| 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.
