Why We Should All Care about what Happened to @FinleyFawn

So last month a friend and fellow cam model FinleyFawn found herself the victim of both Parental Alienation and Discrimination by the family court for being a cam model.

Here's what happened...

Some of Finley's mail that had her stage name on it was sent to her ex husband's address. He already knew what she did for a living, but claimed he only just learned of her job when he received that piece of mail. The truth is that he didn't know her stage name until that piece of mail came. He finally had the info he needed to do a google search, found her twitter and clips4sale store, printed some screen shots, and then took them to the court and used it to get an emergency restraining order and temporary physical custody of their son. In the papers he filed with the court, he claimed that she was exposing their six year old son to sex work. Saying that she was performing live sex acts over the internet and filming porn movies with the bedroom door wide open while their son was home, in full view of him.

I'm telling you right now that those allegations are complete bull shit, and this a classic case of parental alienation. Being the victim of parental alienation myself, I can relate to what she's going through.

Parental alienation is a form of child abuse!  It's a group of behaviors that are damaging to children's mental and emotional well-being, and can interfere with a relationship of a child and either parent. These behaviors most often accompany high conflict marriages, separation or divorce.

These behaviors whether verbal or non-verbal, cause a child to be mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems, and/or the enemy, to be feared, hated, disrespected and/or avoided.

Parental alienation deprive children of their right to be loved by and showing love for both of their parents. The destructive actions by an alienating parent or other third person (like another family member, or even a well meaning mental health care worker) can become abusive to the child - as the alienating behaviors are disturbing, confusing and often frightening, to the child, and can rob the child of their sense of security and safety leading to maladaptive emotional or psychiatric reactions.


I'll tell you how I know that the allegations made by Finley's ex husband are bull shit too...

For the moth of July 2015, Finley was generous enough to take me and my daughters into her home (a lovely four bedroom, two bathroom, two story house) when we had nowhere else to go. What I can personally attest to is that I never witnessed her try to interfere with her ex's parenting time, she never spoke badly about her ex around her son, she and her current husband where nothing but loving and attentive parents when he was home with her, and she never exposed either her son or my daughters to anything "work related".

Finley says that this whole situation has done nothing but traumatize her son.

In my humble opinion, if Finley's ex truly had their son's best interest in mind, all of this trauma could have been avoided by simply approaching Finley in a respectable way and discussing his concerns with her parenting style like two mature adults.

It's really heart breaking to think about what Finley and her son are having to endure right now (as I mentioned earlier, I know what it feels like to be victim of an alienating parent).

Another thing that is really disturbing, is how Finley was completely discriminated against by the family court. The judge told Finley that it was pointless for her to tell her side of the story or present any of her evidence because she (the judge) had already made up her mind. I know that judges are pretty much "God" in their court room, and I guess that's what jury trials are for, but still... how a judge can conduct their court like that and still think that they are upholding due process is just beyond me.

This should be of concern to all of us, because if this can happen to Finley, this can happen to any one of us in the "adult entertainment industry" as well. And for those of you who aren't adult entertainers, know that this is much more than just a matter of protecting "sex workers rights"... It's actually a matter of protecting HUMAN RIGHTS! You can't cherry pick what rights should be protected based on morality. If we want to remain a free country, we have to protect ALL RIGHTS! But sadly, not enough people seem to understand this.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

I wish all the best for Finley and her son, as well as all other victims of parental alienation and sex worker discrimination, and pray that everyone will find the justice they seek soon.

Oakland Premier of Tales of the Grim Sleeper

Oakland, California 94609



Acclaimed new film documents the investigation of a notorious serial killer who terrorized South Central LA for over 25 years, targeting Black women. The film is a devastating expose of the lack of police effort in finding and stopping the killer, and the efforts of the Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders to get accountability in the criminal neglect of law enforcement.The Black Coalition’s theme since the mid 1980s was Black Women’s Lives Count, reminiscent of today’s #BlackLivesMatter movement.

The film also shows the vulnerability to violence of sex workers as easy prey due to their illegality. The police referred to these murders as NHI - no humans involved. The film was short-listed for an Academy Award.Trailer:

How to make Money on the Internet!

So being a cam model is a great way to make money on the internet, but there are other ways to make money online as well. I'm going to share with you some more ways to make money over the internet besides cam shows and/or uploading fetish clips. 
Note: for some of these, your going to need a PayPal account.

