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
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…

INTRODUCTION
I’ve been waiting to review Frank’s Tgirl World for a while now and now that the site has had a major overhaul, I thought it would be the perfect time to take a second look. Actually, it’s more like the millionth look in my case since I’ve been a fan of the site for a while now. Frank’s Tgirl World is one of my favorite sites for a variety of different reasons but we’ll discuss that a little later further on in the review. For now, it’s worth mentioning that Frank’s Tgirl World is owned and operated by Grooby Productions, a company well known in the Shemale Porn Industry for creating and maintaining high quality Shemale sites. The face of Frank’s Tgirl World is famed Grooby photographer Frank, who has one of the best jobs in the world… seriously. So, let’s dive into Frank’s world for a minute or two and take a closer look at his site.

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
The new Frank’s Tgirl World, or Frank’s Tgirl World v2.0 as its been called, is a HUGE step up from the previous version of the site. Once past the obligatory Adult Warning page, you’re taken to the Introduction page which is short and sweet. A brief introduction from Frank, some thumbnails from the latest Transsexual Models featured on the site, and the sites current content statistics give you a nice feeling for Frank’s Tgirl World before you jump into the Tour. The color scheme is a subdued green which works really well with the tans, whites, and golds used as type. Navigation through the public areas is made fun with some great buttons depicting the suitcases that Frank takes with him on his world tours.

Speaking of tours, when you take the tour of Frank’s Tgirl World, you’ll be treated to some great Flash videos and pictures from some of the past few recent updates, and you’ll get a very good idea of the quality photography Frank is capable of and displays on the site. The site was very responsive and I did not encounter any broken links or faulty files. Preview movies downloaded quickly and were of sufficient quality to make me want to see more. I like the Member testimonials across the tops of the tour pages… here’s one that reads:

“7 years Frank! That’s how long I’ve been a Member. Am I the longest? Well it’s been worth every penny… here is to the next 7!” -Tiffany

MEMBERS AREA
Upon entering the Member Area of Frank’s Tgirl World, you’re greeted with the ‘Recent News’ from the site which includes portraits of the most recently featured models as well as a brief blurb written by Frank detailing the minutiae of being one of the best Transsexual photographers in the world. Oftentimes these blurbs are more comical than serious which is sort of Frank’s character. As a side note, I would definitely recommend reading Frank’s Official Travel Blog for more insight into his very busy world.

The Member’s area of Frank’s Tgirl World is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the site overhaul. Where navigating around the old Frank’s was primarily done through individual galleries, which was a little tedious, now you can use a very powerful ‘Search’ feature to find the model you’re specifically looking for. Or, you can browse through the 700+ models on the site by flipping through thumb-nailed pictures of them until you find one you want to see more of. In fact, there are several different ways to get to the same content on the site so Members just need to pick the one they’re the most comfortable with and then thousands of Frank’s pictures and videos are right there at their fingertips.

Another cool feature of the site is the ‘My Portfolio’ section, where Members can add photo sets, videos, or models that they really like so they don’t have to go about trying to find them again when they log in next time. This feature may not seem like a big deal but when you’ve been a Member for 7 years like Tiffany, you’ll definitely collect some favorites that you’ll want to come back to time and time again.

PHOTO CONTENT
Photography is really what Frank’s Tgirl World excels at presenting. Plenty of sites have really beautiful Transsexual models but only a handful have the quality photographer that Frank is. Frank isn’t just some amateur or hobbyist, he’s an honest to goodness professionally trained photographer and he’s got the equipment to back it up. The bottom line here though is that Frank’s photography speaks for itself.

Frank has a great eye for lighting and composition and really knows how to make his models look their best. One thing you’ll immediately notice when you start browsing through the models on his site is that there aren’t too many of his models wearing bright, gaudy makeup or flashy outfits. I think Frank tends to rely on enhancing the natural beauty of his Transsexual models instead of placing a heavy emphasis on make-up and post-production airbrushing. Many of his photo sets are shot using natural lighting and these sets make for some truly great images.

As for the photos themselves, they’re arranged by model and all of a particular model’s content is readily available from a short Model Biography Page. You can choose to view the galleries as individual pictures or to download the entire gallery as a ZIP file for browsing on your home computer. Quality of the photo sets are very high and Frank’s Tgirl World has some of my favorite all time pictures of many of my favorite Shemale Pornstars.

