♡ HOW 2 BRAND YOURSELF & FULFILL YOUR DREAM AESTHETIC ♡

 

We're baaaaaaack! It's another ♡ emotional stripper ♡ x Angel Candy Shop collab ♡ 

This topic is going to be all about how to brand yourself + find your dream aesthetic as a SW'r & why it's important to find your OWN unique brand / aesthetic. 

So, baby strippers and SW's with a "what the fuck vibe am I???" crisis or wanting to rebrand -- this is for you ♡

☆ WHY IT IS IMPORTANT ☆

( This is a really unspoken thing in the industry and I personally have no idea why that's the case, but if if I knew this was a thing YEARS ago I would've saved myself so many weird phases / "aesthetics" that never suited me 😅 ) 

✗ Knowing your brand / aesthetic makes you more money, makes work easier in the ways of typically knowing who your clientele is, what to wear to work and people respect an ✨ original ✨ over a knockoff any day. 

✗ It helps you market online too! If you know you love certain things / look great in certain things / etc. it's easier to brand yourself online when you know you go for softer / girly / light colors or the total opposite - or maybe you're both! When you have an OnlyFans and know your colors / outfits, audience ( are they online gamers? just random guys bored at home? ) POINT IS: the more you know your brand and aesthetic - the more success you will have ( & I swear mental sanity bc stressing over this was exhausting lmao ) 

✗ This is an industry where “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” does NOT exist.

☆ WHAT IS BRANDING & HOW DO I DO IT? ☆

When we think of “branding,” we don’t usually think of people. More so companies- Nike, Chanel, Apple, Glossier, Angel Candy *wink wink*. But the truth is, personal branding can make a HUGE difference in our work lives. To prove this point, here are some women that we love:

Anna Nicole Smith 

Lil Kim

Paris Hilton  

Cardi B

Dolly Parton 

NOW! Stop and think about each of these women- you don’t only think about them, but also of the“brand” that they’ve cultivated. They’ve so successfully branded themselves that you automatically know who their fans are, how they dress, what they enjoy doing, and something about their ideals and worldview. 

You may now be thinking- ok, so what? How does this apply to me and the industry? 

HERE'S HOW:

Do we believe that any of these women only is the BRAND who is portrayed in the media? Of course not! It’s not that they are being inauthentic at all, either. But part of the branding in one’s public image will always be idealistic and involve some fantasy (Paris Hilton is an extreme example of this- she doesn’t even speak in real life the way she did for years on reality TV). It’s all part of the show. Think of your work persona as your “public image.” And what are you doing at work, whether you strip or do porn or cam? Selling a fantasy, and putting on a show! Knowing your personal brand / aesthetic will help you do two of the MOST important things in being successful

✨ STAND OUT in a highly competitive work environment

✨FEEL CONFIDENT which truly is the keystone of success for us. Thinking about this is great for both baby strippers and vets who have been feeling in a rut but aren’t sure what to do about it. Of course what makesus special as people, even at work, cannot be simply categorized, but in our industry these are four of the main and most popular “brands” or aesthetics. 

♡ THE 4 TYPES OF "BRANDS / AESTHETICS" ♡ 

( yes, there are some outliers / niche categories but I feel like these are the *main* ones! )

1. THE PRINCESS / GIRLY 

2. WHOLESOME / GIRL NEXT DOOR

3. PORNSTAR / VIXEN

4. GOTH GIRL / SUCCUBUS 

You can be a combo of any of these too, but Jamie and I made a quiz so you can see what category is most on brand for you! ♡

♡ You can take our "What’s your Work Dream Aesthetic?" Quiz HERE to help you find yours & get more info on what is appealing about each of them! ♡ 

After you have taken the test & received your results....these are the KEY parts of what each of the 4 

brands / aesthetics are along with what it means when you're a ✨ hybrid blend ✨ of any of the 4! 

