Sure, Flashy Babes may look like just another glossy paysite featuring hot naked Canadian and European chicks, but it's not: it's a web community, which means in addition to baring it all models are also given the opportunity to express themelves via video clips (in which they demonstrate such diverse talents as changing clothes and having makeup applied) and candid revelations about their experiences ("I found that the crew really thrives on making the model feel special. We are totally involved in the concept of our shoot, from theme to location. We get to share our ideas and I find that really gratifying) that give you an unvarnished account of what the life of a glamour model is really like. OK, so maybe it's all a little too slick to be a true Web 2.0 effort, but it's still nice to see a site like this that at least tries to give its models some personality and create some interaction with its members—and the folks behind it seem decent enough (as most Canadians of our acquaintance tend to be). Think of it as a sort of SuicideGirls without the pop culture reporting, tattoos, labret piercings, and nasty lawsuits. (And, uh, did we mention that nearly every model here is smokin' hot? )
