Review:

Yes, this girl is cute. Her promotional material bills her as a teen Internet sensation, and that's not just hype. This girl is big, for what are pretty obvious reasons. Just watching her take a shower and then drying off with a towel is undeniably erotic.

If you're a Tawnee fan you'll probably like her site. The nature of the material is of a piece with the other sites produced by the Lightspeed team: mostly softcore posing, nothing nasty, and a lot of panty pics. The panties are very much regular panties. Even in her bikini pics Tawnee doesn't wear a thong. There is some masturbation and toy play, and a couple of blow-job clips, but little that you could call really hardcore.

Updates, mainly in the form of picture galleries, are coming once every other day. When we dropped in most recently there were over 230 exclusive galleries. The pics are medium to small size and we thought there could have been more close-ups. Given the softcore nature of most of it there is little in the way of variety. Most of it is sweetie-pie posing (Lightspeed is not a "glam" producer).

The video section features 68 clips. There is very little sophistication in the filming (editing, variation in shots, etc.). It looks like a lot of the earlier, smaller clips are only in RealPlayer. Later clips appear in both RealPlayer and wmv formats, and top out around 25 megs. But file size and format are not consistent (that is, there are still some short videos being added in RealPlayer only). The picture quality is just OK in the wmv clips (below average in RealPlayer), and the sound typically suffers from an annoying, and pointless, soundtrack overlay. And again there is no consistency. Sometimes you get natural sound, voices, etc. Sometimes you get dippy music. It's hard to tell what you're getting (a real problem with all of the sites in this network). More thumbnails would be nice too. 

Positives include picture sets of Tawnee with other Lightspeed Girls, including her almost equally cute sister Tori (these latter aren't lesbian sets, but they are sweet). In addition, some of the extras provided by Lightspeed are pretty substantial and will appeal to fans of the niche (college girls, cheerleaders, upskirts, etc.). For what it's worth we would consider getting a membership in either Lightspeed18 (click for review) as an alternative. Our review of Lightspeed18 gives you some idea of what the various, bewildering options amount to. You get this site with either package. 

We did have some reservations about the site. For an individual performer site Tawnee's personal involvement seems a bit of a mystery. No chats or cam shows were going on. This is definitely not meeting expectations. The blurry line between softcore and hardcore was also a little frustrating. One blow-job clip we watched didn't even end with a money shot--it just stopped half-way through with Tawnee still nursing on a cock. We found this to be downright weird. The girl-girl stuff is the usual Lightspeed playfulness in the pool or frolicking with squirt guns, etc. This isn't a nasty site.

The navigation is, as usual, a mess, mainly due to the extras, cross-networking, and advertising. In addition, the classification scheme doesn't make a lot of sense, and members unfamiliar with the Lightspeed set-up may wonder what the difference between "Sorority" and "University" galleries is (lesbians and cheerleaders, in a nutshell). If you want our overview of how most of this works, please see the review of Lightspeed18.
