Michelle Thorne XXXposed

I have nothing against a minimalistic style of design, particularly if a site is still new and not sporting a mega-site-sized archive. However, I think they could have done with a tad bit more in terms of browse-tools, and if they continue to add new updates, this will be absolutely necessary.

No search engine or model info I can handle, but I can't say I feel all that comfortable with not knowing how often they update. On the tour page there were timestamps, and from the brief sample it looked like the trend was weekly updates. Once inside the members area, though, the timestamps had vanished. Maybe the markings on the tour were accurate and I needn't worry, but if that's the case, why remove them from the pay area? It makes no sense.

To be fair, the updates they do have are the real deal, and they also vary wildly in action, which is crucial for the survival of a single-model site. I counted 88 videos and 83 photo sets. And as far as kinks go, well, I didn't even bother there. But just to give you an idea, there's plenty of role-playing, e.g., secretaries and naughty students. There's also plenty of lesbian scenes with menacing looking babes sporting lots of ink and piercings, making for a great contrast with a classic beauty like Michelle.

The guy-on-girl action was rough and nasty and usually ended in a gooey money-shot. Want some fetish action, you say? Well, I just got done watching Michelle alternate between smoking a cigarette and sucking a dick. She's not shy about using her feet to pleasure her partners, either.

Scenes can be streamed or downloaded in 720p HD, or, if you want your porn to-go, in a nifty mobile format. Running times vary between 7 and 45 minutes, though a good average would be 15. Streaming went smoothly and downloads were fast, clocking in on-average at 1.2 megs-per-second.

The HD video looked fantastic. But I don't think it was just a matter of play-back quality. How the scenes were shot played a big role, too. I don't know if it's the lighting, lens filters or what, but the puppies have absolutely brilliant colors. Whatever technique they're using is accentuated by a generous usage of lush outdoor scenery.

Watching some of the lighter stuff, I couldn't help but be reminded me a lot of that early '90s smut that I just adore. Likewise, the action was pretty much what you'd expect from your standard old-school hardcore. Nothing too outlandish or creative, but very solid and hot.

I don't know that the galleries were up to par with the videos in terms of raw image quality, but they were damn solid, nonetheless. The average set count is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-120, and you can view them on-site via slideshow in a so-so 800 x 450 pixel resolution. But if you download the ZIP file you'll get gorgeous 1067 x 1600 JPEGs.

There aren't really any bonus sites yet at Michelle Thorne XXXposed, but Michelle does kick in a bonus video every now and again. The running times are usually on the longer side, too, which is always fine by me.
