If there's one kind of amateur I'd like to see more than most, it's probably one with big old natural hooties (boobies, breasts, tits, etc.). So what better way to start the day than to see an amateur named Dawn as our site to look at. Dawn Allison has all-natural 32F (aka 32DDD, but that's just too many letters) boobs we all get to enjoy on her personal site.
She has two membership options, which is always confusing. The "silver" one is $25, which recurs at $20 a month after that. The upgraded version (aka "gold") is $30 a month recurring. The higher price basically gets you everything in the silver version, plus high resolution photos (in the 1024x786 range apparently), higher resolution videos, and zip file downloads. If those are important to you, you may want to look into spending a little more there. The basic one gets you 720x480 pics, and 320x240 and 450kbps video only.
Her site looks nice, and it's not too difficult to get around. Nothing is really standard here, but it's easy to figure out. To get a picture (after you find a gallery, of which there are only 10 per page which sucks), you have to click on a thumb twice to get the full-size photo. More options means more annoyances too I guess. Plus, the border around the pictures reloads every time, and the large picture opens up in a new window. Okay, enough complaining, for now at least! The pictures look pretty nice once you get to them, and sure enough the specifications from before were spot on. They are generally very well-lit, and have good color and composition. They're definitely a pretty big step up from what you usually see on an amateur's site.
Finding a video you like is pretty similar to finding a photo gallery. I don't think it's the best setup with all those frames and stuff, but it works. Obviously there are two video options, depending which membership you have. The bad news here is that they are all DRM protected, and require that you be a member to watch them. They're downloadable as well, but the active membership is still required. As expected, the high-quality videos look very nice at 710x480 (odd size!) and 1100kbps. Lighting and setup is just as good as in the photos, which is to say very good. Again, it's a definite step up from what I was expecting.
There are also a lot of extras, including a diary (that hasn't been updated in a few months), audio, friends galleries, feeds, and more. Overall it's a very nice site, especially for an "amateur." The two big problems are the high price, and DRM on the videos. With the content quality, I could live with the higher price (especially since she offers a lower-priced option), but the DRM is a big pain all around. The site is still definitely worth a look, especially if you're into Dawn!

Dawn's Place is larger than ever thanks to the regular updates and all that she still does. The site has also been redesigned and looks good all around in my opinion. Video quality has been bumped up to keep up with the times, but that pesky DRM still is included with all of them. Her diary entries still come, but only about twice a month, and cam shows aren't really the norm anymore. Otherwise, the content still looks decent and updates come pretty often, so you're getting a good collection here. The price is now $30 a month, or $40 every two months, which is a little simpler than last time around.
Score increased from 81.7 to 82.0.
