View Full Version : How to Get Ridiculously Hot

If only I was one of the humans designed to lose unwanted bodyfat first. My butt and boobs are the first to go! I'll go from curvy and borderline voluptuous to sort of a pudgy rectangle immediately. And then, of course, I'll plateau and that's the worst. But what's interesting is that older guys seem to like me better thick while younger guys want the skinny girl look. Even out here in Hollywood land. But I do want to be healthy and fit, albeit with womanly curves. And I agree that intelligence/ education is extremely important in escort work. Looks draw them in and then education/intellect/charm keeps their attention.
Men have disturbingly sentimental/personal attachments to what turns them on. (Same for women, in some cases.) If you can figure out WHY a man is so attached to a particular look on a woman...That is half the battle.

Yah, attacking Sam aka one of the most influential and inspiring person on his forum? That'll go well. Beauty is more then just your outward appearance. No one wants to hangout with a perfect 10 if she has the IQ of a potato. Work on the inside as well as the outside.

Lies.
Proof or it never happened.
People say anything here LOL
Not necessarily at all. I've been 258lbs with multi-millionaire clients, and charging $8.99 per min just see me stand up on cam, lol. I had sugar daddies at that size as well and finsubs spending $30k on me. Men with money are no different then men without. Guys all have preferences and we all know that behind closed doors men of all walks of life come out of their shells.
The thing is, though (IMHO) her friends do have billionaires chasing them at 300lbs, they'll have even more chasing them at a healthier size but I'm speaking more for myself. Maybe I'm just greedy, but one of my vain reasons for getting into shape is that I want allllll the monies and not just a select few BBW lover clients.

My experience says different. I took off big time when I hit 40. 44 now & doing better than ever.
People will like youngsters; people will like those who have a more mature outlook - in all ways.
This particular post is a good example of why that could be.
Bless.
Agreed. Youth is a commodity anyone can possess. Sure some guys will always like em young, dumb and thirsty for cum. In my 20's I was a chub a lub with more rolls than a Wawa pastry truck. In my 30's I run circles around the 18-24 crowd. Wisdom and experience can be just as sexy as the moronic beauty of youth.

And agree on losing weight. The BBW niche can be lucrative but there's only so far you can go.

I truly believe that yes anyone can bank at any size, but they'll still make more the lower their body fat % is. They will have more clients at a lower body fat % because that is what most men are looking for. There are exceptions to this rule, but if you have more clients, you'll still make more money overall. If this weren't the case, then the top of the stripper food chain wouldn't always be a thin, toned girl. Clubs wouldn't be turning away girls with normal BMIs claiming they are too big. Thin is what sells and you can thank the advertising and media world.
With fetishes, you are banking off a few generous clients and that's it.
Also, if you're banking while heavier, you might be banking because of attributes other than your body shape. It could be your hair, a common interest, your eye color, anything. If you get smaller, you will not only keep those customers, but you'll gain way more due to the thinness factor. You might lose a couple feeder types, but you'll gain way more. Even a toned amazon would still make more if she somehow were to become smaller. Its about size (being tiny) even if toned.
I'm sorry to say, but that's just how the world is. I'm not the rule creator, I'm just being the messenger here. People that control advertising have made the standards for us.

Eye lash extensions! I can't recommend these enough!
As fas as wardrobe goes- buy relatively inexpensive clothing but invest in good handbags/shoes.
Go to Nordstroms and buy a good bra. Make sure the lady fits you. This can change your whole shape. A good bra is important for gals with big boobs.

Amen to that! Most of my clothes are thrifted or bought on clearance but my shoes and bags are exquisite. I can't justify paying tons of $$$ on clothes that I'm shrinking out of anyway. Not to mention, shoes and bags are investment pieces and can classy up any inexpensive outfit.
I get fitted at Lane Bryant every six months. When I worked there, I learned that your body changes even over the course of a few months, so getting fitted twice a year is a good idea. Plus, I love their matching sets!!!
I haven't mastered the art of faker lashes yet. I use the baby powder trick with three coats which does well, but not as well as a good pair of mink lashes I'd imagine.

