Recently, I have been reminded of something my former employer told me. She was explaining how busy she is in Second Life. As the owner of the X-Sisters empire, she has so many responsibilities. Jess is also hounded by adoring fans as the face (and tits) of the brand. She told me that the same thing would happen to me. And wouldn’t you know it? She was right.
Is It Any Wonder?
Jess and I have had a complicated relationship. We have a lot in common. I believe we genuinely like and respect one another. But she also fired me twice in less than a year. So, there’s that. After my first firing, I had something to prove. That probably put us on a collision course which led to my second dismissal. But now that X-Sisters is in my rear-view mirror, none of that matters anymore.
I have written about this in the past. Bimbo Luxe owes its existence to Jess and X-Sisters. I was already involved in social media as a fashion blogger before I’d ever heard of her. I would have continued my creative endeavors whether or not I worked at a sex bar. But it would have taken a different form.
While I was working at X-Sisters, I watched Jess very closely. I knew there was a lot I could learn from her. Jess presents as a force of nature. I think a lot of people – most people – just accept that at face value. Selfishly, I wanted to learn how to duplicate some of her success.
Once I had settled into my role as an escort, I observed the X-Sisters business model. I won’t bore you with the details or spill any business secrets. At a high level, Jess was in a different category than the rest of us. Her social media presence and ownership of X-Sisters made her a SL celebrity. Just like any form of fame, that comes with advantages and disadvantages.
I had experienced SL fame on a much smaller scale as a blogger. Sometimes people recognized me and complimented my work. It was nice. All upsides really. No one was banging down my door or making unreasonable demands on my time. I wasn’t famous enough for that. Just another blogger in a sea of them.
Too Cool to Fool
When I started working at X-Sisters, I hoped that people who liked my pictures would follow me to the bar. That didn’t happen. Every blog post is implicitly a call to action. “Buy this”. As a fashion blogger, I’m selling goods. But I wasn’t selling services. At least not sex work. So, I looked at the differences between my social media usage and Jess’.
I knew I needed to rebrand. There’s overlap between sexy fashion and sex work. But they aren’t the same thing. I needed a brand that supported that specific call to action. I needed to reach people who would pay money to fuck me. That was the original goal of Bimbo Luxe.
That plan went off the rails right away. I wasn’t allowed to change my look at the bar. And then I wasn’t working there at all. Here I was building a machine to create a following. And I no longer had a call to action to issue to my followers!
If it feels like my writing has drifted, that’s the reason. I’ve been in search of an end goal beyond just writing about my thoughts and Second Life experiences. I am genuinely trying to promote positivity and change people’s perceptions surrounding bimbos and bimbo culture. That’s the philosophy of Bimbo Luxe.
But what’s the call to action? Do I still need one?
I Reject You First
Which brings me around to a problem that is new to me. I experienced something similar in my days as a hostess at the Champagne Lounge. The demand for my time outpaced my supply. I am but one bimbo. And there are many who want to meet up with me.
That’s a fine problem to have when you’re an escort. Bimbo Economics will sort it out. Like me, Lindens are finite. I have not yet reached the point where people’s willingness to pay for my services exceeds my time. It used to be that money kept demand in check. That is no longer the case.
I have been looking into alternatives. I thought about working at a different venue. (I don’t want to say “club” because X-Sisters is a “bar” and that is very important to its identity.) But I have been enjoying my freedom since leaving the bar. I have also considered starting my own thing. That is just way more work than I want to do in Second Life. I don’t have that kind of time.
The thing is, I enjoy hearing from my followers. Especially the readers of this blog. Readers know me best. I can always tell when someone has actually been reading my blog as opposed to just looking at pictures. I like talking with y’all and I’m happy to meet up when I have the time. I don’t like rejecting people, but I have been having to do that lately.
Most people are understanding about my boundaries and limitations. Some are less understanding than I would like. I typically log into Second Life with a specific goal in mind. I might log out five or ten minutes later. Sometimes I’m just checking messages. When I’m taking pictures, I switch between different viewers for the best lighting. I’m constantly coming and going.
Lately, I have had people IM’ing me from the second I log in. “Are you busy?” I guess the idea is to catch me before I start doing something. But that doesn’t work with me. I logged in for a reason. If I’m going to be free, it won’t be until I have finished the thing I logged in to do. I appreciate that people want to meet up with me. But it can be frustrating to have to tell them “no”. Especially if I have to do so repeatedly.
I don’t want to block anyone. It may come to that with some people, but I would prefer not to except in extreme cases. I may have to start charging for my time, but I don’t love that idea either. I had someone tell me they were laid off from their job. I wouldn’t feel right taking their money. But I also can’t make myself available to everyone.
I don’t know. I guess I’m bad at capitalism.
Bully For You
My focus right now is on enjoying my Second Life. I have the best partner in the world. Some good friends. A thriving career as a fashion blogger which provides me with more outfits than even I can wear. And some daddies who give me anything else I want.
I’m a very lucky girl.
I also have this platform where I can share every little thing that goes through my empty head. I am very grateful to those of you who engage with my ramblings. I’d like to meet you all in world. Some of you may become friends over time. All of this is subject to my availability. Which is limited.
So please, be patient with me. I’m a very busy bimbo. I want nothing but the best for all of you. In the words of David Bowie, “What you like is in the limo.” What’s that mean? I have no idea. But I’m in a limo sometimes. And y’all like me. Right?
If you’re looking for a deeper meaning, maybe don’t read a bimbo blog, huh?
