Today we're presented with yet another amateur site to take a look at, this one brought to us by Kat Vixen over at KatVixen.com. Check out the tits this chick has, they're enormous! Along with her huge boobies, her and her husband Torn are into the swing scene, so there's a good mix of softcore and hardcore on the site to keep things fresh.
The look and feel of the site is very amateur in nature. I'm not sure that I like the color scheme, as it's a little hard on my eyes (for some reason the blue doesn't quite blend well with the gray and black for me). Regardless, the site is pretty straight-forward. You can easily get to her photos or videos with one click. Her photo galleries are divided up into a few sections, I wish there was a way to view them all just in chronological order... but I'm just picky sometimes ;-)
The photos are pretty typical amateur-style stuff. A lot of the galleries are at least 1-2 years old, so there are quite a few photosets with pictures in the 600x400 and 640x480 range. The newer sets are in the 800x600 range, but it's a bit difficult to find them as the "what's new" page only shows the last eight sets or so added. Beyond that, it'll be a bit more hit or miss as to whether the set is newer or older. The quality of the photos is good, but not great. Obviously cameras have improved over time, which has helped the pictures a bit, but I think in the situations these two are in it's pretty difficult to get picture-perfect photos each time. They do a good job of getting the point across though (sex, and lots of it).
The videos section is pretty large for an amateur site. There's well over 100 video clips available (closer to 150), and the quality isn't too bad either. They're in Windows Media format, 320x240 around 350kbps. Usually the camcorder seems to be on a tripod, so that stays pretty still which definitely helps picture quality. There's lots of hardcore fun here, and I'd have to say this would be where I'd spend most of my time (when usually I'd hang out in the photo section of other amateur's sites). There's lots to see, and they look pretty good, so why wouldn't you hang out here?
She's also part of a few cam networks (so you should get a least 1-2 hour-long shows each week with her), as well as the HouseCamZ network which means she's get three 24/7 cams up and running in her house you can check in on whenever you like. I really like this idea, as it provides a unique view into her life. She also has a journal (that's a little tough to find), that she updates almost daily with new stuff. She gets pretty personal here, which is good.
At $18 a month, it's slightly cheaper than most amateur sites. The only real place I feel she's lacking is in the photo department, mostly because I couldn't tell when/where the latest updates were. I'm not a fan of having your pictures divided up so much, as it makes it harder to know if you've missed something. The videos section, however, is large and contains some nice looking videos. She offers the right extras, at the right price, so overall not too bad of a site at all.

Man, things have changed here. By the looks of it, I liked this site before, and it's even a bit better now. Not only does she have a new (much better) design up on the inside and outside, but she now appears to have a slick PHP script running things. This means everything is categorized much better, and is more browsable and searchable. Updates are much easier to find now as well, too.
She seems to keep busy with the site. Her journal entries are pretty regular, and the site has grown all around with more photos and videos. Along with these comes a price increase (booo!), but at least you get something for the extra money. This place is still a pretty good bet for a few people out there: amateur lovers, big boob fans, and hardcore swinging afficionados. A few scores will bump around, but a nice change here for sure.
Score increased from 78.3 to 81.7.

I think there's been another slight behind-the-scenes change here with the script powering her back end (speaking of powering her back end, ok no bad puns here!). Getting around was pretty simple, though there were a few slight issues I ran into. The pages loaded really slow for me for some reason, and once in a while there were little quirks (the dropdown category box didn't work for me, and when I logged in it said I had a private message but none were there).
Otherwise, things are going well here. Updates are coming like crazy (a new small part of a video is coming up pretty much every day), which means the site is bigger than ever. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the update schedule, but they do come. Her 24/7 cams are going strong, as are her blog updates.
One thing that surprised me was the video section. It took like 3-4 clicks to finally start watching a video (which was made worse by the slow pages). Once I finally got to one, the MPG download was 1.25 gigs large!! I wouldn't mind some smaller clips to check out to make that easier.
Overall though, some good stuff here! I think the next thing to tackle would be upgrading the quality all around a little bit.
Score decreased from 81.7 to 80.6.
