| | | | Can I find what I'm looking for? |
| Where to begin... they're basically using the same old layout that I remember, which uses a small calendar in the left-column menu to navigate back and forth through the updates. This is great if you're just cruising from one to the next, but not very user-friendly if you're trying to find that one special video you remember from months ago. They *have* added links to pages which contain all the videos on one page, which is handy, but the photos are still buried in the calendar. Although, I'm told a new members area redesign is already complete, it's just taking a good long while to get it live. I can only imagine how much better it will be :) Anyway... The content loads up in the right side of your browser. Back in the left column, there's a number of menu items below the calendar like: Live Cams, Movie Listings, Forum, Girlfriends, Wallpapers, Dictionary (so you can learn a little Russian!), Bonus Sites and Support Links. That's that. |

| | | | Uh... Did you take the lenscap off? |
| Well, the photos (once you find them) are top notch stuff, most of the recent sets running 1200ish pixels on the long side (pretty large) and exceptional clarity and quality and usually run well over 100 per set. Unfortunately, due to the design elements discussed earlier, you couldn't pay me enough to go counting how many sets there are total. LOL |

| | | | Smokin hot or Downright fUgly? |
| Our primary honey, obviously, is Masha. She's joined by a bunch of friends including her boyfriend Andrew and a ton of hot girlfriends. Masha is a very petite gal, and while I'm sure she's been on the net long enough to not be classified in the "teen" category anymore, she doesn't look like she ages much at all. Probably the most enticing for me are those nipples. OH MY GOD. (see samples) |
|
| | | | Format & Quality |
OK, here we hit Issue #1 (which segues into Issue #2). Here's the issue. We're promised High Definition Quality Videos. We get... a couple. Granted that'll grow over time, but I was a little sad to see only a few in that awesome quality. Furthermore, related to Issue #2 found in Updates section of the review, none of these HiDef videos are actually even Masha videos.
That notwithstanding, again there's an awesome variety in the videos. The newer ones are WMV, older ones are GIGANTIC MPEGs which take me ages to download (and I'm on a Business Class broadband connection testing at upwards of 3Mbps). Translation: If you're on dial-up, you'd better start downloading a couple, go to bed and check back in tomorrow (haha I used to do that when I had dialup!). The videos are broken into smaller clips, but they're still really large in file size, and no "lower quality" version for dialup users is offered. I'm not about to count up all of these either, be satisfied with "too many to count". :) |

| | | | 80's porn is GONE! |
As stated before, there's a wide variety of subject matter happening here. Some of the shoots are pretty artsy, with dubbed euro music (I'd rather hear Masha moan while she rubs herself off...), others are actually pretty interesting non-porn cultural Russian videos. For a yankee who was lucky enough to get as far out of the country as Canada, that's pretty interesting stuff. She could teach me about the anatomy of a monkey and I'd listen, provided Masha was doing the teaching naked.
Back in PornLand, they really get around. Indoors, outdoors, on boats, on beaches, in the woods, in a car, she's screwed damn near everywhere (except my bed)... |
|
| | | | It's all about fresh content baby! |
| So, Issue #2. We weren't given a clear indication in the tour how often updates happen - they USED to be daily, but have since dropped to 3 times each week: M W F. Great, that's not the issue. From the best digging I can do, I'm seeing the last addition that actually had anything to do with Masha herself was in March 06 (look at the tray, it's August in 2 days). What's up with that? I cruised the forum, and other areas looking for a "Here's why Masha is MIA" but I just couldn't find anything. |

| | | | Freebies, Plugins, Etc. |
| When you make it to the join page, you're told we're also getting access to Teen Handjobs, I Fuck Them, Group Sex Virgins and Your Porn. A recent addition to this list is Kamilla18, which is a relatively new site, however when you get to the members area and click "BONUS SITES", you're given cross-links to all those sites EXCEPT Kamilla's. Just a little programmer/designer asleep on the job, not a big deal, but I'll probably mention it to them tomorrow. More importantly, the sites we get bonus access to are certainly worth checking out (reports coming soon). |

| | | | There's no such thing as a free ride! |
CCBill is the primary processor here, so that's trustworthy. What diminishes my trust is that there is not up-front full disclosure on the pricing. You've got to make up a username and slap in your email addy and zip code, then choose between "Subscription, Non-Recurring Membership or $69 for 90 days". Lucky for you, you won't have to play that guessing game because we'll give you the details right here:
- $28.99 for 30 days recurring at 24.99 each month after
- $39.88 for 31 days non-recurring
- $69 for 90 days (Non-Recurring)
Now you know going in :) |

| PROS | CONS |
- Masha is hot, probably one of my top 5 favorite web girls of all time
- TONS of content archived from the past couple of years, and in great quality and variety
- Live cam shows free to members and the message board are obvious plusses
|
- Members area hard to navigate, although we're told the new members area design is completed, just taking awhile to get live
HiDef Videos promised in tour aren't actually Masha's videos (yet anyway)
- Masha seems to have gone missing since March, but updates of her girlfriends continue on schedule
- Full pricing not disclosed before entering any personal information

| | | | Final Thoughts & Summary |
I'm bittersweet right now. I really want to love this site as the best site ever, and if Masha suddenly reappears in Red Square tomorrow and starts updating again, I can probably forgive all else. The point is, the site is built as HER site, with girlfriends as an added value, which means I joined to see HER body and want regular updates of HER. /rant
The gobs of archive content -- well worth joining for. My suggestion, especially if you're on a slow connection, save yourself the $18 bucks and do the $69 for 90 days option. At the very least, this should give you plenty of time to work your way back through the archives AND stay on top of updates as they come up. |
