Dawn's Place is the website of busty amateur Dawn Allison. Sporting a set of natural 32DDDs, Dawn loves to show off her plunging cleavage to fans and members of her attractively designed website. Those are really the first two things I noticed when I visited this website, her amazing chest and her nice looking site. I'd say we're off to a very good start.
Dawn has two options for membership. Guests can join her Silver membership for $25 (recurring at $20) and access the entire site with photos that are 720x480 in size and video that plays at 450k, 320x240 in size. The Gold VIP membership costs $30 a month and gives members photos at 1024x683 that are offered in zip files and video that plays at 1000k and is 710x480. The Silver membership is appropriate for those looking for your typical amateur site. The Gold is for those looking for a little more quality than most amateurs offer and are willing to pay for it.
Dawn currently has around 10,000 photos online and a new gallery is added once a week. The picture quality is definitely above average. Her husband is her photographer and he clearly knows a thing or two about how to take a good picture. These are sharp and clear and her sets are thoughtfully laid out while maintaining somewhat of a homemade amateur feel. She keeps things pretty varied in her galleries. While most of the sets are softcore, she mixes things up by shooting outdoors, in black and white, in costumes like schoolgirl, Santa's helper, and hula girl, in the shower, in the snow, and in a number of sexy lingerie outfits. Also keep in mind that I said that most of her sets are softcore. Dawn still takes a trip to the wild side in scenes that include titty fucks, facials, blowjobs, and even anal! And with a rack like that, her titty fucks are most impressive!
Members will find 350 videos currently available with a new one added each week. All that I said about the photos holds true for the videos. All of these movies look much better than what you find on most amateur sites and if we're talking about her VIP 1000k clips, well those blow what you find on other amateur sites out of the water. These clips look fantastic at full-screen. Even the smaller clips for Silver members look great. The only real negative thing about these videos is that they're DRM protected so even if you download them, once your membership expires you can no longer access them. And that's a real shame because you will certainly want to save these awesome looking videos.
Other things you'll find on the site include a diary, message board, weekly camshows, audio clips, and friend galleries, along with some third party live and recorded video feeds. The diary and message board aren't terribly active but she does write on them occasionally. She does her camshows consistantly every week, at least.
I was really pleased with Dawn's Place. The quality of her content is really great, the site is attractive and easy to navigate, and the size of this exclusive collection is good for an amateur site. The only thing I don't like is the video licensing. I'd also like to see more diary updates but that's a minor point. Overall this is a very strong site. The Gold VIP membership is definitely pricey but I really appreciate that she offers it as an option to members. No matter which you choose, Silver or Gold, I don't think you'll be disappointed at Dawn's Place.

Review: 05-10-07 |
Dawn's Place impressed me at our last visit and, two years later, it's better than ever. There are now around 22,000 photos and 457 video clips online, a very large collection for an amateur site. Updates still take place a few times a week, making it no wonder why the site is so large. In December of 2006, she redesigned the site and it really looks great. Plus, the photos and videos have been efficiently organized. The pricing structure has changed and it's now $30 a month, or $20 a month if you join for at least two months. Still pricey but worth it for a site like Dawn's. DRM restrictions remain my biggest complaint here. All in all, this is definitely still a great join for amateur fans.
Score decreased from 83.1 to 83.0.
