Hello my fellow models!
So I recently downloaded the documentary recently released about this world, Cam Girlz. I am sure you have heard about it already. I was excited to finally see our world and perspectives being represented and out in the world. I was looking forward to see what other girls had to say about it and to compare it to my own experiences. To say I was disappointed is quite an understatement.
I decided to dig deeper and see if any other interviews or outlets are out there that actual represents the truth. Until the lovely MFC's Ashe Maree had the recent interview with Buzzfeed, there are only misinterpreted interviews, with everyone simply saying it's easy, fast money, so safe, and puppies & rainbows. Also, repeatedly it was stated 'first time logging in I made $300-$600' so they 'quit their day job the next day' and so on and so forth. I am not saying this isn't possible, everyone will have a different experience. A lot of factors play in, but with all of these interviews being the same and pretty misleading, I have to wonder, is someone backing all of these interviews and getting them to say this for a deeper reason? Are the sites themselves paying these people to say these things to entice people to become models for them? Of course, this is possible. I am hoping this isn't true, but it might be.
I am wanting to represent this industry with zero pressure, to show the world that many models do well, but with hard work. From marketing, to branding yourself, to also needing a thick skin. It isn't just logging in and making bank all the time. You have to be creative, become the performer, marketing, PR, manager, and all these other jobs wrapped in one-except you are the product. Most of us are constantly working, even when not on the internet. From videos to pics, to editing, to trying new sites, to buying outfits, to trying to new makeup. It's all work. And if you aren't successful, you can be shot down because you are the product, so if you aren't doing well-it could make you question what is wrong with you.
I want to make a site (blog) where we can be really represented. To show the truth behind camming. This documentary was a stepping stone I think, but needs to go further. And really, those thinking about getting into this need to know what it truly entails. From possible blackmailing to finding out who and where you are to sending your pics to your family. Or even finding your materials on huge porn sites. It happens. We need an outlet. To fully say things. To represent ourselves as we are. Not as people want us to seem like, because I feel that is what that documentary was about. Not really about what we really are like, what this job is, but what people would like to think it is. I want to make a place where we can do videos, posts and all sorts of things that come together and make our own sort of 'documentary' for the public to really see us, our experiences, and how we are actually treated. Sex workers are still seen a certain way that needs to be broken. Period. I would like it so you can post anonymously if you wish. But if you want to show yourself (your camming persona of course) you can. An outlet like this site is, but more open to public eyes so even our fans and possible new coming cammers can see the truth behind our computer screens.
Thoughts?
