Most of you have probably already heard of Tawnee Stone, as she was plastered all over the internet a couple years back. They've been busy at work, bringing out quite a few new individual amateur's sites, as well as their old standards. They've been pretty innovative with customer loyalty ideas, and their newest site Lightspeed World is no different. The deal here is that you pay a hefty $40 a month (which is only $5 a month more than joining one of their single sites), and you get to pick and choose 10 sites you want to be a member of each month. Once you're done (if you rebill), you can choose 10 new (or the same) sites for the next month, as long as you're a member. That means in three months you could basically see their entire collection, and then figure out your favorites to stick around for the long-term.
Two of their sites we've already reviewed, so you can get an in-depth, detailed look at those sites by checking our their pages below (Tawnee and Jordan). For the rest of them, we're going to take a small peek at each, and you can also check out their screen caps and preview pics through the links below.
Jordan Capri - Already reviewed, check out a more detailed look at the link above.
Tawnee Stone - Already reviewed, check out a more detailed look at the link above.
Tori Stone - Tori is Tawnee's little sister, and looks just as cute (if not more so). Unfortunately it doesn't look like her site gets as much attention. For some reason she looks a little more ethnic to me than the other girls do, but maybe I'm just seeing things. She's got 16 solo sets, five sets with her sister (nothing weird going on, you freaks), and 12 videos. There's no update schedule, so she might not have any new stuff come out.
Lightspeed University - LSU (haha) is a cheerleader fetish type site. You'll see a bit of their own girls here in uniform, some girls they shoot just for this site, and also some bought content it seems. They break down the photo sets by how hardcore they are, but even the seniors only usually get to some dildos at best. There's lots of pics and videos to check out, so probably worth it if you're into the cheerleader thing. It's updated Mondays and Fridays.
Lightspeed Sorority - The LS Sorority site is dedicated to young coed chicks, with the main focus being on "lesbian initiation parties." Like the other mega-sites, you'll see a lot from their own girls, and a lot of bought content as well. Their own stuff tends to be very softcore, while the other stuff can get a little crazier. They're in different sections, so no real confusion as to which you're looking at. The site is updated Mon, Wed, and Fri with something new.
King of Tease - King of Tease is a picture only site dedicated to bringing you all kinds of softcore niches. They offer up categories such as panties, uniforms, skirts, sports, teens, and fetish. A quick look over the content didn't find any of the usual Lightspeed girls here. They update once a week on Tuesdays.
Max Softcore - This site is almost a clone to me of King of Tease. It's another pic only site, with a bunch of softcore niches available (just different once than King had). Here you'll find panties, nylons, schoolgirls, skirts, and "tease wear." Again, I didn't find any LS girls, so tread carefully if they're what you're looking for. The site claims it's updated on Wednesdays, although there's no dates on anything.
Dirty Aly - Aly is a great-looking long-haired blonde beauty. Her breasts are all natural, and look fantastic as well. She's got the taller, skinny look if you're into that. She's got 45 solo galleries up right now, and 18 girl/girl sets. There's only 13 videos up, which are evenly split between girl/girl and solo. Her site is updated once a week on Thursdays, with either a pic or video set.
Sweet Devon - Devon probably looks the most different from the other girls, but I think she's one of my fav's. She's got long, dark hair, and isn't as bone-skinny as the rest of them are. I think her boobs are fake, but they're not overdone if they are. I read a rumor on the message boards that she's not involved in the site anymore, but I'm not 100% sure. Her journal hasn't been updated in two months, take that for what it's worth. There's almost 30 solo sets up, as well as 4 girl/girl sets, and 17 videos. Updates were coming every two weeks, but dropped to one a month in January. Too bad :(
Little Trouble Maker - Joey's the new girl on the block, but that doesn't take anything away for me. She's as cute as the rest, with dark/red hair, and the obligatory tight teen body. She has 23 solo sets up, five sets with the girls, and seven videos. It's definitely one of the smaller sites, but they're updating every Friday, so she'll definitely grow in time since she's one of their own.
XXX Raimi - Raimi fits right in with the other girls, with the skinny body and perfect natural breasts. Her hair is a highlighted blonde/brown color, and medium length. She's really grown up a lot in her more recent sets, she just looks great all around. She has 30 girl/girl photosets up now, and 55 solo sets (which actually include a couple brief hardcore appearances as well with a dude). There's only 15 videos up, with the standard split of solo and girl/girl clips. She updates on Thursdays.
Hot Cartoons - Hopefully the type of content they offer here is pretty obvious. They have a few picture sections divided up by what type of cartoon it is I guess (anime, comics, etc.). They also have some flash based comics, and some videos to watch as well. They seem to update a few times a month, although there's no set schedule.
Reel 18 - Reel 18 was tough to figure out. At first, I thought it'd be a huge movie site. It is, although there are pics as well for each scene. Basically it seems to be an amateur site, mostly softcore (or girl/girl) stuff, that offers up videos and pictures of these chicks. These aren't the Lightspeed ladies, in case you were wondering. They also seem to have a water fetish, as a lot of the scenes are in lakes, hot tubs, showers, etc. They seem to update semi-regularly, although there are no dates.
Cherry Twinks - Here's the token gay site necessary in any network ;-) I think I read somewhere from the owners of Lightspeed that they know they don't do gay well. But if you're into it, it's here amongst all the teen girls. They offer up pics and videos, some exclusive. They update on Wednesdays with either a new pic set, or a video clip.
