THE LOW DOWN [Top]

Natalie is sexy, curvy and chalk full of personality. If you don’t agree then this site probably isn’t for you, check out allmen.com. This 20 year old fiery young amateur lives an adventurous life; activities such as cliff diving are right up her alley. Her high energy level is reflected on her website with loads of updates and heart stopping content. She can’t keep her hands off her 34C full juicy breasts; fondling, squeezing, bouncing and mashing them together. With a sweet set of tits comes an amazing ass… she gropes those cheeks and wiggles her butt to everyone’s delight. You don’t want to be near her as she tears up the scene, flinging her long brown hair about like a whip. Her stunning figure and wild antics make Natalie a model a I won’t soon forget.

Natalie Sparks is a single model glamour site run by yours truly, Kate from Kate’s Playground. The site features videos, pictures and live cams of non nude and topless content. Sneak peeks below the belt aren’t uncommon either. Natalie wears the tightest and skimpiest outfits she can squeeze into. She acknowledges jean lovers with painted on denim that ride up her butt crack. Her panty and thong collection will leave you standing to attention. Different themes, such as the “Hooters” and foot fetish sets, will give a good dose of variety at Natalie Sparks. While the shoot locations aren’t picturesque, they remain different for each set.

Natalie and Kate do all the work for Natalie Sparks. From my understanding, Kate does the photography, a bit of video, and the site work. Natalie does all the modelling and films most of her own videos. With Kate’s experience in the internet adult industry, and a super hot active model, how can this site go wrong? Well read on below and find out as I analyze this site peace by peace.

PAYMENT OPTIONS [Top]

Ok, so I love Natalie, what’s the damage going to be? There is only one option , and it is…

• $24.95US for 30 days (recurring)

This can be paid by Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or Discover credit cards. The payment processing and support is handled by CCBill.

Before signing your hard earned cash away, it’s always good to get some background info on your purchase. This review is a good starter, but I suggest taking a look at Nat’s tour. There are no freebies, but there are a lot of sexy thumbs to view with some dirty comments. Her personality shines as she describes the rewards of a signup.

WHAT TO EXPECT [Top]

Member’s Area Xvid Tour

The site navigation is flawless; no broken links and everything is easily accessible. The following menu is your navigational key to Natalie’s wonders:

The first noteworthy section is Natalie Sparks home page, the landing area for new and returning visitors. The welcome message is one of the first things you will see, giving you some background site info and embedded links to some of the hot spots at Natalie Sparks. The latest updates, a friend’s gallery and the cam schedule are also located on the home page. Natalie’s personal email can be found here as well, no stalking, write nice now!

Moving on down the list, in my opinion the highlight of the site, is the photo department. The pictures are all taken at a professional level, with superb lighting and detail. The poses are very hot, the tease extreme, and the selection outstanding. The available galleries are listed on pages with thumbnails, text descriptions, a link to either a small or large picture index page and a video link if it exists. There is only one index page per gallery, which is crowded with over 50 thumbnails and may seem a little slow to load up on a 56k modem. The thumbnails on the earlier shoots have been warped in their resize, but the actual picture is fine, and the newer gallery thumbs look good. There are 41 galleries and counting with an average of 60 pictures in each. The smaller images are 600×900 and the larger images are 800×1200. Unfortunately they have to be downloaded one at a time; there’s no convenient zip file.

The Videos are up next, usually my favourite section, but not so at Natalie Sparks. The lighting in some of the videos was dark and I had to adjust my gamma to get a better view. Some of the videos seemed more like cams to me, having the camera on a desk and playing around in front of it. While this gets the job done, I’d rather see some zooming and panning. As for the video quality, I have nothing to complain about. The videos are wmv9, 640×480 and 29.97fps. The quality gets better with newer content. There’s currently 26 vids with a view or download option.

The Webcam is a necessary component to a successful model site these days. Unfortunately the cam times didn’t agree with my work schedule, and I had to resort to the archive to review this section. There are live shows 2 or 3 times a week and they’re normally scheduled around the weekend, so most folks with a normal job won’t have a problem catching one. The cam shows come with sound and excellent video quality that can be resized to full screen. Natalie is very attentive to her member’s needs; the archives were proof of that. Along with the live chat and the archives, you get cam videos and pictures in this section. Here’s a couple screenshots from the webcam archive:

The Candid section currently has another 5 galleries to browse. These are spur of the moment, out of the blueish type photos that Nat has taken of herself. They’re rough around the edges but there is some hot action in here. There is one photo set where she rubs her privates on a guitar, what a lucky guitar, and we get to see the tip of the iceburg. The pictures are mostly 800×1067.

Any good site that wants to last needs a forum, and Natalie and Kate have delivered. There is a general, suggestions, and an introduction forum that members are taking advantage of. The site is fairly new and the forum reflects this, having only 48 active members including myself. But the means to communicate your wishes and desires to Natalie is there, if I was a member I would be all over her… er the forum, suggesting and requesting away. Natalie is quite active on her forum with 215 posts, and Kate is right behind her.

