Amy Daly – The Shemale TransLesbian From LA!
Featured In This Review (in order of appearance)

INTRODUCTION
If you’re not already familiar with Amy Daly, here’s a little bit of background on this beautiful Transsexual Performer. Amy Daly first appeared on the pages of Shemale Yum in December 2008. I don’t think anyone, even Amy herself, would argue that those pictures looked a little bit awkward and you could tell that Amy wasn’t quite comfortable for her first porn shoot. Of course, it’s probably pretty hard to be comfortable in a bright red Shemale Santa outfit! We may never have heard of Amy Daly again were it not for the folks at Grooby Productions, who saw something special in Amy and asked her back for some repeated shoots throughout 2008 and 2009.
As Amy became more and more comfortable in front of the camera, she began to attract a following of Fans and in 2009, she was the recipient of the Grooby New Face Award at the Tranny Awards! Previously awarded to Hazel Tucker, this placed a certain amount of expectations on Amy Daly, and with the launch of Amy Daly – The Shemale TransLesbian Of LA, it’s time to see if she has delivered. And, by the way, if you’re wondering just what the term ‘Shemale TransLesbian’ means, you can ask Amy directly on The Official Amy Daly Forum!
SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
I don’t think there’s really a large need have an in depth discussion about the design and navigation of Amy Daly’s Official Site. Having been built by the creative forces of Grooby Productions, who have plenty of experience in building great sites, I’ll just say that Amy Daly’s site is well designed and easy to navigate. One of the things that is really great about the solo sites that Grooby Productions backs, is that the girls do maintain creative control over the content and design, and it’s fun to see little ‘glimpses’ of Amy throughout the design. I hear she had a pretty large hand in the ‘Amy Daly Logo,’ which I think is totally cute and fits her personality, even down to the famous Amy Daly pose with her hair covering one side of her face.
MEMBERS AREA
Upon entering the Member’s Area of Amy Daly’s Official Site, you’ll be brought to the ‘Notepad’ screen, which as the name suggests, is a place where you can read Amy’s latest thoughts about the site and life in general. Think of it like a blog for Members. It’s always nice, I think, to have a model, especially on a solo site, who interacts with their Members so this is a great feature. There’s some other fun stuff on the sidebar to this page like Amy Daly’s latest tweets, stats, and recently played MySpace tracks.
One of the things you MUST check out is the Whiteboard link. This is the first time I’ve seen this feature on a site before and I have to say, it is a lot of fun! Basically, imagine a dry erase board operated by your mouse and you’ll get the general idea. It’s pretty hard to explain without actually experiencing it but it is definitely one of the coolest features I’ve seen in a while. I probably spent a good 30 or 40 minutes just playing around with this feature, and I bet once Members get a hold of it, this section of Amy Daly’s Site will be crazy with doodles!
The rest of the Member’s Area is fairly straightforward with all the usual sections making appearances: photos, videos, friends, etc. As with the other Grooby sites, as a Member, you can insert your favorite sets and pictures into your ‘Portfolio’ for easy access next time you log-in. Additionally, you can search the site using an extensive and powerful search feature.
PHOTO CONTENT
Hazel Tucker and Amy Daly have both had the good fortune of being able to work with famed photographer Buddy Wood for their sites, and as always with Buddy, the photos on Amy Daly’s Official Site are beautifully shot. Sets are broken out into two sections, Solo Sets and Hardcore Sets, making it pretty easy to guess what kinds of pictures you’ll find in these sections. As is to be expected, Amy Daly’s Site features some really great EXCLUSIVE content shot specifically by Amy for her site. You can view pictures via thumbnails or download the entire set as a ZIP file. As I mentioned earlier, Amy maintains creative control over the content so all the pictures on the site are passed through her hands on the way to becoming ‘live’.
One of the great things is that you can check out the ‘classic’ Amy Daly sets from her first shoots on Shemale Yum in addition to the exclusive new content… although, that first Christmas shoot is noticeably absent. Perhaps we’ll see it reemerge later this year, although I would guess that set is probably only to be found on Shemale Yum from now on. You know, honestly, there’s really not much more to be said here… the pictures are great, Amy Daly herself is beautiful, and over time, Members can look forward to more Amy Daly pictures every week!
VIDEO CONTENT
OK… I suppose this is the section that people are going to be most concerned about… funny how that goes. Anyway, like the Photo Content, videos on Amy Daly’s Site are broken into Solo Sets and Hardcore Sets. All videos are rendered in WMV files and are available as a streaming option. Additionally, you can download the WMV file as a Medium Quality file or a High Quality file. Download speeds were pretty good, averaging out around 350KB/sec. Medium Quality files are 360×240 and High Quality files are 720×480.
I would guess that one of the most frequent questions that Amy Daly will be asked, is about hardcore videos. I know that Amy has done a hardcore scene with a guy before (this scene IS available to Members) but to my knowledge, that one scene is the only guy/girl scene that Amy Daly has ever done. Therefore, the hardcore content on Amy Daly features other Transsexual Performers such as Mandy Mitchell, Juliette Stray, and Bee Armitage. Luckily for Fans of Amy Daly, there are so many great Shemale Pornstars for Amy Daly to work with in the future so there should be plenty of hardcore content making it onto the site soon. Solo scenes, are of course, a little easier to come by, and with a new video being added every week, Members should have plenty of content to keep themselves busy!

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
Amy Daly is certainly one of the names that is currently making headlines in the world of Shemale Porn today. What I really enjoy about Amy is that she has a true, down-to-earth mentality, which translates well into that ‘girl next door’ feel. Although that title has been official captured by her label-mate and friend, Hazel Tucker, fans of that particular look will really dig Amy Daly’s Official Site.
Honestly, I think the world has yet to see Amy Daly’s best work as a Transsexual Performer… which is not to say that she hasn’t already done some fantastic work, but, Amy is young and has a whole life ahead of her. The true gold in Amy Daly’s work thus far is that she has remained true to who she is throughout a journey that can corrupt the mind, body, and soul. I think her site will serve as an excellent platform for Amy to show the world that porn can be about so much more than showing skin. Hazel and Amy both are leaders in a new turn coming to Transsexual porn that features girls with equal amounts of brains and beauty. While the world will always (including me) get all excited about the blond bombshell; after the music fades, it is good to know that there are intelligent girls in the Industry who can discuss things besides their latest cup of coffee.
My bottom line… Amy Daly will appeal to you if you enjoy girls with substance. I have a feeling that Amy will be one of the most ‘interactive’ girls with her Fans and Members, and in my book, that goes a long way in making a site truly enjoyable. Backed by Grooby, you know the quality is there… with Amy Daly, there’s substance behind the quality.
