This is absolutely one of my favorite bodysuits. Last weekend I wore it out saturday night with a skirt and boots and a cropped cardigan (Because it IS winter). I felt fantastic, and absolutely love how it moved with me. No worries about falling out or an accidental nip-slip. So, when it was time to shoot this week, I knew that I wanted to do some shots in it. This orange chair is in a corner of my house i’ve never shot in before, and the lighting was just perfect. So it seemed like the perfect spot to do some photos for here, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and some naughtier nudes on my Patreon.
The problem, if you could call it that, is that this bodysuit is VERY sheer. And I was in kind of a naughty mood, which lead to a bunch of the photos being too hot for social media. I usually have one or two shots of me in lingerie in each patreon post before getting down to the nakedness. Sort of like this one. But I really like that photo. (Click it to see the full size version.) . It’s pretty fucking hot, and that’s the problem. Too hot for facebook.
The good news is, I have this space where I can post whatever I want, whenever I want. I often say when you’re playing on Facebook (Or instagram’s) playground, you have to follow their rules. Well, this is my playground, so F you to the social media prudes. I’ll do what I want. If you’d like to see the rest of this set that gets way naughtier, check out my Patreon. There are over 200 nude image galleries there, plus videos, snapchat, kik messenger, and more. Imagine similar poses without the bodysuit, and that’s what you get on Patreon. I hope you enjoy, I absolutely love making content for my patrons, and am so grateful to everyone who has pledged!
One of my favorite lingerie companies sent me this sexy white bodysuit. I’ve shot in it a few times now, but unlike a lot of pieces, I wear this one pretty regularly. It’s amazing paired with denim or a brightly colored skirt. It hugs all the right places and fits like a second skin.
This set was shot in an art gallery, but interestingly enough, this wasn’t the outfit or photo set I was there to shoot. (Here’s what I came to shoot that day) I sat down on this couch when I first arrived, and Vince just started shooting. As I started to get into the shoot I slipped out of the skirt I was wearing and then the magic started. I think these are really sexy photos, and I was super happy we took a few minutes before the actual shoot to grab this set.
Working with an experienced, professional photographer is easy. It’s a physically demanding job. I’m in the gym 5 or 6 days a week most weeks, and I am still sore at the end of every shoot. But mentally, it’s so much easier working with a photographer who knows what they’re doing. I love helping new photographers out, helping them build the experience and build a beautiful portfolio, but when you work with someone like Vince Ka, it’s just a job. Especially now, when we’ve had so many shoots together, we just click. The two of us can knock out five outfits and a couple nude photo sets in just a couple hours.
One time I spent two hours with a photographer and he only took three photos! He was so nervous, and was really frustrated that he couldn’t get his lighting setup just right. That’s one of the reasons I started taking Vince along any time I shoot with a new photographer whenever he’s available. If they’re struggling, he is always willing to help out if asked. He is so humble, he’ll never assume you’d like his help, but if you ask him he’ll do his best to help you make amazing images.
There isn’t a Patreon gallery from this particular image set, but there are over 200 nude and LEWD galleries there, plus tons of other perks like videos, my premium snapchat, chat options, and more. If you enjoy the work I do, I really hope you will consider checking out my Patreon. Patreon is about supporting creators who’s work you enjoy. It takes time, energy and a lot of money to create and run all of this. I don’t expect to get rich. I don’t expect to retire and travel the world on my patreon. I use 100% of the funds of patreon to continue to create. I hope you’ll check it out.
Full size photos available in the gallery at the bottom of this post.
This week when I got to the studio, Vince had built out a little ‘set,’ including the most adorable little blue loveseat, flowers, and some books from around the studio. Later, for some color, he added a couple of playboys from the rack of “every playboy ever”. One of them was the 1998 Cindy Crawford issue. She’s always been an idol of mine, and her Playboy set didn’t disappoint. She’s so amazing! That set inspired me to do my own take on her 1998 pictorial. You can find that topless photo set here.
Gotta get a few for my Snapchat Friends!
Vince and I work together so often, we have a pretty standard routine. First, we start with some selfies for social media and my snapchat. That usually only takes a couple of minutes, but I try to get some behind the scenes stuff during the time Vince is checking the lights and his camera settings for the shoot. It’s a nice way for both of us to be productive, as those first few images are always him dialing in the settings anyway. Sometimes I just sit around and make dumb faces at him, but mostly I get a few shots for my snapchat followers. (Snapchat is available here, by the way.)
