Featured In This Review (Mandy Mitchell, Violet, Cheri)

INTRODUCTION
Today we’re going to take a little stroll through the wild and kinky world of Transsexual Pornstar Mandy Mitchell. Mandy has actually been in the Shemale Porn Industry for quite some time and has shot loads of content for some of the biggest Shemales sites on the planet in addition to having managed her own site for a while. In July of 2009, Mandy moved her site to join the girls of the SMC Network of solo sites and the result was increased exposure (largely as a result of Mandy’s hard work and effort to promote herself) and a thorough reworking of her Official Site’s appearance. This review is of the Official Mandy-Mitchell site.

I’ve actually had the pleasure of speaking with Mandy a few times and let me be the first to say that, in addition to being beautiful, Mandy has an undeniable intellect and a sharp business sense that has taken her from being simply a TS Model, shooting content for other sites, to one of the most recognized names in the niche. Strike one up for ‘T-Girl Power’.

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
If you’ve perhaps been a Member of Mandy’s previous site and found yourself frustrated by some of the design and navigational aspects, you’re not alone. The good news is that Mandy Mitchell’s new Official Site is simple and straightforward yet features some of the cool features available today for webmasters. Interestingly enough, although Mandy-Mitchell is certainly one of the more unique sites on the SMC Network, it has by far the simplest design with not too much ‘flash and dazzle’. So, let me throw this in… don’t be fooled into thinking that Mandy-Mitchell doesn’t deliver on content just because it may lack a nice, bright background and lots of flashing buttons for you to click! If you’ve read some of our other reviews here on Shemale Web Review, you know that I am never one to recommend a site just because it looks pretty and smells nice. In my opinion, Mandy has delivered an excellent site with some truly unique content, so even though the packaging may not be bright and beautiful, it is definitely worth the price of admission.

Navigation through Mandy-Mitchell is pretty straightforward with a red Navigation Bar and drop-down menus providing browsers with easily accessible options to reach the content. I did not encounter any broken links or errors while navigating through the site, which is, in and of itself, and big step in the right direction from Mandy’s previous site.

MEMBERS AREA
In order to leave some more space to discuss the content on Mandy-Mitchell, I’m just going to offer this about the Member’s Area of the site: It’s clean and effective and most persons will not have any problems at all finding their way around and checking out the very unique content to be found there.

PHOTO CONTENT
Picture galleries on Mandy-Mitchell are split into three different galleries with a little overlap (i.e. – you may find the same set in two different catgories): Hardcore Galleries, Solo Galleries, and Fetish Galleries. On a quality level, some of the galleries have some graininess to them but not enough to detract from the overall photo. Seems like the more recent galleries are much clearer though and this would lead me to believe that Mandy has either found a better photographer or better equipment. You can view the different galleries via thumbnails or download the entire gallery as a ZIP file. I really like that each Gallery has a description of the gallery written by Mandy to give Members some background into the scene. Members can also rate and leave comments about each gallery and it’s nice to see that Mandy replies to comments directed at her. It’s always a good thing for a Solo Site when the main attraction interacts with their Fans and Admirers!

OK… CONTENT. Content IS Queen on Mandy-Mitchell. I suppose that people become Members of paysites for a number of different reasons but when it all comes down, I think the vast majority of people join because they find something interesting or appealing about the content. Mandy-Mitchell has, by far, some of the most interesting content of any solo Shemale site that I’ve come across. Mandy has made it her personal and ongoing mission to bring the ‘kinky side’ of Shemale porn to the masses via her Official Site. In addition to the ‘boy fucks girl’ type of scenes that most sites offer, on Mandy-Mitchell you’ll find Mandy playing with other TS Performers (an awesome set with Aly Sinclair), dominating guys, and playing with some very hot genetic women.

One of the recurring themes on Mandy-Mitchell is bondage, which she seems to REALLY enjoy. And, we’re not just talking your ordinary, everyday type of ho-hum bondage. This is real, gritty, hardcore bondage that you’ll personally feel with each and every pose that Mandy undergoes. I love how Mandy pushes limits on her site. I think every person will find at least one thing on Mandy-Mitchell that will make them squirm a little bit in their seat; but, more often than not, you’ll most likely be doing something else in your seat besides squirming…

VIDEO CONTENT
Videos on Mandy-Mitchell are also divided up into the same three sections as the Photo Content which makes it easy to find the matching video to any of the photo galleries you enjoy. Videos appear to be released a couple days after the photo set goes live so that gives you plenty of time to drool in anticipation of what’s in store. Mandy offers Members a wide variety of choices to download videos including an MP4 version for mobile phones. If you’re a MAC user, Mandy renders all her videos in a Quicktime format for native playability. PC users have the option of Low Quality, Medium Quality, and High Quality videos in a WMV format.