You can be, and most of us are, a combo of these too!  There is an AC customer who *only* ever wears black, but it’s really cute, frilly black sets and lingerie. I’d def categorize her a goth girl princess! There is another babe who has a Marilyn Monroe vibe. Her work persona just OOZES sex appeal, but she also speaks to her subs very sweetly and innocently. I’d def think of her as a Vixen / Girl Next Door! Speaking personally, it was a HUGE game changer for me when I stopped pouting about not being able to “be myself” at work, and instead dove into the fantasy attributes men drooled over. I accepted that working in this industry meant playing a part, and focused on getting too “be myself” outside of work. 

You want to assess which of these “brands” feels authentic and natural to you, and then add in your YOU ness, to maximize your earning potential! 

☆ THE APPEAL OF EACH BRAND / AESTHETIC ☆

♡ THE PRINCESS / GIRLY GIRL : What this brand is great at is making men love to spoil them! She not only knows what she wants, but that she will get it. She brings out men’s desire to provide with her feminine charm and beauty. Clientele KNOWS she is luxurious and finds that desirable.

Princess Symbols: Pinks and Pastels, Perfumes,  Sparkly Outfits, Lace, French or Glitter Nails, Matches Makeup to her Look, Charm Necklaces, sparkly or clear 7-9 inch Pleaser heels, luxury bag for walking around on the floor or just a super cute sparkly / pink / white girly bag & lots of sparkly lipgloss!

♡ THE GIRL NEXT DOOR / WHOLESOME: This brand is great at playing up her innocence to activate men's desire to take care of her. She is pretty and sweet! She makes men feel safe, like they can talk to her about anything. They easily get lost in her dreamy eyes and are glad to help her pay “tuition”.

Girl Next Door Symbols: White and Pastels, Frilly and Cute Outfits, Baby Pink or Neutral Nails, Natural and Dewy Makeup Looks, Dainty Jewelry, plain white little floor bag, more conservative ( aka no g strings / slingshots, but more skirt sets, covering lacy thongs, etc ) Usually little to no work done and has a super natural looking body / face / makeup look!

♡ THE PORNSTAR / VIXEN: This brand is great at making men feel like she just stepped off

the screen of their favorite porno and can now be… in their lap, for a fee :). She oozes sex appeal and makes men easily spend on her by making it clear that’s the only way they’ll ever get near a girl like her. A sexy, non aggressive "fuck you, pay me" aura.

Vixen Symbols: Black and Neutrals, Body Oil, Micro and Fishnet Outfits, White or Red Nails, Smokey Eye Makeup, Diamond Chokers and Anklets, fake lashes or lash extensions, literally ANY type of Pleasers as long as it isn't boring and the heel is HIGH ( Sparkly, feathers, boots, heels, clear, crazy prints...anything to make them stand out in a crowd! ), sexy push up bras + matching thongs, lots of lipgloss and lip liner, sultry perfume, some work done ( or none! ) but regardless looks BOMB and hair / outfit / nails / body / etc is ON POINT.

♡ THE GOTH GIRL / SUCCUBUS: What this brand is great at bringing out mens primal desires and giving them a taste of forbidden fruit! Men love because usually not what they are used to having at home / real life scenarios so stepping out of their comfort zone is a true treat with this brand because it is so unique as a brand itself! She comes off as a little dangerous, but is so worth the risk.

Goth Girl Symbols: Black and Red, Tattoos and/or Piercings, Latex and Strappy Outfits, Winged Eyeliner, Black Nails, Collars/ chokers, smoky eye makeup & dramatic false lashes, black little floor bag or small black backpack, fishnet stockings / outfits, dark lipsticks or a bolder eye look with a totally nude lip, any hair color applies but usually darker hair or any hair color with some colors dyed into it or just an entirely full head of hair that's all red / purple /etc, leg garters, Pleaser boots, musky / deeper sultry perfume.

We hope you have had fun taking the quiz and finding out your brand / aesthetic or just learning more about your current brand / aesthetic! ♡

love,

emotional stripper ♡