Once the shoot is underway, we generally start with some full body stuff to show off whatever piece of lingerie I happen to be wearing. This particular set is from The Hustler Club in Ft. Lauderdale and it’s one of my absolute favorites. I’ve worn it in dozens of photo shoots, and it still looks great. I have such a huge variety of Lingerie, well over 500 pieces. I haven’t counted in months, but I’d bet it’s closer to 1000 now. It’s always amazing to me how with so much to choose from, I find myself continually gravitating towards the higher quality pieces. They fit better, look better, and generally hold up better than the cheap-o stuff. That said, I love getting lingerie gifts from my patrons and followers, and have a ton of inexpensive lingerie available on my amazon wishlist. Whenever someone gives me a gift (Wishlist lingerie, amazon gift card, Victoria’s Secret gift card, Etc) I always do a custom, one-of-a-kind photoshoot as a thank-you.
Once we finally got down to work, we knocked out around a hundred photos in just a few minutes. All of the photos from the gallery below, plus a nude set for Patreon, all in about 25 minutes from start to finish. If you’d like to check out the nude gallery, you can see it here.
As always, I appreciate every one of you that comes here to check out my writings and photos. You all mean the world to me and I couldn’t do any of this without you!
Lately I’ve been on a roll! Since switching to being a full-time model I have so much time for creating. It’s been absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be happier.
One of my amazing followers sent me this set from Victoria’s Secret. It turns out, it’s one of my all-time favorite lingerie sets. Now here’s the real secret. I often wear the top as a shirt with a skirt or shorts. It’s so beautiful!
There is one rule to growing a following on Instagram. Post great content. Sure, it helps if you’re already famous but anyone can become an instagram influencer. Here’s how I grew my following to over 100,000 in under a year, organically, without bots (Asterisk! See below!), buying follows, follow/unfollow schemes and other tricks.
First, let’s talk about what not to do. Do not pay for followers. They don’t hit like on your posts and they don’t ever comment. Those types of accounts inflate your follower count, but in my experience, real brands care way more about engagement numbers. With the constant algorithm changes, what constitutes ‘good’ engagement is always in flux. Currently brands are expecting between 1% and 2% for accounts over 75,000 followers. Smaller accounts can easily attain much higher engagement rates. At 10,000 followers you should be in the neighborhood of 15%.
Engagement is everything on Instagram
Don’t try the old follow/unfollow technique either. If you don’t know what that is, it’s pretty simple. Most people will follow you back if you follow them. So you follow a bunch of people every day, then the next day, you unfollow all of those who didn’t follow you back, and then follow a new group of people. The next day, unfollow all of those that didn’t follow back, and repeat. You CAN grow that way. But typically, those users aren’t engaged, they don’t really care about what you post, they just followed you back to be polite. Engagement is KING. Engagement is everything. Without it, you’ll never be successful.
Don’t use a million hashtags. Don’t use hashtags that aren’t relavant to what you’re posting. For a while I was posting a photo that may have been taken months before, and the caption was just something completely unrelated that was going on in my life at the moment. Making up captions is surprisingly hard. Making up hashtags to go with them is also surprisingly hard. Do the work.
Use a few hashtags, at least 4 or 5. Instagram allows up to 30, but don’t fall into that trap. Mostly because if you use 30 hashtags per post, you’ll quickly run out because repeating hashtags is bad. Don’t use the same hashtags more than once every few weeks at most, maybe even once every 60 days. Basically, if it says “recent” next to the tag when you’re selecting it from the list, don’t use it. If you are an instagram model, and your niche is posting sexy photos, be very careful about using hashtags. Many hashtags get burned by the ‘community’ reporting posts for being appropriate. If the hashtag “booty” is used on too many posts that get reported, the entire hashtag gets blacklisted. Once that happens, adding it to your posts does more harm than good.
Engagement is king. That goes for you, too. Engage with people in your niche. If you’re a model, find other models and comment on their stuff. If they comment back, follow them and keep commenting. People see your comments on their posts, they see that person interacting with you, and they’re more likely to come check out your page as well. This is the single most important piece of advice I can give.
Shoutout!
Share-for Shares are a double-edged sword. This is something I learned the hard way. When you hit a couple thousand followers, random pages will find you and message you about shoutouts. You send them a photo, they post it on their feed or story and tag you in it. Their followers see you, and hopefully come follow you. The problem is, if you look at the engagement rates of many of those pages, you’ll see that they are absolutely abysmal. Some of those pages have 300,000 or 500,000 or even a million followers, and the photos they post have 150 likes and 3 comments. You might gain 1500 followers from a huge page shouting you out. It’s REALLY tempting to do. I did it a lot before I knew any better. I gained 20 or 30,000 followers that way, and in the end I had to go through my follower list by hand and manually block 30,000 accounts, one at the time. They were all bots. At one point, over 50% of my followers were bot accounts. I’d grown to over 100,000 followers, but brands wanted nothing to do with me because my engagement was so low.
