How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Hi everyone!
Just curious about this - how long does it take you from the moment you go " okey, time to cam today" till the moment you actually get online on websites?
I feel like Im always taking forever and a day to get online. It did happen where I lost my enthusiasm and motivation half-way through getting ready! /:O
I always leave my cam room in good order after I finish for the night.
So Im talking about cleaning my toys , getting a shower & shaving, putting my make-up on , chosing my outfit / getting dressed , choosing some music and all the small things in between. Takes me anywhere between 50 mins - 1hr and a half!
Any way I can speed up the process? I like to be sparkly clean and perfect make-up when I finally get online, but Im also easily distracted!
Help!?

Oh my god, this is so embarrassing. LOL.
If we were JUST strictly talking about hair, makeup, clothes....
From shower to camsite it takes me about 3 hours. And it's all because of my HAIR ! >:( I have insanely thick long hair. Like, can-only-wrap-a-hairtie-around-it-twice-before-it-breaks hair. It takes me about an hour to fully blow dry it and then if I want to style it that takes another hour at least, sometimes longer. Then I have makeup/clothes left to do.
Then we have my ADD to deal with. ::)
Roughly 4 hours. Awful, yes. I need help. Maybe I should shave my head?

You can wear a wig. I know some girls may not like the way they look, but you can always get a human wig that looks like your real hair. That will save you alot of time.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
I used to take forever getting ready.Then it got to the point where just thinking about the effort it involved for me to get on cam started making me cam less and less.
So now,honestly,I pretty much just start the cam up and go!
When I get up I will have already had a shower (which only takes me a few mins) and done my make up for the day anyway,I might slick on some extra gloss or powder,but that's pretty much it.
And,ironically,I often seem to make the most money on days when I have made the least effort to get ready....::)

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Oh my, Hayden!!!
And I thought I was bad!
Do you wash / blowdry / style it every single day? That sounds like a lot of work! Leave it wild one night , see what happens. I think you'll be surprised that guys like the wild hair look. Or try different styles : put it up in a ponytail or use some hair accessories : bows , alice-bands , hair pins.
I wash my hair every few days ( I actually like the second day hair look) and I have quite a bit of experience with wigs too. All I can say is that if you have thick or long hair , wigs are going to be tricky to wear. To tuck all that hair under can prove a bit of a challenge.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
About an hour, to a hour and a half. It is stupid. Doesn't take me nearly as long to get my ass out the door for vanilla jobs
If I stopped wearing fake eyelashes itd cut that time down by 20mins, lol, I have no skills. Too bad I bought like 70pairs from China and am determined to use them all. Fricken eBay.

^^^ I hear ya!! Same here ... I started using false lashes recently and it makes me waste so much more time than before. I sometimes take forever to put them on : than one of them might not be glued on properly , start again ... and then Im not happy that there too much of a gap between the lash strip and my lashline and its too obvious , and it goes on forever . Grrrrrrr! :banghead:
So seems like Im not the only one here that takes ages! Phewww! :relieved:

5 minutes, if that. Wig, little concealer, clean clothes, boots.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
i have very long, thick, frizzy hair, but usually i shower at night before bed, put some coconut oil in to tame the frizz, let it dry overnight and just run a comb through it in the morning. every now and then i'll put it in braids or something but usually i do a ponytail or just let it fall. any shaving or grooming like that happens at night. i paint my nails once a week or once every couple of weeks at night while i watch tv on netflix.
washing the toys, making the bed, arranging everything, and putting on camming clothes takes about 15 mins for me. i was spending about 30-45 minutes putting on makeup but i'm trying to simplify that - now i spend about 15 minutes and i'm trying out doing less and less.
however - i always make coffee and eat before doing my makeup and so i usually just watch an episode of tv while i'm doing that, so everything gets done in about 45 mins-1 hr. and if i'm doing other morning routine-y things like journaling, picking up around the house or in the kitchen, checking email, etc. it can take around 2 hours. but usually that's stuff that's not directly related to getting ready.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
maybe an hour between getting my cam space arranged, doing makeup and hair and picking out an outfit. I refuse to use false lashes. I love how they look, but I swear for the life of me I can't seem to put them on effectively.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
about an hour and 15 or so...
shower, pick up room, clean toys, makeup and hair, outfit (running out of options) : /
I want a good looking wig i hate washing hair and drying and curling i do it every other day but i feel its still damaging...
But i know the day i do get on and im not fully ready or my hair looks like shit because i went too long without washing i feel not too cute so im always kicking myself thinking why didnt i take more time lol i used to just throw makeup on and however my hair already looked id get on ....
once i realized this is what i wanna do i started to put more effort cause it makes me feel prettier! :P

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Thank you very much for all your replies , girlies! :hug:
Makes me feel a bit better knowing that im not the only one spending a long time on getting everything exactly how I like it.
I wish I could be ready in a shorter amount of time , but personally I couldn't go on cam without a shower and without a bit of make-up and a cute outfit on.
It's just a matter of what makes us comfortable with. Happy state of mind, happy camgirl - I say :P
Regarding wigs , they are a nice investment and last a while , even the syntethic ones. I used to get wigs from Ebay from someone in the US , they were gorgeous and quite realistic. The shipping prices were killing me though !

