Here's what's going on...

Hey everyone!

I did want to talk to you all about Instagram a little. I'm extremely frustrated as it is the number one place for me to advertise myself as a model-both with working with photographers and growing a fan base through patreon. Unfortunately, the larger the fan base, the more cranky wives you have flagging you. The bully from high school figures it's her opportunity to bully you again by reporting all of your photos. Instagram is literally a website that's infrastructure was built off the asses of women, and now that it is strong and full of advertisers, it has dropped every bit of its devotion to the people that made it what it is today. They are deleting models in large numbers with zero warning. My images get pulled because of reports. Most of the time, they are totally fine. I do occasionally post photos where you can see through a top, but surprisingly these don't seem to be the pictures that are getting pulled down! The people who "review" the photos are dominantly sourced from other countries, and the cultural differences regarding sexuality are much of the reason okay content is getting people deleted. I'm terrified to lose something I've worked so hard to build. It is a direct source of so much of my ability to make a living that it legit scares the heck out of me. Do any of you have suggestions for other social media or up and coming stuff?

With all of this in mind, I am now working on a youtube channel to promote myself and continue building a fan base. I'm going to be focusing on my love of fashion, vintage clothing, unusual art, and creativity... but still, very fun and very sexy. I think it will be a lot of great stuff to share with everyone at all levels here too. There will be a lot of not safe for youtube content that will end up on here as well.. I'm hoping to launch in the next 2 weeks. 

anyway, I have to write another super long blog soon. Lots of big changes coming in my life...
