MAY 2006 RE-VISIT

This is a bit of a quick turnaround for us to do a follow-up review, but Serena let us know she'd dropped the price $10 so we went in for another look.

The thing is, this was a really new site when we did our first review and, two months later, it's still pretty new. But it is coming along nicely with updates featuring a new "shoot" being added every week. She's up to 24 shoots now. The latest one had her drooling a cum load into a glass and then using it to brush her teeth. Interesting. Other changes include:

-- a keyword code for the different shoots (eventually this should be used so that you can search by keyword, which is something you can't do now).  

-- bigger pictures (around 800x1200 in the latest set).

-- more info on the "About" page, adding a bit of personality (something we missed the first time through).

Given this review is only coming a couple of months after our last visit, we thought this was a significant improvement. There is room to grow (the Downloads page is still empty, and there haven't been any more stories added), and it's definitely not a fancy site with high production values, but it does have a lot of authentic amateur charm. You can also browse through an index of everything you're getting on the site tour, which is always a good sign. And at $19.95 a month the price is definitely a lot more reasonable. 

MARCH 2006 REVIEW

Serena Swallows is a modest little amateur site without any bells and whistles or a whole lot of content (it just launched four months prior to our visit), but it does have a sweet-faced young girl with nice natural boobs and a thing for sucking dick. Which is another way of saying things can only get better. 

The layout is pretty basic. A menu across the top links to the different sections. The first place we wanted to go was "About". That's usually where we start. Sort of get to know our hostess a bit better. Unfortunately this area wasn't very developed. It's the same page you see on the tour. Not much information, just a couple of paragraphs about how much she likes to give head and then some stats like height and weight and so forth. She says she likes biology and calculus, but doesn't say how old she is or what level she's studying these subjects at. High school? Post-grad? We also didn't have any idea what part of the world she's located in either. The U.S.? Canada? Europe? Adding to this impersonality is the fact that she really doesn't talk much in her movies (though, in her defence, she does have her mouth full half the time), there are no camshows or chats, and no diary or blog. We missed the ability to connect somehow with a real person. Amateur sites depend a lot on the personal touch, but Serena doesn't even mention if she's in a relationship. Whose cock is she working on? It seems to always be the same one, but does it belong to a husband? A boyfriend? A fan? She never says.

Another section is labeled "Downloads". We clicked on that but there was no content yet. A message says it's in progress. We're not sure what's going to go in there, but it's in progress.

The only content area is "Shoots". Each shoot consists of a high-res mpeg of around 100 megs, a low-res clip of around 30 megs, and a bunch of pics. There were only 17 shoots up when we visited, with a new one being added every week.

The content here does, in fact, mainly feature blowjobs. And Serena clearly knows her stuff. She makes good eye contact, pumps the shaft well, and hums a lot while she works. She does not, however, hold her mouth open when it gets filled with a big load of cum so she can show us all she got before gulping it all down. Most of the time it's more like she takes a facial and then licks her fingers. 

The filming is very basic, with the usual POV camera shots and fixed camera placements. There is some editing, but it's pretty crude. A fair bit of the action takes place outdoors, which was nice to see for a change. And Serena gets dressed up in some odd outfits as members request (like an angel or a nurse or Alice in Wonderland). Technical quality is quite respectable, especially for the high-res stuff being added, which looks to be formatted up around 720x480. The sound thankfully avoids canned music, but there isn't much set-up or talking going on anyway.

The pics go with the movies, but they're not just vidcaps. They are, however, quite amateur. The cameraman has trouble with lighting, especially outdoors where there can be a heavy contrast between light and dark. Some pics also look grainy, which does give them a kind of retro-artistic feel although we're sure it's unintentional. As far as size goes they are approximately 600x800. That's the best we can ballpark it. Here are the sizes for six random pics we grabbed: 711x656, 480x711, 859x726, 303x642, 466x700, 840x761. 

So far there isn't much in the way of extras. One promising feature is having Serena write a fantasy story to go with a particular shoot. There was only one of these so far, written to go with the "Elegant Sexy" video, and it was pretty good (though it is curiously written in the third person, which makes us suspect Serena perhaps had some help). But like we said, there's only one.   

Good-looking girl, exclusive content, weekly updates, and decent technical quality. But not enough content, or personality, for the premium monthly rate. It's a nice little site, but it's got a while to go before it's at the $30 a month level.
