Here at TBP we've reviewed a couple vintage/retro porn sites and Martha's Girls is distinctly different from the others. A typical vintage site is just jam packed with gallery after gallery of old time photos. Martha's site isn't like that at all; her focus seems to be solely on creating a site with an original style. Whether or not you'll find it appealing is a different story.
There isn't an abundance of content to see, this is a very small site. The two major sections include My Pornfolio and My Girls. My Pornfolio consists of galleries of Martha. They're recent modern pics most of which don't have anything to do with vintage porn. She's got some pretty classy outfits though and usually strips down to show off her boobs and/or butt. There's also a long introduction and bio to read but I really didn't connect at all with her writing style or sense of humor. Usually I like creative writers but this stuff just left me perplexed. I'm not sure what kind of attitude she was trying to convey.
My Girls is where the actual vintage porn can be found. All is very softcore with only boobs and butts exposed. Right now there are a total of 10 girls. Again, lots of writing accompanies each girl including a History of the Archive and Biography. Each girl also has background music fitting of her time period. I'm unsure how real vintage fans will take to this material since it's mostly vintage inspired instead of actual old school material. It's certainly different, that's for sure. On the upside you'll find better photo quality with this stuff than on the other retro sites.
I haven't ever seen a site exactly like Martha's Girls. The design certainly stands out; each of the models has a page with a one of a kind look. The one thing that really needs work is the amount of content. The foundation they've put together is nice, but there just isn't quite enough content as of yet. Let's hope it continues to grow. Thankfully at just $8.95/mo the price is nice and small too. Updates come once every three or four days.

My overall score for Martha's Girls is definitely going to rise during this follow-up. The total number of galleries is now in the hundreds even if the number of models hasn't grown all that much. Based on the Recent Updates" page which posts the 15 recent additions they seem to be consistently adding new stuff a couple times per week. I also will give more credit for entertainment value as this vintage emulation style is unique and well done. The one thing that's still missing is some sort of videos. I know vintage is traditionally photo based but if Martha's could add some videos it would make a big difference. Also, the price has been raised up so my value rating will be adjusted accordingly. These scores have changed: Quantity +4, Entertain +3, Download +1, Features +1, and Value -1.5.
Score increased from 63.3 to 73.3.