Shout outs are different than Share-For-Shares, in that they are for people you know. Those shoutout pages are pages run by a person, but all the content they post is from other people. Shoutouts are for pages run and dedicated to a single person. Shoutouts are fantastic, in small doses. Don’t fill your story with a bunch of them, people will just get in the habit of skipping your story.
Once I figured out the problem with inactive followers, I spent 5 months showing ZERO growth. Every time I would gain 100 followers, I would block 100 bots. At times it was incredibly frustrating. I’m STILL paying the price for it. I wish I could go back and do it over– almost. I have at times, been sorely tempted to start over with a new account and do it right, with all that i’ve learned.
The Dreaded Shadowban. Avoid this at all costs. When you violate the rules of instagram, they can outright delete your account. That’s kind of the ultimate punishment. But we’ve all had photos get reported and removed. You get a couple of freebies. But after having 3 or 4 photos removed for violating the community standards, Instagram starts to quitely penalize you.
Pasties keep you safe!
In all my research, I’ve never seen Instagram actually say that a shadowban is a real thing. I can tell you from my own experience, it absolutely is. There is no marker that says you’re shadowbanned. One way to tell is to use a hashtag, then have an account that DOESN’T follow you check that hashtag list. If they don’t see your photo, you’re shadowbanned.
The worst part of being shadowbanned is that unless someone is subscribed to you (they get notifications when you post) they don’t see what you post. New follows come to screeching halt. We all have people that unfollow us every day. The trick to growth is that we generally have 10 or 20 unfollows, and gain 50 or 100 new followers. So every day you’re seeing your follower count go up.
But when you’re shadowbanned and your content isn’t being seen, it isn’t showing up in any of the organic growth lists, you’re not recommended when someone follows someone who follows you, etc. So instead of losing 20 and gaining 50, you’re just losing 20 (or 100 or sometimes 200 in my case.)
When your account is doing well, you’ve got 10,000 followers, you’re getting around 1000 likes per post, and maybe 10 or 15 comments it’s pretty nice. Then you post a slightly more risque photo, and it gets 2000 likes and 100 comments. It’s tempting to keep pushing the line on the community standards. I’m guilty of it. I’ve paid the shadowban price for it. We all crave engagement, because as I’ve said in this post a number of times, engagement is king. When you post a shot in a sheer white top, you get lots of engagement. But you also risk everything doing it.
Read the community guidelines, and stay WELL within them. Don’t push the boundaries. Don’t try to be edgy. Building an active, engaged following takes time. Seeing it all fall apart is soul-crushing.
This week I visited the Wynwood Walls in Miami and I had an absolute blast. It’s not so much a ‘venue’ as it is an entire arts-centric neighborhood. There are the walls themselves, a beautiful park filled with gorgeous murals, patterns, and colors. In addition to the walls, there are sculptures, a boulder garden, and beautiful landscaping.
In 2009, Tony Goldman wanted to find a way to revitalize the derelict warehouse district. His idea: “Wynwood’s large stock of warehouse buildings, all with no windows, would be my giant canvases to bring to them the greatest street art ever seen in one place.” Starting with the 25th–26th Street complex of six separate buildings, his goal was to create a center where people could gravitate to and explore, and to develop the area’s pedestrian potential. (Quote: TheWynwoodWalls.com)
The area has come a very long way since that time. To be frank, there are still tons and tons of “reviews” of the place that talk about car break ins, and lack of safety at night. I’m not sure when those were written, or where those people chose to park their cars, but I had absolutely no trepidation about walking around the area at night. There was a solid police presence, and the place was packed. There were hundreds of people.
I was there for several reasons, number one, to enjoy the art and the beautiful weather. But also I was working. I had several items to model, glasses from Francesca’s, a white bralette from Mickella Clothing Company, and more. There were so many people that we often had to wait “our turn” to take a few photographs in front of a specific mural or background. I felt absolutely safe and secure.
There were a huge number of people getting their Instagram on. It’s no wonder. There were some breathtaking spots to capture some insta magic. I even helped a couple people take photos. No one seemed to have any problem handing me their phone to snap a photo or two of them in front of one of the amazing murals.