Youtube.com



Here's a great article on how to make money on youtube


Adsense.com

AdSense is a nice way to monetize your traffic, and very easy to implement. It's one of my top earners and has been since 2003.
Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search results pages. All this is managed through a program they call AdWords (pay per click marketing). You see these ads displayed above the free/organic results and along the right side of the page on Google.com.
These are called Sponsored Results, and the advertisers are paying a certain amount of money per click for these ads. It's an auction-based system that allows advertisers to compete for those spots. Whomever has the highest bid and most "quality" ad, gets the top spot and so forth.
Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text or image ads on your site. When someone clicks, you earn roughly 68% of the click and Google gets the rest.
This program is called AdSense.
It's a great program that can help you drive additional income to your website -- especially if it's mostly content based.
How Does AdSense Work?
The concept is simple. You display ads and get paid when people click and sometimes just view the ad (usually it's mostly clicks, though.)
How Much Can You Earn With AdSense?
The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.
Getting over $1 is probably very rare, although it does happen from time to time. However, you will find that most of your earnings will be on the lower end of the spectrum.
To learn more click here.


LivePerson.com

Do you have an expertise in a certain subject? Before I became a cam model I worked on liveperson.com (formerly known as kasamba.com), a website that allows you to charge money for your talking time. In short, you list what areas you have life experience/general expertise in, and list your price per minute. You can also charge per email. (The psychics and tarot readers make the most money on that site imho) You get paid out by paypal, or they send you a check.


Zazzle.com

For those of you who love making graphic designs, you can make money buy putting your art on things like tshirts, bumper stickers, and more... I found this one the most fun, but not the most profitable. But hey it's still an awesome way to express yourself through your artwork and make a little something on the side. I believe you need paypal to get cashed out with this one though. Or you can just buy other items from their site.

Qmee.com

Interested in earning cash for doing what you already do online? This has to be one of the easiest methods of making money online without really any effort or change in your behavior.
This innovative idea by Qmee.com rewards you for searching in Google, Bing or Yahoo. You just install a simple add-on to your browser and when you conduct a search there may be a few sponsored results alongside your normal search.


Each Qmee result has a cash reward attached – if you are interested in it simply click on it and collect your reward.
The best thing is there is no minimum to cash out.  The down side is, you can only cash out through PayPal.
You also have the option to donate it to charity.


OpinionOutPost.com

OK this is the first survey website I've found that isn't some scam site trying to dick me around. Although it only pays cash through paypal, or you can be paid in Amazon gift cards, Itunes gift cards, frequent flyer miles, Alawar games, prize drawing entries, or donate to the Red Cross.

There are lots of other ways to make money on the internet, the ones I listed are just the ones that I have some personal experience with.

Porn Star Takes California Bar Exam for First Time and Passes

Porn Star Takes California Bar Exam for First Time ... and Passes

California has what is considered the most difficult bar exam in the nation.

LOS ANGELES—The next time someone tells you porn stars have to rely on their physical assets to compensate for what's lacking upstairs, mention Heather Swift, who performed in approximately six titles from 2012 to this year under the name Holly Price. In addition to her work in adult movies and as a stripper, the self-described former porn star is distinguished for having passed the California bar exam the first time she took it.

Most people probably do not comprehend just how impressive an acheivement that is. According to Above the Law, becoming a lawyer in the Golden State is harder than in any other state in the union. "As we mentioned this morning," wrote Staci Zaretsky today for the site, "the California bar exam had one of its lowest pass rates in almost a decade. Just 48.6 percent of test-takers passed the exam, which is quite unfortunate.

"The Los Angeles Times notes that the pass rate for July 2014 represents nearly a 7 percentage point dip from July 2013’s pass rate," she added. "The last time less than half of bar examinees passed, it was 2005."
But one of the ones who did pass was Swift, a 2013 graduate of ABA-accredited Western State University College of Law, who, per IAFD.com, started performing in adult in her early 30s, working for Brazzers, Bang Productions and Pure Play Media in titles such as Girly Girls Like It Rough (2012), Seduced by a Cougar 25 (2013) and Real Wife Stories 17 (2014).
"I took the July 2014 California Bar Exam (my first time taking any bar exam), and I PASSED," Swift told Above the Law by email. "No, I did not get time and a half, nor do I have any inside connections to the California State Bar. …
"How did I do it," she continued. "Because unbeknownst to many, women in the adult industry are intelligent and can matriculate through a cutthroat tier 3 law school, and pass the hardest bar exam in history ... Perhaps society needs to relinquish stereotypes and overcome their jealousy."
She added at the end of her email, "As for those who snicker at women in the adult industry and who couldn’t pass the exam, stop laughing because a stripper porn star is apparently smarter than you."
Above the Law, rather than put off by Swift's feisty demeanor, expressed its admiration. "Heather Swift is a girl after our own hearts: she’s sassy, classy, and a bit smart-assy," wrote Zaretsky. "We wish her the best of luck in her new life as a lawyer. She’s already one step ahead of the game in that she’s already screwed people for a living, and she’ll perform her services even better if a client makes it rain. Any law firm would be lucky to have her."

