The Review: Ariel X is one of the most professional-looking sites that I've seen that is run by the featured model. Of course, that is probably in part because Ariel X is not an amateur housewife or wannabe - she's an actual pornstar and it looks like she's very involved in her site and that her content is high quality. Why don't we log in and see more of what Ariel X has to offer!
The Ariel X main member area is well organized and easy to find your way around. The menu is on the left with easy to read text and clear subjects. On the right you will find a welcome from Ariel plus links to the latest updates. Below that - still on the right - are thumbs of the up-and-coming soon-to-be added updates, along with dates. That way, we know what the next few updates will look like and we'll know the dates they are to be added. Nice!
The first link on the menu leads to Ariel's bio. It's not a short impersonal bio like you might have seen on some corporate single model sites. It's interesting, sexy and fun and it will make you want to know more about her. What can you say about a girl who admits that her favorite resturant is Del Taco, who admits she was a virgin till she was 20 and who lists her favorite method of birth control as butt sex? If this makes you want to read more of Ariel, her forum and her journal are on the menu on the left.
Ariel's journal is full of updates, some of which tell about her photo shoots and tell sexy details about her experiences with other girls. Other journal entries may just tell what she did that day. A few include videos, including my favorite. It was titled "oh man i have a hang over" with only a thumb below it. I clicked the thumb and there is a video of Ariel telling us how bad her hangover is and what she did to earn it. Whether you want to know more about Ariel X as a person or just want to read about the latest girl who ate her pussy, the journal has a lot to offer.
The photo section of Ariel X has a lot to offer. There are currently 182 pic sets of Ariel solo, of her friends and some fun girl/girl stuff. There are a total of 6 categories, including masturbation, girl on girl and fetish. The pics sets are medium sized, shown around 562x750, although some of the older sets are smaller. The galleries here come with all the bells and whistles, as each can be downloaded in a zip file or enjoyed as a hands-free slide show.
Pic quality here is mostly good stuff, although there are some amateur-quality sets. The photography is also pretty good, ranging from pro-am to pro. The lighting in most sets is good, and the pics themselves are very sexy. I found beautiful sensuous single girl shoots, some lesbian sex guaranteed to make members horny and some very raw and hardcore masturbation sets that showed every facial expression as Ariel or one of her friends came.
There are 33 videos, which wasn't surprising after I saw the date on each video. While the pics have been updating for 2 years, Ariel X only started adding videos a few months ago. That means that the site is updating the videos fairly regularly, always good to know.
Each video is offered in both WMV and Quicktime in your choice of 3 speeds - 128k, 256k
and 512k. I found the WMVs to be just a little higher quality than the Quicktime videos, and both formats of the 512k videos are shown at average quality and a screen size of 540x360. The others are smaller and are fair quality, so if you're on a slower connection, you'll still be able to enjoy the videos. Some of the videos are a little blurred deliberately to be artistic, which does add atmosphere but takes away some of the sexiness - at least, it did for me.
The movies vary but most are quite short - under 2 minutes - and the longest video I found was under 5 minutes in duration. Each movie can be streamed or saved to your harddrive and there is no DRM. There are interview videos with Ariel, and these are definitely worth checking out. There are behind the scenes and lesbian vids, which usually have good quality music but none of the sounds from the girls. One of the videos I watched actually had no sound.
If you prefer to search through the content by model, there is a link on the menu that says Girlfriends. This is basically a model index and you can see a thumb of each girl along with her name and the number of sets she appears in inside Ariel X. These are the same pic and video sets listed in the photos and videos sections, but allows you to enjoy each model.
If you want to see when each update was added - or will be added - be sure and check out the Schedule. Each month is shown on a calendar, which is a very good way to get an idea of when things happen. You'll find not only pics and videos listed but also journal entries. And as a couple fun things, Ariel X members get to chat on the forum, which Ariel herself is very active on. There is also a section called Extras that contains a nice collection of mostly very well-done wallpapers of Ariel and the other girls on the site.
Conclusion: Ariel X delivers if you're looking for a site run by a solo model that includes plenty of good quality pics and updates of some kind pretty much every day. You can see plenty of Ariel and her friends here. The videos aren't quite as high quality as the pics, but they're still pretty good stuff although on the short side. Ariel's journal is a great read and she works on it regularly. For the price, I think Ariel X is a not only a good site but a good deal! Why not check it out and see what you think?
