"Another nice collection of artsy photos here that's worth a look I'd say!" |

Heading to Pure Beauty Mag, I saw pretty much what I expected to see on the tour. This seems to be a photography-based site out of the Czech Republic that offers up some glamour content for your enjoyment. Also listed right on their first page is that they offer world news, original music, articles & interviews, and daily updates. Becoming a member costs $25 a month, and they seem to offer quite a few different price points depending how long you'd like to stay.
While there's a lot of stuff to see and click on, I found the member's area a little easier to get around than the tour was. Along the left are a familiar set of months you can browse through going all the way back to April, 2004. Sure enough, updates come daily as expected, though they didn't start coming that often until October, 2004.
Galleries open up into a new window, and it takes an extra click to actually see the content (they make you check out the magazine cover one more time). Pictures usually come in four different sizes, and the largest ones usually seem to range from 2500 - 3600 pixels long which is huge! 3600x2400 has got to be some of the largest porn pictures available out there, and the quality is great as expected as well. Some galleries are great, and some are just okay, but overall they're right what you'd expect to see for this type of site. They're pretty softcore of course, but there's a lot of beautiful women here to admire. They seem pretty natural too, as I saw a scar on a really hot chick that wasn't even airbrushed at all. They also offer a slideshow and four different zip files if you prefer to browse content that way.
There's a few other "magazines" to check out that they offer for more photos. The Exclusive Magazine offers their best work by their own standards, and is updated twice per month. The Best Of Magazine features their best sets as judged by users of the site, and the For Life Magazine offers up photos featuring natural shots in everyday settings. These are all updated once or twice a month as well, depending on which section it is.
There's also a Film Magazine where the videos are located that gives you behind-the-scenes footage, artistic videos, and documentaries on their models. A new video seems to come twice a month, and is offered in a few viewing formats: two quality options each in a Windows Media Video, Quicktime Video, and XviD video. Download speeds weren't quite "maximum" as advertised on their site, as they came about half speed for my connection at 300KB/sec. (this could be for any number of reasons however, many of them temporary). These looked decent as well of course, though the video encoding could be a little better. Specs are awesome as WMV's were at 608x444 and 2640kbps, while the XviD was at 608x444 and 1600kbps. I'd actually choose the XviD as they were a bit smoother, and not so pixelated with movement.
As mentioned, there are extras galore to check out which I won't even get into much here. One thing that was missing for me was some model info, which seemed to be absent. If they shoot a girl more than once, I also wouldn't mind having some links to her other sets available.
Overall, a pretty nice site for the price if you're into this type of content. While it's pretty much done as expected without many innovations, the content is good, the updates are good, and the price is pretty good as well. Another good choice for glamour/artsy photos for sure.
