more options here than I'm used to seeing. Links to her galleries and video clips are in the upper-right, which are the main places to go to find content.
I went to the photo galleries first, and was a bit surprised to see a guide to browsing her galleries. This could be real cool due to some fun features, or it may be more trouble than it's worth! After affirming you want to go to the galleries with a click, you'll have to choose which year you'd like to see (which ranges from 2001 to 2005, plus a section for cam show captures and another for video clips). Once you've picked a year, you'll have to pick a model. Apparently there's a lot more than one girl here like the site title makes you think, so maybe that's why there isn't much in the way of a bio. 2005 has 12 models up currently, including Dawn herself of course. From there, you'll finally get a list of the galleries available to check out. Not too confusing, she's just trying to keep all the content organized.
Pictures are all on the amateur side, and Dawn has the most available obviously. They all seem to have multiple sets though, but a few features are missing in my opinion. First, there's no info on the models themselves which is too bad. Second, it looks like you might only get sets from that model in that year. Maybe the girls I saw were only around in one year, but I wouldn't mind seeing all of a girl's pictures linked in one place. Zip files are available as well, and getting around the gallery is pretty straightforward. 800x600 seems to be the standard size, and most of the photos look good overall (though there's nothing spectacular here).
Video clips aren't quite as organized, mostly because there aren't as many of them. There's no real preview available, which makes choosing one just by date a bit difficult. Once you do pick one, they are divided up into smaller parts and offered in two quality options - both of which come in a zip file. I'm not a fan of zip files for videos, as it adds an annoying extra step for not that much saved disk space, and you have to fully download them before starting to watch them unlike others. Lower-quality videos seem to be Windows Media Video, while higher-quality versions are MPGs at 720x480 and 1500kbps. The quality isn't quite there for me, even with the nice specs, and it may be an older video camera or just bad encoding specs to blame (not 100% sure). The picture just isn't real crisp like I'm used to seeing. They're not bad, but they definitely have that amateur feel to them as well. If you're up for a few extra clicks, they do offer a "preview" version which is their standard WMV offering without the zip file download. This first plays in your browser, but can be opened in your player as well. Specs are only 320x240 and 400kbps, and obviously don't even look as good as the MPG versions do. But the option is there to not have to download the whole thing first!
There is a cam schedule up, and she was semi-active in September (1-2 times a week), though there's only one show scheduled for October right now which doesn't look good. No diary or anything like that, so the only real extras seem to be the girlfriend galleries.
Overall, it's an okay site here. It definitely has an amateur feel to it all around which is okay, but you're losing a bit of quality you might be used to seeing these days. I like that everything is categorized, but I also miss having a central place to see the latest updates and stuff. It might be a decent join for some new pantyhose content, but unless you get real involved with one of the girls (hopefully Dawn) and want to see more of them, I'm not sure how long I'd stick around personally.

Review: 10-26-06 |
Things are looking up around here at Dawn's site. A few of the random annoyances from before have been cleaned up, which is always nice to see. Browsing videos is much better now as you can see what you're getting into beforehand. She also got rid of the zip files for videos which I never understood in the first place. Pictures are larger than before and look a bit nicer overall. I still wish there were more new videos coming in comparison to photos, but at least the updates are coming and the site is growing. Overall, some nice changes for sure.
Score increased from 75.6 to 79.0.
