Somewhat mediocre video quality has always been just about my one and only complaint about my two favourite Eurobabe sites, Club Sandy and Pix & Video.
Well, they recently disposed of that nagging issue by giving the video quality – on content added since August 2008 – a major boost from 640×480, 1000 kbit (which was itself a slight improvement implemented last year) to 720p HD (1280×720) at 3000+ kbit.
These new videos don’t merely look razor sharp on my 22″ PC monitor, but also fantastic on my 40″ HDTV on which I find myself watching an increasing amount of downloaded porn, now that HD is becoming more widespread (see my previous blog post, and the end of this one, for several other examples).

Aside from the vastly improved video quality, Club Sandy and Pix & Video are now also part of a full fledged site network where you get access to over 30 other sites in a range of niches. I won’t go into detail here, if you want to know more about the network I recommend you read my recent 21Sextury Network review at my review site.
You’ll find links to individual Club Sandy and Pix & Video reviews there as well. Or alternatively you can of course just head straight over to the two sites by clicking the pics below – their redesigned tours allow you to browse model and content archives.

And to finish off this post, I mentioned in passing above that I would suggest a few other HD sites. As said I already listed several in my previous post, but at the time I overlooked the fact that Sapphic Erotica actually also made the switch to 720p HD earlier this year (though oddly enough they still aren’t advertising this on their tour pages, you would think it would be something to brag about).

Additionally ALS Scan pulled off an arguably even more impressive feat just this month, by adding a full 1080p (1920×1080), 8000 kbit version of new videos in addition to the 720p (and lower) versions they were already offering.
The other site from the same people, ALS Angels did the same thing, but additionally added the 1080p version on all new video content added in 2008.
You can read more about ALS Angels in my new review.

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.

Read more in my FTV Girls review here (last updated May 21 2008, this blog post written June 22).

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).

Read more in my Club Sandy review here and my Pix & Video review here (both updated February 27 2008).

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.

Read more in my ALS Scan review here (last updated May 21 2008).

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).

My favourite DVD download site VideoBox has been getting a pretty large design overhaul over the last couple of months, and the new improved site interface members have had access to for a while can now also be seen on the “tour” (guests actually have full access to browse the entire site, only downloads and a few account specific features are turned off).
I updated my review of VideoBox earlier this month, so I won’t bother going into details about the interface changes here as well.

The more important thing is that VideoBox continues to grow with five new full DVDs every single day, so the total collection of downloadable adult DVDs is now at more than 3,200 – or a total of no less than over 18,000(!) individual 10-40 minute scenes in more than 30 different categories/niches.

The categories relating to the topics here at Babes and Toys aren’t among the most well stocked or most frequently updated (anal is the winner there, along with the more general categories “straight sex” and “gonzo”), but with currently 1,196 lesbian scenes, 660 masturbation scenes and 1,623 toy scenes (the last group obviously overlapping with the two first, and including some hardcore guy/girl videos you may or may not have an interest in), it’s safe to say that VideoBox dwarfs even some of the largest specialized sites in those niches (ie. Sapphic Erotica, FTV Girls and ALS Scan – although as you would expect when the many videos come from a bunch of different porn studios, the quality is obviously a lot more uneven. A lot of really hot scenes, but also a lot of crap – and a whole bunch somewhere in between.

VideoBox still has the strong selling points that make it the only site yet to receive a 100/100 review score from me though (and that was even before the new design update).

1) It’s huge (the largest of its kind), particularly if you care about more than just the solo girl and lesbian videos

2) The highest of the four available video qualities is excellent, full DVD resolution at 720×480, 2200+ kbit

3) Extremely powerful site interface, making it easy to search for, sort, bookmark and download exactly what you want. You can even “cut” partial scenes with a drag-and-drop screenshot system

4) The price is still among the lowest for any kind of porn site. $9.95 a month if you can live without the highest video quality (you’ll have to do with 480×352, 800+ kbit, decent but not great), $14.95 if you want the full package (or $9.95 if you go with the ten months discounted offer)

5) Obviously no download limitations of any kind

Click here to check out the video archives at VideoBox. Pick your category in the menu on the left and in the right hand corner choose to browse either the DVDs or the individual scenes (I recommend the latter) in the category, sorted by either date or popularity.
As mentioned you can freely browse the entire site if you should feel so inclined, and there are some sample video clips (clearly labelled) mixed into the scene listings.

There’s rarely any shortage of new lesbian fisting videos at ALS Scan – and after the recent quality upgrades (read more about those in my updated review), now not “just” in DVD quality any more, but several of them in full HD at 1280×720, 3500+ kbit.

30 new videos were added in June (and 21 photosets, but I tend to spend most of my time with the videos at ALS Scan) – a mix of solo masturbation and lesbian sex as usual – and no less than ten of those featured lesbian fisting with two or three girls, and two other videos were solo fisting scenes.

A few of the gorgeous clean shaven ladies appearing in all these new fisting videos include popular and frequently visiting ALS babes like Nella (I can just never get enough of that girl), Zuzana (beautiful and sweet Czech babe), Carli Banks, Sophie Moone and Sandy.

Here are two free sample lesbian video galleries from my favourite girl/girl site, Sapphic Erotica. Needless to say neither the length of these clips nor the quality is a match for the full videos running around 20 minutes and in better-than-DVD 960×540, 2000 kbit format (for some reason it says 640×480 in one of these supposedly fairly new galleries, but they made the switch to the much higher quality more than a year and a half ago).

