Camille Crimson

I’m a really lucky woman for many reasons, and one of them is that my site has afforded be many platforms to share my thoughts and express myself.  Even non-porn-oriented sites have allowed me to come and spread the good news about beautiful porn…  That makes me sound like an evangelist!  :P  One such site is HoboTrashcan, which shares the best of pop culture from all corners of the internet and beyond.  We’re working on a monthly column of sorts called The Real Camille, which will meld my non-porn life with “lessons” about our sexual selves and our relationships…  It’s taking form still, but I think it’s going to be great.  For now, I’ve got my first piece up, which is all about our hang-ups.  Here is a little snippet:

The vast majority of the population has some really hard lines in their minds about sexuality and how it interacts in our lives. We’re told that there’s a certain way to have and enjoy sex – as privately as possible! Anyone flagrantly exposing their sexual life, especially for financial gain, must have something wrong with them, right?

Wrong! (At least as far as I’m concerned.) I can’t speak for everyone, but my journey into the world of sharing my sexual self came very naturally and has left me whole and validated in my life.

There is no real reason why sex should be private. Our culture has had a very damaging effect when it comes to segmenting our “private” parts and our “private” moments. Our sexual education comes from on high, skewing the information for entertainment or for wholesomeness.

There’s very little real, frank talk about sex, especially its potential for good in relationships and just for ourselves. Without sounding too lofty and optimistic, that’s something I’m trying to undo in the world. It’s a big goal, but I’m not alone.

 

There’s more where that came from and you can see for yourself!  What do you think?  Do you agree with my assessment and what other steps should we all be taking to make the world a more open place?

I wanted to share a few really beautiful pieces which have been sent to me recently.  The first one is a piece of fan art, made by Numero24, who is one of my friends from DeviantArt.  I think it’s so beautiful, it captures me really well and the playfulness of having me sucking on a straw is not lost on me.  ;)

Then I also received two really beautiful poems by two different source who I will keep anonymous.  One is in English and one is in French.  Here is the one in English, first:

L’Enchanteresse Rouge

One of the secrets of the wise
to know love’s revealed by her eyes
It’s then served up in countless ways
busy lips fine instruments of praise

Who is that lucky man she loves
Who lives the dream of dreams?
Oh what beauty Oh what skill
her ivory skin as smooth as cream

Cinnamon tresses tumbling everywhere
as she brazenly settles dare by dare
Always the red contrasting with the pale
Eyes tease taunt and shamelessly assail

Oh those crimson lips that ne’er retreat
delivering the thrill of thrills lovingly
Consuming the product of efforts and skill
I tend to wonder why can’t that be me

By now I know when dream’s just dream
But I once had an enchantress too
Whose eyes like yours did mesmerize
and whose lips made dreams come true.

Isn’t that amazing?  I think the imagery is absolutely beautiful, both physically and in the way it constantly hints at the art of a beautiful blowjob.  Here is the other one in French:

Ta chevelure est couleur de brousse au coucher du Soleil,
Crinière faite de myriades de serpents venimeux.
Je vois s’ouvrir à moi cette tenture tissée de mille feux,
Elle vient jusques à mon écran dévoiler des merveilles,
Véritables foyers vibrant d’incandescence ;
Tes beaux yeux bleus, Camille, qui attisent mes sens.

J’ai fouillé les mailles de la toile inextricable,
J’ai guetté sans espoir que ma quête aboutisse
Des frissons inconnus à nul autre semblables.
Et j’ai vu ton regard, tes mains, ton corps, et ta bouche complices,
Accomplir une danse aux rythmes envoûtants
Pour témoigner ta passion et honorer ton amant.

Ton art est éternel, notre jouissance éphémère.

L’ondulation hypnotique des courbes de ton corps
Laissent entr’apercevoir l’ombre de Terpsichore.
Un frémissement de hanches souligné d’un halo,
La caresse d’un sein ou un frôlement de peau,
Un baiser gourmand à la cime du sexe,
Une bouche sulfureuse avide de nectar,
C’est le vocabulaire, la grammaire complexe,
D’une artiste accomplie au sommet de son art,
Généreuse et sensuelle, tu insuffles passion,
Noblesse et perfection à toute fellation.

Camille, Pornographe, Artiste de l’Amour,
Tu as créé une œuvre à nulle autre pareille,
Prophète du désir, huitième des Merveilles,
Ta Lune est le Soleil de nos nuits et jours.

Le net sans Toi Camille serait un sanctuaire.

This piece is equally gorgeous, framing all sorts of similar ideas of beauty and eroticism which absolutely make me blush.  I don’t have time to translate it, but run it through a translator and you’ll get the gist, albeit not the gorgeous poetic element.

I feel like a princess, being cared for so much and immortalized in beautiful art.  I really, really appreciate this.