The wallpaper section is self explanatory. There are 4 backgrounds to download in 4 of the most common resolutions. There’s one cool wallpaper, the other three are decent.

All good things must come to an end, but not at Natalie Sparks. The features roll on with the Blog, which acts as a diary. Natalie communicates her thoughts and latest adventures in the blog for her members to read up on. The blog is a great idea for the journal as posts are easily categorized and can be commented on. There are 18 entries so far, and the members seem to be digging it and are commenting.

Need more Natalie, well check out the store for some cool stuff like posters, prints and zip sets. All the information and links for a happy purchase are their: shopping cart, tracking service, shipping rates, customer service, and return and exchange info. There is one zip set up for purchase, a hot full nude shoot with Natalie and Kate getting all touchy feely. There are 165 pictures and 1 HD video (8:42min) for $17.50 US. True fans don’t want to miss out on that action.

We’re getting near the end of the content with the friend page; another 8 galleries of hot models await you here. These are a step up from your regular hosted galleries with 25 pictures in each. Not that you would ever get tired of Natalie, but it is nice to see a bit of variety from time to time. Each gallery comes with its referral link to the model’s website.

This is it, the end, the FAQ. Most site related questions are answered here, like video and password problems. Why doesn’t Natalie get totally nude? You will have to read the faq to find out. The webmaster’s email is provided for further questions, comments or concerns.

• 2 Video Updates a week
• 2 Picture Updates a week
• 2 Cams a week

SUPPORT [Top]

Support information is easily accessible. The FAQ is up on the main menu and can be found in the footer along with a link to CCBill for cancellation and billing issues. The email response was a little slow, but we got there and the review had a chance to live. I have a feeling technical issues are dealt with a little quicker, where as I’m just a wiener trying to get a free pass.

IMPROVEMENTS [Top]

There are a few things I would like to criticize and suggest. One being the absence of zip files for the pictures. Not every site has this, but we sure like it when they do. Second, future videos could be shot by a 3rd party with better lighting and some panning and zooming action. Third is a suggestion, maybe the blog could be public to help promote the site and the forum could be used as the actual diary. Fourth, perhaps add some guest friends to Natalie’s shoots. Fifth, more pricing options. Sixth, keep up the good work!

IN SUMMARY [Top]

Natalie Sparks was an enjoyable experience with steamy photos and videos. There are loads of features and site interaction to keep the avid Natalie fan happy. For a new site I was impressed with the layout and navigation, Kate’s experience with websites and photography has paid off. The site updates at more than a reasonable pace offering a wide range of content for that stiffy. Once again, being a single model site, you don’t get any variety in models, but the friend section is provided for a taste of other TnA. Do your homework, check the galleries and videos below; Natalie is hot to trot but she may not be what you’re after.

Ahhh… Natalie, your sparks could reanimate Frankenstein. Your boobs make me tingle and your ass makes me hard. I look deep into your nipples… I mean eyes… and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Will you be my valentine?

THE LOW DOWN [Top]

Always Pamela, a cute girl with a dirty look, is a pro cam girl hitting the big leagues with her own website. She has blonde hair, fair skin, freckles, pale lips and an above average body. She hits the gym frequently and loosens up with yoga, but she needs a little more work tightening up that bod. By no means unworthy, I would swivel my head and strain my neck to get a glimpse of her ass if she passed me on the streets. Yes, she has a nice butt, and its even nicer when its bent over. Its round and shapely with her peach sticking out, I’d love to take a bite. Her eyes are penetrating and hint at a nasty side, but the site is non nude, so hints and peaks are all you get. Pamela reveals as much skin as she can without actual nudity, butt shots and almost full nudity are common in her galleries.

Always Pamela is a notch on the Mayors Money belt, an adult network leaving their mark on the web. The site features tease photography and videos, cams and some bonus content to keep you coming back for more. Pamela is in control of her site, shouldering most of the workload herself. She obviously enjoys teasing men (and women), and has no problems acting sexy or goofy in front of the camera. Her dance routines are just that, sexy and goofy; she made me laugh but at the same time I wanted to see more. I would almost classify this as a panty site, being the number one outfit worn. There is jeans, joggers and other clothing adorned, but she strips out of them leaving her bouncing around in undies. It seems like Pamela may have picked up a few other fans as well. She has recently done a test shoot with Maxim and Stuff magazine. Hope that turns out for you Pam, and don’t forget about your other fans and your website!

PAYMENT OPTIONS [Top]

Quite a few options; beware the trial and the recurring price.

• $1.95US 24 hour trial ($39.95US recurring)
• $29.95US for 30 days (recurring)
• $59.95US for 90 days
• $79.95US for 180 days

A valid email address is needed before making your selection and punching in your credit info. Soon after I received an email for a newsletter sign up. Related? I think so.

The above options can be paid by Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Discover, Solo and Switch credit cards through EUPaycom. US residents can also pay by check through WTS and Canadian residents can use 900 billing to get a one month membership for $39.95CAD through GXB.

There isn’t much of a tour, it’s a one pager (landing page) with a short preview video and a fake chat. Cheap, but don’t worry, I’ll make up for it.

