Turning Cosplay Into Alternative Modeling Choices

Have you ever looked at cosplay photos online and thought it would be really fun to dress up as your favorite characters? Did you know that with alternative modeling you could actually turn that into a career choice?

For those not familiar with the term, cosplay is short for costume play. It’s when fans of particular characters from movies, TV shows, cartoons, comics, dress up and sometimes act like them at conventions and other gatherings. It may seem a bit silly or weird to some people but for others it’s just plain fun. In alternative modeling though, there are possibilities to take cosplay and actually turn it into a paycheck.

When comic-cons start springing up, a lot of the groups involved need what are known as ‘booth babes’ or ‘promotional models’. These are models in alternative modeling that are paid to dress up and hang out at particular booths or exhibits and try and attract visitors. They want women with a particular look and that sex appeal that they know will bring focus to them. Depending on what the clients are involved in, you could be dressing up like anything from Princess Peach from the Mario Brothers games to a sexed up version of Harley Quinn of DC comics fame. The alternative modeling possibilities here are truly endless.

As with everything out there, there’s always an adult version available. Alternative modeling is a great way to get acquainted with the companies out there that take these same cosplay ideas and turn them into nude modeling sites. Because as you might have guessed, men that like comics and video games often also love porn – so what better way than to sandwich the two together!

Whether you’re looking to get paid to act like someone else for the enjoyment of others or just want to strip it all off, there’s plenty of agencies looking to hire sexy, geeky women in alternative modeling. There really is something for everyone out there, you just have to find what you find to be most interesting.

Familiarize Yourself With Fetishes Involved in Alternative Modeling

 

Interested in being a fetish model but think it’s just going to be all adult work? Think again! There are many misconceptions in alternative modeling areas such as fetish modeling where people think it’s all mainly hardcore material. Just because the word ‘fetish’ is in there doesn’t mean that sex will be involved. There are many agencies out there that are looking for alternative models for softcore material and nude alternative modeling as well.

 

The important thing before jumping into any fetish modeling work is to get online and look to see what is out there. This is good to do for all alternative modeling venues of course, but is rather important with alternative fetish modeling because the specific niches you accept work in will depend on what you feel comfortable with doing.

 

Ask yourself – What fetishes are you okay being a model for? Are you okay with being nude? With simulated masturbation? Sex? – You’re in charge of what you want to model as far as those respects go.

 

Don’t get stuck in the mindset that you have to take any work that comes your way. Just because you say no to something that’s outside of your comfort zone doesn’t mean you won’t get more work.

There are numerous niches in alternative fetish modeling with new ones popping up all of the time. If you keep on top of things and stay in people’s good graces, you will find alternative modeling work.

Ways to Build Your Alternative Modeling Portfolio

 

The important things you will need for your alternative modeling career is a portfolio. If you’re just starting off, it is understood that you won’t have too much in there, if anything at all. If this is the case, there are a few ways that you can add to it and begin its growth.

One of the best suggestions here is to make friends in one of the many facets of alt modeling. This could be a make up artist, photographer, fashion designer, rigger, even an event coordinator. There are so many different positions out there were these people could hire you themselves or suggest you for work. These are little gigs that will get your name out there and photos taken of you that you can slip into your alternative modeling portfolio.

This means that even if you’re modeling out of the goodness of your heart for your friend – having you out there all made up and in her burlesque costumes is definitely going to be a nod in the right direction. There will be alternative modeling photographers at the event snapping photos for websites, catalog for the clothing, even the photographers own portfolio. Request copies of these photos so you can add them to your own portfolio.

Search for photographers looking for models interested in alternative modeling. There are various places where you can find photographers looking to build their own fetish modeling portfolios and need to find models. Even photography students have assignments where they need models and place ads looking for them.

In a situation like this, it is VERY important that you talk a bit, meet in public, and get to know who you’re doing your alternative modeling for. You don’t want to put yourself in danger. If you ever get the feeling that something is not right, follow your gut instinct and don’t go through with the meeting or shoot.

One of the most obvious things you can do is hire a photographer yourself. If you’re serious about getting your alternative modeling career off the ground, there’s nothing wrong with putting money into it. Look at it as an investment into your fetish modeling or alt modeling career. Everything you invest now is towards making your alternative modeling career better.