You’ll want to pay attention to the file size of the video you want to download and choose appropriately. I was able to reach a maximum download speed of 95 KB/sec, which is a little on the slow side when you’re talking about a 1GB file. You’re looking at a very long wait. As always, I downloaded several different files through the course of a week at differing times of the day and even checked my download speeds against other sites just to be sure it wasn’t my computer (I was able to average out about 330 KB/sec at the same times from other sites). I didn’t fare any better with the streaming option. So, while the video content may be hot and heavy on Mandy-Mitchell, best not to get too worked up for an instant payoff and set your computer to download the medium and high quality videos overnight.

JOINING MANDY-MITCHELL
As part of the SMC Network of Solo Shemale Sites, Mandy-Mitchell is a great value. Even by itself, at $19.95 for a one month Membership, Mandy’s site is well worth the price. When you throw in 10 other sites (at the time of this writing) from the network with the MultiPass option for just $35.00, it’s pretty much a no-brainer which option I’d choose.

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
Mandy-Mitchell is unique, creative, and features one of the hottest Shemale Pornstars of today. My only negative comment about the site itself is a technical one, rather than a creative one. I think with an increase of bandwidth, resulting in faster download speeds, Mandy-Mitchell would be a top-notch site.

Mandy herself is a top-quality performer and the scenes on her site show that she deserves a place alongside today’s top Transsexual Pornstars. What is really great about Mandy is that she cares about the content she’s providing to her Members and isn’t just putting out another bland, boring ‘guy fucks Tranny’ scene. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with scenes like that, but it’s nice to see there’s someone in the Industry who is putting out high quality Shemale porn with a real ‘edge’ to it. Whether you become a Member of Mandy-Mitchell because you’re a Fan or merely because you’re curious about one of her more creative scenes, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the content you’ll find there.

My bottom line: Mandy-Mitchell is a solid site that is a vast improvement over the previous incarnation and offers Members some of the most truly unique and creative Shemale porn scenes around. Look for more from Mandy in the future… she’s here to stay!

INTRODUCTION
Domination sites are a dime-a-dozen. Shemale domination sites are a little rarer but there are still quite a few of them out there. Transsexual domination sites that are done well, that is, they immerse the browser in an experience instead of just providing content with a ‘bondage’ theme… now, those sites are like diamonds… hard to find but when you uncover one, they’re the sites you keep on coming back to again and again.

I wouldn’t consider myself to be an expert in the area of B/D (Bondage / Discipline) or S/M (Sado-Masochism) but I can say that I have at least a rudimentary understanding of the subject. One thing I do know is that those persons who are into BDSM are, on the whole, pretty particular about the kind of porn they view, and generally speaking, tend to pay close attention to details. Thus, it is imperative that a site advertising itself as a BDSM site offers the viewer a total immersion in the subject matter… after all, as many BDSM enthusiasts will tell you, it is a lifestyle and not just a hobby. It’s one thing to say you like porn but quite another to say you’re into BDSM… So, let’s take a look at TranSexDomination and see how it measures up.

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
Arriving at TranSexDomination, you’re immediately taken from the colorful world of the Internet into a subdued and leather studded page full of words like, ‘Foot Worship‘ ‘Forced Dildo‘ and ‘Total Domination.’ A good start! Designers of the site have taken great care to insure the total effect of the design elements is complete. The background is broken up with jagged edges and even the type has an edgy look and feel to it. Right from the start you are told what you can expect from the site,

“…TranSexDomination features Shemale fetishes such as Transsexual foot worship, Shemales smoking, Transgenders dressed in fetish leather and PVC outfits, and Transsexual Mistresses with whips, chains, paddles, and restraints.”

Sounds hot to me! The public page offers potential Members plenty of pictures and videos to sample when deciding whether to join the site or not and I love the “Live Stats” area which tells you about the vital stats of TranSexDomination including how many models, photos, and videos there are currently on the site. A sidebar also gives you a glimpse of the Member voted ‘Favorite Mistresses‘ of the site which include some famous faces such as Mistress TS Foxxy, Kelly Shore, and Natassia Dreams.

MEMBER’S AREA
The Main Page of the Member’s Area (referred to as ‘The Dungeon’) brings up current news and updates for the site with links provided to the content. Members can also tour The Dungeon using buttons at the top of the page which highlight the different sections of the site. Updates occur twice weekly with photo content and video content uploaded separately. I love the descriptions that go along with the updates… besides a few spelling errors (someone whip the editor), they are entertaining, well written, and very descriptive.