VIDEO CONTENT
Frank’s Tgirl World is largely made up of ’solo’ content, meaning that a majority of the pictures and videos are of just the model either masturbating or playing with toys. That’s not to say that Frank doesn’t feature some hardcore content every once in a while but it’s more then exception than the rule. That stated, video content on Frank’s Tgirl World is pretty damn hot and unless you’re joining a site specifically for the hardcore content, you won’t be disappointed. Frank’s experience as a photographer definitely translates well into videography as well. The same attention to lighting and clarity that he shows in his photographs is readily apparent in his videos. Videos can also be accessed through the Model’s Biography Page.

Frank’s Tgirl World has chosen to present files as WMV files for maximum playability. You can either choose to stream the video from your browser or else download it directly to your computer for viewing. Recent file sizes are very large, which is probably due to the advent of major sites like Frank’s shooting most of their video content in High Definition these days. However, despite the large file sizes, download speeds remained fairly quick. I was able to download at approximately 300-350 KB/sec. across the day for a variety of files. So, I would recommend finding a video to download and then ducking out for a quick cup of coffee or something while it downloads. Once it’s done, believe me, the video quality is definitely worth the wait!

JOINING FRANK’S TGIRL WORLD
Becoming a Member of Frank’s Tgirl World is $34.99 per 30 days access (recurring). You can also choose to become a Member for 90 days at $69.99 which yields significant savings. Now, relative to some other sites out there, this may seem a little high but you really have to keep in mind that Frank’s Tgirl World is high quality site with a TON of content. Additionally it is updated without fail each and every week and there are precious few other sites out there that have the variety and caliber Transsexual models that Frank is able to attract.

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
As I stated in the beginning of this Review, I’ve been a fan of Frank’s work for a long time now. The site is by far one of the best sites as far as variety and quality of photos goes. Frank’s Tgirl World is one of the few sites I turn to when I am looking for information on a particular model since almost every Transsexual model or Shemale Pornstar worth mentioning shoots for the site at one time or another. While not being what I would consider to be a ‘hardcore’ site, Frank’s offers plenty of other great content that Members are sure to enjoy for months, or even years evidently! The awesome thing about Frank’s, and my bottom line, is that you can count on Frank’s Tgirl World for QUALITY Shemale porn.

INTRODUCTION
Transsexual Prostitutes… what a name for a DVD series! And, a pretty bold (and smart) move for any of the beautiful girls who decide to be forever memorialized and marked as a star in the series. Transsexual Prostitutes is one of the hottest and longest running Shemale DVD series around and definitely one of the most well known! The series is going on it’s 60th DVD and has attracted the star power of everyone from Ariel Everitts to Vicki Richter. The Transsexual Prostitutes series has also won multiple AVN Awards as Best Transsexual Series.

Tranny Pros is your place to access a huge library (55GB and counting) of scenes from the Transsexual Prostitutes series as well as a few scenes from some other great Shemale series including, Transsexual Gangbangers and Transsexual Babysitters. But, the real meat and potatoes of the site for Shemale lovers, is the access to the Transsexual Prostitutes series scenes. For those who are only mildly interested in the genre or are simply satisfying a curiosity, access to Tranny Pros also brings with it some significant rewards including memberships to the Rocco Siffredi site, Tera Partrick site, and the main site for Shemale porn producer, Devil’s Film.

The review of Tranny Pros will be a bit different from the other reviews because of the unique nature of the site.

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
Tranny Pros a simply designed site, which is good, since it has a simple purpose. To showcase the awesome scenes from the Transsexual Prostitutes series. Why take away from that with an overly flashy and cluttered site? Tranny Pros is colored in oranges, reds, and pinks and comes across as colorful without being garish. The front page has some video captures from the newest scene additions to the site and a trailer that’s fairly easy to miss up in the header (get your dancing shoes out for the heavy club beats in the trailer). There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason to the method the site uses to add scenes but I’m sure there is method in the madness somewhere. There’s really not too much to do on the public pages of Tranny Pros except for scroll the video captures and become a Member.

I suppose if you’re really intent on doing some Internet surfing, you could browse the Tranny Pros Store or Links Section, but if you’re anything like me, when you come to a porn site, you’re pretty much in the mood for some great porn...

