 Tight body, even tan, perky tits…there's not much bad you can say about Shelby Belle, making ShelbyBelle.com one of those rare "one girl, many guys" sites that's easy to recommend. It also helps that the main chunk of the site features other porn stars (Judy Star, Alicia Rhodes, Gauge, Taylor Rain, etc.) as much or more than Shelby herself. The front page after logging in is clearly more of a network advertisement than a welcome mat to all-things Shelby. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom and then sort through thumbnails of other chicks to find the first snippets of Shelby content. The subtle navigation bar across the top can take you more directly to her stuff, but I would have preferred a more personal and specific intro screen.
 However, the network and bonuses aren't to be scoffed at. Nearly every genre is covered, though some of the same videos show up on different sites, depending on which genres they fall into. MyFirstCumBath.com was a bit confusing, though, since it sounds like a bukkake site but is actually more firmly entrenched in the realm of cum cocktails. In any case, you get access to 27 sites with names like Beach Club Cuties, Blow Job Auditions, Camel Toe Auditions, Hand Job Auditions, Knocked up Nikki, Lil'Sin, and We Fuck In Public. Among them all, I did encounter a few broken links or places it said my login was invalid, but by and large, things worked quite well.
 Photos are typically all available for thumbnail browsing and zip archive downloads. The images are around 800x600 (with screen capture sets being smaller), so they're not huge, but the file sizes are more manageable and download more quickly as a result. The confusing thing was that videos do NOT come in an all-in-one format. You'll be downloading between two and eight separate clips for each whole scene, having to close out and reopen the next scene just when things start heating up. Kind of annoying, and easily fixable I would think.
 The Windows Media format goods are pretty fun to watch. There's enough variety to keep anyone happy, and the pace was such that I almost never skipped ahead. These scenes are like the Chinese fire drills of porn, with everyone steadily switching positions and orifices. The file sizes here are very reasonable, too, averaging about 40MB per clip, but multiply that times as many as eight separate sections and it starts to hit closer to 150-200MB for a whole scene, start to finish.
 The addition of other faces to the mix could be seen as needed variety or as a watering down of a more pure Shelby Belle experience, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, the enthusiasm, panache, and prowess of the participants made everything a joy to watch. Add to that a $5 three-day trial and you've got practically nothing to lose by giving it a try.
