First impression

This is one of those sites where you're overloaded upon logging in. That's definitely a good thing. I want to know I'm getting plenty of content for the money I spend. Everything looks very professional, including the hot girls. Looks to be pretty good.

Our opinion

Okay, there is a lot of content here. To give you a clue, here's what you see upon login: "You last logged in on X Date at X Time. Since your last visit with us, there have been 11154 new pictures and 13 new video clips added." And it's not throwaway content, either. I'll dive right in.

First up is the model index. Here, they list the 250+ models by name, by category or by thumbnailed images. If you know some names, go for the text based system. If you're looking for someone new, browse the other two methods. You can also use the quick search in the upper right for faster access to a particular model.

I like the way this is all set up. There are nice tabs and columns set up using white and various shades of pink to differentiate. Also, it really gives you a good sense of depth and breadth in the models. It would be great if the category system worked more as a search engine than as a thumbnail gallery as the topics are relatively broad. You can search through the centerfold types, the amateurs, erotic film stars, bumble girls, Brazilian or Czech girls. I'm not sure what bumble girls means, exactly, since they are not exclusive to this site. Perhaps they are just the leftovers. Hot leftovers at that.

Choose a model and you're on your way. Once again, you're treated to a consistently nice layout. There's a master image on the left of the model with stats/measurements underneath as well as a listing of all the non-picture set content available for that girl. This can include videos, interviews, wallpapers, etc. More on that later. On the right side, are the photosets for the model, arranged in order from most pictures to the least (upwards of 100 to 2). Some of these girls have a ton of sets to go through. It all depends on how long they've been on the site and in the game, really. The more established and recognizable, the more likely it is that there will be more content.

The picture sets themselves don't appear to be always be in chronological/sequential order. They'll start out with full nudes and then regress to the clothing. For those that like the slow build, you may not always have the option available, unless you save and reorder them yourself. At least the navigation within the sets are well done and should be clear to the regular user. It's also done within the site itself and retains the look and layout of the site. That's becoming rarer these days, it seems.

The pictures come in a nice, standardized size that virtually fills the browser frame. What could be better is the quality. Not only in the resolution (you can obviously see the gradients in shading -- although some of the finer details shine through), but also in the photography itself. The sets were professionally made, there's no doubt about that. However, too many of the sets are a little too overexposed for my tastes. Maybe I'm a perfectionist. The color balance is a little off at times as well. Instead of fleshtones, it registers more orange. This very well could be a conscious decision, but it's not one I agree with. Otherwise, the pictures are great. The backgrounds compliment the subject very well and the contrasting colors really make the model pop out even more. There's life to them rather than using a drab, basic backdrop. This is how it should be.

The videos, however, leave something to be desired. When in the video section, pay close attention to the resolution size. Some of them are very, very small to the point of being the size of a postage stamp on the screen. The download speeds seemed slow to me for such short clips. You won't find anything too much larger than 5 minutes (if you get that high). Most of the videos look professional, but suffer from bad compression rates and lack crisp detail. The camerawork isn't too jarring most of the time and focuses on what you'd want to focus on. A couple videos I saw looked like they were taken directly from a vhs home movie. Luckily, that's a rare occassion. Still, the videos hardly live up to the picture sets.

Next up are all the special features. Like I said, you can get the wallpapers if you want. You can read the interviews, too. They aren't insightful, and are pretty standard "what's your favorite" chit-chat stuff. I'd be more interested in going more in depth and finding out their personality. Maybe even learn more about modeling from them. Ah well. You can also check out pictures from behind the scenes (set up in polaroid format). There's nothing all that great here either. There's a Best Friends section that features two naked girls for the price of one. There aren't too many of these photo sets, and the action goes no further than groping. It is two naked girls, and neither of them are lifeless, so it could be worse (also could be better/more erotic). Bumblecam is an area that offers you partnered sites' streaming content. If you want the hardcore stuff, here it is. There're the basic links section as well, which oddly enough doesn't link to pornographic sites. Strange. The best part of this section are the member polls. It asks your opinion on many different topics to really shape the site. I love when a site shows interest in its members like this.

Bumblebuzz is where to go for all the articles and columns and site news you might want. This is worthwhile information that warrants at least a glance. They explain why they conduct business in the manner they do and explain the rates in very simple terms. You can also find erotic stories and sex advise in this section. Once again, they aren't bad reads and they are exclusive. I've seen and read worse.

Conclusion

Now, Mac and Bubmle focuses primarily on professional, established glamour models. You won't find the big video names here, and you won't find all too many amatuers. And you definitely won't find hardcore content. So, if you don't like the glamour look (ultra made-up, usually fake features), or if you need a little "oomph", then stay away. As far as I can tell, the site makes good on its exclusive claims. I could be wrong. The photo sets aren't part of that claim, anyway. No matter, even if you have seen them before, there are plenty here you haven't from many different girls you haven't seen before either. Since they have the one day membership plan, what do you have to lose? If you like it, then upgrade and see even more. This is definitely worthwhile for the picture buffs out there.