The gorgeous Jackie (or Nella as she calls herself on most other sites these days, including her new official site which I reviewed two weeks ago) is remains one of my favourite babes at Sapphic Erotica and here she is in three lesbian movie samples with another Eurohottie, the blonde Dorina.

Lesbian group sex – both threesomes and foursomes – is quite a common sight at Sapphic Erotica, and since I’ve already started talking about Jackie/Nella, why not another one with this Czech babe. Here she is playing fisting instructor to a new inexperienced teen babe, while another Sapphic Erotica regular, Rene, willingly accepts a full hand into her shaved pussy.

:: Site info ::
Sapphic Erotica is the largest lesbian site on the web with currently more than 490 intimate girl/girl movies and 940+ large photosets (more than 100,000 photos total). A new video or photoset is added every day.
Video quality since 2005 has been between DVD and HD quality at 960×540, 2000 kbit.

A site I’ve only written about a few times before here at Babes and Toys, but which I gave a well deserved 97/100 score in my review back in October (updated last month) and still keeps a recurring membership to, is ALS Scan.
I’m gonna save myself a little bit of time here and just post a quote from my review:

“…You can add ALS Scan (All Ladies Shaved) to the list of spectacular (and in this case fairly extreme and very varied) sites covering the full range of dildo and hardcore lesbian fun. The site design might look a bit too much like 90s leftovers, but the video and photo content is incredibly hot and constantly updated, the 170+ clean shaven ladies gorgeous and the technical quality great.
This one goes straight to my list of personal favourites.”

Today’s new video features one of my favourite Czech babes, the beautiful Nella, a girl I’ve mentioned several times before, mainly in connection with Sapphic Erotica where she uses the name Jackie, but also Club Sandy and Twistys where she’s quite popular.
In this video Nella teams up with the cute blonde Liv – both are regulars at ALS Scan, and they have been in several videos together before over the last three or four years.
As before the result is incredibly hot – Liv licks and fists Nella to a fantastic orgasm as she has done in past videos, and Nella once again proves that she’s one of the most passionate and sensual ladies in girl/girl porn.

The new video is 16 minutes long, and with the recent video quality upgrade at ALS Scan from 640×480 to 720×540, 1800+ kbit, the video isn’t just hot but also very near full DVD quality.

Adorable little Jo has been among my favourite Hungarian babes for the last couple of years. Angelic face, cute smile, tight little body and she always seems to genuninely love having sex with other girls. And given that she seems to be starring in just about every other Viv Thomas (producer/director particularly famed for his many very intimate lesbian movies) video they show on Playboy TV, I guess I’m probably not the only one fan she’s got.

Jo has died her blonde hair dark lately, which partially rids her of her innocent looks (guess that might have been why she did it), but that’s not really stopping her from still looking sexy and cute as hell.

Jo has been a frequent visitor at the “sister” sites Club Sandy and Pix & Video since 2004, starring in 16 videos and 12 photosets at the former and 25 videos and 22 photosets at the latter. On the 15 and 16th of March she was back with a new photoset and video at Club Sandy, this time together with a relative newcomer, Ginger B., who (as you would expect) fits right into the stable of around 300 Eurobabes the two sites share.

The new video and photoset are pretty hot. Not the hottest lesbian scene Jo has done for the two sites (some of them are pretty hard to beat afterall, like the ones she has done with Sandy, Eve Angel, Sophie Moone and Anetta Keys for instance), but still pretty damn good.

I haven’t been around for a while – after attempts at keeping this blog as well as a few other ones alive (and then there’s that Eurobabe Heaven project that’s gone somewhat… well, stagnent seems to be the word I’m looking for here , it’s still up and running though, and I won’t rule out I might add more model pages in the future), I think it’s safe to say that my review site (now at 146 paysite reviews, with 10-15 new ones added every month) remains my main focus by a large margin.

Sometimes I do run into something a bit out of the ordinary that inspires me to write here or elsewhere again, like I’m doing just now.
So what peeked my interest this time then? Oh, just what has to be one of the most extreme videos (with accompanying photoset as usual) ever released at Club Sandy – and it’s not like there isn’t something to compete with in there, with all those more or less extreme toy and lesbian videos.

This time however, three lovely blondes – site hostess Sandy accompanied by Dorina and Clara G. – are kicking things up a notch. Fisting has been on the menu many times before at Club Sandy, but they are really pushing it bit further than usual this time.

In the video “The Massage Parlour – part I” (I’m obviously assuming there’s gonna be a part two in the not too distant future as well) Sandy and Clara have either Dorina’s or each other’s fists completely buried in their pussies for a large part of the show. I didn’t time it, but I think Clara in particular was getting fisted in at least 10-15 minutes of the 30 minute video, and Sandy wasn’t far behind – more often than not fisted at the same time with either both of Dorina’s hands very busy, or Clara simultaneously receiving and giving.
For some reason the plentyful fisting sequences weren’t included in the photoset – which is a bit odd since videos and photosets usually match up pretty well at Club Sandy (based on the occasional behind the scenes videos, photos are shot separately first, followed by the video). Since it was “part 1″, I imagine this might change in the next part, but otherwise the videos tend to be what I spend 90% of my Club Sandy time with anyway.

With well over 450 videos and photosets in the archives at Club Sandy, the daily updates can occasionally get a bit repetitive, even in spite of the more than 200 girls on the site and the mix of lesbian, solo and hardcore guy/girl content, but updates like The Massage Parlour certainly helps spicing things up a bit now and then.

Here’s my Club Sandy review if you’re interested in the details on the site.
