lazy whoever designed it. it is an odd choice to go with black and white photos but it does give it some uniqueness in a sea of amateur girl sites that look the same. they weren't using their creativity, if all the B & W images on that tour on mouseover turned into colored images they'd have something interesting, the surfer would mouse over each picture, people are very simple creatures, they love mouseovers, they'll run their mouses over anything once they see there are mouseover image changes - and the more they stay involved on the page, the better chance they will keep exploring, hopefully joining the site.

i'm designing an amateur teen site right now, it ain't easy to be creative with that niche, you feel like you have to stick to the basic design cliches these sites have developed. I tried orange and black color scheme to be different but i looked at it for a long while and it just doesn't look 'teen' or 'amateur', looks too mainstream and hip.

SO FILL UP THE PINK AND BLUE PAINT BUCKETS AND GET ME THE GROOVY FLOWER DINGBAT FONT I'M GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD RIGHT INTO AMATEUR TEEN DESIGN HELL!!!