Without a portfolio, there’s a pretty good chance it will be hard to get alternative fetish modeling jobs with a lot of bigger places. It’s best to start building your alternative modeling portfolio now so you can be ahead of all the other alternative models looking to make it in the industry.

Flaunt Your Tattoo Work in Alternative Modeling

 

It can be a real pain when in this day and age places still have you choosing between how you look and a job. Be glad that a career in alternative modeling is becoming a booming choice! One of the most common forms of body modification is tattoo work. Think of the many adults in your life and how many of them have at least one tattoo? It would probably be easier to tally up those who don’t have one! Even with as common as they are, there are still modeling companies that don’t want girls to have any ink work done. With alternative modeling you’re able to put those work worries away and express yourself in your looks any way you want

 

 Various places have their reasons as to why tattooed models aren’t hired. Some are specifically looking for clean cut, ‘innocent’ looking models and perhaps their demographic isn’t interested in girls into tattoo modeling. It’s best to not approach these places. Mainly, it’s a waste of your time. No reason to go to try and be signed at a place that isn’t interested in fetish models (and yes, those into tattoo modeling and alternative modeling would be considered fetish models). They’re going to tell you ‘no thanks’. Save yourself the trouble. Along with time, some places that do mainstream modeling simply aren’t able to get the kind of jobs in the alternative modeling field as agencies specifically tailored for this kind of niche would be able to.

 

It’s in your best interest to research the numerous modeling agencies and companies out there and see if they have specific types of models they want. If you’re serious about tattoo modeling and alt modeling, there are plenty of places that will want fetish models like you! Don’t let some people in the industry lead you to believe you’ll be working for no-name, make nothing companies either. The rise of fetish models and the consumers that want these hot alterna-babes in their work makes the call for hiring such models on high demand.

 

If you love expressing your true self through tattoo work, piercings, dyed hair, any of the above, and want to be a model – it’s in your best interest to look for alternative modeling agencies. Deal with someone that knows the industry, knows what is actively being sought after and how to get your name and image out there. By being familiar with things in the industry you can avoid wasting time and get busy starting (or furthering) your career in alternative modeling.

Financial Domination: an Overview and Introduction

financialdomination1

Financial Domination is when slaves and submissive men pay or “tribute” money to a Dominant Female. A term originally coined by Mistress Amelia Marx that became popular through research and use of the term in media and on the internet in the early 90′s. This fetish is brought on by the need to be controlled in any and every way possible. Miss Marx found this to be a natural extension for any Professional Dominatrix who is already being paid for Fetish services, and began to exploit it with clients who shared her fetish.

Many financial slaves tribute on a weekly or daily basis, as well as buy their Mistresses gifts whenever told to or whenever they feel it necessary. Often a financial slave will take it upon himself to adopt a Mistress’ bill that he will pay faithfully every month for Her.

Today, Marx’s work has spawned an entire cult fetish, and type of Domination. Terms like moneypig, wallet rape, money slavery, and more all came from her early exploitation of this very real fetish with her clients.


Financial Domination, Money Slavery, and Cash Fetish all deserve closer examination, and this article will be the first in a series covering many aspects of the fetish.

Female Domination Modeling and Partner Play

At some point in your career as a femdom fetish model, you may perform with a partner, either male or female, in which you are the dominant party and they are submissive to your will. Instead of engaging with your clients online and issuing instructions, you will be transferring that relationship to the partner performing with you.


You can keep it simple and “pg-13” by making your submissive partner brush your hair, rub your shoulders or massage your feet. Perhaps your online clientele would like to see your partner give you a pedicure or otherwise worship your feet.


From there, you should be feeling very comfortable with your partner, and perhaps you can start engaging in more erotic, sexually charged play for the pleasure of your clientele. Remain clothed, but order your submissive partner to strip – forced stripping or CFNM (Clothed Female, Nude Male) is very sexually charged and should really get a positive response from your clientele.


You could take it a step further and introduced sissification and forced feminization to the dom play session. Once your male sub is naked, offer him very feminine clothing to wear instead. Think lingerie, bra and panties, or even pantyhose. Offer him a wig to wear and instruct him to put on some makeup to “look pretty.” How is your audience reacting? Take your cues from them, but remember to ultimately respect your partner and don’t violate his trust.


