Gucci Girls Review
Date Published: Apr 04, 2006Gucci LaMour is supposedly the official website of a "world renowned photographer" Gucci LaMour, though I honestly never heard of him. As you may have guessed from looking at the tour, this site is basically your generic porn star / glamour model package riding on airbrushed photos and familiar faces like Miko Lee, Hannah Harper, Janine Lindemulder, and Dani Woodward. The site is run by 413 Dollars, a company owned by Kelly Madison and her hubby Ryan, so signing up to this site will also give you bonus access to some of their other sites including Kelly Madison, Lanna Lotts, XXX Aspen, and Topless Pussy.
Have I Seen These Glossy Pics Before?
If you're into glamour pics reminiscent of Penthouse or airbrushed Matrix content, you'll probably not mind what you'll find inside Gucci Lamour. Recent photos are decently sized at 1000x670, though older photos are only about 720x464. They don't offer ZIP downloads, but you can browse the pics using slideshows, which isn't bad. The photographs look exclusive, since they all have the same look and feel to them like they were shot by the same guy, but overall they look bland. Many of the photos also look overcompressed.
Don't Feed The Models
The 60+ babes featured in this site are your run of the mill glamour models and porn stars, which you might enjoy if you're a fan. Some recognizable girls include Lanny Barby, Mercedes, Kelly Madison, Nikki Benz, Charlie, Jelena Jensen, and Jilly Kelly, just to name a handful.
Videos - How Do I get Em To Play?
The videos are encoded in either QuickTime or WMV. QT versions featuring Mercedes looked pretty decent at 320x240, and some videos came at a larger 400x300 resolution. In general, though, videos I found were encoded at 160x120 with terribly low frame rate and heavy pixellation. Each clip is 3 ~ 5 minutes long, some longer scenes divided into several clips.
My biggest gripe with the videos is some clips require a VoxWare Metasound audio codec, which WMP won't install on its own. I emailed customer service about this, and they emailed me back a few hours later, but their email was a pre-packaged reply that never really tried to address my question.
After some digging around, I found the right codec on some god-forsaken web page and installation instructions., which is basically this:
- Unzip vox.zip.
- Right click on voxacm.inf and select install.
The codec allows me to hear psychedelic acid house / techno background soundtracks which are usually cool except during explicit sex scenes where you don't hear any moaning at all.
The videos range from softcore solo scenes and lesbian sexplay to generic hardcore scenes. Nothing really extraordinary, especially when the video quality just dont cut the mustard.
Retro Look on the same Kelly Madison Engine
Gucci Girls looks a little dated. The site runs on the same engine as kellymadison.com, just a different skin. The layout is identical too, with a photo section, video section, updates section, and a model index. One good thing I'll say is this site doesn't sport any upsells to other paysites, which is a rare find these days.
Final Judgement
There's nothing seriously wrong with Gucci Girls if you got access to it as a bonus site to Kelly Madison, but if you signed up to this site looking for Earl Miller or Suze Video type quality deal, you'll be dissappointed even though the price is pretty cheap.
