Today we get to take a look at RonisParadise.com, which is an amateur site run by a 50-something-Catholic-schoolgirl-turned-MILF named Roni! She evidently lives in Hawaii, which is where the paradise aspect of the site comes into play. She does most of the normal stuff you'd expect from an amateur site, and has a slight extra focus on garters, feet, pantyhose, and other things of that nature. For $19, you can get inside and take a look yourself.
Her tour looks pretty nice, with a burgundy, gold, and sepia theme throughout. However once you get inside the member's area, it looks totally different :( Here we get a black background with white and blue text - kinda boring! I'm not sure what the deal is what such different looks, but I did prefer the tour by far.
Her galleries are only broken down chronologically, but it does help the browsing somewhat. The galleries are displayed in the standard, simple manner, which makes finding something relatively simple. The only thing really missing is the actual date the gallery went up, but you can check out her main page with her updates if you really need to know.
The pictures looked surprisingly good! Amateur sites usually suffer from a lack of decent lighting in the photography, but that's definitely not the case here. Her pictures are 800x600, which is pretty standard these days, but the look much more bright, colorful, and clear than most amateur's pictures do. Plus, she's been putting up galleries since 2001, so they've added up over time. The older pictures look just as good as the newer ones, although she only upgraded to the 800x600 pics about 1/3 of the way through 2003. Before that, they were 640x480 and haven't been upgraded. There's a good mix of softcore, girl/girl, and hardcore photosets around, and she appears to swing with various men. Maybe you're her next victim?? :)
Her videos look just as good, if not better, than the pictures do. The newer ones are in Windows Media format and range from 500-700kbps in the scenes I watched. They look very nice - clear, crisp, and colorful. The older ones look older, but what can you do about that. They're in MPG format, and look good but not great. The other thing missing back then was thumbnail previews, which is a shame. The videos are usually broken into pretty small clips, but that makes for easier downloading with the high-quality video sizes. Again, a good mix of action, so there's something everyone should like here.
Her tour said something about being on two cam networks, but I only found one in her member's area. Still, in addition to those cam shows, she sometimes records them and puts them up as extra video clips in case you missed them. She also has some galleries from other girls available, a message board, some wallpapers, a store, and some plugins.
At $19 a month, she's again right where she should be in the amateur market. While the site doesn't look too great in my opinion, the quality of the content is definitely above the norm. Since she's a little older, and it's something I mention as a good idea for any amateur site you might wanna join, check out a few pictures of the model to make sure she gets the old johnson rod up and running. The only real thing I'd like to see is the member's area and free area match more (and go with the tour's design as it's nicer!), and obviously more content (especially more videos) which will come in time! Otherwise, she's doing well, and I enjoyed the content. Good job!

Wow, my two cons from the initial review have been (at least sort of) taken care of! The member's area seems to have a new look, and it goes along much better with the tour then the old one did it sounds like. There's also more videos than last time (almost 50 now). The pictures look as good as ever, much better than you'd expect on a solo-girl site, though the videos could use a quality upgrade in my opinion compared to others I'm used to seeing now. Updates come often, which has helped the site grow a bit since we've been here last. The only other thing I'd like to see added is a diary or journal of some sort, but otherwise you get a good bang for your buck here!
Score increased from 79.8 to 81.0.

It's been a long time, but we're back today taking a third look here at Roni's Paradise. Her site has been kept up quite well with some good growth, and consistent attention in the form of extras and interaction. Quality is up a bit, but so is price to $25 a month from what I see. Otherwise, she seems to run a pretty nice site overall, and it has grown and matured quite well from our last look.
Score increased from 81.0 to 81.5.