Today has been a really refreshing, recharging day to get creative and inspired for lots of great things to come.  I know I say that often, but it really is true.  We’re so lucky in this company to have the combination of creativity and drive that continually pushes us forward.  We’ve come leaps and bounds and we’re only getting started.

I recently shared some tips with Porn is my Nirvana all about how to make it in the adult industry.  I’ve included a few of the questions and answers here:

How would you advise a woman who wants to have sex in front of the camera and be successful at it?
You need to do it for the right reasons. Someone who is doing it to be famous or make a quick buck can be identified, and people would rather work with someone who is good investment, at least when it comes to more reputable companies. Know your limits, research the going rate for porn performance in your area and don’t go below that. The best thing to do is to find the porn that speaks to you and contact them about modeling. Get some simple shots taken to share. Look into possibly getting an agent. You could also go through cam work as another entrance into the market. Even make up some business cards and go to an adult industry event. There are lots of ways to get attention. When it comes to being successful after that, it’s all about being a self-possessed person.

 

Is it tougher for men to get paid work as a performer?
Absolutely. More men want to do it, there’s a lot of pressure to be of a certain size and to stay hard. If you’re not in LA, you’ll find it hard to find a job, much less any jobs. Unless you genuinely have the passion and drive to put up with a lot of low-paying jobs to make your dreams come true, being a man in porn is not for you. The focus is primarily on women, and male stars are the exception, not the rule. It’s unfortunate, but true. I mean, if you want to be a gay performer, that’s a whole other can of worms, but I don’t know as much about that.

 

I want to start my own adult website but have no idea where to begin… register a domain, and then…?
Get the content, know your brand, set up a payment processor, set up an affiliate program, get samples of your content out there, publicize your site to industry blogs, have a strong social media presence… There’s a lot to it. That’s why it helps to have a company that you’re working with. It’s a lot for just one person.

There are more tips on Porn is my Nirvana, so go check.  Has any of this inspired you?  Have any of you ever wanted to make a run at working in the adult industry in some way?

You all know by now that I have a big crush on Nigella Lawson.  She’s gorgeous, she’s in love with food and she’s a very sensual woman.  And that British accent!  I think she’s simply delicious.  I was recently pointed in the direction of this hilarious Youtube video and I just had to share it.

It’s a great compilation of a bunch of different episodes of Nigella’s various cooking shows, but put together so it sounds like she’s saying incredibly raunchy things, mostly about cream and clams and such.  It’s silly, but it’s also somewhat arousing all the same.  I think it’ just hearing that accent, using some British terms like tart for instance…  It all feels naughty and titilating.

I hope you have fun laughing at this little clip.  What do you think?  Does Nigella maybe secretly say things not unlike this video in her personal life?  I think there’s a lot to her under those gorgeous eyes and those incredible curves…

For Christmas, Sophie got me a few different outfits from one of my favourite lingerie stores, and this is one of them.  It’s a velvet bustier and thong set and I’ve got to say, it fits me like a glove.  I love the way it feels on my body, and Mike really likes the way it feels on his.  It was natural that we’d use the outfit for a video (that was the point!) and so we made this one, called An Erotic Blowjob in Sumptuous Black Velvet Lingerie, because that’s exactly what it is!

This video has a lot of really sweet and genuine moments between Mike and I.  I’d say that it’s one of our more intimate videos.  He sweeps my hair back at one point early in the video and I look up at him and we just have this perfect moment of connection.  Later on, I guess I was tickling his frenulum a bit too much and he started giggling, which got me laughing too. It’s kind of goofy, but it’s real, and that’s exactly what we want to be able to share through these videos.  They may look polished, but it’s just two people in love.

I hope you all feel the intimacy in this video and that it warms your heart as well as your loins.  Let me know what you think!  As always, you can check out the trailer, but the full video is where it’s really at.

A Monday Morning in Montréal from CloudRaker on Vimeo.

This is a great little video that has been making the rounds on the Canadian (and especially Montreal) side of the interwebs.  I get a lot of questions about how cold it gets here, how snowy it is and I certainly try to give my best description, but there’s nothing quite like seeing it for yourself.  This video was shot either this Monday or last Monday…  I’m not sure.  But that’s pretty much what it’s like here right now.

This is definitely not the most snow we’ve ever gotten, but it’s a good representation of this winter.  We haven’t had the nice fluffy snow this year and I kind of like that.  It’s been more of the icy stuff, which is pretty, but makes it difficult to walk around town.  Montreal in winter can be some particularly treacherous territory.  I guess that’s why a lot of us become homebodies in the winter.  Would you leave the house if you had a well-stocked fridge, a fireplace and someone to snuggle up with?  I didn’t think so.

So, is this what you expected?  Do you think it’s pretty or would you stay away from a Montreal winter at all costs?  I’m always interested to see what people like.  I’m more of a fall girl myself, but there is something magical about a sprinkle of snow for the holidays.  The three (or more) months of winter afterwards…  It’s a little more challenging.  It is quite beautiful, though, from the inside looking out.