I literally cannot believe the difference that a pair of fake eyelashes makes...you go from looking pretty to hot in an instant. I actually stack mine now - I wear two to work with minimal eyeshadow, and it makes my eyes look big and bright but seductive.
I only recently started wearing them, and I would *never* go to work without them now!
Foundation is along the same lines. I don't care how perfect your skin is - foundation takes your look to the next level (but be careful about finding the right color, otherwise it'll make you look older). I'm still searching for a great foundation - I'm still stuck in drugstore land - but even the stuff you see at Target looks great in comparison to bare skin.

Yeah too-dark foundation tends to age...go as light as possible.
BTW an expensive haircut can work wonders. Yesterday I was in a coffeeshop & I watched a guy literally be breathtaken by a young girl who came in with flowing wavy hair (that was cut correctly for the length) & spoiled princess girl clothing. He had been eyeballing me before but I was in my usual "don't give a fuck" clothing & lack of hairstyling. Guys notice these things even if they whine & cry about paying for them.

Get a really good high end/luxurious perfume that's one of a kind and and majority does NOT have. It'll be memorable. I have one I use at work (worth the investment, I don't use cheap shit), that gets me tons of compliments. Men always remember me as that girl that smells really good. Hey, it works for me. Or a really good scented body lotion. Again, high end.
A good perfume should last with a few sprays and not overwhelm the guy. Get a few samples at Bloomingdales or Neiman Marcus, and see which one gets the best reaction.

Cover girl Ultra Smooth is the best drug store one I've found to date without too much cakiness. Also, keep in mind it's much harder to see makeup on cam or in the club. I actually have two different bags.

Do people even go to tanning beds anymore?
If I tan, I use an all-natural organic spray mist. I'm scared of all those nasty chemicals that adhere to your skin. I'd rather use as natural of ones as I can get.
This is probably why I tend to stay lighter. Too lazy lol. My clients LOVE my skin white though. In a lot of the non-western countries, they tend to want your skin as fair as possible. I know this to be true being partially asian. Its all my mother ever tries to drill into my head other than eating healthy and education.
Oooh what kind is that? I have been switching between Loving Tan($40ish),and cheap Neutrogena Micro-Mist stuff($12 ish, gets the job done but makes me break out sometimes.Super easy to use though)when I make less $$, but am always looking to try out new brands. Especially organic ones!

I'm not fully vegan but I try to avoid dairy while still consuming minimal amounts of fish and seafood. But otherwise I'm basically vegan and I've noticed it! I've been so busy this last 6 months and healthy eating like this was basically crucial to keeping my energy and motivation levels up so I could keep the ball rolling!

This statement is everything. Not only will you look great eating what you need, but you will also feel better which will in turn attract more men to you.

Beyond fetishists the biological preferences (for men) are: small waist to hip ratio, symmetrical features, long, healthy hair, red/glossy lips (mimics arousal in the genitals) round butt, youthful, glowing skin, some softness to the belly and thighs (Men don't *usually* like women who are over muscular with a six pack as this comes off more masculine to them)-all signifying fertility and readiness to produce babies, therefore "hot."

I love this thread!! I'm about 5-10 pounds fluffier than usual and since I"m on the shorter side 5'3" a few pounds will show because I have less room to put it... and man, it affects my money at the club. I'm making about half as much as usual. Need to get that shit under control.
I know most of the stuff on this thread has to do with improving your body and looks in general, and if you're hot, it doesn't matter what you're wearing, but I do notice I make a lot more and have more guys tell me how sexy I am if I'm wearing strappy lingerie. I feel like it kind of looks fetish-y without being fetish-y and just makes guy's dicks tingle a little bit. Also I like how high-neck lingerie looks, but I don't think guys like it. I read somewhere that guys find it most attractive when your collarbone and decolette are exposed.

