An Overview Of Blue

Censorship- 13.4.19

Hello all 😀

I hope this week has been fabulous for you and that you have something nice to look forward to this weekend.

As you might have guessed this is going to be another rant about censorship, this time in response to Instagram’s recently announced plans to start demoting “inappropriate” content in the future. If this is the first you’re hearing about this then I recommend having a quick read through THIS article from Tech Crunch which sums it up very nicely.

Basically the changes they plan on implementing will start tagging content – which is perfectly within the guidelines – as inappropriate and that content will then be hidden from users, even if the user follows that content creator. They’re basically policing what people are allowed to enjoy and what people are allowed to create. I’m interested to see how this will affect fitness accounts, clothing/lingerie brands and of course big name celebrities.

Again you might be asking, “what’s the problem”, what does it matter if some “inappropriate” content gets suppressed?

This isn’t just about not getting as many likes on a post, it’s about real people losing out on income that keeps them afloat. Everyone knows I have a Patreon and OnlyFans – one of the main ways I advertise them is via my Instagram (and other socials). I’m not the only person that works like this. There are thousands of people that rely on social media platforms to grow their audience to then increase their subscribers/paying customers. So if you start suppressing their content and less people are seeing them then you’re directly impacting their ability to earn enough to survive.

So if Instagram is so bad why don’t you leave?

Because that does nothing to solve the ever increasing problem of censorship online. Yes we could all move to a different platform that won’t silence us but that only compounds the problem. If we don’t stand up and speak out against it then we’ll eventually just be pushed out of existence entirely. Not to mention that it’s not just Instagram. It’s every social media site. The world is moving ever closer towards some horrid dystopian regime where all things remotely sexual are silenced unless they are owned by the capitalist rulers. Individuals no longer have the right to express their sexuality for fear of punishment/social exclusion. Again women are taught their bodies are only to be profited from by someone else. Again we push those from the LGBTQA* community back into the shadows, unable to share their experiences with each other, unable to help each other and once again creating a fear of the unknown. Victims instead of being liberated by these regulations that were introduced supposedly to protect them find themselves even worse off.

It might not seem like a big deal right now but this is a storm that has been creeping ever closer and when it finally does break we will be the ones to suffer. We know this and so we reach out now, whilst there’s still time to to change things. Time to stop it. We protest, start petitions, join unions and continue to talk about it all over social media.

I know this has been a long rant and I appreciate you taking the time to read my posts. All I want to do is make you aware. I want to draw attention to the changes that are happening and what they really mean for us. The “inappropriate” content creators.

Stay safe and be happy x

Updates and Plans – 1.4.19

Hey all, happy Monday! I don’t do pranks or practical jokes so if you were expecting something like that from me then I’m sorry but you’re out of luck.

I’d much rather update you on what’s been happening and what I’ve got planned ^_^

Recently I’ve had some super fun outdoor shoots, one of which has already been posted on my OnlyFans and will be available on my Patreon by the end of this week. They were both good fun and with two photographers I hadn’t worked with before – so it was really great to get to work with some new people.

Both photographers were super easy to work with and got photos back to me really quickly which is so refreshing.

I’m definitely going to be doing more outdoor shoots as the weather gets better but it’s still just a bit too cold to be diving into them properly.

Easter is just around the corner and I do kind of want to do something for it but I only have 20 days. Not a lot of time to get an outfit together, find a location and get a photographer. Not impossible. Just tricky. Especially as I’m a bit low on funds currently haha (aren’t we all).

So no promises for Easter but I’ll definitely be working on getting fun things regardless of occasion. It’s just fun to have a theme to work to 😀

Also I’ve got to say a huge thank you to everyone that’s followed me on Twitter or subscribed to my OnlyFans, there’s been a surge in activity over there and it’s got me so excited ^_^ It’s so rewarding to watch my follower count grow as I continue to put more effort into shoots and my online presence. So thank you!

