So who the hell is ready to see a Shemale Pornstar? I'm looking at it right now actually, and I was thinking this was going to be a single-model site. The tour makes it look like a mega-site though (their tagline is even "A TRUE shemale/transsexual megasite" in case you don't believe me) in case you were wondering. After a very long pause while some images loaded up pretty slowly, I headed to the join page to see the $25 price tag which isn't too bad for this genre actually.
Heading into the member's area, the site is still a bit slow to respond. It seems like once things are loading, it's quick, but actually waiting for an image to start takes a while. I'm guessing this is just a glitch hopefully that you won't even notice. For some reason I went to the updates page first, where I saw that new stuff is put up once every two weeks (which is a bit slow obviously). At least when they do update it's with five photo sets and one video. The updates are not linked to the actual gallery which is a huge pain, but at least they let you know when they are I guess.
Checking out the photos, they seem to break things down by exclusive and non-exclusive content which is nice. Even the non-exclusive section says that are "exclusive, seen here first" but I'm not real sure on that either way. I went to the exclusive section first, and it's a pretty straightforward site in terms of browsing. The content looked okay, except that most of the pictures were in the 600x400 range unfortunately. Colors and quality were okay (except for some harsh shadows at times), but those small pictures really hurt things in today's broadband world. Even the non-exclusive material has been downsized to 600x450 which is just not good. Also missing for me (especially the material she created) was some info on the models, the shoot, etc. From there they could expand to have model's pages linking all their galleries together, and bringing back the favorites as necessary.
The exclusive videos have their own section, while the non-exclusive (or whatever they are) ones are all mixed in with the photos in that section as well which isn't the best setup. All of them come in two Real Video versions, and a Quicktime version as well (all full-scene videos only). They all play in your browser initially (which was a pain for the slow-loading site); there is, however, a download of the high-quality Real Video clip, but it's located on the low-quality Real Video page which is totally ass-backwards if you ask me. That's just a very strange to put the download link. Once they get going, downloads are quick as I expected. 320x240 and 330kbps seem to be the standard stats here (until you get to older videos I think), but the quality just wasn't that good for them unfortunately.
There's a few extras to check out for when you get bored (or already jacked off to the content!). Overall, it's an okay site, but there are some problems for me. There's a decent amount to see, and at least a good bit of it is exclusive. But the slow-responding site, lack of quality, and weird/difficult navigation takes it toll in the end. If they had a site makeover on a quicker server, I think things would look a lot better around here. For now, it's a good start and worthy of a look for sure, but I don't think I'd stick around long personally.
