In the title Delia CD the "CD" stands for cross-dressing. I'm not up to date on hip shortcut abbreviations but it's clear what the site is about once the abbreviation is understood. The guest tour consists of just a handful of pages but Delia manages to lay out a thorough summary of the site's concept and what members get for their money.
The Goods:
- Exclusive Cross Dressing Amateur. I'm of the opinion that it's good for a solo amateur site to have a niche focus. The cross dressing niche (and I guess tranny too) is an excellent specialty since it's not saturated with solo performers like other niches like teen. A solo performer with all original content is likely to be desired by fans of this niche. He definitely has quite an interesting mix of outfits to use for his shoots.
- Balanced Pic, Vid, & Show Content. All the pieces are in place that I look for from a solo amateur. The number of picture galleries and videos are nearly the same with only a slightly larger number of galleries. Member interaction comes in the form of regular weekly webcam shows and a journal that's kept up to date with fairly regular entries.
The Bads:
- Smallish Sized Site. Growth is the biggest thing I'll be looking for when it comes time for a follow-up. The updates come up once per week which isn't all that fast but they are consistent. If these continue for months or years they'll definitely increase the overall quantity.
- Average Quality Videos. I found the WMV files to have a tad too much grain and a couple times I ran into clips only offered in Real Video format. Consistency in format and a little bump up in quality would go a long way here.
Conclusion:
Delia CD has solid foundation with its cross dressing niche and mix of picture, videos, webcam, and journal content. He is taking advantage of the best thing amateur sites have to offer which is personal interaction with members. It's definitely a bit different from the typical paysites listed in our tranny niche.

Review: 06-02-09 |
More than two years have passed since our initial review of Delia CD and that time has made a significant difference to what’s available. With archives going back to 2004 there is now noticeably more depth to the number of shoots in the member’s area. The additions have been steady and are browsable by year with each content item clearly date-stamped. Both the amount of photo galleries and videos are over a hundred and I still feel the balanced collection and solo amateur cross dressing focus are the main assets for Delia. Considering the size of things now they could use some additional navigation tools such as categories like hardcore, softcore, solo, cam show, etc. The calendar/schedule, cam shows, and blog are also still active parts of the member’s area.
Score increased from 74.0 to 77.5.