You may also have noticed that we are only 27 days away from the release of my SuicideGirls Hopeful set!

I’m so excited!!!

I will of course keep you all updated once the set has been released and if I do get lucky and “Go Pink” (get picked as set of the day which means I’m officially a SuicideGirl) then you will be the first to know ^_^ Wish me luck haha x

But that’s all for now, so take care of yourselves and we’ll talk again soon!

Dealing with Frustration – 18.3.19

Hey lovelies, happy Monday!

For today’s blog I wanted to talk about something that I sometimes struggle with – dealing with frustration. We all get frustrated sometimes. Things don’t go the way we want them to and we have to change our plans last minute, it’s frustrating but we get through it.

Recently I’ve been dealing with a lot of frustration caused by people not being as professional as I would have liked them to be. As you should all know, I’m a self employed freelance model. I find all my own work. I organise and plan all of my shoots and sell of of my content basically by myself. I’ve worked in professional settings previously and consider myself to be a fairly professional person – I take all of my work seriously (because if I don’t then how would I pay my bills?) and find it very frustrating when people don’t take me seriously.

So when people don’t read my castings properly and respond with irrelevant messages I get a bit frustrated. Or when people cancel last minute with little to no explanation, leaving me to try and salvage situations and making me look bad – that gets me frustrated. If someone leaves me to do everything and then benefits off my hard work whilst I get left with a loss, I get a bit upset – it’s frustrating after all.

It’s far too easy to get bogged down and overwhelmed when things start to get frustrating so I figured I’d share some of the things I like to do to help me deal with my frustration.

Make New Content

It might sound a little funny but when I’m getting super frustrated sometimes one of the best things I can do to pull myself out of it is to start working on something new. I start planning new outfits, take test shots of poses. Post some casual content on my socials and wait for feedback.

It can be really god to channel that frustration into something productive and sometimes I’ll come up with something I never would have thought of if I hadn’t gotten so stressed out.

2. Have a Cuppa

Sometimes the only cure for a bad day is a good cup of tea. Just sit back, tune out from social media and let yourself unwind for the time it takes to drink. Pair it with a book and you’re sorted haha.

3. Walk it Off

One of the advantages of having the most energetic doggo you’ve ever met is that I’ve always got a great walking companion haha. Bouncer is happy to listen to me rant as we walk until I get tired. Some of his best walks have been my most relaxing. It can be really good to just get some fresh air and get away from my laptop.

You don’t have to walk for miles, just getting a bit of a change of scenery can be enough to help you reset, I find.

4. Take Some “You” Time

Whether it’s just a quickie or a super indulgent “get the toys out” kind of time, sometimes it’s the only way to really calm yourself and get back to a level head so you can look at your next steps without murdering anyone first haha. (yes I’m talking about masturbating, grow up)

5. Socialise

Granted not everyone is an extrovert so this may end up being more draining for you but I always find that being around the right people can bring me out of any mood.

I don’t mean go get wasted and try to drink your problems away – that’s not likely to work. I just mean spend some time with people you like, doing something that’s low energy.

Have a home made meal, do a movie marathon, have a games night or just hang out and catch up. It doesn’t have to be something crazy to be good fun.

But my friends have always been so supportive and have gotten me through so much so just remember it’s important to have people you can spend time with and to de-stress with every once in a while.

Those are my go to solutions when it comes to dealing with frustration. I’m not saying they work every time. They might not be the best solution for you. They’re just some things that you can try next time you’re feeling frustrated and need a way to chill out again.

What do you do when you’re trying to deal with something frustrating?

Thanks for checking in, until next time – stay safe and be happy!

We’re All Adults Here – 22.2.19

Happy Friday!

Hope you’ve all had a fabulous week and if not then I hope you have an extra great weekend ^_^

I wanted to chat about adult content today, specifically the fact that I have been slowly side stepping further into the NSFW community recently. Well to be entirely accurate I’ve been in the community for the past ~3 years but in terms of my modelling persona I’m only really starting to dive in.

