Review:

PrivateIvy.com is the home page of Ivy Faulkner, a sexy amateur born and raised in North Carolina who has been online since 2002, operating this site "100%" by herself. And as far as individual amateur performer sites go, it's one of the better ones. There is a lot of personal involvement (camshows every Friday), an attractive site design, lots of content, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to join.

The site's design uses some kind of plant as a theme. It may be ivy. We don't know anything about plants so we couldn't tell you. But the layout is bright and clean and easy to follow. There are several major sections:

Private Pics: there were 126 photo galleries in this section, with three main types of pics: glamour (pro photography), amateur, and candids. Usually around 25-30 pics per gallery. The content here is mostly solo posing, with a bit of girl-girl. Only a couple of galleries with cock. There's also some fetish stuff thrown in (bondage, machine sex, foot fetish), but you get more of that in another part of the site (see below). The glamour pics are quite well done, but they are all around 800x600, which is a bit small.

Private Videos: the videos section is further subdivided into four sections: Amateur Videos (34), On the Set Footage (33), Live Cam Replay (13) and Bondage (11). Most of the older movies are in zip files, but she doesn't seem to be doing that anymore. Everything can be downloaded. The format used is windows media.

The main knock we had against this site is the video. Almost all of the video files are 5-10 megs, the picture quality is kind of rough, and the sound is terrible (lots of background noise, when there isn't music playing). Now, for her more recent videos it seems as though a real effort is being made to improve the technical quality. When we visited the most recent four or five amateur videos were larger files (50-100 megs) with much better playback (they took it up from 350 kb/s to 800 kb/s). Unfortunately the sound was still rough, and the production (editing, lighting, camerawork) wasn't that great either. So it still doesn't look that good. As with the photos the content is mostly solo (stripping, masturbation, toy-play), some girl-girl, and a bit of hardcore. It's nice to have some kink too with the bondage videos, but these are very small files.

Private Parts: a separate photo section full of "close-up" shots. 17 galleries when we visited. Almost all pussy shots (one nipple gallery). Actually, these aren't so much close-ups (like you get with IntheCrack, for example), as just crotch shots. And the pics aren't any bigger either.

Private Fetish: 23 photo galleries of kinky stuff: bondage, shaving, upskirt, foot fetish.

Private Confessions: this is a FAQ. There's actually more info about her on the site tour though, if you're interested.

In addition to all this there are live cam feeds, a large "Girlfriends" section, a store, and some extras like the Amateur Magazine for you to browse through. The site updates every Friday (which is the same day as Ivy's camshow). You get at least one exclusive photo gallery with an update, and sometimes two. Checking the schedule it looks like there's a new video added once a month.

Overall this is an honest effort by a dedicated amateur model. The picture size and video quality could be brought up, and don't expect any gonzo/hardcore/swinger action. But Ivy is definitely hot and the monthly membership is reasonable.