MEMBERS AREA
…and there’s lots of that on Tranny Pros! In fact, currently, there are 124 different movies from 32 different DVD’s. This amounts to 61+ hours of content or 55GB of downloadable videos. That is one heck of a lot of porn by anyone’s standard! So, basically, you could download one movie per day for 4 months straight and still not max out the content. That’s a pretty good deal for one site, and that’s not even including all the other sites you get for FREE when becoming a Member of Tranny Pros!

The Member’s Area of Tranny Pros is fairly straight forward. There’s only one thing the site does and that is, videos. At the top of the Member’s Area page is a Search Engine box where you can find all the videos on the site by Series, Title, or Actresses. The actresses part may be a little confusing for some if you know your pornstars. For instance, Ariana Jollee is listed there. Ariana is a mainstream pornstar that is definitely NOT a Transsexual (one of my favorites by the way – this girl is DIRTY) but she does star in the Transsexual Prostitutes series (#226 – with Vicki Richter). But, for the most part, I found that searching by actress to be the most fulfilling since you’ll recognize some big names there including, Yasmin Lee, Wendy Williams, and Joanna Jet.

PHOTO CONTENT
Photo content on the site is pretty limited since the focus of Tranny Pros IS the videos. However, there are screen captures from each scene. These are provided more for a glimpse of what video contains more than anything so don’t be expecting high quality beautiful pictures here.

VIDEO CONTENT
OK, the videos are what Tranny Pros is all about and let me start by saying that Transsexual Prostitites DEFINITELY deserves it’s AVN Awards. The series is hot and features some of the most beautiful Transsexuals in the world engaged in hot, hardcore sex! You’d think with a name like Transsexual Prostitutes, there would be a ‘prostitute’ theme throughout the series but that’s not necessarily the case and I think now the title is more about getting attention than providing a starting point for a storyline. Personally, I think that a return to that theme would be hot… picking up girls off the street and taking them back home… but, that’s just me and my perverted mind at play.

Once you’ve decided upon a scene to watch you are presented with 4 different options. Either a High or Low Quality Stream or a High / Low Quality Download. All options worked equally well during my test period. Streaming was quick and was only interrupted once while downloads averaged out at about 1.1MB / sec, which is a very respectable download speed. You can view the screenshots and a trailer from the video first if you’re not sure you want to spend the time taking a change on a download you may not like. Videos are also rated by Members and you can also leave any comments you’d like to regarding the scene.

One of the things I really enjoyed about Tranny Pros is that the scenes are pretty varied as far as content goes. Some are slow and sexy while others are hot and heavy. Some are Tranny on Guy while others are Guy on Tranny. There are twosomes, threesomes, and even foursomes. Cumshots, facials, creampies… whatever your particular itch, you can be pretty sure that it’s covered somewhere in the Transsexual Prostitutes series! Probably the only thing I could say is that I wish the site offered scenes from the newest Transsexual Prostitutes series. At the time of this writing, #59 is available to purchase but only scenes from #48 are available to download. I guess from a marketing standpoint this makes good sense but I bet there are some people out there who are left with the feeling that they’re getting ‘old’ content. Which, in the overall value of the site would be a pretty minor complaint in my book.

JOINING TRANNY PROS
If you’re looking for one of the best overall values on the Internet, then Tranny Pros is DEFINITELY worth it’s weight in gold. Honestly, with the huge amount of content available on the Tranny Pros site PLUS all the other awesome sites you get for your Membership, I can’t imagine passing this up. For just under $0.77 / day you can get UNLIMITED downloads to all the Tranny Pros content plus all the other sites which I’m not even going to try and list off here… there’s just too many of them. Plenty of content for you Tranny lovers out there and more than enough if you like straight porn too! It’s a win win and without doubt, one of, if not the best deal on the Internet for this type of porn.

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
Transsexual Prostitutes is awesome and by proxy, Tranny Pros is an awesome site. Period. What’s not to love? Hot content with some of the hottest stars in the business. Fast download speeds. Great value for the join price. If you’re a picture lover, you may find yourself a little disappointed, or if you have a slow internet connection you may be a bit frustrated at the download times. But, other than that, you’ll love Tranny Pros. I did and I know my Tranny porn sites pretty well!