Yes very true indeed~The collarbone's connected to this whole idea of slimness or elegance. It's called the nothing but neck effect. It's works well with you're hair up or shorter hair.

Also if you're pressed for dough you can make your own scrubs out of sea salt and oils (evoo, coco, tea tree)
You can also do your own facials with milk, honey and sometimes baking soda

^Homemade masks tend to be better than store-bought, IMO. When you buy something at the store, it may have a microscopic amount of healthy product (for example, green-tea extract as the last ingredient listed in a paragraph of crap). But at home, you can control what you put into it.
I love making a quick scrub with jojoba oil and vitamin-C powder (cheap!: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VEE5YM). Vitamin C is water-soluble, so when you mix it with an oil, it doesn't dissolve. It just makes a nice, gentle, effective scrub. I leave it on for fifteen minutes after scrubbing (gently, in circular motions), then wipe it off with a warm washcloth.

...Apply your foundation with a sponge, NOT your fingers. Dot foundation all over your face with your fingers, then blend and pat with a makeup sponge. If you've been using your fingers, you won't believe what a difference it makes. I use a sponge to apply primer, now, too.

Does anyone know of any good sunscreens to wear under makeup? So far I've tried Neutrogena spf 30, Biore aqua rich watery essence, Olay moisturizer with sunscreen (made me break out), spray on ones (couldn't stand their strong chemical smell) and a few others. Most make my foundation powder clump when I apply it with a brush.

I use neutrogena anti wrinkle cream with retinol that has spf 15, and I think they make them up to spf 30. It's great! I just turned 30 this year but I decided to go ahead and start using anti-aging creams. Just give it time to sink in and dry for a couple of minutes before you put your make up on. I'm outside every day and no sunburn yet (and I'm really pasty white.)

I already mentioned this on another thread, but will put it here too...
Drinking rosehip tea keeps the skin looking young. It slows down aging and improves collagen. Also, applying the teabag all over your face will firm and tone it. So don't get rid of the bag after drinking it.

Teeth are a huge deal. I don't have the balls or money for veneers, but well-done veneers really make a difference in someone's look. In the club, superwhite, perfect teeth majorly stand out.
I'd love to get invisalign in the future. For now, I just whiten my teeth and take very good care of them (flossing, brushing, Listerine mouthwash 2x/day). I don't have a particular product I'd recommend to someone else for whitening alone. Each product seems to have upsides and downsides and works differently depending on the person.

