A Touchy Topic: The Fetish Industry

It seems like everyone is a fetish model or a pro domme these days. Not that there is anything wrong with being either because technically I am both. But it is here in the fetish community where anyone can proclaim to be a "fetish model" or a "pro domme". In a way that is what keeps the industry fresh, allowing new faces to emerge on the scene. On the other hand, it is was what over saturates the industry and the concept that anyone can do it is a dangerous theory.
If every male out there believed he can play professional football then no one would watch the sport. People wouldn't idolize players or respect their talents. It is the same here and for every other industry. Chicago has over 100 - born female Pro Dommes. There's only 10-15 that I would pay for a session and even that is pushing it. I feel bad for both the talented Dommes and the clients because the talented Dommes get put into the class of "just another domme" and they loose out on money. The clients have a difficult time deciding who they should session with and in many cases get  a really poor session.

As for the "models", just go on Fetlife and I'm sure if you clicked on 100 random profiles at least 40-50% of them would claim to be some sort of fetish model. Just because someone else took a kinky picture of you doesn't mean your a fetish model. Just because you're involved in the kink community doesn't make you a fetish model.

So where do I land in all of this?

Well let me just say, there is nothing wrong with being an aspiring fetish model. It's just all about how you go about becoming one. Proclaiming that your a "fetish model" before you've ever established yourself in any manner is preposterous. I've been involved in the community since I was 18 and I'm turning 25 on September 6th. I've been at this for awhile and just in the past year did I really start pushing myself as my own product.

The last and most important key to me is being a fetish model or pro domme is actually being interested in the BDSM - Fetish world. Most people who make it on some level in this industry are actually kinky. Kinky isn't wanting to tie a woman to a bed and fuck her, that's rough sex. I see it all the time, people think they are kinky until they are around kinky people and they realize just how vanilla they are. There is nothing wrong with being vanilla but a pro domme should be kinky. It's their job to make the client feel at ease and there are just too many pro dommes that are only in it for the money that they think they can make.
Many models also aren't kinky and that is a shame to me as well. If your not kinky and want to model - don't do fetish modeling. America is the best country in the world at selling a lie so I guess it's naive of me to think that the fetish industry should be any different.

Personally, it's been a process for me but the past year has been a good one for me and I expect to continue to grow and push boundaries. I will be at FETISHCON in Tampa Bay July 28-31. I've already schedule lots of gigs with several different people. I also hope to work some old friends that I've never gotten to work with yet like Nyssa Nevers. I've also been asked to model for a tattoo book so I'm excited about that as well.

New Hair & Femme Pictures

Tomorrow I have a session here in Athens, Ohio as a guy is driving from VA to serve the Dominant Girl in me. So, today I had to do a little shopping and make a few changes as I don't typically get sessions here in Athens. Also, I plan to be in DC/Baltimore next weekend and Sunday I'm supposed to shoot with TS Brittany St. Jordan. I would be doing some solo work as she wants to cast some heavily tattooed T-Girls for her new website.

I got a new bra and pantie set that is pretty damn sexy. I'll be wearing that in DC and maybe for my session tomorrow as well, we'll see. I also decided to die my hair red. It's a brownish red but you can DEFINITELY see the red in it. I actually like it, I'm pretty pale and naturally have some light red tones in my brown hair so it's not too far of a stretch. It's also pretty femme because lets be honest, you don't see many boys with medium length dyed red hair. The other day I got my hair trimmed for the first time in over a year. It really needed it, I took about an inch off everywhere but the ends where dead so now it should grow out better. I wear my hair pulled back in a ponytail in my everyday anyways so it's not much of a change.

I also got a pedicure from Bobcats girlfriend today. I needed it and she painted my toe nails a shimmery red. I won't be walking around my apartment barefooted for a few weeks, that would be funny though, I think I would scare my roommates.

In the midst of all of this I quickly got dressed up for Bobcat and his girlfriend. I didn't put on any make-up but did my boobs, put on my new lingerie, shiny black leggings and a dress for them. Surprisingly they have, especially Bobcat hasn't seen me get all "dressed up" in person yet. I don't have many opportunities to cross dress down here at school.

Here are a few pictures. Remember no make-up and I took a picture to try and show the red in my hair. The hair pictures are the bottom 2.
