Skin VIP is a network of 13 sites filled to the brim with blowjobs, handjobs, feet, Latinas, anal, interracial, and even shemales. This is a hardcore network with an amateur spin. We've already reviewed a few of their sites individually, Tony's Casting Couch, Angels of Porn, Stroke Jobs, etc, and all were quite entertaining. Their specialty is movies, they don't mess around with too many photos. Instead, they jump head-first straight into the action.
The Goods -
All of the sites offer exclusive and original videos. For some of the sites, that's the very emphasis of the action. Take Tony's Casting Couch, for example. Tony seeks out fresh amateur faces for a fucking on his couch. You definitely won't find these scenes elsewhere.
There's some really nice quality material to be found. Many of the newest scenes play at anywhere from 1000k to 1500k. This is some stunningly sharp video, particularly considering the amateur nature of it all. I love how they can keep that homegrown feeling but offer in high quality scenes.
Taken as a whole, there is really a lot to see here. The tour promises hundreds of hours of movies and I'd say that's accurate. Tony's Casting Couch alone has over 200 scenes and Angels of Porn has over a hundred. Some of the sites are smaller (see below) but overall this is a great sized collection.
The Bads -
Not all of the sites are updated regularly. Even some of their better sites like Angels of Porn and BJ POV haven't seen anything new in almost a month. Some of the other sites simply don't have any update dates available so who knows how often new material is added there. I'd like to see more consistant updates throughout the network, along with a single page that lists the update dates for all included sites.
Some of the sites are pretty small. Shemale Pickup and Butt Bangin have just 10 episodes each. Bangin Blacks has just 6! None of these small sites provide any update data so I can't tell if they're new or just neglected.
I'd like to see a few small changes made that would help surfers navigate the network. As I already mentioned, a comprehensive list of updates would be very helpful. It would also be nice if they listed all 13 of the sites on the main member's index page. Right now only 9 are listed.
Conclusion -
Skin VIP is a good join for fans of hardcore amateur videos and the collection has the potential to be great. They've got some very entertaining sites and I loved the high quality original content. The biggest problem is the lack of updates. If they could get that in gear, the other issue of small sites would be resolved. The lack of updates also hurts their credibility. It's hard to take a site seriously if it doesn't make time for its members. For $25 a month, I would certainly say Skin VIP is worth a look. I just hope at our next visit there is more going on.
