    Default Investing in Yourself: Webcam Style

    SO I was on the general stripping board and they had a thread about investing in yourself. What the girls do to make themselves completely strippertastic. And I was thinking to myself, holy crap, there is so much of this stuff that I just don't do...

    So everyone go read the thread and come back here...

    Ok so now tell me, for the webcam models, how many of you ladies put in the same amount of effort for camming? I mean, while I have been considering starting to get my gel nails done again, I'm in no big rush because it's not like guys even really see my fingers on cam. If I'm having a fat day, camera angles make it all better for me. If I don't have time to shave my legs who cares, because other than maybe feeling a little less sexy about it...maybe, it's not like the guys can see the teeny tiny stubble.

    Am I the only one that finds that camming preperation is just kind of lazy? When I first started I took like an hour and a half making sure I looked IMMACULATE. And then I realized that because I'm on cam I can still look just as good with half the effort. It's a slippery slippery slope to camming in my pjs and just calling it "slumber party theme day" I swear to god...

    So tell me sexy cam ladies, how do you guys invest in yourselves? How much preparation do you put in before your shows? I find that for the most part having my toes done is really so that I feel sexy not because anyone is going to see them, because no one ever does...

    I really want to start treating this like a propper career. And I feel like I should be going full on strippertastic in my preperation but... I am really lazy and I look just as good on cam with half the effort so where the hell is the motivation?

    I make sure I look immaculate before I cam. I shave all my body every morning in the shower, apply full make up and style my hair. I wear pretty jewellery and even put on perfume because it helps me to get in the mood. I always wear stockings and heels. If I feel super hot then I'm super confident which means more money!!

    Shower, get dressed.. get on cam! I don't usually wear makeup on cam... I do wear lipgloss though and still look frikkin fab!

    For me

    Hair (Indian Remy Lace fronts $499.99) ($200.00 application) every 2-3 months
    Nails (Every two weeks $60) (i admit sometimes i skip a month here and there im not a nail person)
    Mac Cosmetic ($150.00) every 6 months
    Bikini Wax (whenever i start seeing hair )
    Nair for legs (same as above)
    Toys ( $400) when I feel like it
    Pedi (every two weeks)

    Bedroom sets from amazon ($120.00) must have monthly


    ----
    Cam ($120.00) Lotech quickcam pro 9000 .. also have the orbit but don't use it as much.
    Laptop ($800.00) Sony Vaio

    Eh the most important thing to me on this list (top half) is my lace fronts. I'm totally hooked on them.

    The top half is really normal everyday stuff.. not really JUST for cam.

    Hrm this has really got me thinking
    I know that I'm way too lazy about getting ready for cam. I always shower/bathe and shave (though I am using a light pulse technology gadget now which is eliminating the need for shaving - woohoo!)
    I always put on makeup and straighten my hair (my hair is pretty long so I just wear it straight and down) but I don't spend long on it - makeup is literally just powder, eyeshadow, lipstick, mascara. I actually wear more makeup day to day than I do on cam.
    I try to wear something reasonably sexy, but to be honest, if I'm late getting on I might sometimes just get on naked and get dressed as and when I'm asked to (I don't do free chat)

    I never ever do my nails (hands or feet) or wear heels unless asked. I definitely wouldn't say that I put much effort in or that I look sexy when I get on cam. I know I should do more... but... well... (tries to think of excuse)

    Yeah, see compared to the club dancer we get off sooooo easy. I just don't NEED to dish out a grand a month in upkeep. I've just painted my toenails even though no one will see them simply because I think they are pretty. I wear a wig for camming so I make sure it's all combed and sex bombish. Shower and shaved duh, but that's just good hygeine. But I have also just noticed that I can wear things on cam that look totally wrong in real life but AMAZING on cam. Like today I am wearing this halter top that was in style a few years ago, they are longer, and kind of has longer pointy sides at the botton of it. In real life it looks like an out of fashion halter top, but on cam with no pants it's long enough to look like a super slutty from the back halter dress! And the guys love it. WTF!? O_o
    So now my bag of clothes I was going to give away id slowly getting torn apart and clothing being altered into camming outfits. And it's so easy because, tiny top, tiny skirt, done. And if I'm in a rush with the hemming I can allways fold things under or tie them back and they look PERFECT on cammera but if I were to walk around outside I would look like a slutty hilbilly, sooo wierd. Cameras make things, soooo much easier for us to slack and still look like freaking super models.

