| Special update notice: |
February 2008:
Unfortunately it looks like Magic Laura hasn't been updated for a long time, and remains a very small site |
Pros
+ I'm going to do the same thing as I did when I reviewed two other practically identical solo girl sites last week, copy and pasty most of the text between the two reviews. No point in worker harder than I really have to. So let's get started.
Magic Laura is one of five brand new solo girl sites (launched in January 2007) that can either be joined individually or all together for around the price of two.
Each site stars a hot amateur teen girl, and Laura, another German girl, is in my opinion the best looking of the bunch. Blonde, pretty and very cute freckled face, nice body, probably the most obvious "babe" among the five (which isn't to say the other ladies aren't hot in their own right)
+ This site is still pretty small (even smaller than Magic Geena, and you might want to read about the update schedule in the cons below as well), but the photosets that are here look pretty good, though so far it's all softcore.
There's a bit of masturbation action in the videos (none of the big dildos that Geena used though), and oddly enough (well, depending on opinion of course) there are a couple of femdom videos where Laura, dressed in latex top and hotpants, plays around a bit with a black guy on his knees and with a chain around his neck. No actual sex, and personally I'm not really into this femdom stuff anyway so I don't really know what to expect from a scene like that
+ Nine of the 17 videos and four of the 22 photosets at Magic Laura feature "guest models" (on their own, not girl/girl with Laura). Usually a good thing, but on a site still this small it would probably have been better to stock up on content with the main girl first. Additionally, based on the watermark on the videos, it's not even content shot by themself (the photos may be though), but 3rd party content from another toys/lesbian site
+ Photos are available in two sizes, the largest one a huge, great looking 1696x2544. Photosets can be downloaded in a zip file as well as viewed online
+ Videos are in a pretty impressive quality as well, 640x480, 1900 kbit. Well, at least that's a pretty impressive quality on paper, in reality they looked somewhat grainy and blurry, sigificantly more than I feel they should have at that resolution and bitrate.
There was also another video problem you can read about in the cons below, but there's a fairly good chance this could be a system issue on my computer (at least I hope so, otherwise there's really no excuse for it)
+ Like with Geena you can request personal custom photos and videos from Laura by filling out a form on the site. I won't even begin to guess how much you can expect to have to pay for that, nor exactly how the billing will be handled, but I'm assuming they have a specific payment form set up for that.
I've mentioned this feature in the cons below as well, and frankly the whole thing does seem a bit odd to me, so for me personally this doesn't really belong under pros at all to be honest. But I guess it might if you're a fan of this sort of personalized stuff
Cons
- Fairly pricy if you want access to all five sites. Well, pricy compared to typical site networks anyway, objectively speaking I guess you could argue that you're getting a pretty good deal with five sites for the price of two. Unfortunately they are all quite small
- Updates have been added quickly during the first month the site was online, but if the dates on the previews of upcoming photosets and videos can be trusted (and they aren't just a sample selection with more updates in between?), the future isn't looking well for any of the "Magic Fairy Teens" sites. Only one photoset and one video a month?! That's downright horrible for any type of site and I have a very hard time believing they can't manage to shoot more content than that.
Or maybe they are relying on the average member actually paying for custom shoots? If that is in fact the case it's difficult to recommend any of these sites.
Because of the dates in the upcoming content section I've felt it necessary to base the updates score on those rather than the many additions in January
- The videos at Magic Laura were strangly jerky, very jerky, like they were recorded at a low framerate or something. The video data gathered from the files showed the usual 30 frames per second though, but even though I tried playing the videos in several different media players I got the same jerky playback every time.
Since this is pretty odd indeed, I'm inclined to believe it could be a problem with the video codecs I have installed on my computer (most media players tend to use the same system files for showing video on your screen). It's just a bit strange that I haven't seen the problem before with neither the Windows Media format nor any other video format (and additionally the "guest model" videos played as smooth as they should, same resolution, slightly lower bitrate and using the same video codecs)
