If ordinary porno sites were restaurants, they’d be hospital cafeterias – bleak, poorly lit and lacking in taste and variety, the average smut site has all the charm of a spork full of creamed corn. If you’ve had your fill of the bland, flavorless mush 99.8% of sites try to slop on your plate, a visit to Mikey and Mandy's Most Original Porn Emporium is sure to sate your appetite and brighten your day. Mikey and Mandy's Most Original Porn Emporium is the T.G.I. Friday’s of porno sites – a bright and cheerful schizophrenic clusterfuck of pics, videos, articles and straight-up Fun with a capital F. If Mikey and Mandy’s was a specific item on the T.G.I. Friday’s menu, it’d be the Friday’s Three-for-All, the “appetizer that your entire table can agree on.” “The couple friendly magazine for smart porn surfers,” Mikey and Mandy aren’t above making the fairly braggadocios claim that they have “everything and anything you need…all on one site.” I’m not entirely convinced that they have everything I need (I could really go for a Friday’s Steakhouse Select New York Strip Steak right now, for example), but they’ve certainly got an enormous, regularly updated database that includes over 30K worth of images from all genres.
Mikey and Mandy’s main page breaks their site up into nearly a dozen segments – articles, videos, a (sex) toy store, “fun” (an endless mishmash of “fun” items of interest Mikey and Mandy have found in their travels on the internet), stories, columns, info (a catch-all category for subjects as diverse as dating, games, events, blogs, and online radio), links and “Lust-O-Scopes” (Mandy’s pseudo-scientific love horoscopes). Image galleries have their own directory, which divides all photo sets by category - Mikey’s original photos, art and animation, B+D, shemales, all shapes and sizes, ethnic, weird, tits and asses, and vintage.
The image galleries are enormous, and contain such a wealth of material that digging through all of them would be a near impossible task. Mikey’s pics are surprisingly artistic – according to his brief bio, he designed the Ghostbusters “No Ghosts” logo, so it’s clear that his gift for form, structure and light is beyond compare. The chicks in Mikey’s photos generally fall under the goth/ punk banner (there’s also a few legitimate Suicide Girls in the “tits and ass” section of the site), his photos are a respectable 850x533, and all of his sets can either be zipped or viewed as slideshows. The subject matter of the content in other galleries runs the gamut of your imagination – big time stars like Jenna Jameson and Juli Ashton gleefully kick it with eager amateurs and vintage bathing beauties.
The “videos” section of the site is all over the place – videos range from one minute to one hour (though most of them hit the four minute mark), have been snatched from literally dozens of sources, and are presented in a wide array of formats (WMV, MPEG, Real Player, Quicktime). The 200+ videos are split up using the same criteria as the photo galleries, thus ensuring that you’ll more likely than not find something worth Mikey and Mandy’s measly $9.95 monthly fee.
The addition of non-pictorial smutty extras like articles, columns and stories makes Mikey and Mandy one of the hugest and most entertaining sites I’ve seen on the net. For great fun at a great price, Mikey and Mandy will be your servers.