An abdundance of inexpensive sheet masks for the face
An abdundance of inexpensive sheet masks for the face
I'm obsessed with YouTube lately and found a lot of "haul" videos mentioning the insanely good quality vs price of this site: www.shopmissa.com
Everything is $1 !!! Including tons of sheet face masks. [home -> cosmetics -> face & body -> skincare]
Some other tips of mine (since I'm just sitting here with my notebook stealing sooo many good tips):
1) Go vegan/plant based diet.
I know...lame tip. But really, there are so many insanely good studies (look into the Harvard doctor who started research on what would eventually become the rockstar anti-aging drug Reversatol, he was initially baffled by the extremely slow rate of aging in people who ate only about 1000-1500cal/day of super high fiber nutrient dense fruit & veg) backing this up. No cream, no mask, no surgery, no treatment will ever beat broccoli. Even if you can only do it Mon-Fri and take the weekends off, better than nothing!
2) DIY it!
As mentioned before, making the stuff yourself has often proven to be better bang for your buck in getting really potent beauty products. There's one site I'm crazy about: www.makingcosmetics.com . The quality control is phenomenal and you can find things like pure dimethecone (the key ingredient of hair serums//Morrocan Oil is just dimethecone + apricot kernel oil), and lupine protein, the first substance found to actually reverse sun damage and enhance the efficacy of sunscreen. Fingers crossed they add larch tree extract.
3) Dove Spa Strength Within tablets
Holy shit. Also really good research out there in the BBC documentary "The Truth About Aging" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZeP55P27xo&nohtml5=False
4) If you're looking to get a flatter tummy in an hour, barre pilates literally sucked by gut in concave for three days after my first workout. My abs had been terribly out of shape so couldn't really move the next morning. But I laid there in pain looking quite sexy. It's an intense exercise that requires minimal equipment so I highly recommend finding YouTube videos for a free "personal trainer" :)
5) I actually just found out about this today so I can't 100% vouch for it yet, but if you're always looking for nice new things to wear to keep your clients interested, Rent the Runway Unlimited might be perfect? It's $140/mo and you pick 3 items at a time, ship them back when you're done, and pick another 3 which should arrive in about 2- 3 days. (So its not 3 rented items for the whole month, its just a max of holding 3 items at a time). https://www.renttherunway.com/unlimited
6) I think big eyes are one of my best features, here's my fave big eye tutorial on YouTube, super good tricks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d1zD_3STdw&nohtml5=False
I believe the same girl has a "huge lips" vid too.
7) MORE YOUTUBE (god, I should go outside...) Fave "here's all the secret trick things MUA's do that we aren't telling you about" video...Willam Belli! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ubtytz7ps&list=LLAQUc_p8m-Ij94nZMWlYvGg&index=2&nohtml5=False
8) A little bit of baking soda+water+asprin is sort of a mini at home microdermabrasion (but maybe not ideal for sensitive skin)
9) Shea butter and/or olive oil layered on thick before bed and you'll wake up with the softest skin ever...try to put it on right after the shower if possible (hot steamy skin absorbs better)
10) Co-washing hair, once or twice a week only --- my fave co-wash is Shea Moisture. Also not really washing your face with tap water: I use an Avene cleansing cream. Micellar (sp?) water is a similar concept. Check if your water is "soft" or "hard" - hard water can be damaging your skin and hair! Oh, also this: http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2014/04/23/how-to-wash-your-face/
11) If you must wear foundation, Jane Iredale. I've sworn by it since I was 16 (but I'm also a weird shade most lines don't have). But when using liquid foundation/a heavier look, do all your "base" layers (concealer + foundation, etc) then take your quick bath or shower in not too hot water, the steam will let your heavier makeup set looking more natural than cake-y.
12) Xylitol for making that just-got-my-teeth-cleaning-at-the-dentist sensation/freshness last forever.
13) Retin-A every night for 3 month intervals. I even mix it into a body lotion, but you must keep it air-tight! Of course, SPF always and extra SPF with retin-a
14) Drink twice as much water as you think you need. Drink seltzer with fresh fruit if tap is too dull.
15) Force yourself to exercise. I'm using GymPact! If nothing else, at least do weight-bearing or body weight exercises. Just a couple hours before a photoshoot or audition plus something with a high sweat potential (bikram yoga) can make a huge difference in appearance.
16) Possibly TMI but...I have a little sweetmint extract that I dab on my hip bones and on my inner thigh just below my pussy. Men find the fresh but ahem..natural scent, alluring. Also, putting coconut oil in my vagina nightly.
17) If you're going to be doing a photoshoot in any sort of clothing, its worth it to get those clothing items tailored. Even t-shirts, but especially dresses.
18) If you want better teeth but braces are out of reach, Smile Direct Club *might* be a really good option. In addition to scouring Groupon for teeth whitening. Actually, check Groupon/Living Social first for any spa treatment type deal.
19) Certin-Dri at night plus Hibicleanse after AM shower so I never sweat or have any odor. Gross, I know, but I seem to get stress-sweat pretty easily.
Talking about stuff like this is super fun, I agree. IDK if any of you guys used to lurk the blog jetsetbabe.com , but there's now a Facebook group you can join of the same name where topics like this get discussed quite a bit. Yikes, okay, I've ranted enough!

Makeup artistry (especially lashes), hair (extensions for length or volume, professional styling), teeth whitening, improving your wardrobe, and toning your body are all examples of things that can enhance your current look.
FAKE LASHES if you're not already wearing fake lashes then start. I can't work without them, even if it's just the Ardell demi wispies for a "natural" look. Men can't even tell they're fake.

