Hazel Tucker – The All-American Shemale Next Door!
Featured In This Review (Hazel Tucker and Cassie)
INTRODUCTION
Fans of Shemale Superstar Hazel Tucker will be rejoicing now that the Official Solo Site of Hazel Tucker has launched. If you’re not familiar with Hazel Tucker, crawl out from your cave and let’s take a short review. Hazel Tucker made the Shemale Porn Industry sit up and take notice with her debut on Shemale Yum in July of 2008. Shortly thereafter, Hazel Tucker captured the “Best New Face of 2008″ award at the inaugural Tranny Awards and pretty much the rest is history! Ever since her very first photo gallery hit the Internet, Fans of this ‘Girl Next Door’ beauty have been clamoring for her to launch a solo site and now their dreams have come true.
Hazel Tucker has rubbed shoulders with some pretty big names in the Industry, including Kimber James, TS Jesse, and Kelly Shore. She was first photographed by famed West Coast TS photographer, Buddy Wood, and he’s been shooting her ever since. I’ve had my eye on Hazel Tucker for some time now and I really like this girl… not in a lustful weird sort of way, but because by all appearances, she seems like a very down-to-earth, no drama, type of girl. Which, given the cattiness and drama surrounding some Shemale Pornstars of her ilk, is a pretty cool thing. That being said, let’s take a closer look at her site and see if it’s as good as she looks!
SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
For patrons of other websites run by Grooby Productions, the look and feel of Hazel Tucker’s site will be pretty familiar so I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this section. Her site is actually the first Solo Shemale site that they have thrown their considerable mass behind and it shows that this relatively new Shemale Pornstar has their full support. The site is done in in pleasing shades of deep pinks which is very easy on the eyes. As you expect from a Grooby site, Hazel Tucker is well designed and navigation is easy to find and follow. Things I noticed right away after the obligatory Adult Warning page (besides the site of Hazel with a mini-baseball bat stuffed up her ass) is a hand-written welcome to the site by Hazel herself, a great little Twitter widget with her latest feeds, and another little widget where you can listen to some tunes that Hazel has listened to recently. The Tour features some great Flash video clips as well as teaser pictures to get you in the mood for more. Speaking of which…
MEMBERS AREA
The first thing that you should do upon becoming a Member of Hazel Tucker is to take a time to read the ‘Notepad.’ It contains some great little bits about the site itself and a good read is the first entry (dated July 6, 2009) which gives some insight into the origins of Hazel Tucker. I found it to be pretty interesting, written by Steven, the owner of Grooby Productions. Here’s a little excerpt:
I’ve been running transsexual websites for over 12 years and always stayed away from doing solo girls site…I had absolutely no interest in making a solo Tgirl site that looked and performed like the many dull and droll, solo Shemale websites that you may have seen. I wanted life, day to day, sex, creativity, zest, excitement… I first encountered Hazel Tucker when she wrote to me asking to model for the site. I knew we were onto something special and when her and Buddy arranged for her to shoot out in LA, I had faith in the fact we were going to get some killer material… what I wasn’t ready for, was the Hazel Tucker experience…
This is very well said and quite the honest truth. There are many Shemale stars out there who have the potential to be Superstars but few have the will to put the effort in and make their dreams come true. Although Hazel Tucker has certainly had some help along the way, she has done an excellent job of maintaining friendships, controlling the sites she shoots for, and just generally being a good business woman. And, although Grooby owns and operates the Hazel Tucker Site, the content, including shoot ideas, come from Hazel herself along with Buddy Wood. With Buddy’s unquestionable eye for great photography and Hazel’s remarkable looks and performances as a Shemale Pornstar, Members will be treated to the ‘Hazel Tucker experience’ and not just one more ‘dull and droll’ solo Shemale site.
PHOTO CONTENT
Photo galleries on Hazel Tucker are split into two different categories, Solo Sets and Hardcore Sets, which are pretty self-explanatory. Frequent browsers will want to spend careful attention to the titles given to the sets as that is the main search component although at the time being, browsing content is manageable through the thumbnails. However, since the site is updated weekly, pretty soon you’ll be wanting to add your favorite Hazel galleries to Your Portfolio for easy viewing and you’ll need the title.
