The Impact of Fetish Modeling

Fan Suggestion: I would love to hear you talk about what kind of impact that fetish modeling has made on you after starting your fourth year in the business.  I would like to hear about what observations you've made as to the evolution of the genre in the last 3-4 years.

Entering this industry I honestly thought it was a thing I would never get use to. I thought there would always be an inkling of uncomfortableness when shooting. And I was dead wrong. After almost 4 years of being in the industry I have grown to love it!

I love meeting new people, I feel that I am experiencing relationships and meeting such amazingly unique people that I couldn't find anywhere else.

I love being able to travel, if it weren't for fetish I would never have visited the amazing places like Las Vegas, Tampa, and Colorado where I get treated like an A list celebrity for a few days and become more culturally rounded.

I love the empowerment being a fetish model has given me, I don't think I ever would have learned how amazing and dynamic of a person I am. I remember telling Shakeshift in a conversation about my relationship " I don't know if you know this, but I am quite a catch." He just laughed and said " Yes you are and I'm glad you realize it."

Being in the industry I have grown to understand people. The fetish world opens you up to some very unusual concepts, but over time I've learned it all to be completely normal. I may not have a fetish for everything I get requested to do or hear about, but I do form an understanding for it. And I love having the ability to try new fetish experiences that I would not necessarily have in my own sex life.

As far as evolution in the genre, you see fads come and go. One year Super Girl may be the hottest hero to sell, the next its Wonder Woman. As with any art form or tendencies in life things cycle around in popularity. Same goes with fetishes. One year rope bondage is the most requested fetish, the next its pet-play. Nothing ever goes out of style, it just gets more popular and renewed at a later date.

Where It All Began...

Fan Suggestion: I would love to see an article discussing how you first got into fetish modeling when you were 18.  I'd like to know how you felt, and what was going through your mind leading up to (and immediately after) the first fetish photoshoot you ever did as an adult.


I get the question all the time from my friends " How did you get into fetish modeling?" And I always have to answer with " You don't get into it as much as it gets into you." It's a private and mysterious industry that chooses you to join rather than you choosing to join it. I mean how many people say " I want to be a fetish model when I grow up?"

So how did all of this begin? Well I guess it would have to be when I decided to dress as Wonder Woman for a convention. I had planned to do a duet cosplay with my best friend as gender Ben versions of Professor Layton and Luke. We actually had a cute little idea of having Prof. Layton's belt buckle be a sliding puzzle for people to solve and we'd give out candy.

Three weeks before the con she bailed on me and I had to scramble to figure out another costume. I happen to be watching one of my friends playing Batman Arckum City when we started reminiscing about the Justice League when it hit me that I should cosplay as Wonder Woman.

So I attended the con and the cosplay got me a lot of attention in the cosplay world. I started to have
various photographers ask me to do simple photo shoots, some paid and some for free. I kept declining because at a young  age my mother had instilled in me that any stranger who asks you to go somewhere is either a murderer or a rapist. Lol But one day on Deviantart I got a message from Shakeshift asking if I would be interested in paid modeling work. Normally I would have just said " Thank you, but no." But he happen to be the lucky number who made me think maybe I should try modeling and maybe these photographers are not all murderers and rapists.

Over the next 2 months he sent me samples of his work and explained to me what we would be doing. Talking to him on the phone I imagined him to look like George Lucas (I don't know why I guess he has the voice I imagine George Lucas to have), but I was very surprised to see he looks nothing like what I had imagined.

At first I was put off by the idea of doing fetish modeling, the idea of being spanked on camera and exposed was not a comfortable feeling. I told him I would only do very very shallow end of the fetish pool things, no working with other guys and no sexual content. Basically if anyone I knew saw it I couldn't get into trouble for it. He explained to me that everything would be pg13 and if anything else it's just bad theatre. He handled it all very professionally and if I were talking to any other photographer I may not have entered the industry.

The day of my first shoot was also the day I found out my roommate stole my panties and peed in them... But that's another blog.