We toured the neighborhood three times, first in a beautiful blue dress from Etiquette Boutique and then in a white bodysuit and denim shorts, and finally in a tulle skirt from Francesca’s paired with a white bralette from Mickella Clothing and a maroon moto jacket from Charlotte Russe. I feel like even having made three rounds of the district over the course of an entire day, we still never saw the same thing twice. There was always something beautiful to see.
In the heat of the afternoon we ducked into Wood Tavern for a cold beer. The bartender was fantastic, and we spent almost an hour hanging out while the sun was at its highest. I had a Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen that was absolutely perfect. Vince, ever the stalwart fan, had a Yuengling.
Still waiting for the sun to pass overhead, we headed down the block to the Wynwood Diner. Vince had an amazing Cuban Sandwich and (ever the stalwart fan) another Yuengling, while I had another Floridian Hefeweizen. The bar at the Wynwood diner was beautiful. Industrial shelves lined the back bar all the way up to the ceiling, and were filled with perfect rows of vintage books, nick-nacks and objets d’art. Rows of fresh herbs in vases (Okay, they were in beer glasses) filled the back of the bar itself, but the aroma of basil, mint, sage, and rosemary complimented my light lunch of roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower perfectly. I can’t recommend the Wynwood Diner enough!
Next we toured the some of the art galleries, including one filled with items from the now closed Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. Two massive chandeliers from the casino, a white baby grand piano, as well as dozens of works of art, signs, and other items double hung on the walls made passing an hour in the small warehouse-turned-gallery an easy task. Everywhere I looked there was something to see.
We finished our round by stopping in Dasher and Crank. Still under construction, they had a small stand set up in their space, and over a dozen amazing flavors of ice cream. I opted for Earl Gray Chocolate chip, while Vince had a scoop of some sort of super-chocolate-everything deliciousness.
Finally, as the sun was setting, we made our third trip around the district, capturing an entirely new look and feel in the golden-hour light. I switched to a slightly more risque outfit, and we took another couple hundred photographs posing in front of dozens of murals, walls, and landscape settings. The light was beautiful, and as the late-night crew started replacing the daytime families, the blocks started taking on a whole new feel.

Once the sun went down and the street lights came on, we waited in a line well out the door at Coyo Taco for the most amazing taco salad I’ve ever eaten. The line moved very quickly, in all there were probably 50 people ahead of us, but I doubt we waited more than 15 minutes. The service was fast and despite the huge number of patrons and relatively few tables, we had no trouble finding a place to sit and enjoy our dinner.
While we were eating, the line got even longer. Dozens of people in festival attire showed up. As it turns out, Coyo Taco also hosts events, and that night DJ Sneak and Doc Martin were set to rock the house and their legion of fans were showing up to support them. Unfortunately, we were leaving early in the morning for the long 2-day drive home, and couldn’t stay for the set. I’m sure we would have shuffled the night away.
All in all, Wynwood Walls was an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. The graffiti art was absolutely world-class, the food was fantastic, parking was easy in the lot right on 2nd Street. They’re building 2 parking garages nearby, so those that have experienced parking issues in the past may soon be worry-free.
This last weekend I shot with a bunch of photographers in the most amazing studio I’ve ever been in. I have tons of individual pics from those photographers, you’ve already started to see them on Instagram and Facebook, and even Vero if you’re using that app. (I’m Elle DelSol there if you aren’t following me!)

Those photographers often give me a few photos from those shoots but since those are paid shoots for those photographers, they own the photos, not me. Which means I don’t have the right to put them here on my website or on my Patreon. Never fear though, I can post them in my portfolio and on my social media sites. So you’ll be seeing a lot of that coming up!
When I work with Vince, we have a different agreement. He is generous enough to grant me full copyright release images, which means I can make prints to sell, or add them to my patreon.
It works well, because Vince Ka is like my all-time favorite photographer. So, since we were both at the workshop this weekend, we stole away as much as possible to make some photos together. We were able to get enough for 3 or maybe 4 patreon galleries, plus a ton for social media for both of us. It’s a great partnership, and I’m grateful for his help in my journey.
Most of this “golden hour” shoot I was naked for. That gallery is on patreon. My patreon has over 100 galleries now, and all for $10/mo. I hope you’ll take a second to check it out. The galleries are nice, but the real joy of patreon is the friendship and connection it creates. If you’d like to get to know me, patreon is the way to do it.
Update: Apparently I missed the 2 when I told etsy I had 25 photos available to sell, and only typed the 5. So the store was saying it was sold out. That’s fixed now, I have updated the quantity to the correct amount and it’s back in stock and for sale. Sorry!
