Shemale Pornstar calls itself "a true shemale/transsexual megasite" with a little something for everyone, from "the most popular XXX Shemale pornstars, to street Transsexual tramps." Susanna is our hostess, a 30+ transgender who enjoys her dick but is in the process of getting her titties enlarged up to a D cup. The tour has a typical mega-site look to it, it's only once you're inside that Susanna shares her dirty private thoughts with you. However, the site still retains a multi-girl focus with Susanna working primarily behind the camera and keyboard.
The site has somewhere in the neighborhood of 18,000 photos, all of which are exclusive to the site. There's not much in the way of actual browse options, except they do separate the content by photographer and roughly half of the shoots are done by Susanna and half are done by other photographers. I'd definitely like to see more organization of the content. Categories, in particular, would be helpful. You've got solo sets, next to shemale-shemale sets, next to shemale-male sets, and then you'll come across a foot or bondage fetish set next. There's no model index either which is something I would have liked to see. Anyhow, new sets are added twice a month which is a tad slow, but at least updates include six new galleries a piece. In terms of quality, the pics look good. They're pretty clear and could only be improved by being bigger (these average 400x600) and maybe fixing a few funny lighting/shadow issues.
You'll also find over 180 exclusive videos, as well. Each video is offered in high and low quality Real Player along with a Quicktime version. Most are around 300k and they look good enough. At first, it appears that the videos are streaming in browser only but if you click the low quality Real link you'll find a link to download the high quality Real clip. Not exactly a genius set-up but at least you can download the clips. I thought, for the most part, the videos were entertaining and good looking. Again, a little more organization would be nice since it is a good sized collection, but I liked what I saw.
There's also a bit of bonus content available to members. There are 20 or so original stories, a listing of transgender-friendly clubs, third party video feeds (both shemale and mainstream), and a message board (though it is rather inactive). Not a bad collection of extras, especially the club guide and exclusive stories.
Shemale Pornstar is a good site but I don't think it's living up to its potential. They've got a large collection of exclusive photos but they're poorly organized. The images and videos look like they were shot with some care, but the pics are just a bit too small. Updates are large, but a bit infrequent. The basis for a strong site is there but it just needs a few tweaks. $25 a month is pretty reasonable for this kind of original content so I'd call it worth a look for tranny-lovers, I just hope some subtle improvements are made to really maximize what they've got.