So at our first shoot I brought my boyfriend along as a +1, I refused to work unless I had someone there who I knew would keep me safe. He sat on the steps and played video games while we shot, closely observing the whole time to make sure no funny business was going on. I remember telling Shakeshift about the YouTube video where the kid dresses up as Batman and tells his mom he wants Justice and a side of spaghetti for breakfast. Shakeshift laughed so hard that he spit his drink all over my boyfriends laptop. Needless to say my boyfriend was not too find of Shakeshift after that.

Once we wrapped up I asked Shakeshift how I did and he gave me a very vague answer basically saying we'll see how the sales go. I felt so worried like I didn't do well and I really thought that this was the first and last time I'd be hired. I was pleasantly surprised when he later contacted me saying the video sold amazingly well and hired me again. Which was great because I was (still am) a poor college student.

Each time we shoot I usually meet a new model and I always got super nervous that these ladies would think I'm a no good amature. But every model I have met has been openly kind and welcoming. I can't say that I've worked with a model I have not liked. I feel a sister hood connection to these girls some of which I believe I will be life long friends with.

And that is what I love most about this industry, there is an invisible connection between the models that places you into a group where you feel safe and even if you do not know them well you know they have your back. I have created relationships with these girls and even with producers like Shakeshift, Vesta, and Mike that I WILL NOT ever be able to have with anyone else.

Popping the Toe Sucking Cherry

The next morning of our trip started at 10am with a giant breakfast of 2 pounds of bacon and potato salad. After getting our fill Jennifer dawned her new leather baroness costume and X leather restrains for our next shoot.

Before we started filming Shakeshift and Jen went outside to get some photos. This was key time for me to goof around and sneak some pictures of Jen.

The video starts with Baroness struggling on the floor. Eventually Dr. Remorae comes in and negotiates with Baroness for her freedom. Once Baroness agrees she is free and we turn to wonder woman, played by myself, getting spray chloroformed. 

At one point in the shoot, after I am tied up with my magic lasso, somehow we got on the topic of licking and saliva. I express my distaste for spit, saliva, and any other liquid that comes out of the mouth. I don’t even like saliva from my boyfriend. It’s just gross and it makes me squirm. Shakeshift turns to me and says “Wait, Claire, can we do that? Will you let Jennifer lick your face?” My face says no, but luckily for my fans I love my job enough to do even the most distasteful things.

So I held back my disgust while she licked my face, and she licked it well.

After that Wonder Woman gets drugged up and deboots me. Then Baroness takes a sharp scary knife and proceeds to cut my pantyhose off of me. We decided to use the pantyhose from SISTER SISTER so we wouldn’t ruin a nice pair.

This shoot is also the first toe sucking shoot I’ve ever done. I was fine with someone sucking on my toes, but I had never put anyone else’s foot in my mouth before so I was a bit wary about the whole ordeal. I told Shakeshift the only way another persons foot would go in my mouth was if I got to clean it myself. We used a mixture of vodka and Listerine antiseptic with cotton balls. I was already hogtied on the floor when Jen came up behind me to clean my feet. She started to tease me and tickle my feet with the cotton balls.


Once we were ready to shoot we did toe tying with shoe strings and Jen went to town on my feet. We did toe biting, licking, and kissing. And I have to say I never really understood the whole toe thing, like how good could that feel? BUT NOW I GET IT! It felt amazing, still a bit weird because its new, but because it felt so different than anything I would normally feel it felt so cool. I definitely see why people are into toe sucking, and I would definitely do it again.


Once Wonder Woman gets free I give Baroness a taste of her own medicine and do all the kinky things to her that she had done to me, with a few spanks for some corporal punishment.

Whips and Bombs

The next shoot for the day was Sister Sister. In this video I play as the wonderfully bubbly and naïve Wonder Girl. Jennifer Blaze plays Wonder Woman, my older sister. The video opens with Wonder Girl tied to a chair and precariously perched on her legs is a bomb. If she were to let the bomb drop its all over. Wonder Girl fails, but it is revealed that it is all a training lesson instructed by Wonder Woman to teach Wonder Girl that she is not quite ready for man’s world.

