Overview:
Sunny Leone - you know her! She’s the only Indo-Canadian pornstar that I know of that has been a Penthouse Pet of the Year. Not only that, she’s also a businesswoman who was raised Sikh by her Indian-born parents. Sunny (or Karen, as her folks call her) moved to the USA and immediately began experimenting sexually, losing her virginity a year later to a basketball player from another school and discovering that she was bisexual at age 18. Through a friend of a friend, Karen found herself in the position to take up an offer of modeling for Penthouse. When deciding what her stage name should be, she said that Sunny was her “real name” and that Penthouse head honcho Bob Guccione picked Leone as her new surname. After initially only working in photographic porn and lesbian hardcore, in 2007 Sunny dove into full-on male/female fuck flicks with her then fiancée Matt Erikson. That arrangement wouldn’t last very long, however, as she and Erikson parted company just over a year later. Since then, Sunny has gone on to fuck such notable cockmonsters as Tommy Gunn, James Deen, and Charles Dera. Her career hasn’t just become dirtier over time, but more respectable, too. Sunny is now a writer, producer, and director of porn movies, as well as the head of the brand new online venture Sunny Leone dot com (which just happens to be the subject of this review). (Before we continue, I feel compelled to quell any rumors of makeshift checkbook journalism by disclosing that Sunny Leone has at no time engaged in penetrative intercourse or sexual intimacy of any kind with any Mr. Pink’s employees or representatives…which really, really sucks.)

Sunny’s website’s tour page is one of the most striking and attractive that I can recall seeing in all my years miring in the lower-ranks of the porn industry. With so many poorly designed pages out there, Sunny should feel proud that hers is immediately pleasing to the eye (kinda like she is) and, most importantly, makes the viewer want to see more. Her claims to fame – Vivid Contract Star and Penthouse Pet of the Year – sit near the top of the page, surrounded by a swirling cosmos of color and light that implies Sunny Leone is a gift from the heavens made human by some unknown deity. Hopefully the rest of her site confirms that. Newcomers will see plenty of images that tease and tantalize as well as show exactly how Sunny makes her living: by sucking dick, getting fucked, and eating pussy. The site allegedly updates weekly and contains videos and galleries by “famous photographers and videographers and Sunny's homemade porn movies too!” Sounds good, doesn’t it? Let’s log in and see how things go.

Sunny Leone’s members’ area isn’t as flashily designed as the tour page, but still looks fairly good. There are a ton of preview pics all set to work you into a tizzy, as well as some banners that direct you to other sites on which Sunny appears. Her web store, online auctions, and video-on-demand service are all advertized here, too. Most of your navigational mouse-clicks will take place at the very top of each page, where you’ll find the a menu that contains direct links to Home, Videos, Pictures, Live Feeds, Bonus, and Blog sections of the site. The newest additions to the content archive are on display here on the Home page, each with a preview image and usually both a title and date of upload (although sometimes only one or the other). The Pictures update section also allows you to view only Glamour, Amateur, Girlfriends, or Candid shoots, if you desire. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like updates are still being made on a strict weekly schedule. There aren’t too many large gaps, though, so most people will probably be forgiving of this, especially if they’re big time Sunny fans - and judging by what she gets up to in the galleries and videos, it’s hard to believe someone might think this particular pro-slut isn’t one of the best in the industry.

Inside the Video area there are currently 215 scenes waiting to be devoured. You can see which ones are the most popular thanks to the listed number of Views Today, but really, you’ll be relying on your personal taste to figure out which ones you want to watch first. The presented thumbnails give a pretty good indication of what’s in store for each movie and, as soon you click on said thumbnail, you’ll be treated to a full-length streaming presentation of the scene. This video stream looks pretty good, but if you value quality over immediacy you’ll want to download the WMV or MPG video linked on the left side of this viewing page. At a resolution of 720x406, the WMV doesn’t look exceptionally great, but is certainly good enough for most users. You’ll also find that older videos are online only in MPG format at a resolution of about 352x240 pixels, and look pretty unimpressive. Hopefully there’s a site-wide video upgrade in the near future. Sunny Leone must surely know how lucrative High Definition porn is these days, so I’ve got my fingers crossed that we’ll see some on the site within the next year.

