It’s been five months since I’ve dedicated myself to creating adult content. And for a while, I’ve been wondering what such a notion as “adult content” would eventually mean – to me, or to others. There is a wide variety of pornographic content on Manyvids; you come and see all kinds of kinks, molding to lustful pixel dreams in front of your eyes. When I first stumbled on Manyvids, I was amazed by these lovely girls displaying their sexuality on screen; it felt like walking in a virtual Red Light District, with colors, shapes, and cravings demonstrated in little frames – and I loved it. Still, although my excitement rose at the thought of taking the next step forward, the more I stared into this strange new world, the more I felt like porn was not the path I was willing to take. I was assaulted by all sorts of questions: “What if somebody finds out? Am I ready to reveal my body? Will there be consequences? Will I regret this someday?” And those questions swirled in my head, on and on and on, leaving me torn between fear and desire.

Nevertheless, and although I was trying to figure all these things out, I remember to this day that there was something I already knew about my future career: I wanted to create something original and specific, something that would represent the person I wanted to become in this industry. The foot fetish niche was something I already knew about; my feet had been complimented before, and I thought it would be a good category to explore since I was already comfortable with it. Ideas suddenly bloomed in my wavering, little head, ideas that aroused both my enthusiasm and anxiety. I felt a sense of certainty about this decision that lit my eyes with hope and ambition, dazzling me until I would find myself dreaming of money and fame, in the starry haze of my mind. And I kept saying, “I’ll climb this ladder, no matter what!"

Now, back to reality – a week later, on a March afternoon, I was recording my first video. I hesitantly turned the camera on, took my shoes and stockings off, and exhibited my naked legs, without going any further. Oddly enough, I realized I had rarely felt any sexier than I had on that white spring day. It was a sweet and sour mix of playing ingénue and femme-fatale; I realized I actually didn’t need to do anything else but be myself. And this is how I forged my own path in the ManyVids Wonderland – and this path I trekked each and every upload. Today, I’m specialized in girlfriend experience (GFE) foot fetish videos, and I’ve yet to publish any conventional porn on my profile.

Of course, there is an in-between from that day until now. It was no easy task trying to get noticed by the moving crowd – I was a tiny drop in an ocean of beautiful starlets, but I was rolling around, working for my chance to shine. I started by uploading free content on a daily basis to different websites; Twitter, Reddit, Xhamster, etc. I tried to give something of the “French girl stereotype” to my work: romantic, natural, artsy – amateur, but good-looking. Although I refused to undress, people started to follow me: they liked my pictures, my videos, my persona, everything I conveyed. I talked with them, peered into their desires, asked questions, while craving to finally become a late-night wet dream, a fantasy. They nicely advised me, and some of them eventually confessed that porn was not a prerequisite within the foot-fetish community, which deeply reinforced my decision of sticking to my niche. I understood I didn’t have to show my flesh to be sexually arousing. And so I resumed. I established a marketing plan, produced more and more free content while uploading my videos on ManyVids every week; but it still wasn’t enough. The exponential line rose when I decided to reveal my face. Again, I took some time to ponder that decision, trying to foresee what would happen if I’d forfeit my beloved anonymity to all of those invisible strangers looking at me through their screen. I decided to be careless and audacious: “I don’t care what people think”, I thought, “it’s my life, my body, and my goal.” And it was a game-changer – I sold my first vids from that point, and since the moment I made that choice, my earnings are increasing every month. I have awesome reviews, some of my followers come back every week for more content, and, most importantly, I am proud of what I have achieved. I’m an erotic model on ManyVids who found her place in a wide and fascinating virtual universe.

In the end, what’s the moral of this strange little tale of mine? It depends on how you’re willing to interpret it. As for me, I think the most important conclusion is: do what you want to do; don’t force yourself into things you’re uncomfortable with but be open to change. Be rigorous, be confident, be different, and be patient. The Internet is limitless, and so is the adult entertainment industry – I mean there's room for everyone, and you can experience almost every outlines. Choose a niche, stick with it, and people will come to you. I’m sure a lot of girls went through a similar situation as mine, and it may be difficult, sometimes it may even be discouraging, but I assure you it’s definitely worth it. I am Trish Collins, erotic foot-fetish model, and I’m glad to be part of ManyVids. Even though my journey just began, I’ll climb that ladder, no matter what. Until then, who knows what could happen?

Guys and girls, thank you very much for reading me; be cool and always full of love! <3
