Here I thought we'd be seeing some semi-cute, sweet girl next door who's a little kinky with her own amateur site. As soon as you see the tour for Only Carla though, you'll know that she's model material and that this isn't your general homemade porn site. It's got that corporate amateur feel, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. Membership will cost you $20 a month if you don't mind springing for the recurring option.
The goods:
- Updates come regularly. It seems like every few days something new is put up (sometimes even more often than that) which has kept the site growing pretty well (which was badly needed last time we were here).
- Site looks pretty nice. I like the layout which gives a lot of info and options while still letting the site look pretty nice. They use text, but it's formatted well and the use of tables spruces things up.
- Content looks good too. Pictures are large (in the 2000x1300 range) and videos look great as well. These are obviously not really amateur-type photos, as they look like nicely-produced content you might find on a normal paysite.
- Lots of options in the "My OnlyCarla" link. Why they name it that and why they hide these options is beyond me, but you can change things such as what picture size you want as default, if you want pics to open in a new window (and whether you want them by themselves, or on an HTML page), how many thumbs per page you want, etc. Nice stuff here!
The bads:
- Site needs some growth. It's doing better than last time I was here for the Express Review, but it's still not a huge site yet. The regular growth should definitely help here and next time we look it may not be an issue anymore.
- All their fun options are pretty hidden. Like I said, I don't know why they hide those options on a random page named "My OnlyCarla" which doesn't really tell you much of anything.
- Not sure why diary isn't on its own page. The diary entries come pretty often, but they're mixed in with photo and video updates which is strange. They have a dropdown box to filter it so you just see the diary entries, but you can't read it all without doing a bunch of clicking around.
- Navigation could be better. You can only view the content by month, and it first comes in one big list that's a bit confusing. As I mentioned before, you can filter things down by just the pictures, or just the videos, but you're still just looking at that one month's worth of content. There's no way to view all the photosets in one place from what I could see.
Conclusion:
There are just a few problems here that are still present from last time. The size of the site is definitely better, but could still use a little time to grow. The navigation has a lot of features and options, but it's missing the main way I like to browse for some weird reason. Other than that, Carla does quite a few things right with good-looking content, lots of updates, some good interaction, and all at a decent price.

Review: 03-05-08 |
Only Carly has only gotten better (only) since our last visit. This is mostly due to the growth in her site thanks to the regular updates. The site seems pretty similar to last time, and the content is looking just as good, though the videos don't look quite as good as the photos do to me. Her diary is still relatively active which is nice to see. She's doing pretty well here, so it's not a bad join at all if you like what you see.
Score decreased from 85.0 to 84.0.