I moved into a haunted apartment, and I have the proof on video

Yes that's right. I didn't want to say anything about it at first, because I didn't want people thinking I was a "crack pot". But ever since I moved into my new apartment, more and more strange things have been happening. The sensation of hands feeling me up and down my body in the middle of the night when I'm all alone. Then, I started waking up in the mornings completely naked, even though I would go to bed wearing a T shirt and panties. I decided I wanted to know just what was happening to me while I was asleep at night. So a few nights ago, I set up my web cam to record me while I slept... The footage I watched the next morning was both terrifying yet totally erotic.

New Book Coming Soom.

I just finished my first chapter.

This will be an easy to read manual with plenty of pictures and guides.
I won't guarantee that this book will raise your camscore thousands of points within a few months, or that in reading this you'll be in the top 20 on MFC in no time. But what I can promise you, is that I'll be honest in everything I've learned in my years of cam modeling, and give credit and special thanks to all of those I've learned from.

More thoughts about the “take down’ of MyRedbook.

I was doing some more research into the latest news on the MyRedbook ordeal, and I came across this comment in a reddit thread. User name ‘nacho-bitch’ had this to say,

‘So my friend Annmarie is one of the defendants (I got to pick her up from federal court the other day since the FBI was just going to leave her stranded in San Francisco). She is a contract employee (has a 1099 so it's all legal) that does all the moderation for the site. Her whole job was basically to make sure that there was no child porn. So yeah, she is now on house arrest and her child is in CPS because she spent her day keeping child abuse off that site.”


Well how to you like that? Yet another example of cruel irony. This was all done under the guise of keeping children safe. Yet, kids are five times more likely to die from physical abuse and eleven times more likely to be sexually abused under state run “child protection” care.

My heart just goes out to her. Although I don’t know her personally, she was always very nice to me in chat and came across a sincere person. I wish I knew how to get in touch with her so I could find out exactly what we can do to help her during her time of need. I’m sure that she must be in need of funds for her legal defense, as well as general living expenses. I don’t know what kind of money she was making working for Red, but I’m sure that if she was able to save up anything substantial, the Feds most likely seized it.
There has to be some way we could start a fundraiser for her. I’ve done a few in the past for friends of mine that turned out to be very successful. MRB had a huge following, I’m sure that if everyone who ever appreciated MyRedbook and is now devastated that it’s gone, managed to chip in, even just a small amount, it would make a huge impact on her situation.

Applying Sales and Marketing Stategies from Vanilla Sources

Researching, studying, and learning from sites like AmberCutie Forum, StripperWeb, and WeCamgirls is a definite must for women who want to be successful in our line of work. But it's important for us to remember that we can still learn very important information from vanilla sources as well. Although not specifically catering to those of us in the "Adult Entertainment" industry, there are still a lot of good blogs, forums, and even books that cover the subjects of sales, marketing, and just overall life/people skills that can and should be applied to any business field as well as all walks of life. 

Here's all of the best vanilla books, forums, and blogs that I can think of at the moment, which feel are a must read. I'll update this post as I remember and/or discover more. If you know of something I should add to this list, please let me know in the comments section:

XVideos.com for FREE Camgirl Promoting



I just signed up for an account on XVideos.com, and thought this was a really cool perk that I wanted to share with the rest of my fellow cam models.

You can get a "Pro" account on XVideos for FREE if you are an actor/actress, erotic model, webcam model, director/photographer, or adult site/company owner.
If you are a site owner without a real online personal profile your account will be tagged as company, instead of male/female.

Benefits of having a pro account:
  • Users can vote on your profile without being registered.
  • Anonymous favorable votes count as fans.
  • Users can view that you are a professional.
  • User uploads that match your name will be automatically linked to your profile.
  • You will be part of the xvideos Pornstars index that should receive a lot more traffic than regular profiles.
  • You can have a clickable link in your profile.
I was approved for my Pro account really fast, all I had to do was submit a picture of me holding up a sign saying XVideos to my identity verified, then apply for a Pro account.

Anyways, just thought I'd share.

Happy Camming Ladies.