This video took us 6 hours to shoot and ended up becoming a 3 part video. It was so
meticulous that the script was 14 pages long. Because of the length we had to shoot the video out of sequence, making sure that we got all the outdoor scenes in before it got too dark to film. Our whole time filming outside we were always avoiding cars that were coming down the path near our cabin. Jen and I were dressed in such bright primary colors that we were sure someone would see us from the road or across the open field behind the cabin.

One of the most challenging scenes in this whole production was the opening scene. I had to balance myself on two stools while tied up and holding a grenade. I couldn’t keep my legs perfectly straight while juggling all the other factors so we came up with the idea to tie a broom stick underneath my legs. The whole time we were shooting this scene Shakeshift kept worrying that I was going to fall of the chair and break my hip.

Throughout the video we added a few extra fetishes. The script was very dialogue heavy, so to make it more marketable we decided to add a few fetishes like debelting to please the Wonder Woman fans.

One funny side note from behind the scenes was the small black gags Jennifer and I used. The black gags were actually cut up strips from Shakeshifts pillow. This pillow was the last thing he brought with him from Wisconsin when he decided to move to Virginia.

He told us “The gags used for the cloth gag scenes were from a pillowcase I brought with me from Wisconsin when I moved out to Virginia in 2004. It was one of the last things from Wisconsin I still owned.”

“And they got tore up and cut up into gags”

“I loved those pillowcases. The funny thing was, i went back to Wisconsin two weeks later and I went to the place where I bought those pillowcases and the store had JUST went out of business”

Another scene that was extremely difficult for us, especially me, to shoot was the whipping scene. I was rigged to the rafters in a “Fay Wray” position, a classic bondage position where I am spread in an upright X. This was my first time being hit with an Indiana Jones styled whip. I was extremely nervous going into this scene and had no idea how bad it was actually going to hurt. But the worst part wasn’t the pain, it was the anticipation between each hit.
The custom script called for "10 lashes, no edits or cutaways"

And we would get to about 6 or 7 lashes, and the whip would snarl up or Jen would stop
because I started crying. We had to shoot it about 4 times. It got to the point that after the third time stopping I had to tell them to just roll the camera and not stop until we got the shot. The worst hit was the first because I couldn’t tell when it was coming and that actually scared me a bit. Plus the whip was hard to control so Jennifer would sometimes miss and hit my shoulder, head, or back. Once we got the ball rolling with the lashes I would cry from the pain, but once it stopped so did the pain.

Shakeshift felt so bad about the pain that he said “The only way I'll ever do a whipping scene again is with red licorice whips”. I would take that whipping any day.

Bushwacker's: Wynona "Juggs" vs. Wonder Woman

On our first day of shooting in the woods we shot two videos, a Wonder Woman vs. Bushwacker and a video for the Feminum series.  The original story if Bushwackers was an episode of season 1 of Wonder Woman, and featured 50's cowboy star Roy Rogers. The whole point of Wonder Woman wearing white jeans and a red shirt was because Roy Rogers was uncomfortable with a woman wearing a star-spangled swimsuit
His famous quote to Lynda Carter was, "I'm not even sure you're allowed to do that to the American flag, darlin'!"

So the first homage to this series was in 2010, when Shakeshift asked Vivian Ireene Pierce to do a mini-custom that involved a winter park and getting jumped by a corrupt sheriff. It did so well that in 2011 Shakeshift did a three-parter involving cattle rustlers capturing Wonder Vivian and Wonder Girl, played by Gabrielle DelMonaco.

In this third attempt at homaging the series in 2014 we decided to actually SHOW Walter Lambkin, but cast the role to a female, Jennifer Blaze, and made her the evil half-sister of the original Walter Lambkin.

Although it is never directly mentioned in the video, the script implies that Walter Lambkin has a half-sister who is just as corrupt and evil as he is. She and her brother were supposed to share the Diamond H ranch, but Walter swindles it away from his sister in a high-stakes poker game after getting her drunk. Wynona "Juggs" Lambkin suspects foul play, but can't legally get her half of the ranch back because she's not direct blood kin. And in the 1940's, it was very hard for women to legally own large pieces of real estate.

When shooting Jennifer, Shakeshift, and I kept commenting on the large and revealing size of her breast in the Wynona costume. Jennifer said “They should just call me Juggs”. Hence, we started to nickname Jennifer’s character Wynona “Juggs” throughout the video.

