?THEME COMP WINNER Q&A?

As always we wanted to get to know our November theme comp winner @itsvalis a little better - did you know she was in Game of Thrones!? We didn't!!

1. How did you get into the sexy business?

I wanted some fit photos for Myspace, so I lied about my age and joined ModelMayhem when I was about 14/15 yrs old. Started off doing beauty and fashion and the photoshoots progressively got raunchier... By the time I was 18, I was shooting for all the lad mags (RIP!), worked part time for StormBabes TV (urghhhh, have I got stories galore from that shit show!) and modelled for lots of latex and fetish designers at fashion shows and kinky events.

2. What is your favourite content to shoot?

Classic pinup with a modern twist!

3. What is your funniest shoot story?

There's too many stories to possibly choose one! I remember I had a big campaign shoot for L'Oreal when I was like 21 and I'd forgotten about it. Went out the night before with friends in London, and at like 5am I remembered I had to be in Oxford in 2 hours for this fricking shoot. So I just went straight there, covered in glitter and G.A.Y stamps halfway up my arms. I was too wasted to remember the shoot, but I remember falling asleep whilst standing up and dropping a whole mug of coffee (including the mug) on the freshly white painted cove. To my surprise, they didn't book me again.

4. What is your best advice for a beginner creator?

- If you can't handle the drama of your Dad accidentally stumbling across a picture of your arsehole, then this industry is not for you honey!
- Strength is in numbers, so NETWORK with other creators. There's nothing more empowering than being part of a support group that always have your back!
- Once it's on the internet it's there forever. Before you get started, you really need to think whether this path is for you or not, because your content will definitely get leaked.
- Don't expect to remain anonymous. There are enough shysters out there that go round trying to find out identities of models/sex workers and then re-share content with your real name all over it. You can protect your privacy a little better by changing your Facebook name/profile pic to something random on your personal account and try to keep a low profile in your day to day life.
- If in doubt, don't. Always trust your intuition. It's there to keep you alive!

5. How do you make your fans feel special?

My page is about luxury & exclusivity. With any luxury experience, outstanding customer service is expected. The ultimate goal is to make every fan feel like a VIP at their own private Gentleman's Club. One of the ways I achieve this is by charging a higher subscription fee, I attract fewer subscribers, so not only does my content increase in value because it's more exclusive, I'm also able to spend more quality time interacting with my fans on a 1-2-1 basis. Fans really appreciate it when you reach out to them to ask how they are, or how their day is going. Remembering someone's first name can go a looong way! However this is not possible to do if you have hundreds/thousands of fans! I also reward loyalty rather than newness/cheapness, so I offer my VIP list 50% subscription discount and more bonus content via DM. When it comes to fans, I much prefer quality over quantity!

6. What are your hobbies and interests?

I love to perform and watch burlesque, cabaret, opera and classical music concerts. I have many other hobbies too involving collecting crystals, growing herbs and house plants, meditation, yoga, tarot reading, wine tasting, Warhammer Fantasy and anything that makes me feel zen and connected to nature. Yes. I am a tree hugger.

7. What do you enjoy the most about your job?

The freedom of choosing how I want to run my own business, on my own terms with my own schedule and rules! Internet geeks go down on my gratitude list everyday for providing small business owners plenty of opportunities to grow their dreams online! Thank you internet geeks.

8. What do you struggle with?

Keeping the self-critic surpressed! Seriously, she's such an asshole.

9. Who are your favourite creators?

Love Sim-Wise & Von of course! Also my really fit friends: @heathervalentine , Dani Divine & @masuimimax

10. What would people be surprised to know about you?

I'm a socially awkward opera nerd. I trained as an opera singer and classical musician, but now I mostly play keys & sing in a deathcore metal band called She Must Burn. I also played the role of a Dothraki on Game of Thrones and through doing this, I made connections with intimacy co-ordinators and bagged myself a body doubling agent. So basically whenever a celebrity actress doesn't want to do a raunchy scene, I'll do it for them. Haha! Of course this work is strictly confidential.
