Ruby’s Diary is the website of redheaded nympho, Ruby. She launched her website in January of 2007 as “the thinking person’s adult site.” She writes that her style falls somewhere between the sinful and the academic, bringing you “the foundations of modern, mainstream adult entertainment without forgetting the elegance of sensuality.” I usually enjoy amateur sites like these, full of personality and run by someone who truly enjoys what she is doing.
The Goods –
All of the content here is exclusive. Though she has done some professional modeling, the content on her site is amateur and original. She’s very involved in creating unique scenes that you won’t find anywhere relse.
Ruby writes in her journal daily. I expected frequent entries, given the name of her site, but to write something every day is very impressive. And the entries are long, too! They’re usually a couple paragraphs long and sometimes include photos. You can definitely get to know Ruby through her writings.
The photo and video quality is very good. The pictures are large at 1280x853 and very sharp and nicely done. Her videos play between 1000k and 2000k and also look crisp and clean.
The Bads –
The site is still pretty small. Right now there are just about 1,000 pictures and 17 videos. Updates are coming once a week on average, so the site is still growing, but it’ll take some time to develop this collection.
The videos play in Quicktime in your browser. There is a downloadable option for your iPod, but no more standard formats like wmvs. You’re basically left with streaming-only video.
Ruby doesn’t do webcam shows which kind of surprised me. Usually models who run diary sites like this thrive on member interaction and webcam shows are almost always included.
Conclusion –
Ruby’s Diary doesn’t come cheap, at $30 a month. However, the daily diary entries and good quality content tempt me to join anyway. The site mostly needs growth right now. More frequent site updates would help. Still, this is an intriguing collection of a very sexy model and it is certainly one to watch.

Review: 05-22-08 |
Since our last visit to Ruby's Diary nine months ago, the site has basically tripled in size. There are now 50 videos and 3,000 pictures. It's still a small site comparatively speaking, but I'm definitely happy with the growth. Site updates still come weekly, with daily journal entries to fill the time in between. I don't think much has changed which is actually just fine. Ruby's site is definitely heading in the right direction. I really enjoy spending time on sites like this with so much personality. I look forward to seeing what Ruby has in store for us at our next visit.
Score increased from 76.0 to 78.0.