Real Girls TV - Real Girls TV appears to be a site based on exhibitionists. There doesn't appear to be any real content here, rather it's just plugin stuff. You can find some normal pics around (from another site), but it's nothing to write home about. I'd skip this if I were you.
Tiffany Paris - Tiffany is one of the newer girls in the network. I like the photography better here (more colorful and vivid), and I'm not sure if that's because it's a different photographer, or LS is just choosing to shoot differently. Regardless, she's skinny, tan, and blonde, so she fits right in with the rest. She has 40 solo sets up right now, and eight videos. The fact that she doesn't hang with the other girls is suspicious for sure. She's updated every Friday with something new.
Kinzie Kenner - Kinzie looks a bit different than the other chicks too. Again, the photography is similar, but not the same. She's still a cutie, and looks like she belongs. She's got long highlighted hair, and a petite frame. She's got 40 photo sets up now (mostly solo), and eight videos. Her site's updated each Friday with something new.
Upskirt Sniper - As the name implies, this is an upskirt only site. This is a much bigger site than the church upskirt one, but still features nothing but upskirts. The pics appear to be screen caps to me, and they offer some videos as well (eight of em at least). It says its updated on Fridays; even though there's no dates on galleries, the top of the page shows the current "next update" day, so it seems to be current still.
Rachel 18 - Rachel's one of the original LS girls, and unfortunately I think she's no longer involved with the site. She's VERY softcore, but looks great. She's always tan, and has a great ethnic look to her (with those eyes and the dark hair). She has just over 30 solo sets, 6 party/2girl sets, and 6 videos. There doesn't appear to be any updates recently, so don't hold your breath.
Church Upskirts - Obviously this is an upskirt site, brought to you by a dude named Steve Church evidently. The site is mostly pictures (although there's a few videos as well), but is very rarely updated. There has only been six new sets posted in the last year. The content is solely upskirt content, and nothing else (not even their faces). I'd stay away unless you're really into the upskirt thing.
University Brats - This is a solo girl amateur teen site, again, but I didn't see any of their own content here. This appears to be mostly bought stuff, setup similar to their other picture only sites. They update every Thursday here. Unfortunately this wasn't one of my favorite sites in the bunch.
Cum Filled Panties - Cum Filled Panties is a weird little site. At first I thought it was focused simply on the panty niche, but then in a lot of the pics you see some weird cum-like stuff on her hands (and in her panties). The rub is that there's no guys anywhere to be seen - so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be her cum, or what. This is an all picture site, and they update every Tuesday and Thursday.
Evita's Playhouse - Evita is another that doesn't quite fit in with the others. The photography is a bit different, she's not hanging out with the other LS girls, so something's definitely not the same here. Still, she fits the bill looks-wise with her petite frame, small boobs (that look great tan), and blonde hair. She has 31 solo sets (two of which go to 404 pages), eight hardcore sets, and 12 videos. There's no real update schedule here, although it looks like she gets a new solo set every month or so.
Taylor Little - Taylor's undergone some changes since I last remember her. Those implants are huge, and unfortunately I'm not a huge fan (although I never am). She's usually a long-haired blonde, although she has quite a few different looks. She does have a great ass in my opinion! She's just recently added some hardcore sets and clips, but it's still pretty new. Otherwise she has 43 solo sets, which are lately only updated once a month :( There's also 58 girl/girl sets, and 17 videos. She updates once a week on Wednesdays.
As you can tell, there's lots to see. Over the years it's pretty apparent that Lightspeed has focused more on what they do best. I'd enjoy the site if I joined the single girl's sites (the LS ones), or maybe even the mega-sites they do themselves. They have their own photography style, which fits the niche well. These sites offer a lot of exclusive content, of a lot of cute young chicks. It's a little more expensive than other networks out there, but you're not going to find this stuff on other sites. It's an ok deal if you don't mind shelling out the cash, since they've got their market cornered pretty well.

Review: 07-02-06 |
Well things look pretty similar around a lot of the sites in the Lightspeed World network. A lot of my original review remains true except for a few things. There are more girls than there were before, and many of the sites are larger than they were last time as well (though you can find some older girls that obviously haven't grown much). The pricing is still on the high side, but it's all exclusive content and they've built themselves a brand name here.
One big negative for me is that all their sites are so similar looking. You get the same menu layout, the same clutter towards the bottom of the page, and the same lack of interaction except for the message board. I'd love to see things freshened up a bit inside, with higher quality and new designs; of course what they have now works just fine, but something new is always appreciated.
Score decreased from 84.3 to 84.2.

OMG what a long-ass initial review I wrote, lol. Things have changed a lot since then with a lot more girls and content available overall. It looks like the video options have expanded a little bit as their download choices are looking pretty good. They had a growth spurt a while back with lots of new girls which breathed new life into the network, though the photography is a little different for these newer girls (it's good, just different).
In some big news, that $40 price tag now gets you access to all 31 sites instead of a few rotating choices which is a nice touch. More content for the money!
As far as things to work on, I'd love to see a better design for the sites with less links and ads floating around. Quality could use a little bump with larger pictures and better encoding rates for videos being at the top of the list.
Otherwise, the content and message board feature are the best things going here and the reason to lay down your cash. They have a pretty unique collection of content and girls that's done them well over the years.
Score decreased from 84.2 to 83.5.
