I really need to get caught up on my pornstar IQ. I think pretty much any famous porn actress could walk by me on the street and I wouldn't know the difference. Or I could be reviewing a famous girl's site and not know it until too late. Thankfully, Sandee Westgate let me know right away that she'd been in Playboy and stuff - so I didn't make myself look like an idiot and call her an amateur.
Checking out her tour, a popup came up saying that she was live on her cam right then. They even had the cam right there, sure enough with her in a bikini begging me to come into the member's area (no audio, but you could tell by her movements). I logged in ASAP and went straight to her live cam section, where sure enough she was on cam, but it was not the same image I saw before. The popup clearly said "live now" which I guess is technically true, but that was not a live cam they were showing - I think that's a bit over the line.
Anyhow, $25 will get you in the door, which is a little more than most solo model sites charge. The member's area has a slightly classy look to it, with airbrushed images of Sandee being the main focus. Annoyingly enough, they also have little popups in here as you browse around (on the main member's page at least) promoting a video or something.
She divides her photo galleries up into a few sections which aren't very intuitive the first time you see them. It also adds a few extra clicks to get to some actual pictures. Actually it looks like the main and VIP galleries are the same thing, weird. Once you get to the pictures, you're looking at some nice, high-quality stuff. I think there's a little airbrushing, but it's not as bad as the site graphics are. Normal photo size is 900x600, not too bad. She has a lot of glamour-type photosets, so don't expect normal amateur stuff here. She also has some girlfriends galleries listed, in case you're looking for other similar content.
Videos come from a variety of places (it looks like she shoots for some famous people as well, as she should), but the recent ones come in Windows Media format. Specs vary a little bit, but are generally 320x240 and 350-400kbps. Unfortunately they didn't look as good as the pictures, with some artifacts on the picture and even some frame-rate issues at times. I would recommend against full-screen viewing for sure. She still looks hot in them, but there's a lot of non-nude posing going on - very magazine-video-like overall. The older ones are in Quicktime format and play in your browser, and they also take a while to load (keep waiting!).
She obviously has live cams on a lot of the time, although of course she's not always there. She also does cam shows a la ACH and Camz, although her upcoming show is cancelled (not sure how often that happens). She has a journal, but besides two updates this month, her last ones were back three months ago. She seems to get to it 1-2 times a month at best. Updates come every day or two, but it's not always a new photo or video set (it could just be a new journal entry). New stuff from Sandee seems to be a once-a-week thing. The site is decent all around, but it has the feeling that it's a model's site (which it is) more than an amateur site (which it never claimed to be - I just associate single model sites with them). If you're a fan of hers, or just like glammed up softcore shots, it's probably worth a look.

Well things look pretty good around here actually. A lot of times the pornstar sites can be abandoned and left to rot, but Sandee's site is still updating quite nicely it seems. Interaction is still doing well too with the cams and all. I don't think quality has been bumped at all, which is definitely needed these days. But overall, I'm glad to see her site still active and Sandee herself keeping up her end of the bargain!
Score decreased from 79.9 to 79.8.