The main reason for this has been money – sex sells after all – I’ve got bills that don’t pay themselves haha.

If you follow me on Twitter then you might have noticed that I start my bio by saying that I post 18+ content and that I don’t want minors following me. That’s not to say that I post explicit content (not that there’s anything wrong with posting explicit content), it’s just to say some of my content is NSFW and I’d prefer not to have someone under 18 viewing my content. Honestly I think I’d rather not deal with minors regardless of what content I’m posting.

Just feels weird talking to people under 18 that aren’t related to me.

Of course I will always have a SFW online presence (Facebook, YouTube and Patreon for example), so if you’re really not interested in being exposed to the NSFW content there will always be somewhere for you to go and continue supporting me.

But I’ve reached the stage where I have a wide enough portfolio that I can start focusing on what’s going to make me money without too much fear of getting type cast. It’s still a concern obviously but I can at least point to all my SFW content and say “but look! It’s not all about my ass and tits!”. Some of you will be glad I’m taking a proper step into the NSFW side of things and some of you won’t but we’re all adults here and can respect that different people get to do different things even if we don’t necessarily agree with it ^_^

So this is my sort of official statement, I am consciously producing more adult content and if you don’t want to be a part of that then I hope you’ll still follow my SFW content. Otherwise let’s get excited and make some awesome stuff 😀

A Day of Love – 14.2.19

Happy Valentines Day!

Whether your pampering yourself, your friends or a loved one I hope that today is good to you!

Let’s focus on spreading love and not get bogged down by the sales and imposed relationship ideals of the day.

For valentines I got together with some of my modelling friends and we got a little wild haha, if you’re following me on Twitter then you’ve likely already seen some previews of what I’m taking about but if you haven’t then worry not, I’ve got some great photos to share with you here!

Just girls being girls! Hee hee ^_^ we took over 300 photos as well as some behind the scenes videos and selfies :p

But I do want to take a moment and talk about the haters that want to ruin everyone’s good mood. Not necessarily specifically on Valentines day but just in general. People that just always seems to bring the mood down and go out of their way to cause trouble for others.

At the dog park today, with my beloved and my bouncy boy, whilst enjoying a nice afternoon walk we met another dog. A lovely little black and white spaniel. Bouncer did his usual lie down and wait for the dog to approach before springing up to play. But this time he was a little barky and boisterous (he can come on a little strong sometimes but it’s just because he’s excited), so of course we immediately step in and call him away to calm him down.

The only problem being the owner of the lovely spaniel was a homophobic grumpy older gent. Who’s immediate response to a dog barking whilst playing was to yell at us to “get that dog under control”, despite the fact we had already moved to do so.

Andy got annoyed by the man’s overreaction and told him not to be a cunt – pretty typical statement – to which the older gent replied he was going to call the police???? Which is of course ridiculous and obviously he didn’t. We then began to walk away with the older gent yelling after us then beginning to follow us. At this point I tell him to be on his way, his response is to start threatening that if he ever sees our dog again he’ll do something about.

Andy obviously upset and furious that this man is threatening our dog replies along the lines of if we ever see him again we’ll fight him. The man responds “you see me now”. I keep us walking and the man shouts after us again saying “what do you think you’re some kind of lesbians then?” (pretty sure that’s word for word what he said). We’re both bristled by this and yell back, I say it’s 2019 and he should get a grip and we keep walking.

Getting back into our stride we notice the man has stopped to talk to some other walkers and we strongly suspect he was talking about us but we carried on and had a nice time with Bouncer before heading home again.

But really the aggression that older gent was spewing at us was entirely unnecessary and is a perfect example of people that just can’t be happy and take situations as they come. They’ve got no chill and I feel sorry for them.

Let’s get back to the fun stuff though ^_^

You know who’s great for chilling out and having a great time with? My girls!