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Well it can take me up to two hours, I tend to not be a morning person, so if I am camming daytime I sort of move slow. I eat breakfast, hop on stripperweb, take a shower, blow dry my hair (if needed), put on makeup, and then go in my room to cam...lol
If I cam at night time which I prefer but I am not doing at the moment, I am usually already ready, and just need to find something to wear, and touch up my make-up.
I try not to wash my hair everyday. This week I have only washed it once, but I am going to wash it again today, and blow dry it. My hair is also thick, and even though its only shoulder length I also usually flat iron it. Because if not its just all over, I like it very straight.
My advice to the ladies who wash hair in the morning and blowdry, it might be more effective for you to do this at night before bed, so you can just get up, do your make up, brush your teeth, and go.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
About 30-40 minutes (depends if I actually wash my hair every 2-3 days). I do always get it wet before cam though cause if it's been up all day it looks horrendous.
I have naturally curly hair and so I don't fight it to cam. I pull part of it back so that it's out of my face and just let the rest fall and dry as is. My routine is shower, shave, dry off, go smoke while bathroom defogs then touch of foundation on any spots I need it (I rarely do my whole face), eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. Then I just grab my Frap, get dressed and get on.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
About 15 mins - shower, clothes, hair, make sure my eczema isn't playing up on my face, if so deal with it, then lippy. Half the time I don't apply lippy until I get a 'ding' - or even while I'm on cam. (I drink coffee by the bucket load, so I have to keep reapplying it anyway).
I am a very lazy camgirl.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Around an hour.
I swear I used to be quicker!
I have to get my room ready, pick an outfit, shower and shave, do my make up.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Blaaah way too long it feels like. An hour I guess? The longer it takes me, the less I feel like camming haha. Eyelashes make me take longer too!

Apply lots of glue, then set them down for 30-60 seconds. Once the glue gets tacky just plop them on your eye. Fill in any gaps/odd transitions with liquid liner.

It depends. It can take me 30 minutes to a couple hours..I also have ridiculously thick hair, so it all depends on if I want to style it or not. Since it's super curly/wavy I can get away with just scrunching it. Then I combat the super poofyness by clipping parts of it back. But if I want different curls or even worse,to straighten it, we're talking a couple hours on hair alone.
I'm getting pretty pro at doing my eye makeup it record time though..
I've cutdown my outfit selection time by dividing it into 2 drawers (although I have so much I really need to reorganize and free up a third). The first is outfits that actually go together, like sets. The second is just random misc. bras and panties. I do try to keep that one organized by color, but after a couple days of rummaging that becomes hopeless lol
Not to mention my ADHD which they just took me off my meds for..Yesterday it literally took 4 trips to the living room to get my webcam before I actually remembered what I was doing.
Wow this post got long.:O

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
It used to take me forever to get ready- at least 2 hours.. shower, hair, make-up, clothes, and I (still) take at least 15 minutes at the beginning of the day to meditate...but this is when I first started camming. I don't do free chat anymore (at least for the time being), so really I just put on some liquid eyeliner, some face powder- and wait.
My hair is super thick, too.... My guy at the hair salon does a great job razoring it once a month to take the weight out of it. It's still thick.. but cuts my hair drying down from an hour to about 15 minutes. :)

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Probably 45 minutes :) Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
Hah! It definitely depends on how much time I have to cam. I only have an hour to hop on and hop off? I'm ready in 15 minutes. Toss all the shit off the bed, turn on the light, grab a bra and panty, put on some eyeliner, cover that blemish and dust with powder, STAT!
If I'm camming all afternoon? Takes 20 minutes to put on full makeup, then I tidy around the bed and put a new sheet on, clear the floor, get a selection of sex toys, some snacks, a drink, walk the dog, blah blah blah. Horrible.

Re: How long does it take you to get ready for camming?
about 30-45 minutes for me. We have a really small apartment and I cam from a camcorder on my husbands desktop in our living area, so I have to set everything up and test to make sure I did it right, then move furniture around to be more "cam friendly." And then I have to dismantle it all when I'm done.
Shower/hair/make-up takes no time really for me. I bank on my boyish/dykeishness (word?) so as long as I'm clean and my hair is still shorter than my husbands, I'm good to go. I usually just wear underpants and a T-shirt, though I may start starting off in more clothes, just to have more to take off ;)

I am the same!!!
When I am camming at night after working all day, then it takes me maybe 30mins - touch up makeup, curl the ends of my hair and backcomb the crown, throw on outfit. The thing that actually takes the most time is moving furniture around...our "better" computer is a desktop, but it is across the room from the couch, so I have to move the coffee table, one chair, the couch (after I fold it down into more of a bed), the pole (which would be in the way of the couch after I move it) and then turn the screen to face the best angle... I would love to have a good enough laptop that I don't have to do all of that, but its low on my list of priorities.
When I have a full day to cam, it probably takes me 1.5-2 hours to get totally ready. I shower, but I actually only wash my hair once a week (my hair is fairly damaged, and I dye it, so I like to wash/style it as little as possible!) so I just need to backcomb it and fluff it up a little. Makeup doesn't take that long, but pissing around and making coffee and procrastinating sure does!!!