As I mentioned earlier, much of the photography for Hazel Tucker is shot by Buddy Wood, although there are some shoots from Frank’s Tgirl World and Shemale Yum (also shot by Buddy) as well. I really like that Hazel Tucker stays with the Grooby Productions philosophy of shooting models and letting their natural beauty do the talking. That is to say, it appears there is very little post-picture editing going on here… what you see is what Hazel was looking like that day… not her airbrushed and edited to death. Pictures are clear, colorful, interesting, and of course, Hazel looks amazing. Members at Frank’s Tgirl World or Shemale Yum will notice that a few of the galleries are from those sites respectively but there are PLENTY of exclusive, new galleries to make Membership to Hazel Tucker worth the signup fee, and, with new content added every week… well, you get the idea.
VIDEO CONTENT
Well, let’s be honest here… Most persons join Solo Shemale Sites largely because they want to see some hot solo scenes and hardcore videos featuring their favorite Shemale model. I don’t think Hazel Tucker is any exception to that rule so it’s a good thing that the site delivers some of the best, exclusive Hazel Tucker videos around! I mentioned earlier that Hazel is pretty involved creatively with her content and there are some really great videos on the site. The content is varied with some amazing solo videos as well as a mixture of great hardcore videos. Watch Hazel give the blowjob of a lifetime in great POV action, play with genetic girl, Cassie, and have some costume play dressed in a sexy baseball uniform! Coming soon… Hazel Tucker and Amy Daly and lots more!
I think that videos is really a good example of how being backed by a larger company like Grooby can really be beneficial. Videos are edited well and presented in two different sizes, a regular quality WMV (320px) and a high quality WMV (640px). The site is fast and I was able to download files at an average rate of about 300kbps. I did review the site while it was fairly new so it’s possible that with more Members you may experience some slightly slower times but I would doubt it. Grooby is pretty good about download speeds. Anyway, the point being, on Hazel Tucker, you’re sure to get your fill of exclusive content that you won’t find ANYWHERE else. And, with a video added each and every week, I think Hazel’s going to be one busy girl in her first year!
JOINING HAZEL TUCKER
Fans of Hazel Tucker will be very pleased that her site is not quite expensive to join as the other Grooby Sites (which, for the record, I think are well worth the money). The site is a very reasonable $24.99 / 30 days of access or you can purchase a bulk 3 months for $49.99, which if you ask me, is a no-brainer, assuming you have the extra cash on hand. Membership gets you unlimited entry and downloading of all the tasty treats on Hazel Tucker and is a great value considering the caliber of the site and Shemale Pornstar it features.
CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
Quite honestly, I feel a little badly for the other Shemale Stars out there running and maintaining their own sites. It will be very difficult for any other independent model out there to live up to what I would now consider to be ‘the gold standard’ of Solo Shemale Sites. Hazel Tucker certainly has been blessed with natural beauty, good business sense, and ‘likability,’ but throw in the full support of a titan like Grooby Productions behind her and you’ve got an unbeatable combination for success. It will be interesting to see where the site is one year from now but I’ve got a feeling that Hazel Tucker will be one of the biggest names in the Industry and sitting atop a mountain of Fans and Admirers.
For the other Shemale Stars out there… don’t despair! I think the great thing about a new site like Hazel Tucker is that it really spreads a little bit of a ‘wake-up’ call around about just how good a Solo Site can be. I don’t think they all need to be as beautiful and well maintained as Hazel Tucker is (although that certainly helps) but ALL Solo Site owners should sit up and take notice at the amount of communicating that Hazel does with her Fans and the amount of work she has put in to create amazing and unique content that they will love… over and over again.
Hazel Tucker just might single-handedly cause the Kleenex shortage of 2009 / 2010… my advice is to make sure you have a box in hand before joining the site…
