If you’re a regular visitor of adult sites and adult-related nooks of the Web, you’ve likely come across the sharp and striking work of critically acclaimed New York photographer Richard Avery. If you ever viddied an episode of Playboy TV’s original Night Calls, entreporneur and accomplished “sexpert” Julie Ashton is already an old friend. Juliland.com is a sizably eye-catching Ashton/Avery collaboration showcasing some of sexiest porn starlets and erotic models around, in both elegantly arranged photo and short film sets. Admirers of gallery-quality work and all-around beautiful women magnificently captured on camera should definitely find this project well worth an entrance fee and looksy. 

From section to section, all of the “jGrrls” appear in multiple photo albums that highlight how hot they actually are when shot by a professional instead of a horny cameraman with a crappy camcorder. Introductory paragraphs quickly segue into sparkling full color/b&w collections that seem as if they were pulled directly from the pages of Vanity Fair and Vogue and all neatly compressed as zips. Stripping solo in artistically composed and sometimes surreal circumstances, a veritable who’s who of familiar and popular favorites include Dita Von Teese, Ariel X, Justine Joli, Charlie Laine, Taryn Thomas, Kimberly Kane, Brooke Haven, Dana DeArmond, Candy Mason, Valentina Vaughn and Brea Bennett. And that’s just a small sampling of the many more more-than-worth-your-time women filed under the nine pages comprising the “fotoland” link.

Focused around a particular theme, the MTV-style video shorts stuffed into “movieland” catch each jGrrl in streaming/downloadable QuickTime action as dark and mysterious minor note-laced electronica, trip-hop, drum n’ bass and rock-based soundtracks thump away, keeping time as the clothes come off, private parts are self-explored and each hot honey hams it up for Avery’s (and your) benefit. Although buffering and download times vary, each clip is unique enough to wait for. Some are unfortunately shorter than others, but the quality and composition make these engaging and interesting works of visual experimentation far surpass any other similarly styled stuff you’ve already seen elsewhere.

Besides a daily updated blog/newsletter, Juli offers a weekly podcast archive entitled “Hey Juli!” on which she’s already interviewed everyone from tattoo celebrity Kat Von D to the legendary Nina Hartley to bands like Buckcherry and even a load of the ladies that star on the site. A nice selection of Juli pics and various wallpapers are also tossed in under another header. As a pioneering and celebrated name in contemporary adult entertainment, Juli Ashton continues to elevate the proverbial bar, even in the overpopulated world of sites. With Juliland.com, she further shows us that there are still many creative and original elements that you can stir into the recipe to make members’ experiences that much more memorable and worth a monthly renewing.
