    Thumbs up Someone wants to write an article about me.

    So I set up my facebook page for my persona last week, today I get an email from a journalist from a UK based magazine company called Medavia. They want to write a story about me, whether it is my struggle to lose weight, or how I met my bf (online) or the camming thing. Weird, anyone in the UK heard of the company? I googled them and they look legit.

    I just thought wow this would be awesome marketing,I guess I better work on getting my website set up and actually getting listed on google then.

    Small world isn't

    Thanks ladies, ;-)

    Thats pretty awesome since you say they are legit. Great idea, make sure to use them in that advertising your cam page ( of course). )

    just read the comments again, could be ideal for your career but just make sure you read any contracts before interviewing to make sure they don't turn your story into trash. it is always good to double check who is interviewing you, cuz you don't wanna end up with bad press, just in case.

    This is my understanding of it but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

    From their facebook/website etc it seems like they AREN'T a magazine but a PR company, and they DO scout out 'real life stories', and sell them to the tabloid-style women's magazines here in the UK. Like a 'sell my story' type company. So whatever you give them will likely be edited and dramatised and published in a national women's magazine.

    If you look at some of the photos on their facebook page it shows the sort of article that your story would likely end up in. If it was published in one of the national magazines (women's own, reveal, closer, etc) it would be massive publicity.. but theres no guarantee it wouldn't be heavily edited/twisted.

    Also there'd likely be a massive flood of new camgirls :p

    I know, I haven't even seen a contract yet, he wants to make sure that it is ok with my boyfriend to be photographer together, and then I will speak with him on the phone.

    The FB page seems to be the main companies page, he contacted me through his, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002586254735 it has the logo in it and its him and a bunch of people in the pics, looks like an office. Would be great publicity though. Thanks ladies.

    It wouldn't be positive publicity. These magazines in the UK are not nice magazines. They are marketed to lower class and since you aren't a war hero you will probably be a little upset with what they write. It looks like once they have your story they can sell it to wherever they want. Be careful. It probably isn't worth the 100 GBP.

    Do your family and friends and any work colleagues know about your camming? If not then think twice, because they will after this. I live in the UK and those type of mags are UBER CHAVVY!!! As in, bottom of the barrel scum. The stuff that 14 year old wannabe strippers & glam models (without the looks, brains, or ability that real strippers have!) read.

    My family knows, I don't have any friends other than facebook people that I will probably never see in real life,but thats what I figured they were, kind of like womens weekly journal or the sun over here in the US. My family would never even know it was written, they aren't really readers, unless it showed up on like MTV or something, they wouldn't even know.


    I'll have to think about it, He contacted me through my stage name facebook, so that would be the name in the article. :-D

    Word. I'm in the UK and these sorts of stories twist what you say, and usually paint the sex worker/adult entertainer in a somewhat villainous light, shame them etc. Being a brit and having read these magazines I don't think that it's worth the money.

    I didn't even know it was for pay, I was thinking free publicity, the article is more about my journey with being overweight, and how it has affected my life than anything, we will see. I haven't signed anything, he wanted me to ask my bf if he was ok with being in the pic before we went any further. He was asking me quetions about how we met and does he accept my body, or does he want to feed me and make me fatter. Which I think is hysterical that, that is a fetish. Really making someone mordbidly obese?

    Thanks for the input ladies, I will have to weigh it, and see.