INTRODUCTION
I believe that Bob’s Tgirls is one of the longest running Transsexual paysites still in operation today; and, even if it’s not, it is definitely one of the most widely respected and well-known! Far from being a site run by a large corporation with little or no day-to-day dealings with the Transsexual community, Bob (the owner) has built his site as a ‘…fan of beautiful Tgirls and a personal friend to many.’ As such, Bob has a unique insider’s look into the Shemale porn community and it clearly shows in his site that he knows his Tgirls… intimately. Bob’s site has grown from the humble endeavors of one Admirer to share his adoration of Tgirls with the world to a pillar in the world of Transsexual porn, known for bringing its Members the highest quality girls and content around.

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
There was most likely a time when Bob’s Tgirls was cutting edge in website design… that time has probably passed by many years. Let me emphatically say though, Bob’s Tgirls is solidly built and easy to navigate. You just are not going to find super flashy pictures and backdrops on the site, which opts instead for a simple blue-black background and table driven design elements.

I’m not 100% sure if Bob still actually maintains the site design and upkeep himself, if he does, along with all the photography and video shoots, I can only say, ‘Bravo.’ A site this enormous must take vast amounts of time to update and as far as paysites go, it appears to be well maintained. I did not encounter any 404 pages or any broken links on the public areas of the site.

The Tour Area of Bob’s Tgirls is stuffed full of some great pictures of some very beautiful Tgirls! There are also a variety of preview videos rendered in a low quality setting for browsers to enjoy before becoming a Member. Altogether, browsing through the Tour Area did leave me wanting to check out the Member’s Area which is what a good Tour Area should accomplish. So… let’s take a look inside Bob’s Tgirls!

MEMBER’S AREA
The first thing I’ll note to potential Members of Bob’s Tgirls is that you had better brush up on your reading skills! The Main Page is largely text based and it’s a little overwhelming at first for persons who are accustomed to graphic buttons and such that most other paysites use. If you actually take the time to read the text though, Bob does monthly entries containing site annoucements and listing all the girls’ birthdays for the month, which is a special and unique touch that I’m sure is appreciated.

For those wondering where in the world to direct their mouse, there is a side bar on the left hand side of the screen which directs browsers to the different sections of the site. You can go directly to the “Updates” section for the freshest content or browse the “Videos” and “Galleries” sections individually until you come across something you like.

Bob’s Tgirls also has a few different Forums accessible by Members but I didn’t check these out as they do not seem to be an integral portion of the site. Bob also runs a video store out of the site called, Bob’s Tgirl Mall where you can purchase DVD’s of the girls on Bob’s as well as some other great production companies. Members who enjoy reading will love the extensive collection of Tgirl related stories that Bob has available for Members. And, you definitely need to read “Bob’s Bio,” which will give old fogeys (kidding!!) everywhere hope that they too can start their own Tgirl empire! Seriously, it’s an entertaining and pretty amazing story when you consider all the things that ‘fell into place’ to enable Bob’s Tgirls to become the site it is today!

PHOTO CONTENT
With sites like this, where there is basically one photographer, I always like to visit the very first gallery and then go from there to get a feel for the photographer’s skills and the growth since. Now, not that I’m a expert in photography or anything even remotely close, but I can tell a hack from a legitimate amateur and can definitely spot an expertly taken photograph. I’ve got to say, given the technology that was available when the site was created, the picture quality is still very high and well shot. Bob doesn’t talk about how he developed his photography skills but he certainly had some natural talent to draw from. As expected, latest galleries are quite beautiful and well presented. With the success of the site, Bob has been able to work with some different photographers so it’s nice to see some different styles within the galleries.

Photos can either be viewed individually via thumbnails, downloaded as a ZIP file, or viewed in the browser as a slideshow. If you choose the slideshow option, you need to have a Java enabled and supported browser. The slide show also uses frames which have mostly fallen out of usage with today’s modern web designers. But, it is still effective and worked properly so if you’re really into ‘hands-free’ photo browsing, the slideshow is a nice option to have.

VIDEO CONTENT
The first thing I noticed right away in the video section is that the more recent videos are available for download in an MP4 format, which means you can take them to go on your iPod, PSP, or other handheld device. This is a great feature which I surprisingly don’t see a lot of yet, but I think will catch on here in the near future (Probably all those guys worried about their significant others finding Tgirl porn on their phones!), so kudos to Bob for having this kind of forethought.

