Calling yourself a supermodel is a bit like declaring yourself a celebrity. You can't, it's the media who decide. And unless you're gracing the pages of Harpers, Vogue, or Marie Claire, you're probably not a real supermodel. She sure as hell doesn't wear her lycra pants on the outside. I don't even know if she has such underwear, or any allergy to kryptonite.
I'll put my facetious moans to one side for now, as there's a serious one to be had. This is a photographs site- yes, there's a couple of dozen short video clips, but the photos are what this site is about. And they're glorious. Gorgeous. I am salivating just thinking about them. You know there's a but coming, don't you? Whilst Ariel and the girls are as sexy as the devil knows how to make 'em, and the photography inventive, varied and interesting, showing off said girls to great effect, the photos are too small, over compressed, and comparatively low res. Both the female form and the photographer's art are getting seriously short-changed here. I could understand making them a little easier to browse through, but the zipfile downloads carry the same undersized images.
Rant over. Let me stress, I wouldn't be anywhere near so frustrated if not for the source material having so much promise. There's an indie-goth-fetish slant to many of the images, and they're situated towards the softer end of the spectrum. Very little penetration to see, though some of the girls get very friendly with each other. The videos I mentioned in passing, are a delightful bonus, and perhaps I'm damning with faint praise there, but do download them- I adored the lighter side of Ariel being revealed in the interviews, I'm sure you will too, even if they are a bit undersized for broadband. Same goes for the weekly-ish blog, and the forum in which your model and hostess posts frequently.