    I paint my own nails and toes, and to be honest I don't really shave a whole lot (except the kitty of course!), because you really can't see my leg hair on cam at all. I
    love how I can buy the cheapest little tank tips and bra and undie sets, and they look great on cam! Would never work for a strip club. I usually wear at least a little makeup on cam too, at the very least some mascara and lipgloss.

    I haven't started camming yet. But I agree with the ladies! I know me, and I take hella longto get ready if I want to take pictures even to just put on my FB. I know I' going to take long to get ready to get on cam. Because if I feel sexy, I'm gonna be more confident.

    sometimes i do have my off days...but thats far few in between.
    i've tried the stripper look- smoky eye, lip pouting lip gloss, fake lashes, the whole nine yards...and made $30/hour. not bad but not great. now i do tank top or regular tee i got from target (and most often worn that day) and tiny thong, wash and blow out my hair and regular everyday makeup= $60/hour.
    I do change into lingerie/stockings/heels/school girl outfit/whatever during private sessions, but yea my routine to get ready to cam is much more lax than when i was a dancer. As far as "girl next door" doesnt work for you, thats fine, it more than works for me!

    lmao that's funny "tired mom"

    yea theres days when i feel like i can rock a potato sack and still do well and there's other days I need all the help i can get LOL (call in the pancake makeup and under eye concealer! where's my 5 hour energy drink???)

    i find camming less stressful than dancing 10000%. I can take breaks when i want, i dance on my cushy bed not some gross pole or floor that has "stripper juice" all over it, no worries about a little body odor or how my breath is constantly and most of all NO competition from 10 other dancers all fighting for 3 customers

    Before I get on cam I:
    *Take a shower which includes shaving my pits, stomach, pussy, and legs
    *I put on my contacts.... since glasses make things a little complicated
    *I put on makeup... just enough to cover up dark spots... once I go to the dermatologist I won't even bother with make-up
    *I don't mess with extensions/wigs anymore. So I just leave my dreads down or put them up
    *I put on a cute outfit nothing outrageous just something that matches... I don't bother with heels.. I only put them on if someone requests them in pvt

    For regular maintenance I:
    *Get my eyebrows done or do them myself
    *Get a mani/tips every now and then
    *Paint my toes.. toes always gotta look right since I get alot of foot requests
    *Workout whenever I can

    Business wise, I try to invest in new things on the regular. So I have:
    *A Logitech Pro 9000 which I rigged to be on a tripod. Just got the Logitech orbit an in the future I'd like to cam with an HD camcorder
    *Recently got an HD camera for clip making
    *Recently upgraded to professional lighting

    A couple of things I need to do to really run this like a business are:
    *Buy outfits and toys on the regular basis
    *Upgrade to a better computer.. compaq sucks balls lol
    *Invest in the webcam studio/office I just got

    I don't do anything really that I wouldn't do day to day. I think most of the things listed are things girls should do on a daily basis anyways, at least when leaving the house. Its just basic hygiene and looking presentable. Shower, shave, makeup, do my hair....thats about it! lol.

    I just shower, shave legs, arms, pits, vag. Put on full makeup (foundation, concealer, powder, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss). Normally I just wear sexy panties and a bra or cute tank top. Sometimes I'll put on my corset and fishnet stockings.
    I think whatever makes you feel good about yourself and makes you feel sexy is what you should do for camming.

    For me its having the best equipment I can get , which invovles alot of shopping around, but I did consider for camgirlhandbook.com to make an online store where products are being sold that I have reviewed. and call them certified cam gear.

    For me it's about my hair . that is the biggest thing if I dont have my hair looking like I am a hot girl I don't cam, then its my bras and panties. the whole sex shop lingere stores are even worth it cause majority of them don't fit me right.

    Then its the sex toys I can't go wrong with my glass toys and my lelo rechargeable vibrators.

    then I have created around me a good mental and psychical health support system. doctors, chiropractor, natural path doctor and massage therapist.
