GirlsOutWest.com is an Australian amateur website featuring real Aussie girls doing what they love to do, get naked for the camera. The webmaster is sex photographer Annie whose vision is "ultimately anti-mainstream pornography." She tries to create an honest, friendly, intimate atomosphere "showing everyday girls, doing everyday things, in everyday locations, in an everyday way." The models come from all walks of life and represent many different body types. They range from 20-35 years old and waif-like to beyond chubby, with most falling into the curvy category in between. Some are pierced and tattooed. Some are completely natural. All love to be in front of the camera sharing their sexuality with the whole world.
The site design is simple and cute. It's organized pretty well with a list of models on one page and a list of categories on another. It's nothing fancy but you should have no trouble browsing these babes. As I surfed the site I especially enjoyed all the personal information about the models that they share. This includes their stats, likes and dislikes, as well as a blurb from Annie on how she met the model and/or how the shoot went. This really gives a good character to the site.
I counted 106 galleries currently online and though they do vary quite a bit in size, I'd estimate there are around 10,000 pictures available. This isn't a huge collection but it is all exclusive and the site has only been around for three months so all in all it's quite respectable. The update schedule will certainly help propel these numbers upward as updates occur twice a week with three or four galleries added each time. The pictures are professionally amateur. By that I mean that the settings are amateur (bedrooms, backyards and living rooms) and the girls strike natural poses but the picture quality is well beyond amateur. The photos are large (1000x670) and clear. They're well-lit and always in focus (and available in zip files). If you enjoy the amateur style but prefer higher quality, I think you'll like what Annie has to offer.
There is also a growing video section. There are 33 available now with a new one added once or twice a week. The videos are all mpegs and are downloadable only. Thankfully they download quickly and without any problems. The videos are nice and big at 512x368. They only play at 130k but they look damn good. At 100% these videos are very crisp and clear. While the photos are almost entirely softcore, things get a little harder in the video section. Here you'll find toys, blowjobs, watersports and lots of general wanking. Annie writes that the site is definitely going in a hardcore direction which will include girl-girl scenes and actual guy-girl sex. It's not easy to find such good quality content of hardcore amateur action so I'm sure members are looking forward to these additions.
GirlsOutWest.com is off to a very good start. The photo and video quality is great, the updates are large and frequent, and the price is reasonable at $20 a month. The collection does need time to grow and I'd love to see more video options offered so I'll definitely be checking back for those things in the future. For now, though, I still think this is a good collection for amateur lovers. This may be a new site, but someday Annie just might give Abby a run for her money.

Girls Out West was off to a good start when we last visited nine months ago. The site has grown quite a bit since then, more than doubling in size with the total number of galleries going from 106 to 261 and the video count increasing from 33 to 89. My only real complaint in my initial review was that the site was a little small and I'm pleased to say that's no longer the case. This is a good sized collection of exclusive material.
The tour has been redesigned but the member's area looks pretty much as I remember it, which is just fine because it's cute, clean, and easy to navigate. I think the only improvements that could be made navigationally is a way to browse the galleries instead of the models and thumbnails on the video page. Still, the model index and categories are a big help. I'm definitely a fan of Girls Out West. Annie has some good looking girls in good looking pictures. What more could you ask for?
Score remains at 81.7.

Girls Out West has come a long way since our last look nearly two years ago. The collection now includes over 50,000 photos and 450 videos of nearly 300 models, great for any site but particularly one with exclusive content. Picture quality is up with new images as large as 1250x834. Videos now play at 1100k which is another big improvement. The one thing holding the video section back, in my opinion, is the complete lack of viewing options. All they offer are download-only mpegs. More user features would definitely help out. They are improving one aspect of user-friendliness with the addition of an Advanced Search feature. It's still coming soon, but it's good to see that they're still making improvements. There's no question that you get a lot for your money on Girls Out West - exclusive content, frequent updates, nice quality content, and plenty of personality. I'm still a fan and look forward to seeing what they'll be doing next.
Score increased from 81.7 to 84.0.
