Well today we're going to check out a site called Kristi Kitty, which is an amateur site of a gal named (oddly enough) Kristi Parker. She says she's a 19-year-old student, and is evidently hornier than most guys according to her front page. I went to check out her bio, but it came up as a 404 error so I couldn't learn any more about her there. Her site has a definite amateur feel to it, but hopefully it'll be easy enough to get around once inside. Membership is a standard $20 a month here which is okay.
The member's area looks pretty similar to the tour, though there's a horizontal text menu up top instead of a vertical one on the left. You'll also notice that the member's URL is that of the Wild Rose Network which you also get access to.
I went straight to the photos section of course, and I was a little disappointed with the update schedule. It looks like something new is put up 1-3 times per month, and lately it's been closer to 1-2 updates a month which is quite slow. With the 39 galleries she lists, they go back to April, 2004, which is over a year and a half ago. The second gallery I clicked on didn't actually link anywhere, so chalk that up to another linking problem. Quite a few of the galleries are just webcam captures which hurts the situation more (about 1/3 of them I'd say, though again it's been worse recently). The others vary in size from 1024x768 which is decent, to 512x384 which is not so good. Even the large ones look a little too drab/amateur for my liking, and could use some more contrast or something. The pictures also automatically start forwarding to the next one every 10 seconds in slideshow format, though there's a small text link on the thumbnails page to view them without that (which should be the default if you ask me).
Her videos are in one long list, and all the links to play them are right on this same page as well. They come in Windows Media Video format, in either small clips or a full-scene download. The specs varied a ton ranging from 300kbps to 3mbps, all in 320x240 format from what I saw. Even the higher-end videos looked only barely okay, mostly due to an older camera I think. Her diary mentioned she was getting a new one next month, which should be a big upgrade I hope. There's a good mix of solo and hardcore here, and they're separated from each other as such.
Besides the whole network you get access to which is pretty dang nice, there are a few other things to keep you busy here. Her diary is updated pretty often, though it mostly seems to deal with site-related notes, and not much in the way of personal info. She does a camshow once a week, and keeps a few archives of those available to watch. She also offers private cam shows if you're interested in those.
Overall, the site is just a bit small, and the quality is lacking too much for a real recommendation. I'd like to see more updates of course which would help the most. The network full of content will keep you busy otherwise, but if you're just here for Kristi, you could get through the whole site in not a lot of time. Not a bad start, especially for some true amateur stuff here, but there's definitely a good bit that can be improved.

Review: 03-26-07 |
It's always nice to come back to a site a while later and see some definite positive improvements, which is the case here today at Hardcore Kristi I can say! The site has seen some nice growth thanks to regular updates, and now offers a much more respectable collection. Quality is also a bit better too, especialy in the video department. Diary entries are decent as well, though the cam shows are gone from the schedule now. You still get access to the Wild Rose Network as well, which is a great bonus. So I like what I'm seeing from Kristi, and hope she continues to grow and improve her site in the near future.
Score increased from 68.3 to 74.5.