WHAT TO EXPECT [Top]

Xvid Member Area Tour

The member’s area is straight forward and easy to browse. There are a few problems with navigation and some features that I will discuss further as I break down the site. The following graphic is located on each page and provides access to the different areas of the site:

The home page, the initial landing pad, acts as a welcome mat for new and returning members. Pamela introduces the site and displays her diary here. Unfortunately the diary is lacking new updates, the last one being July17th 2006; one has to wonder what is keeping her from writing. There are also 3 rotating pictures referring members to other model sites. I expect more information on a home page, such as new and upcoming updates being listed and previewed. The newest updates are listed on the guest page.

No playing around, straight to the goods, the Picture section is first on the nav bar. There’s tons of Pamela spank material to sift through. There’s a long list of 173 episodes denoted by a thumbnail and a “view” link. Clicking the view link brings you to the gallery index, with all the picture thumbs on one page. The photos mainly feature Pam, but she does have quite a few guest models posing with her. Navigating the galleries is a breeze, with options for first, previous, next, last and index available. However, the main navigation bar at the top was broken in many of the galleries, and I had to use the back button on my browser to return to the main site area to explore the other areas. Most likely there was a recent layout change and the links haven’t all been updated yet. The pictures are excellent quality, but only offered in one size with no zips. The newer pics are jpg files at 1728×1152, and the older are 1024×683.

It gets even better in the Video department, with over 80 movies to help you get to know Pamela better. The first page of videos has thumbnails and descriptions, the second page only has text. A little more information would be nice, like size and format, but that didn’t stop me from checking them out. There is some interesting material in here, but not much variation. The videos come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The first movies were recorded by a Nikon Digital camera in 320×240 and in Quicktime format. The site has since evolved to window media 9 with resolutions at 320×240 and 640×480. There are also a couple of HD videos, amazing to view, and it would be nice to see future video updates in this format.

22 additional galleries of other models await you in the Friend section. There are about 15 pics in each with referring links to their respective websites. Some of these girls are hot, and might even take you away from Pamela (there is some nudity found here).

The Forum is our next topic, and it looks like it was active at one point with 139 registered users and numerous posts (Pamela has 277). I couldn’t access the forum index though, there are no topics or posts to view. Something has gone very bad here, neglect has left the forum rotting away.

I quickly moved on to the Camchat hoping for better results. There is a yahoo schedule and chat link options in this section. The schedule does have some chats listed for the future, unfortunately I wasn’t able to view one to verify. From some of the cam pics I’ve seen, the chats look like their fun to participate in. When Pamela’s cam is offline, there is a list of 20 free cams to check out of other models. The page refreshes every 20 seconds; some of the models were in private sessions, offline, or on a break. I did manage to check out a few though, and the chat was authentic, non nude, and the juicy stuff lies behind another membership. The top nav bar doesn’t work in the cam chat area either.

Last but not least, we have the Extras to dissect. This is one of the better sections on the site, giving us some personality and diversity from Pamela. There are a few subcategories listed, the first being candids and bloopers. There are 11 galleries with some funny sets to check out, Pamela doesn’t hold back any pictures and lets you see the full extent of her goofy side. There’s also a webcam pictures link leading to 5 galleries of some of her past cams, an amazon.com wishlist, and a wallpaper section with 8 decent backgrounds. Sending Pamela and item from her wishlist is rewarded by a custom video. Currently there is one extra video for download.

• The videos and pictures are updated weekly
• Cam chats are scheduled weekly
• Site speed was faster then my 120k cable connection

SUPPORT [Top]

There isn’t much support available within the site, I couldn’t find any support links. The closest thing was a faq for a forum that doesn’t work. You can also find Pamela’s email address in her forum profile. If you hit a 404 page there is an option to contact support and report the broken link. That being said, the guest area has a customer support link leading to a well planned support page. Password problems, technical issues, billing concerns and other requests are addressed here. You can also chat live with a customer service representative.

IMPROVEMENTS [Top]

There are a lot of things that need fixing on this website and a few annoyances. Navigation needs an overhaul, it looks very sloppy when your main nav bar doesn’t function as it should. Support links should be added to the bottom of every page, not everyone thinks to check the guest section. The forum needs to be looked at… it’s down and for how long? Maybe some site news and update information on the main page could be added, keeping the members informed. Getting rid of the exit popups would be wise, a paysite should be clean, that sort of thing is expected on free sites. It really looks like the site hasn’t had much work done on it over the summer, reminds me of a garden full of weeds. Good thing I like looking at her ass and the picture and video section is still updated.

IN SUMMARY [Top]

Always Pamela has its problems, but it also has its rewards. The site is extreme non nude, focusing on Pamela in panties. Although Always Pamela seems to be slipping, the updates remain weekly. Old shoots or new material is anyone’s guess, but content is content. With some attention and weeding, the site could bounce back and flourish. Without further ado, browse through the promo content I’ve put up, download a movie or two, and decide if Pamela is worth further inspection. Oh yea… there’s extra goodies in the Forum!