Sunny’s photographic content is roughly of equal quality to her videos. The four sections – Glamour, Amateur, Girlfriends, and Candid – are pretty self-explanatory, but I should point out that only Glamour and Girlfriends seem to hold any hardcore content. Where the Glamour shots all look highly professional and ready for publication in a premiere adult magazine, the Amateur galleries are defined by their homemade feel. Whether shot at the beach, in her bedroom, or in the California desert, these Amateur shots present a slightly different Sunny than you might be used to seeing. Girlfriends pictures show Sunny getting it on with some spicy female co-stars or simply stepping back and allowing one of said co-stars to take the spotlight for a moment. Unfortunately, many of the galleries here seem to be taken from outside sources and are not 100% original content. The only photo shoots that do seem totally unique to Sunny’s site are those in the Candid section. Thankfully, the photo resolutions are generally quite high, regularly reaching 1024 pixels plus. They’re also available for viewing in an automated slideshow presentation, although no zips are online.

As I’m sure most of you are aware, Sunny Leone is a queen in the porn industry. She is treated with the utmost respect and admiration from her peers, employers, and fans, and that’s due to two things: her good business sense and her incredible fucking skills. The latter are certainly on display here at her website, especially in the hardcore content. You’ll see Sunny go to town on a girlfriend or two, eating pussy and engaging in lots of hot breast play. You’ll also find a healthy portion of male/female scenes in which Sunny shows off her great cock handling talents. She sucks dick like a champion and obviously loves to get fucked hard, and she manages to do all of this without ever forgetting that she has an audience and is engaged in a performance. Sunny is truly a joy to watch.

For those fans that want more, there are the Live Feeds, Bonus, and Blog pages. Sunny semi-regularly performs live cam shows for her fans, which you can check out on the Live Feeds page, along with an archive of past shows. Sunny’s blog is a little bare, but you’ll find out about all her upcoming appearances and any special events that members might want to know about. The Bonus page directs you to seven video and photo feed pages that cover genres like lesbians, college girls, MILFs, sex machines, and Ron Jeremy - he’s a genre, right? Membership will set you back $29.92 for 30 days, or you test the site out with a three-day trial membership for $4.99. If you’re still not convinced that Sunny’s back to her A-game, take a gander at these pros and cons. If they don’t clarify it for you, nothing will.

Pros:
- Sunny Leone’s site is beautifully designed with a fantastic tour area!

- Newer photos reach high resolutions and look fantastic.

- There’s a good mix of lesbian, hetero, amateur, professional, and candid content here.

- Sunny Leone is one of the best pornstars in the biz – no question.

Cons:
- Updates are a little shaky and don’t always arrive when they should.

- Older content tends to suffer from low resolutions and poor bitrates.

- Only one video download option per scene? Bah! Plus, I had a hard time downloading more than one video at a time.

- I would love to see more hardcore boy/girl scenes on the site. At the time of my review, there was only a little more than a handful.

- Besides the occasional live cam show, there’s not a lot of fan/star interaction on this site. The blog could use some personalizing.

Conclusion:
Sunny Leone, I love you. You’re beautiful, smart, business-savvy, and love a good, hard shafting (which I’m more than happy to provide, should you ever have a dry spell or want a change of pace). Not only that, but you’re bisexual and not afraid to show it. Watching you get your rocks off with men and women is truly exciting and your performances add a lot to the scenes. Sunny, the site, I gotta say, looks pretty damn good - the tour page is especially slick and inviting – but the inside could use a little prettying up. I hope you’re getting ready to add some High Definition videos and zip archives for your photo galleries, as well as trying to stabilize your update schedule, because, if you can pull that off, I’ll be ever so proud of you. Hell, I’ll even pony up the dough and renew my membership.
