Brittany English has come a long way from her days as Miss Electra. Anyone who
remembers that site will recall a cute blonde girl with a lot of innocence and personality
in her eyes. Her youthful energy filled each and every photograph, and her charm and style
melted our hearts.
That was years ago. Brittany has grown up. And she's taking things to a whole new level.
Brittany and her photographer, Harley, have started releasing "Extended Sets"...
special zip sets that go beyond what you see at her members' website. These sets show you what you don't see at the
site, and they provide you with a more artistic view of the one-time Miss Electra. The
third series features an extension of Brittany's Fantasy Schoolgirl set - 198 images plus
a 23-minute movie clip. Brittany may have grown up, but she hasn't lost any of the magic
that made her special to begin with. |
| The Model: Brittany is
a legend in the online modeling business. She's appeared on mainstream television
promoting web modeling, and has consistantly had at least one website open for the last
five years. She's no longer the pixie-like pre-teen that graced the pages of Miss Electra,
but now a confident young woman who isn't afraid to show you that she's ready to take on
the world. This Fantasy Schoolgirl set features
Brittany in a white blouse, black and white skirt, fishnet stockings, and black shoes. As
the series progresses, she slowly removes each of these items until she's down to a very
alluring black underwear set. The shy girl we once knew has now become increasingly aware
of how beautiful she is, and exhibits a nice balance of sexuality without crossing the
line into sleaziness and smut. The contrast in colors between her skin tone, the make-up,
and the choice of clothing is very striking. She begins the set with her hair up, but
eventually takes it down, revealing a very gorgeous young lady. |

The Photography: Harley's photography is some of the best I've ever seen. You
can tell great care and effort was put into each and every shot. You won't find any blurry
photos here, folks... everything is crystal clear and easy on the eyes. You can tell he's
taken the time to provide you with something he is proud of. I've seen a lot of
photographers that just throw whatever pictures, good AND bad, onto a site without any
concern, but the photos at BrittanyEnglish.com are quality craftsmanship. And each photo
in the Extended Sets are LARGER than what you see at her regular site (or almost any site,
for that matter)! Coming in at a whopping 1500x2250 pixels, these large resolution pics
give you a high quality look at the fine work that goes into Brittany's product. There's
not a bad shot in the bunch... this is solid work from a true professional.

Content: Each image is
a high resolution 1500x2250 pixel size, with file sizes ranging from approximately 600KB
to over 1.5MB. The first 69 photos in this series appeared at her regular members'
website, only at a smaller resolution. Those original 69, along with an additional 129,
are now available here, bringing the total photo count to 198 photos. There are no blurry
or off-center shots in this set, and although she does get down to bra and panties, there
is no nudity whatsoever.
The Extended Sets are available in only one format: downloadable zip file. If you're on
dial-up, you may find that the 290MB file is a little difficult for you to download... at
the very least, I would recommend using a program that supports resuming downloads. |
Extras: In addition to the 198 photos, you'll find a 23-minute movie clip
that was shot during the Fantasy Schoolgirl photo session. There's no talking, as the
feature is set to some very artistic music, but it provides you with a peek at the
playfulness and fun that goes into a Brittany English shoot. An actual camera operator was
on hand, zooming in, moving with the model, and keeping the picture steady... no tripod,
and no shaking camera motion. You'll feel like a fly on the wall, watching Brittany laugh,
giggle, and do what she does best. The file size of the video clip is 122MB, making it
less of an "extra" and more of a regular part of the Extended Set.

Price:
This particular Extended Set regularly costs $35.95 for purchase. Compared to other
modeling websites, this is average for what they charge for similar items. The extended
photos in this series are not available anywhere else, and if you're a fan of Brittany's
work, this is a must-have for your collection.
Currently, the Extended Sets are not available for purchase, but look for them to return
when the Brittany English Archive re-opens in February 2007.
Criticisms: I can find very little fault with this third Extended Set.
However, one pet peeve of mine was that the photos were not sequentially numbered, leaving
some continuity problems. However, this was an issue I didn't even notice until a full
week after I received the set. It's a minor detail that doesn't detract from the overall
excellence of the set as a whole. |

The Bottom Line: Brittany HAS grown up. She's become aware of
her own beauty and sexuality, and channelled them in the right direction. Her photos have
a natural balance of innocence and beauty without crossing the line into sleaziness and
smut. This Extended Set offers an added dimension to her regular website, and makes a
lovely bonus for die-hard Brittany English fans. Care and quality have gone into each and
every photo, and her people do give you your money's worth. If you're a member of
Brittany's site and are looking for something more, I would highly recommend this set to
you... you won't be disappointed. Each and every time I look at it, I see something
different, something new, and something fresh, and that's always the sign of a good, solid
purchase.
