Rascal Dog

Upon entering my login credentials, I was immediately redirected to a page that impressed me on several levels. First off, it looks quite good. I really dig the black and red colors, as well as the paw prints they've incorporated in the background and on the menus. This not only looks cool, but it's very easy on the eyes when you're browsing in the dark. At the top of the page, just below a banner with a sultry big breasted hottie, you'll find your main menu: Home, Photos, Videos, Models, Support, Account. You know, all the basics. Directly below you'll notice that content can also be browsed by 7 separate niches: Glamour, Erotic, Explicit, Toy Stills, Masturbation, GirlGirl, and Anal. There's also a search engine which is, in my opinion, less than impressive. You're basically reduced to searching by title or model name. This is nice and all, but they could've went much further with it.

The left-hand side of the page contains a lovely model index, where the girls can be listed by anything from posing-style to ethnicity. The rest of the sidebar is filled with links to upcoming scenes, upcoming scenes, and various links to special discounts for other semi-related sites. The "Actions!" menu is quite nice, but a few of the options are a redundant, i.e., the 'Highest Rated Models.' All in all, though, these make finding suitable material a fairly easy task, and perhaps makeup for the less than stellar search engine.

The first thing that really jumped out at me as I was browsing the archives was the fact that there is zero in the way of male presence going on here. Even in the anal category, which currently has only 2 videos, it's simply a girl rubbing her clit whilst violating her own anus with a pink dildo. Personally, this isn't a big deal to me, and the abundance of steamy girl-on-girl scenes more than make up for it. But I reailze many of you want to see massive dicks plowing these beauties, so I felt it only fair to inform you that's not what this is all about. The other thing that really caught my eye was their update schedule. The site started in July of 2008, and since that time — if you include both video and picture updates — they've managed a schedule that releases several updates every other day. These updates are, admittedly, heavier on the picture side of the equation, but it's still quite impressive, nonetheless.

Rascal Dog's roster is impressive as hell. As I write this, there are 178 glamorous looking ladies ready for action. And though all of the ladies share a classy look, there's plenty of variety to be had. For instance, ethnicities range widely. I'd say the majority of these babes are of Asian and Europian descent, but I saw some amazing looking sistas and latinos, too. They've also got some notable porn stars, but with a list this massive, don't expect to recognize all of them. The only thing I see a real lack of would be the pierced and tattooed variety, but I don't think that's why these cats were going for, anyway. To be honest, I wish they had incorporated more information about the girls. As is, clicking a thumbnail only takes you to the content she's been a part of. The addition of a bio and vital statistics would add a much needed personal touch. Overall, however, I'm extremely happy with how things are.

So far there are 167 videos available, and they can be downloaded in either the Quicktime or Windows Media formats. Both are HD quality with stellar play-back. They don't really have anything in the way of multi-bandwidth options, but if you have a slow connection, there's nothing to worry about. You can always download the videos in a series of 1-2 minute clips instead of the longer, full-length versions. Streaming video is also available, via a nicely sized embedded flash-player. And in an effort to help the less PC savvy, they've even included links for the appropriate plugins. Download speeds were excellent across-the-board. The embedded video player loads scenes quickly with zero buffering hiccups, and direct downloads came in at a lightning fast 900 kilobytes-per-second.

The scenes themselves are very erotic, just as advertised. They're also expertly shot and edited. The handheld camera-work was superb, always zooming in at just the right time, giving us a perfect view of the girl's most intimate of intimates. I was highly impressed, too, with the sets they've managed to get their hands on. Most scenes take place in luxurious looking locations — one might be in a multi-million dollar villa and the next poolside at a 5-star resort. Combine this with the fancy clothing and negligees these hotties often wear and you've got the epitome of classiness.

The only thing I really disliked, other than the fact that many of the scenes were quite short, was that they incorporate a lot of music in a very unorthodox way. Let me explain that. Usually the beginning of a scene starts out with the babe talking dirty to the camera for a bit, doing her best to tease you and get you ready for what's to come. This is often followed by the addition of some sexy music and an erotic dance. Sometimes the music will stop out of no where, and the gal will go back to talking. Other scenes have the music from beginning to end. This isn't that big of a deal, but I bring it up because I know some of you really aren't into the combination of music and porn. I have to admit, though, that it works quite well here, as most of the material leans toward the softcore side.

The photo section of the site is highly customizable. You can manipulate the size of any image ... even the thumbnails! And they've incorporated a nice java slide show option, with optional 3, 5, 7, and 10 second intervals. The large images look absoltuely gorgeous, with an average width in excess of 1,200 pixels. Also, they have a five-star user-rating system and the option to download full galleries compressed in a ZIP file.Sufficed to say, these pictures look amazing. I suppose that shouldn't come as any big surprise, though, as they seem to be the mainstay of the site.
