Skin VIP gives surfers a mixed bag of sites. TBP has conducted full reviews on more than a few in this group and from my perspective the foundation of the network are Tony's Casting Couch and Angels of Porn. Those two sites are grounded in the hardcore, amateur, and teen niches. Beyond that the collection has smaller sites that reach to a number of other niches like blowjob, anal, interracial, latina, handjob, and a couple others.
The Goods:
- Original Video Content. Just about all the sites in the network have exclusive content and it's mostly video shoots. Adding up all the vids and there would be many hundreds of movies for members. Typically they provide WMV and MPEG files with some sites having full-movie files available as well as the standard clips.
- Interesting Blend of Sites. I sort of alluded to this in my opening. The niches touched on can be a bit unique with a handjob site, POV BJ site, and even a solo girl Nikky Blond mixed in. With the two strong sites Tony's and Angels of Porn along with the supporting sites the network does indeed have its own personality that's a bit different from other networks that can sometimes seem repetitive.
The Bads:
- Incomplete Network Hub. The member's hub page that is available links to most of the important sites but doesn't have a full list of all sites. The individual sites themselves have links to the others, I just wish there was a more organized hub available immediately after logging in.
- A Few Small Sites. Some networks are well balanced with roughly the same number of episodes in each niche. Skin VIP is the opposite with some sites having large collections and others having a tiny number of movies. It'd be nice to see more consistency.
Conclusion:
Overall Skin VIP is a good network with some fun hardcore sites. I know this network kind of evolved over the years from a few of the flagship sites and that's still pretty obvious. What I'd like to see is a more user-friendly structure that would make things feel more like a cohesive network.