Constantly following trends yet also maintaining your personal style. I know people say men, for example, don't care about these things, but I feel like that couldn't be further from the truth. Men notice and compliment me all the time when I change something up or try something new.

10) Co-washing hair, once or twice a week only --- my fave co-wash is Shea Moisture. Also not really washing your face with tap water: I use an Avene cleansing cream. Micellar (sp?) water is a similar concept. Check if your water is "soft" or "hard" - hard water can be damaging your skin and hair! Oh, also this:
11) If you must wear foundation, Jane Iredale. I've sworn by it since I was 16 (but I'm also a weird shade most lines don't have). But when using liquid foundation/a heavier look, do all your "base" layers (concealer + foundation, etc) then take your quick bath or shower in not too hot water, the steam will let your heavier makeup set looking more natural than cake-y.
12) Xylitol for making that just-got-my-teeth-cleaning-at-the-dentist sensation/freshness last forever.
13) Retin-A every night for 3 month intervals. I even mix it into a body lotion, but you must keep it air-tight! Of course, SPF always and extra SPF with retin-a
14) Drink twice as much water as you think you need. Drink seltzer with fresh fruit if tap is too dull.
15) Force yourself to exercise. I'm using GymPact! If nothing else, at least do weight-bearing or body weight exercises. Just a couple hours before a photoshoot or audition plus something with a high sweat potential (bikram yoga) can make a huge difference in appearance.
16) Possibly TMI but...I have a little sweetmint extract that I dab on my hip bones and on my inner thigh just below my pussy. Men find the fresh but ahem..natural scent, alluring. Also, putting coconut oil in my vagina nightly.
17) If you're going to be doing a photoshoot in any sort of clothing, its worth it to get those clothing items tailored. Even t-shirts, but especially dresses.
18) If you want better teeth but braces are out of reach, Smile Direct Club *might* be a really good option. In addition to scouring Groupon for teeth whitening. Actually, check Groupon/Living Social first for any spa treatment type deal.
19) Certin-Dri at night plus Hibicleanse after AM shower so I never sweat or have any odor. Gross, I know, but I seem to get stress-sweat pretty easily.
Talking about stuff like this is super fun, I agree. IDK if any of you guys used to lurk the blog jetsetbabe.com , but there's now a Facebook group you can join of the same name where topics like this get discussed quite a bit. Yikes, okay, I've ranted enough!
This is the best post on this thread. Thank you so much! I owe you dinner :)

Do you have any makeup tutorials for this look? I'm experimenting with just using eyeliner (upper lid only), fake eyelashes, foundation, and contouring at work to create a more 'naturally beautiful' look. But I'm pretty new to makeup (aside from the basics), so a tutorial would be super helpful! It's hard to find the balance between so-natural-that-no-one-in-the-club-can-see-your-eyes and trying-too-hard-overly-glam.

The above tutorial by Stephanie Lange on youtube is quite good. It shows instagram makeup (heavier, suited to the club) vs clean, light everyday makeup.
She has some more in depth tutorials as well. Not gospel but I thought she had some great points.

My couple of tips: SUPPLEMENTS.
For shiny hair I take Brewer's Yeast tablets every day. These are given to pedigree dogs to make their coats shiny at shows but they work on humans too.
To get rid of cellulite I take KLB6 tablets which are kelp, vitamin B6, cider vinegar and soya lecithin in one tablet. You can also get these separately but you need to take all of them every day so the combination tablet is better.
For my hair and nails I also take Biotin tablets which make them grow faster so if you are trying to grow your hair this can help.
Cod liver oil is good for joint health and Omega 3 and I take a teaspoon of the oil every day (you can use capsules but I love the taste of the oil - mmm I could drink it!)
Oh and a good multivitamin, I use Centrum chewables.

This one is common knowledge. Make sure the water is not hot when bathing or showering. It can cause your skin to age prematurely. I love relaxing hot showers, so I have to keep reminding myself of this.