Videos on Bob’s can be downloaded in a variety of different formats, depending on the temporal placement of the video… which is a very “Star Trek” way of saying, the older the video, the older the format used. For instance, a video from 2001 will be in an MPG format and a video from 2009 will be available as a DivX HD download. Video quality also varies according to the date of the video but all were enjoyable to watch. Videos downloaded at a relatively quick pace of 150Kb/s which kept most downloads under or near 5 minutes. Some videos have ‘extra’ content such as Blooper Reels, and Interviews (which I enjoyed a lot).

JOINING BOB’S TGIRLS
As of November 2008, becoming a Member of Bob’s Tgirls for 30 days access was an astoundingly low, $19.95! I’m not sure how long this ‘Recession Rollback’ will continue but if it’s still available when you visit the site, I’d encourage you to take it! This low price places Bob’s Tgirls as one of the best values for Transsexual paysites, hands-down.

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
Bob knows Tgirls. It should be a commercial. Really, it’s that simple. Bob is a true admirer of the girls who has put his heart and soul into developing and running this site and the results are amazing. A vast and well presented collection of Tgirl photos and videos awaits Members of Bob’s Tgirls and the price is simply unbeatable. Bob has rubbed shoulders with many of the worlds best-known Tgirls of today and yester-year. If you consider youself a TS fan, you’ll absolutely love Bob’s Tgirls! Join today. Do it.

Featured Strokers in this Review (in order of appearance):

INTRODUCTION
Shemale Strokers is one of the longest running Transsexual sites still in operation today. The concept behind the site is direct and simple, much like their tagline, “They Strip! They Stroke! They Splooge!” Although simple in conception and design, Shemale Strokers is wickedly effective in its efforts. The site delivers some of the hottest Shemale pornstars in the world, many of them near or at the beginning of their careers, in some of the hottest pictures and videos available. I’ve got to say, I’m amazed at the ability of Mancini Productions, who owns and operates the site, to sniff out the hottest Shemale talents across the industry.

Mancini Productions is also the company behind the famous “Shemale Strokers” series of videos and DVD’s as well as “Black Tranny Whackers,” “Suck My Tranny Cock,” and “Bang My Tranny Ass.”

SITE DESIGN AND NAVIGATION
The design of Shemale Strokers is pretty basic. In fact, I’ll go ahead and say that it’s probably one of the most straight-forward and basic adult paysites in operation. Don’t let this put you off though, I’ve seen a great deal of well designed sites that don’t even come close to the value that Shemale Strokers offers its Members. Shemale Strokers is designed ‘old-school’ with tables accounting for much of the design scheme. This leads to a relatively simple design which flows linearly from to top to bottom. If your hardware is like the site, you’ll want to upgrade you monitor as the site is clearly designed for larger screen resolutions of at least 1280×800 or higher. Viewing the site at a lower resolution causes side-scrolling to be necessary and we all know how lazy we’ve become in this day and age… nobody likes to side-scroll. Otherwise, the interface is fairly easy to navigate and buttons are clearly labeled. The background is a simple black which makes reading the type and finding buttons extremely easy. There are small details which make the design of the site a little unsightly, such as un-centered photos and type, but these do not greatly affect the overall navigation.

The Tour Area of Shemale Strokers is fairly extensive, offering a mixture of pictures and a trailer for each update. An interesting twist to the Tour Area is the ability to purchase the entire movie outright without having to join the site via an attached internet storefront. One movie in WMV format is $9.99 which is expensive considering the relative costs of joining the site for the whole she-bang, but it’s a great option for those who want to see a particular video but don’t want to have to deal with monthly subscriptions.

MEMBER’S AREA
The Member’s Area of Shemale Strokers is again, very basic in design but effective in content. Again, a reminder to set your screen resolution to at least 1280×800 to avoid constant side-scrolling on the mainpage is in order. The mainpage of the the Member’s Area consists of thumbnail animations teasing you with ‘Cumming Soon’ graphics of models to be making appearances at a later date. All actual content for the site can be found on individual pages (Jump To Shemale Strokers Page…) compiled by thumbnails of the models. Navigation could use some help as much of the design elements are text based and tend to get lost amid the animated thumbnails.

