A little over a year ago, we reviewed SFBayModels.com. Back then there were some site issues, navigational issues, etc. But the website has gone through a complete site redesign, so today we are going to review SFBayModels.com again.I’m going to break into my thoughts in a moment, but here is the email we received from the site owner:
I think it’s been about a year since you last reviewed — lots has happened. I redesigned the site, it’s looked sleeker than ever. The members area is also completely redesigned allowing for quicker navigation and ease-of-download.
There’s HD Videos now as well, with nearly 250 models in 2300 galleries, over 350,000 photos and over 100 hours of video.
Still having 5-8 updates every single day and still 100% exclusive stuff.
While I did not get a chance to navigate through the old site, the new website does appear to have very few navigational problems. There is currently no search option, but you get to see 40 models per page (large thumbnails) and you can always “control-F” to find the model on the page. There is also a recent update section, as well as a FAQ/Help section. All three (the model section, support section, and update section) can be seen when you log in.
Pros:
– Many updates
– Videos (both HD and Standard) that accompany each shoot.
– Retouched photos of many of the models.
– Models that you will rarely see anywhere else.
– Many Asian women.
– Several galleries of each model.
Cons:
– Few touched up photos
– No search feature.
– Not the type of models that you see on other sites (more in a moment)
– Standard videos come in .flv format, which are very hard to open.
– Not all Asian models.
– Gallery photos sometimes in weird orders.
– Not all nude
Overall Impressions:
I’m on the fence about SFBayModels.com. On the one hand, few of the models are spectacular – part of this is because the photos are not touched up, so if a model has a little bit of acne on her back (as even some of the most beautiful models in the world do) you will see it when you check out the photos. In addition, most of the photosets have a regular background, and while the models have some nice poses, many of the photos are the same in each gallery.
On the other hand, while few of the models look “model like,” that by no means implies that they are not pretty. They are often the type of girl that I would gladly check out from across the bar, simply for being pretty – just not the type of girl I would expect to see modeling. In addition, untouched up photos have their appeal. There is something a little fun about seeing a photo that doesn’t feel like a modeling photo. There is a reason that those “ex girlfriend” sites are so successful – it feels as though you are seeing a photo that maybe you were not supposed to be seeing, and that’s exciting.
Also, while I did not get a chance to see the videos (no flv player), I will say that if you check out the opening video when you visit the site, those videos do seem to be fun to watch.
With easier navigation, a great deal of updates, and videos that are enjoyable, and that “ex girlfriend” appeal, there are many people that will be fond of the new SFBayModels website. For others, it may not be the site for you.
Here are some of the models that I like. They may be featured here in the future as well.