Other games you can play with your submissive partner can include bisex play – ask him to fellate a dildo, instruct him on proper technique and correct him when you feel he is doing it wrong. You could show him imagery of gay erotica and ask him to pleasure himself while viewing it. Again, take your cues from your online clientele, but be mindful of crossing boundaries or violating the submissive’s trust.


Stay clam, remain in control and be sexy, your partner and your clientele will be very appreciative.

Exploring Foot Tickle Fetish

foot-tickle
One aspect of foot fetish modeling that is often overlooked is the age old game of foot tickling. The ability to present a fun, laughter filled foot tickling webcam show will be greatly appealing to a large audience of tickle fetish enthusiasts.


That’s easy you are saying to yourself, anyone can do that! While it’s true, undoubtedly you have been tickled by a boyfriend or someone else close to you, to do it for an audience on a webcam has a few unique considerations.


First, there’s an old adage: “You can’t tickle yourself” and for most people that’s true. Go ahead and try to tickle the sole of your foot or the sensitive patch inside your wrist. You probably didn’t even get a chuckle did you?


So unless you are performing with a partner, you are going to have to engage in a bit of play acting, even if it is just to get the ball rolling. When you start your foot tickling fetish show on your webcam, you can start by talking about your love of getting your feet tickled, how you find it erotic and so pleasurable. Think of a really genuinely funny moment in your life to put a smile on your face and start you laughing.


This is an excellent opportunity to use some props to help you out: you can buy an oversized feather or plume at a craft store and use it to tickle the soles of your feet, or you can try using a soft brush on the soles of your feet. Tickle them lightly and smile, thinking of your happy memory and let a big smile show on your lips.


Your customers will chime in on chat, telling you how sexy you look and cracking jokes. Let them. Let your foot tickling fetish sessions be free spirited and unstructured. If you have to fake a little laughter to get the ball rolling, so be it. This can be a relaxing session if you rely on your members to entertain you.


Another method you might try is to tickle your feet with a vibrator. You will surely be creating a much more sexually charged session with the vibrator present, but if that’s what you are going for, a vibrator set on High will definitely get you giggling when you trace it on the soles of your feet. A girlfriend of mine told me once that she and her boyfriend used an electric toothbrush with soft bristles to similar effect. She said she never laughed so hard in her life!


Be creative, and if you think of the audience you have on the webcam! You are surely not alone when you are playing with foot tickling fetish on your webcam.



Femdom Bondage and Torment, overcoming performing alone

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome when performing as a femdom fetish model is that much of what makes the fetish so sexy and appealing is that it involves a power exchange between two people: the woman dominates, the man submits. The imagery most associated with female domination involves bondage and discipline, elements that are challenging to conjure when you are working remotely from your clients and interacting over webcam.

So if you have a client who is eager to explore bondage, discipline or another masochistic fetishes, you have to be able to dominate verbally. Much like the earlier post on femdom humiliation, specific instructions are required. If your client wants to be tied up, you tell him how you want him to do it. If he does it correctly, reward him, if not, chastise him or request he punish himself. This sort of femdom bondage roleplay benefits greatly from two way cameras. Get you client to enable his webcam so you can watch him.

Activities that you can share in this matter could include CBT play (Cock and Ball Torture), self bondage, forced feminization (instruct your client to wear women’s clothes and makeup) and forced stripping.

Another alternative you can try to enhance CBT fetish play is to bring a realistic looking dildo into the session. Now that you have a substitute for your client’s own genitalia (and make sure you note how much bigger it is that your client’s own genitals), you can demonstrate how you would tie up his penis, or as the session escalates in intensity, you can try using scissors on the phallus, or even a lit cigarette!

These are just a few ideas on how you can bridge the virtual gap that divides you and your fetish modeling client. If you can overcome the difficulty of being required to physically dominate another person while you are alone, you will be very successful It takes time, practice and patience, but if you can verbalize and get obedience and submission from your clients, you will be well rewarded.

If you have trouble overcoming that lack of physical proximity, use a stand in, like a dildo, or a photograph, or even a doll. It’s about creating a fantasy experience that allows the client to feel submissive and grateful.