PHOTO CONTENT
At first glance you may be a little bit puzzled when looking for photo content since there isn’t a button shouting out to you, ‘Photo Content.’ But, clicking on the ‘Mistresses’ or ‘Recent Updates’ button will bring you to a page where you can browse photo content for the site by predetermined categories (solo, hardcore, cumshot, bondage, face sitting, etc.) or by model name. There is also a Search Engine feature which you can use to narrow your search to something like, say… ‘Asian, Foot Worship, Smoking, Glasses, and Hardcore’ (not surprisingly, this turned up no results).

I punched in some of the Mistress’ names that I knew were on the site and found all their content pretty easily. As you would expect from a site of this caliber, the photo quality was excellent and I suggest viewing them in as high a resolution as your monitor can support in order to view the pictures as intended. Lots of interesting outfits (both for the Mistresses and the Subs) and locations make for some good variety of shots. Too often in BDSM sites, it’s the same old dungeon again and again so it’s excellent that TranSexDomination takes the time to change scenes and mix things up. Speaking of TranSex…

So, obviously, this is a Transsexual site, hence the name. The little twist on this site is that it is the Transsexuals doing the dominating here as opposed to the men. Quite honestly, you don’t see content like this everyday and TranSexDomination does a great job of working with Transsexual models who thoroughly enjoy taking on a dominant role. Far too often on BDSM sites (both straight and Shemale), the Mistress often looks ‘out of place,’ as if she’s not really enjoying herself or ‘just collecting a paycheck.’ It’s nice to see the Mistresses of TranSexDomination having fun in the scenes. Then again, who wouldn’t have fun playing with power tools in The Dungeon (see Mistress Tempest pictures below)!

VIDEO CONTENT
The Video Content in TranSexDomination is clearly labeled with its own button and is divided up by Mistress name, accompanied by a portrait thumbnail. I found a few thumbnails that caught my attention and clicked on them to be taken to the Mistress’ page where there were links to the video content. Movies on TranSexDomination are available in WMV files as a lower quality, 320×240 file or a higher quality 640×480 file. If you have a fast connection, I always recommend the higher quality videos over the lower quality, but the file sizes are significantly larger so it’s up to you discretion as to which you choose. I like my porn to fill my screen! I downloaded about eight different videos over the course of a 24 hour period and each downloaded fairly quickly at an average speed of 350kb/s.

Video quality was excellent and the scenes were well shot and acted. The biggest beef I usually have with BDSM scenes is that the setting often doesn’t match the subject matter. Take the case of a roleplaying ‘Nurse / Patient scene. It totally kills the scene if the setup is in a dark, dimly lit basement with candles and cages. It just doesn’t make sense… well, maybe in some deeply disturbed individuals it may. TranSexDomination has an excellent Nurse / Patient scene, featuring the beautiful Asian Mistress, Celeste, in which a real hospital bench and other props add significantly to the overall mood of the scene. Now obviously, there will be inconsistencies unless you’ve got a million dollar budget per scene but at least TranSexDomination tries harder than a good deal of other similar sites out there!

JOINING TRANSEXDOMINATION
A 30-day recurring charge of $34.99 is the price for serving the Mistresses at TranSexDomination. If you’d rather have an extended stay in The Dungeon, you can also choose a 90-day recurring charge of $69.99. Subscriptions to the site are processed by CCBill and Epoch which are both well known and trusted names in the Industry.

CONCLUSION AND OVERVIEW
TranSexDomination is a relative newcomer to the Grooby Production family of sites (which include the famous sites, ShemaleYum, LadyboyLadyboy, and Frank’sTgirlWorld, just to name a few). You can tell from some of the earlier shoots that the site was trying to find its way in the finicky world of BDSM; but, as the newer shoots can testify, I think they’ve figured things out and the results are fantastic. With an ever growing portfolio of Transsexual Mistresses willing to take some aggression out on the nearest ass, I think it’s safe to say that TranSexDomination has a solid future of fulfilling the fantasies of Subs everywhere.

As I’ve already stated above, what I really enjoy about TranSexDomination is that they don’t tie a piece of rope around some guy’s wrists and call that ‘bondage.’ Nope… out comes the power tools, chains, whips, and paddles! These Transsexual Mistresses mean business and foolish would be the guy who thinks his shoot is going to be an easy and painless paycheck. Many an ass, having appeared on TranSexDomination has welts and marks that would prove otherwise. This young site is only getting better with age which means crueler and more sadistic Mistresses are waiting for your tongue on their boots right…about…NOW!
