Joy of Spex's slogan is "Girls. Glasses. Amen.". Their site also says rotates some slogans like "Contact lenses? Just say no.", "you cannot stay mad at a woman who wears glasses", and "it's a scientific fact that women in glasses are sexier." I like the boldness of that last one, it reminds me of Homer Simpson's quote "Everyone knows rock n' roll attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact." Anyways, now that you have some idea where these guys are coming let me say that I too am down with chicks who wear glasses. It's a bit of a different look that I like providing the chick is sexy on her own sans glasses. Also, since I review so many porn sites, it's always fun to see some creativity and originality instead of the same old niches over and over. Glasses is a niche that isn't very common, so the Joy of Spex gets credit there.
Now that I've heaped some praise on the site it's time to go over the details of what they're offering. The content is fairly thin with 15 models and a total of around 2,100 pics and 17 videos. To describe Spexy's models, I'm going to steal a phrase I saw on their message board which labeled them as "beautifully common girls." There is a couple cute chicks but most aren't typical porn foxes and I think that quote really sums them up well. I should also say there's also an extra section of "Spexy Friends" made up of eight girls. Those are other amateurs who've donated some photos to this site. So between these friends and Spexy's own girls, that makes for 23 models. While it's mostly softcore, there is masturbation, toy play, and even blowjobs, especially in the videos.
The best thing about the material is that it's exclusive, they shoot it themselves. The pictures are good quality. At first I thought they were just average at 720x540, but then I noticed all of them can also be viewed at 768x1024 by clicking a button titled "huge". Huge I don't know, but they are large, clear, and sharp. The video quality is fine even though they've chosen QuickTime, my least favorite format, and every video is made up of many clips (average about 8).
Aside from the message board (really a guest book) and a store, the additional content comes in the form of the Wild Rose network. This is a group of 40 mostly amateur girl sites which sounds good, but I found it to be a bunch of crap. I clicked on many sites and ran across a couple dead links, sucky sites, and others with stupid pop-ups. Maybe there's some good ones, but don't bother making your join decisions because of this. Joy of Spex costs $19.95/mo with a $7.95 3-day trial option. I really am impressed that these guys offer a trial, that's very cool. Even the monthly rate is fair considering how unique of a niche they've got and that they produce original content.