Advanced Foot Fetish Modeling: Wet and Messy

Now don’t run off screaming because of the title of this post…wet and messy is a hot fetish that dedicated foot fetish models undoubtedly gets lots of requests for. There’s something very primal about mushing your feet around in something wet and slimy that appeals to a very deep part of the human brain, and even if you aren’t turned on by it, at least you can have fun with it while your clients who do love it really get turned on.


wet and messy foot fetish modelingSo what are the elements of Wet and Messy Fetish, otherwise known as wamplay or sploshing, specifically as it pertains to feet? Wamplay involves smearing or dipping your feet in substances like whipped cream, mud, shaving foam, custard, ice cream, pudding, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, etc and showing off the resulting mess to your clients on your webcam.


Logistically, the more advance planning you can do, the better. Instead of performing in your bedroom or a carpeted area, you might want to consider performing somewhere like the kitchen or bathroom; an area with a tiled floor and easily wiped surfaces will be preferable when you are filming your wet and messy foot fetish scenes. Failing that, at least lay out some plastic sheeting over anything hard to clean or anything you find particularly valuable.


Next, it probably goes without saying that you should keep your brand new $500 cocktail dress in the closet while you are doing wet and messy foot fetish scenes. You could try wearing a bathing suit, or at least old clothes you don’t mind getting a bit stained up. Finally, keep a basin of water and a towel at the ready just off camera for clean up.


Your clients looking for wamplay and sploshing will have specific requests, but the key is to go slow and tease; don’t give away the whole show until you have client sin the private chat area and even then, make sure you draw out the tease.


To ensure client satisfaction, make sure you let your clients know in advance you will be doing a wet and messy show, and if they have specific requests to let you know. This will let you be prepared, and if you get any unduly unusual or expensive requests (like premium champagne or caviar) you can ask your dedicated customers to cover expenses for these items up front so you won’t be out of pocket and holding the bill for an expensive no-show.


Whatever happens out there on cam, just keep a smile on your face and play directly to the needs of your clients. When you satisfy their desires, you will be rewarded handsomely.



Harder Foot Fetishes: Bondage and Bastinado

bondage_feet2

So by now you have probably had a customer or two asking (or begging) for bondage or other kinky stuff like foot spanking, known in some circles as bastinado or falaka. You may or may not know anything about bondage , but the foot bondage fetish modeling fanbase is out there and significant, so if you are game to try it. Go into it with your eyes open.

Foot bondage can be a challenge for a solo fetish model. Unless you are experienced at ropework, tying your own feet could be a clumsy, awkward free-for-all, not the sexy fetish modeling cam show your customers are paying for.

So try positions with a low degree of difficulty and a high degree of sex appeal. Practice your rope work on a single foot. Tie a small diameter rope or cord around your big toe and wind the rope across the arch of your foot and loop around the ankle, back over the sole of your foot and between the pinkie and fourth toe. Keep winding the cord, keep your pace slow and sexy and add some sensual moaning, and you’re on your way.

If ropes prove too difficult to handle, try a belt. Use a tough looking men’s belt, lie on your back with both feet in the air and belt both feet around the arches and loop around the ankles. Vamp it up and ask your clients what they want to see next.
Another sensual foot bondage fetish your clients will want to see is foot spanking, or bastinado. It has historically been a punishment for petty crime in the Eastern world, but it has a sexually charged undercurrent that your clients will find incredibly erotic.

Again, this is an activity that would be better if you have a partner, but if you are solo you can still make it work. Start by finding something you can tolerate being spanked lightly with, like a 12 inch ruler (metal, wood or plastic are all good choices) or a wooden spoon.

Kneel on a sofa or a bed with your back to the camera. Grasp the spanking object in your hand and turn around until you can spank the soles of your feet, and just go ahead and give yourself a slap. Chances are, you won’t be able to hurt yourself, so concentrate about making the best effect for your foot fetish clientele. Try and get a loud smack sound from the spoon or ruler for the best effect for your audience.

For both of these techniques, expect to put in some off-camera practice work to perfect a technique and increase your skill level. If you have a friend that’s willing to help you out, have them practice tying up your feet and spanking you. If you are choosing to explore this area of foot fetish modeling, the time you put in will be rewarded with lots of happy, paying clients.
