Entering Shelly De Palma is a little bit annoying. The preview page shows some photographs of her wearing not many clothes, her daily diary, (which doesn't seem to be updated daily and features little insights into her everyday life, like what Shelly had for dinner and what chores she did around the apartment today and how they made her sooooo horny) and some pictures of her in varying states of undress.

The log in page is scripted into the website, so you have to enter your username and password, and then for some reason, a bunch of random characters from one of those security boxes, like when you're trying to sign up for a free email account.

Once you get past that, you're greeted with a notice of upcoming web casts and details of the 23 other websites you can have access to now, including Amber At Home and Powered Pussy. There's also a list of the most recently updated sites, which, rather tellingly, didn't appear to have Shelly in them at all.

The updates section features a lot of other women who are busy having bubble baths, pressing their breasts together and kissing vibrators. It's all rather distracting in the nicest possible way, but eventually I managed to reign in my pointing and clicking and head for Shelly's video section.

De Palmer's website was running a little slow, but I was greeted with vidcaps from the 9 videos on offer - there's Shelly rides the sybian, Shelly plays with a power tool sex toy, Shelly takes a pee, Shelly masturbates in the Arizona desert, Shelly plays with a rubber cock, Shelly plays with another power tool-sex toy hybrid, Shelly takes a shower and shaves her bits, Shelly coats herself in baby oil and plays with another dildo and finally, Shelly plays with a vibrator on the back seat of a BMW.

The video size is a decently-sized 480x360 pixels in WMV format and the picture is some of the best clarity I've seen. Unfortunately, they take a little while to download (one 46.5Mb video took around 15 minutes on my 2mb connection). When the movies finally do get down to you.. well... the one of her peeing lasts a grand total of 2 minutes and 12 seconds and the one of her riding the sybian is only 3 minutes long. If you're expecting to see Shelly in the sack, you'll be disappointed. All of the videos show her engaging in solo activity and some of them come with a quasi-new age soundtrack playing over the top of the action.

The image gallery features 8 photo galleries, the majority of which are taken during the filming of her videos. The photographic sets range from having 35-84 images in the set. They're good quality and a generous 724x1072, but once you've opened one photograph there's no navigation and you have to rely on the good ol' back button to move back to the main thumbnail gallery.

Next up is the update page, which cheats and shows when everyone else in the network last updated their sites - while it looks as if there are updates across the network most days, Shelly's obviously a busy girl, because she hasn't updated in 2 years.

Except for an 'about me' section that's it as far as Shelly De Palma content goes. The live cams section eventually redirected me to the Aziani sites page, so they were either off-line, or not working and the bonus site link took me to a site that offered 23 other websites, as well as rather a lot of database errors.

The site itself looks good and it's easy to navigate - if a little slow at times and let down by a couple of techie errors that I won't even pretend to understand.

The bonus sites are good, but considering that the site is all about Shelly De Palma, I'd like to see a little more of her. While the videos are high quality, they're few and far between and have an average running length of just six minutes. The image galleries are good - the photographs are decently sized and look professionally done, but this site could use more videos, more images and more updates for it really to be worth the money, instead of relying on content from the bonus sites to justify the subscription charge.

If you're joining this site just for Shelly herself, then you should save your money. If you look at the overall value of this site along with the many bonus sites, then it could turn out to be decent value for money.
