Model Flats
appears at first to be just one more erotic photography megasite. On
closer inspection, however, it is something much more. The concept is that
Model Flats provides apartments (flats) for aspiring fashion models who
come to Moscow from all over Russia. Model Flats members get to see these
hopeful young beauties through the all-seeing lenses of the Model Flats
photographers. The idea that Model Flats is jump-starting the careers of
these lovely models is very appealing.
Because the very rooms in which the models live are owned by Model Flats,
the site can offer a level of reality erotic photography unmatched among
megasites. The site even posts each model's growing professional
portfolio. In my opinion this is among the most exciting parts of the
site. Haven't you ever looked at a fashion model in some glossy magazine
and wished that revealing outfit was just a bit more revealing? At Model
Flats you can look at these beautiful fashion models in some very sexy
magazine shoots and then with a few clicks see them totally nude. That is
something that very few other sites offer.
On the other hand, I found that the promises of "daily reports about real
models' most intimate real life moments" were not fulfilled as much as I
would have liked. The concept of the site lends itself so well to very
personal contact between the models and members, and I think Model Flats
could have taken advantage of this fact a bit more than it does. For
example, video or text interviews with the models would be a great
addition to the site. One thing Model Flats does offer its members,
however, is the email addresses of all of its models and they promise to
reply. I have never heard of any other site offering such a service; in
fact any other complaints I may have about a lack of personal contact are
pretty much negated by the presence of this unique offering.
The entire site is organized by flat, and within each flat, by room. This
is a creative idea, and it is mostly successful; I found the navigation
and organization a bit peculiar at first, but once you are used to it,
it's really quite effective. It can be confusing because some of the flats
are not real flats; for example, the 'movie theater flat' which is the
page containing all the site's videos. The visual aspects of the site's
design are top-notch, easy on the eyes, inventive, and practical.
The content is all soft-core, but includes a surprising amount of lesbian
and girl-girl shoots in addition to the casual 'real life' photographs
that make up most of the site. The girls are only on the site because they
have been selected by fashion agencies; in other words, these are the most
beautiful girls from all over Russia. There is a nice variety in the
models as well.
All the photos (almost 40,000 at the time of this writing) are offered in
two sizes: HiRes (about 1000 x 1000: not huge, but big enough to fill most
screens) and LoRes (about 500 x 500). The over 150 films on the site are
offered in two sizes as well: 320x240 wmv, and 240x180 mov. The quality of
the videos is good, but they are quite small. However, Model Flats offers
a more expensive DVD Quality Video subscription, which, as the name
suggests, includes access to full quality versions of all the movies.
The films are well produced and generally very enjoyable. My only gripe is
that they don't use enough live sound. I find hearing the girl's voice
much more erotic than just seeing her body and hearing some bad techno
soundtrack. Visually, however, the videos are very good, and the variety
is excellent as well. Most of the videos are basically photo-shoots with a
video camera instead of a still camera, but there are also quite a few
lesbian scenes which are very successful.
On March 1st 2006, Model Flats unveiled a radical redesign, updating the
look and feel of the entire site. The site is now much more attractive and
modern in its visual appearance, and ease of use has been improved as
well. This huge redesign is a sure sign that Model Flats will be
continuously improving its offerings in the years to come.
Model Flats adds some much needed variety into the erotic photography
scene. The concept is fresh, the girls are stunning, the presentation is
excellent, and the photography is top-notch. Overall, the site deserves
some serious attention, and is well worth the comparatively dirt-cheap
membership fee.
