The big 2008 Babes and Toys update

Is it time for my 2008 update yet?

As you’ve no doubt noticed if you’ve looked around a bit here at Babes and Toys - and as I have pointed out in several of my previous and very infrequent posts - this blog is really not an active project anymore, for that I’ll still have to point you in direction of my review site.

In any case, since this blog is still getting several hundred daily visitors, I figured I would take the opportunity to make a brief summary of what’s happened over the last 6+ months on some of my favourite lesbian and solo babe masturbation sites.
This is gonna be a pretty long one, but out of consideration for the easily bored (I’ll let you decide whether to put the blame on a short attention span or my writing) I’ve added headlines so you can quickly skip right ahead to what you figure you might be interested in reading.

FTV Girls
Still one of the absolute best toys/masturbation sites out there, though several others (see below) have admittedly been getting just as much or more of my attention here in 2008.
FTV Girls nevertheless remains extremely strong with its huge video and photo updates, consisting of several different scenes within each update, shot in several locations, usually starring one girl, but on rare occasions we still see an extremely hot lesbian update.
As I mentioned in my last post in December last year, FTV Girls are now also releasing all their new video updates in what is arguably the currently highest quality on any porn site - 1440×1080 (a letterbox widescreen format, meaning not quite full 1080p HD) at a staggering 8000 kbit. Lower qualities are obviously still available if you don’t have an Internet connection that’s particularly fond of dealing with several Gigabytes of video in each update.

Club Sandy and Pix & Video
I can never get enough of all the insanely hot Hungarian and Czech babes, and 21Sextury are in my opinion overall still the best provider in that department.
Their two flagship sites Club Sandy and Pix & Video are bigger than ever, and both thoroughly huge, with Club Sandy currently at well over 700 videos and photosets and Pix & Video now clocking in at a mindblowing 1400+ videos and photosets thanks to their regular like clockwork daily video and photoset updates since late 2003 (at Club Sandy they alternate between videos and photosets).

Club Sandy is still my favourite of the two - mainly because Sandy herself is still starring in several updates every month (and lend, or share, the remaining time with the other 200+ Eurohotties on the site).
Pix & Video also still has slightly heavier focus on hardcore guy/girl scenes than CS, though there’s certainly no shortage of lesbian and solo updates either, which in fact still make up for the majority of the content.

Both sites got a much needed video quality upgrade last year and while it’s still not nearly a match for the high bitrate HD quality that’s starting to appear on an increasing number of sites, it certainly doesn’t look half bad and is perfectly suitable for full screen viewing even on a fairly large monitor (I’m on a 22″ myself).

The two sites now also have an extensive and somewhat complex (confusing might be a better word actually) bonus site system, where you get access to two other 21Sextury sites each month you remain a member (if you plan on taking advantage of that, make sure you don’t choose one of the non-recurring membership options, which will have you starting all over again saving up bonus months when/if you rejoin after the membership expires).
Various discounted two site memberships are also available (I’m currently on a combined CS and P&V membership, as I’ve been several times before).

ALS Scan
Another site with lots of gorgeous Eurobabes (all with small to medium sized natural tits and clean shaven pussies All Ladies Shaved) playing with themselves and each other.
Despite a minor overhaul to the site design recently, the tour pages in particular still look scarily old style. Don’t let that fool you though - the babes certainly aren’t, updates are coming every day, the content archives are huge and the technical quality on recent content is some of the best out there, with near poster sized and razor sharp photos and full 720p HD video at 4000 kbit.

Aside from the sexy ladies themselves, quite a lot of the content in shot in beautiful and exotic outdoors locations.
Fans of lesbian and solo fisting will also likely find ALS Scan one of the best sites on offer (though the sites above have their fair share of fisting content as well), and I believe this is actually the only site where the very popular and utterly gorgeous Czech babe Nella has been on the receiving end of another girl’s fist. In several videos and photosets.

Sapphic Erotica
Still arguably the best and largest dedicated lesbian site, if you - to copy a sentence I believe I’ve used about the site several times before, probably even in my review - prefer your lesbian porn of the intimate and loving kind (something that does also apply to a lot of the girl/girl content on the other sites mentioned in this blog post).

Sure, if you’ve been a Sapphic Erotica member one or several times before, the scenes might start to look a bit too formularic - and you might also find yourself longing for revisits from some of the old Sapphic Erotica superstars. Girls like Eve Angel, Jo, Peaches, Zafira and several others have stopped by a few times over the last couple of years though, but Nella - or Jackie as she’s called on Sapphic Erotica - has unfortunately been a bit absent since her many appearances in 2004 and 05.
The “old” girls have been replaced by a wealth of new, younger models though, so unless you’re a die hard fan of certain girls (like I am), you probably won’t bemoan the loss (and since none of the girls I mentioned have actually retired completely, they can still occasionally be seen in new content at particularly Club Sandy and Pix & Video, or in the case of Nella, at ALS Scan or her own official site).

And of course if you’re a first time member - and for some of you, second, third and fourth for that matter - you should find yourself in lesbian heaven at Sapphic Erotica.
800+ beautiful, natural girls in 640+ videos and 1140+ photosets. Content updates seven days a week and fantastic 960×540, 2000 kbit video quality on most videos since 2005.

1 By Day
I haven’t written about this insanely huge site here at Babes and Toys before - in fact I only just reviewed it in December, giving it the second highest score I’ve handed out so far.
Like Pix & Video and to a slightly lesser extent Club Sandy, 1 By Day can adequately be described as a Eurobabe megasite (there are some models that aren’t from Eastern Europe, but most are, which you certainly won’t hear me complaining about), and dating back to 2001, it actually dwarfs both those sites by quite a margin.
It also features content in the same niches (solo, lesbian and hardcore guy/girl, in a roughly 70/20/10 percent split) and with a similar glamour style.

1 By Day got an extensive overhaul last year, effectively splitting the site into two sections - the old archives retaining the old design and video/photo quality that (obviously) gets progressively worse as you go back in time towards 2001, and the new 1 By Day & 1 By Night section with two daily updates (in recent months one of them has generally been a reencoded version of an old popular content set in higher quality), and improved site interface and full 720p, 4000 kbit quality on the new video content.

The new and old sections combined hold a massive total of over 3000 videos and photosets with more than 900 girls - covering everything from very early Sophie Moone and Sandy content in the oldest archives, over brand new solo and lesbian videos with up and commers like Black Angelica and Juliana Grandi (they have some insane, new anal fisting videos with Juliana) to five exclusive 2007 softcore solo videos and photosets with my all time favourite glamour babe Aria Giovanni (fans will know that video content with Aria, aside from old stuff from Danni.com and very short clips from her own official site, is quite a rarity).
