Long post to share some gratitude, hot gossip & reflections ๐
(1) I finally finished all the personalized thank you videos!!!! Sorry it took a while, I didn't anticipate just how many people would let me know they turned auto-renew on within the first 3 days of my transition to a subscription model. But saying your names was worth it because I feel genuinely grateful & humbled. I want to send out this one last thank you to all of you who are still here. I can't wait to continue growing with you โค๏ธ
(2) On a related note, I had a strange experience today. I got a text from a vague acquaintance who didn't realize I do porn. They were messaging urgently, kindly expressing concern - "Someone posted some embarrassing videos of you online, do you know about it?"
Apparently one of my videos is up on some junk ripped site with my legal name attached to it. It's tagged as "leaked" and "exposed" (ooh la la! le gasp!) and, comically, "big tits" (pretty sure they didn't watch the video then ๐คฃ).
It's from a shoot I did with Jovan Jordan (check him out, he's a long-time pornstar known for his huge dick, but he should be better known for being a down-to-earth good guy). IMHO, the video is fucking HOT. I'm hardly embarrassed ๐
I don't love that my legal name is there because I go by Vanessa Cliff in almost all of my life, including with my husband and real life friends. My legal name isn't how I think of my authentic self.
But I'm not going to bother asking the site to take it down because I don't care enough & I don't want to feed into the narrative that doing porn or owning your sexuality is something to be ashamed of. To paraphrase Audre Lorde, ***"Anything you accept about yourself can't be used as a weapon against you."***
I publish content very publicly because I'm proud of the work I do & the community I hope we are building together.
***I believe in a world where we can fantasize, flirt and fuck with any consenting partners we want, in any kind of consensual way, without shame.***
I want to contribute to that vision through acting in and producing porn, sharing my real life slutty adventures with you, blogging, making online connections & building in-person community.
I believe that's a vision and work worth being proud of (even if it means I'm "exposed", oh so silly). I hope you do, too! Or y'know, at least I hope you get off to my videos, hehe ๐
