Wicked Weasel and Bikinifanatics

[Retrovintro]

Wicked Weasel 1st started out as bikini manufacturer in Australia, making some cutting-edge skimpy bikinis.Nothing R-Rated, but often see-thru, and mostly very revealing.
Sometime after, they added some amateur sections to their retail/commerce website and over time it gained traction and moderate popularity. It was free.
Eventually a community grew as there were an increasing amount of amateur (and sometime professional) and product-model submissions (galleries) to their site.
A lot of the submitters knew each other so a family-type of atmosphere grew as well. This sister-site became "Micro Minimus."(MM)
So WW started charging $25 per YEAR to be a member and if you bought their product you had free membership.(Vintage Erotica has shown a lot of galleries from that site and many have had to be removed, FYI)
But then the site developed a country-club attitude. Some contributors were given more freedom than others on the level of exposure that would be approved by its judicial moderators. Tensions grew among both members and contributors, not only for the unfair censorship, but also the outcomes of the endless competitions the site promoted.
So they opted to make their site bigger, charge more for the annual fee ($97) and more significantly, offer members a rated PG versions as well as a Rated-R version at the bequest of its frustrated members. This didn't sit well with a lot of members OR contributors because the fee was the same for both tiers, and popularity seemed to be based on the willingness of some contributors to show more skin. While the mods allowed bare breasts in regular submissions, it was taboo for ALL of their competitions as well as their product promos. (WW made products that they prevented their own models to show because they were too revealing: the hypocrisy!) But some of the contributors use MM to promote their off-site commercial endeavors and frequently posted galleries of full frontal nudity. The MODS removed some, yet left others, it was definitely favoritism that caused both members and contributors to leave the site. Furthermore, the whole concept became silly because since the site IS a PAY site FOR adults only, and the PAYING member had the CHOICE of a different level of nudity then why did censorship exist at all? I don't know of any other website that does this. Remember, MM is ONLY a R-rated site at its most explicit level. There is no sex of any kind, and no spread-leg pussy shots, even though they make crotchless items.
Eventually a totally new site, Bikinifanatics, was created which allowed complete uncensored submissions. Many of the contributors are/were from MM/WW, But the $10 per-month fee only gets your foot in the door. Each individual model chooses how much they want to charge PER GALLERY (called "premium content"), so things can get VERY expensive VERY quickly. Some models charge upwards of $50 for only a dozen photos, and you wont know what they are until after you pay the pre-bought tokens (200 tokens=$20). Most of the galleries offer very few images, so unless you were a huge fan of the models you knew from MM, it's most likely not worth it given the endless product available for free on the web. Remember, this is mainly an amateur site, and as such, the girls aren't that hot or young, and the photo quality is often marginal at best. Currently the product-line has become WAY more corporate and conservative, and since WW/MM only allows their product on their site, then that conservative nature is reflected in the mod-approved galleries. I.e. snooze fest...IMO, avoid this site, it has run its course.Sad. It could have been something awesome.