This video was very bittersweet to shoot. I was so excited to shoot outside, something I feel we do not have the ability to do enough. I feel that taking the shot out of the confining walls of the house or studio we work in refreshes the models and it gives the fans a new environment in their videos to make it more exciting. Going outside to shoot is why I love going on modeling tours to new areas, like the cabin in the woods.

Let me start off by clarifying, our combat while shooting is STAGE COMBAT. This means we do not make contact when fighting and if we do it is VERY light. In the realm outside of fetish I am not a fighter and I do not have super strength. Any injuries while filming that I have suffered from have been that of my own cause, until my last shoot.

In the Bushwackers shoot there is a particular scene where Wynona pins Wonder Woman against a tree. Wynona is fighting Wonder Woman and gains the upper hand. In order to show how powerful Wynona “Juggs” was I threw myself back into the tree when she “punched” me in the stomach. In the moment my hair was completely covering my face and I could not see. I still felt comfortable doing combat blind because 1: “Juggs” had the upper hand and I would be taking most of the “punches” rather than giving them and 2: The stage directions we were given said to ONLY hit the stomach area. We are always very careful not to hit the money maker (a.k.a. the face).

Whether it was in the heat of the moment or a slip of the hand I don’t know. What I do know is that while I was blinded by my hair I took the full heat of a punch to my jaw. This is the first time I’ve ever taken a punch to the face and I did not like it.
Shakeshift ended up removing that footage from the final cut. We did not want to glorify the punch in the face, since this is not a representation of the work we do, by leaving it in the video.

This shoot also held an additional new experience for me. This was the first ‘ass fetish’ video I’ve done. In the video both women get poisoned by an angry rattlesnake. To stop the poison from spreading Wynona and Wonder Woman had to suck the poison out of each other’s asses. This video is also the first fetish video we’ve done where Wonder Woman reforms an evil person by saving their life and they repay the kindness by saving WW's life. This is something that WW did all of the time in the TV show and in the comics, but is almost never covered in the world of fetish.
By the end of the shoot it was 95 degrees outside and Jennifer’s Black cowboy shirt was soaked with sweat. My white jeans were so badly stained with grass that it took five washed for Shakeshift to get the stains out. There are also a ton of bloopers from this video because we either fell down, got our heels stuck in the grass, or started to overheat.

Into the Woods We Go

As Shakeshift and I drove up to the lodge we saw Jennifer Blaze already making herself comfortable on the porch. The lady who owns the lodge gave us incorrect directions to the lodge so Jenny had been waiting over an hour for us to arrive.

We unpacked the car and set our gear inside, the lodge was beautiful, very earthy with a 70's twist. The stairs, which were in the middle of the lodge did not have backs to them and only one side has a railing. So when you go up the stairs you see the ground getting farther and farther away and there is less to hold onto. When I was a little kid I was always afraid of those kind of stairs because I thought I would fall right through them. 

Once all our stuff was settled we noticed we had a little friend above our dining room table. Someone had left a Spiderman action figure tangles in the chandelier tassels. It was so cute, yet ironically fitting. 


Since Jennifer was new Shakeshift and I had her try on every costume we could think of. We had her try on all of Shakeshift's catsuits, all of my clothes, and all of her new sexy play time pleather she just bought. She also had an assortment of shoes that I could only dream of having. I got to try on the mermaid tail in hopes that if the weather warmed up we could go shoot at a waterfall.


After playing dress up Shakeshift made us a lovely sausage dinner and gave me my gift from my Superfan. He had requested a running video of my wearing New Balance sneakers, which I did not have because they cost over $100. This Superfan was generous enough to gift me a brand new pair of pink New Balance sneakers and a letter thanking me for my work. I was
filled with so much joy that I could bring so much happiness to this man. In return for the lovely sneakers Shakeshift and I shot him a 5 minute short video of me running. This was also the first video I've ever directed so it helped give me a taste of what it will be like when I open up my own store.

After all the fuss of the day we still had to prepare for tomorrows toe sucking shoot (my first one). Shakeshift gave me a pedicure and massaged my feet so they would look perfect on camera tomorrow.
