Apparently fetish sites are on the menu this week! For today, we get to take a look at Rubber Doll's site. It's basically an amateur site, with a bit of fetish mixed in. At its core though, the site is all about our hostess and her kinky fantasies.
The basic look of the site I guess is pretty standard fetish fare, with the black background and purple and red highlights. The member's area looks much the same as the free area, so you can get a good idea what to expect by taking the tour. Her updates come once a week, with a new photo and video set. Most amateurs don't have a new video each week, but otherwise this is pretty standard for the type of site we're on. I wouldn't mind seeing more updates in general from amateurs, but why the hell would they listen to me?
Her photo galleries layout is pretty normal, though a little amateur looking. I'm not sure why the actual thumbnails aren't clickable, it wouldn't take that much work on their part and it'd make it a lot easier for me. Regardless, you'll have to click the title to see the goods. The photos themselves look pretty good, especially compared to other similar sites. It looks like they try hard to make them look good, but they still just have a bit to learn. This does lead to some nice looking pictures though, and the more recent sets contain pics that are 800x600 which is good enough for me. They've upgraded to larger pictures over time, so hopefully they will again in the near future (or even put up dual pic sizes?). The clothing and makeup she wears is pretty extravagant, so I'm sure each set takes a while to setup for. The lighting is also interesting at times, with some harsh highlights and shadows adding to the general feel of the pics.
The videos, unfortunately, don't look very good. There's an okay amount of them, but a lot of those look pretty similar overall (well, at least in similar locations). That wouldn't be too bad, but once you view them the quality isn't the best. They are all in Windows Media format, encoded around 220kbps. They look fine at normal size, but anything larger and it gets too pixelated. The sound isn't any better either. The one good thing is seeing Rubber Doll herself in motion, as she's definitely a hottie.
She's also part of the CamZ network, and all that goes with it. This brings you one live show a week from Rubber Doll, and shows from a bunch of other chicks as well. She also archives her shows on there, so you can find quite a few short clips that really help boost her numbers up. There's also a lot of links to private shows with her, as well as phone calls. They get in the way a bit, but I guess a girl's gotta make some money somehow.
At $20, it fits right into the basic amateur pricing. I think everything about this site screams amateur; it'd almost work as a turnkey site. The only thing really missing is interaction with our lady of the hour. There's no message board or diary or anything, I guess the only way to get more personal is to pony up more cash for a private encounter. Thankfully she has herself a niche, as it'll help her succeed a bit. Overall, there's nothing too wrong here, but nothing really excited me either.

Review: 02-10-05 |
Although it may seem like much is the same around here, there are a lot of mini upgrades that are welcome. It's almost as if she read my review last time, since a lot of the little problems have been taken care of. First, the thumbnails are now clickable while browsing galleries! Second, pictures are larger at 1000x750 and still look pretty good. Third, video specs have been upgraded to about 350kbps. The upgrade is nice, but they still look a bit average to me overall. Fourth, she has a journal up. Either I didn't see it before, or it's new, but it's also a welcome addition. She updates it about once a week, though there are some long pauses as well (two months) that she swears she's done with.
The rest is much the same. I definitely like the changes and additions, and it brings it up quite a bit in value for me. Nice job! In the future, the main thing I'd like to see now is some overall growth.
Score increased from 75.4 to 77.5.