One thing I really like about the site is that since your Membership includes the other sites listed above, you can seamlessly navigate to them directly from the mainpage without having to leave the site, re-enter a user/pass combination, and then return to the site again. One things I really dislike about the site is that no dates accompany the updates to tell Members which content is the most recent, although in it’s defense, Shemale Strokers gives Members a little credit in the ‘has brains’ category and trusts that they will understand that newer content is towards the top of the page. But, dates are always nice… especially for new Members.

PHOTO CONTENT
As I stated earlier, Shemale Strokers has some amazing Transsexual models in their portfolio from classic stars such as Megan Chavalier, Danielle Foxxx (pre-surgery), and Joanna Jet to newer stars such as Kimber James, TS Jesse, and Hazel Tucker. If you’ve heard of them, chances are they’ve appeared on Shemale Strokers at some point or another in their careers!

Photos for each of the models can either be viewed individually or else downloaded as a ZIP file. I would probably recommend the ZIP file since viewing each photo from the thumbnail is a slow and tedious process of clicking then back-clicking… there is no self-propelled option for navigating through the photos. Photo quality is very good though and Mancini Productions has done a great job of having quality photographers on the payroll. Sets are varied locations and photos are all well lighted, well framed, and crisp.

VIDEO CONTENT
The video content of Shemale Strokers is terrific but execution could use some help. Older movies are split into segments of either MPEG or WMV AND MOV files. There isn’t an option to download the entire video. Newer videos though do have this option and it’s a good thing… in this day and age of high-speed internet, the days of segmented video clips really are on their way out the door. I don’t quite understand the continued option of offering MOV files since WMV files can play on MACS with a small add-on but since it’s not my site and nor am I a MAC user, I’ll just assume that there’s a good reason for it.

A great feature of Shemale Strokers is the ‘Stroker Shots’ section which includes the cumshots of all the videos in small MOV or WMV files. So, if you’re a big fan of the cumshot… you’ll love this feature. You can also browse ‘Sammy’s All Time Favorite Scenes’ which gives you a look into the mind of Shemale Strokers creator, Sammy Mancini.

Video quality is high with the newer videos and the site is extremely fast. I downloaded clips at approximately 1.1 – 1.5 MB/s which is very fast for most similar paysites. This means that a full movie approximately 250MB to 290MB in length took a blazing fast 3 or 4 minutes to download entirely. In porn, quick is good and this is one of the quickest sites I’ve ever downloaded content from. I’ve already stated that the site has some of the biggest names in the industry and I gotta say… wow… there are some very hot scenes in Shemale Strokers that you won’t find elsewhere!

JOINING SHEMALE STROKERS
For a limited time, Shemale Strokers is offering a “Recession Buster” pricing tier of $24.95 (recurring) for 30 days access (remember, this includes full access to the sites listed above). You can also purchase 2 months for $44.95 which rebills after that time at $19.95. In addition you can purchase 6 months for $99.95 which rebills at $17.95 when the 6-months is over. You can also just purchase a full year of Shemale Strokers for $199.95 which doesn’t rebill at all. Basically, the more you shell out in the beginning, the more you’ll save in the long-run.

CONCLUSION AND SITE OVERVIEW
I REALLY WANT to like this site. The reasons for doing so are obvious… content is awesome, varied, and updated frequently. However, the site has some major design flaws and some poorer execution which makes it difficult to spend time surfing the site. Luckily, the site is amazingly fast so you can ‘get in, grab your content, and get out,’ which, unfortunately, is probably what most Members are doing. I could be wrong, but I expect the retention rate of Shemale Strokers is probably on the lower side due in part to poor design and navigation. In this day and age, people just expect better from a paysite… things like self-propelling photo galleries are no longer options as they once were, only found on a few ‘high end’ sites. Today’s porn surfers are a smart, young crowd and most know that options like this are easy to make and thus expected.

With a little site-wide redesign – and I’m not talking more ‘flashy’ – just better execution and navigation, Shemale Strokers would be at the top of my list for solo scene Transsexual sites. Even with the flaws, it still ranks up there as one of my favorite sites. It looks as if Shemale Strokers is taking some baby steps in this direction… the newer galleries are much, much better than the older galleries. So, perhaps this is in the works… in the meantime, I would say, if you can put up with the simple design and some annoying navigation, then the content is definitely worth the price of admission… whichever one of the 4 billing options you end up choosing.

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!
