KatVixen.com is the website of busty amateur Toni. A swinging 30 year old with a DDD chest, Toni has been running her site since January of 2000. She spent her first year and a half online obscuring her face behind sunglasses, even in her member's area. Since then, however, she has become more comfortable with her site and not only has she ditched the shades, she now spends her life in front of several voyeur cams 24/7 and has even graced the pages of several curvy adult magazines.
Toni's site is very simple in terms of design and navigation. It may not be fancy, but it gets the job done. You'll have no problem finding your way to her picture categories which include softcore, hardcore, girl-girl, interracial and public shoots. There are currently just over 10,000 exclusive pictures online, which as you might know by now, I find to be on the upper end for most good amateur websites. I really couldn't determine what sort of update schedule they follow, but there seems to be around 4 new galleries put up each month. Picture quality has increased dramatically since the site was launched. It may be fun to check out the older sets here and there but the good stuff is definitely in the newer galleries. The pictures are much larger (600x800) and are much sharper. Not to mention the absense of sunglasses! I would imagine Toni's members threw a party when she stopped using those in pictures. She looks much younger and personable sans shades. Toni is a hardcore chick and though you will find a sizable collection of sexy lingerie solo shoots, she really seems to get a kick out of sex shoots, admitting that she loves gangbangs and group sex. Usually she writes a bit about the shoot and explains how it came about and what she thought of it. She shares all of it with her members.
Toni also has a good collection of video clips and performs several live camshows each week. You'll currently find around 150 clips online. The older ones are shorter (around 2-4 min long each) and much choppier than the new ones (which go up to 35 minutes long and are much brighter and clearer). The newest clips are some of the nicest I have seen on an amateur site. These are, for the most part, all very hardcore. She does some titty play and masturbation but most of these clips feature blowjobs and lots of sex. Overall I was impressed with the volume of video clips she has and the quality of her newer ones. For voyeurs, she has three live cams set up in her house, though unfortunently I didn't see her on them while I was visiting the site. She does perform 2 one hour long shows each week so you're guaranteed to see her then. And if you happen to miss a show, don't worry. She has the highlights of all her past shows archived. There are currently around 90 clips available, each from 2-20 minutes long. Judging from her cam archives, she usually has a toy sharing the spotlight with her. I felt Toni's video setup was very complete and entertaining.
You'll also find some friends photos, bonus pictures, live feeds and Toni's own journal inside. Of all of these the most interesting was by far Toni's diary. She updates it regularly with her everyday thoughts and activities. It's really a good read and I think this type of interaction is essential for a quality amateur site.
I was very pleased with KatVixen.com. I found it to be an amateur website that succeeds in portraying a sexy woman who really enjoys what she's doing. Photo and video quality are good for this type of website and you really get to know Toni, which is one of the most important aspects of an amateur site. I'd like a set update schedule and I might kick up the design but those are both pretty small points. The monthly price is quite reasonable ($18/mo) so if Toni has captured your eye then I see no reason you wouldn't enjoy KatVixen.com.

Looks like busty babe Kat Vixen has been working hard on a very attractive new site design! With it comes some new navigation features as well as a search box (though it still seems buggy) that make browsing the site very easy.
Her photo collection has grown quite a bit from around 10,000 images to over 16,000 and her number of videos has also increased from 148 to 203. She now has her updates nicely labeled (formerly that wasn't the case) and while it looks like she still adds a personal gallery around once a week, she supplements that with several updates a week of other hot amateurs and pornstars.
This new design and more frequent update schedule does come at a price. The monthly membership cost has gone up from $18 a month to $24. I never like to see increases but hey, she was only bringing it up to what now seems to be pretty standard for amateur sites. I'm really happy with the changes here and am bumping up a few scores. This is definitely one very enjoyable amateur website!
Score increased from 76.6 to 78.8.

Meow! Another year gone by and Kat Vixen continues to deliver her own brand of hardcore amateur porn. Once again, her update schedule has improved so that now she adds a new personal gallery or video daily. That's practically unheard of on an amateur site. More video options have been added and some of the navigation bugs have been worked out. Kat really goes above and beyond what is expected from an amateur site. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next time.
Score increased from 78.8 to 82.2.
