[01:00:00:00 - 01:00:02:20] I wrote like a wholesome book. You wrote a wholesome book?

[01:00:04:00 - 01:00:05:12] (Laughter)

[01:00:05:12 - 01:00:14:03] Say it louder for the people in the back. Say it louder one more time. Girls are meant to support each other in this industry. There you go, in any industry actually. Girls need to support each other.

[01:00:14:03 - 01:00:16:12] The shape of it, okay. I have one that's shaped like a dinosaur.

[01:00:17:16 - 01:00:24:02] And I have one that like pumpkins stacked on top of each other for Halloween. And it actually goes in? Yeah. Wow.

[01:00:24:02 - 01:00:38:14] I think that I, I think in the face, I come off very like sweet and ditzy and fairy like which you know, was nice. It's a like, I like that look about me. But I definitely have like a kinky more aggressive side that people are quite surprised by.

[01:00:38:14 - 01:00:49:13] Anything to get people commenting. So people always will be like, that's so dumb, like she's so stupid, but I'm literally, I'm smart because you've commented. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got them

[01:00:49:13 - 01:00:52:20] All I want is to be the best version of myself, and I've always had social

[01:01:04:21 - 01:01:08:09] (Music)

[01:01:08:09 - 01:01:34:02] here with me, Miss Avery Skye. How are you doing today? I'm amazing, how are you? I'm good, thank you so much for being here with us today. Yeah, thank you for having me. I'm very excited, I love podcasts. Yay, love it. So little birdie told me you are Canadian. I am. Where from? Vancouver.

[01:01:34:02 - 01:01:36:07] Vancouver, so I'm from Montreal.

[01:01:36:07 - 01:01:37:00] Okay, cool.

[01:01:37:00 - 01:01:43:07] And love having some Canadian vibes here. Do you still live in Vancouver? Yeah, I do. You do?

[01:01:43:07 - 01:01:49:16] You're lucky you're not there for, I mean, is it cold in Vancouver right now? It's actually warmer than it is in Miami right now.

[01:01:49:16 - 01:01:51:04] In Vancouver? Yeah, so

[01:01:51:04 - 01:02:40:04] Vancouver doesn't snow as much, it's really nice. It's good and bad for being a content creator because it rains most of the time. It does, I heard. So the nice days are nice, but that's like a third of the year. Yeah. I'm glad it doesn't snow a lot, but also I like to do snow bunny content, and so I kinda want it to snow, so. Grass is always greener. That's true, I mean, in Montreal, you definitely got the snow, however you wanna visit. I mean, in the winter, you should definitely go there. That's one thing that I moved here about a year and a half ago. I don't miss the snow, I don't. But when December rolls around and then I see all the girls posting like, cute little outfits and they're in the snow, I'm like, okay, that's cute. Yeah, I'm glad that my collab friend group, they live in a snowy place, so I just visit them in the winter and we get all the content as much as we can. I'm like, okay, I got my snow content. Amazing. Posted from December till March. Exactly.

[01:02:41:13 - 01:03:47:04] So when did you get into content creation? About three years ago, almost three years ago, May of 2023. Okay. And I started taking it a lot more seriously, I'd say end of 2023, and it's been just like an uphill, amazing experience ever since. Amazing, how many followers do you have on IG? I think on IG, I have a few different accounts, I think between all of them, it adds up to about 850k, something like that. Let me ask you a question. Why do so many OF girls have so many IG accounts? I will literally say this past week, almost everyone got an account taken down, including myself. Oh really? So my main account, and a lot of girls, Your main accounts? Their main accounts, and you either have to submit a dispute, if that doesn't mean you're approved, you have to pay money to get it back. So the reason why is because sometimes there's a risk, you just won't get the account back. So I'm glad I was able to get it back within a day, some girls are still waiting over a week, but there was this weird ban wave where everyone was getting their accounts taken down. Wow. So I'm glad that I still had my main. Were you verified?

[01:03:48:12 - 01:03:59:20] Not on that one. The main account? My main account that's verified stayed active. Yeah, she didn't lose her verified account. I feel like when you're verified, there's less chances. Have you realized that?

[01:04:01:00 - 01:04:29:07] Yes, so my verified accounts never been at risk for being taken down, but the views on that one are way lower. So I- Because you get banned, you get shadow banned, right? I won't promote you to other people. Yeah, I just have realized there's not really any way to win. So what are you doing? What do you do with that case? Because I feel like I've been stagnant for a while now on IG, like it's just- There were days I was losing followers. Like I was literally losing them. Really? It was crazy. So I actually slowed down my posting a little bit because I realized I

[01:04:29:07 - 01:04:33:21] was maybe spamming people. Okay. I took advantage of the trial reels feature as well.

[01:04:35:00 - 01:05:00:14] What can you do? Yeah. Okay. My goodness. And what made you decide to take the content more seriously? I would say OFTV was a platform that I started posting on. And I think I was one of the earlier people posting on it within the first year, and it was a huge success. Really? So I didn't have a very large social media following when I started it. And I got my first feature from

[01:05:00:14 - 01:05:01:04] OnlyFans

[01:05:01:04 - 01:05:31:07] of an OFTV video. And I was like, the amount of fans that flooded into my page overnight was just insane. And I had 15,000 Instagram followers, and it was like my highest earnings month. And I was like, okay, clearly your earnings and your following doesn't associate with each other. And I also just love OFTV because I get to create content that's for me and showing my own personality. And it makes me feel a bit more fulfilled than just kind of just doing the do. Doing the do, exactly.

[01:05:32:11 - 01:06:01:17] If you don't mind me asking, what was the video that you posted on OFTV that did so good? It was a Super Bowl video. Okay, yeah, that's winner. I hope you have another one for Sunday. I've made Super Bowl videos every year since. I made like a giant platter that was shaped like a stadium and it was completely handmade from scratch. You made it? Yeah, I painted it. I painted like a green, like the whole field and everything. And then I put all the snacks in it, and it turned out so good. It was a lot of work, but it absolutely paid itself off.

[01:06:01:17 - 01:06:03:17] That is wild. It was

[01:06:03:17 - 01:06:05:12] fun. It was just, I like arts and crafts.

[01:06:06:13 - 01:07:18:23] I wish I was artsy like that because when I'm on like Pinterest and I look at things, I'm like, I can do that. I can do that. And then I go to do it and I'm like, I can't do that. I have so many unfinished crafts in my home. Like my bin of art supplies is so mismanaged and-- And what do you have? What's your Super Bowl theme this year for your OFTV? I just did a Super Bowl predictions video because I noticed they featured a lot of those last year and I just figured if it worked well, I'm gonna do it again. Amazing. Is that, what do you post mostly on your IG? I would just say like, I've been doing a lot of collabs lately, so just a lot of collab content. I need to do more solo content. I like rage baiting. Anything to get people commenting. So people always will be like, that's so dumb. Like she's so stupid, but I'm literally, I'm smart because you've commented. Yeah. I won, I won. Yeah, exactly. You got them to engage. So give me an example of something that you would say. So like there's this trend I've been doing that's like mother and daughter. Oh yes, I did see that. Yes, every time. Okay, sorry, go on. Well, the whole thing is everyone's like, oh my God, the mom had her at five years old and people are like, she's so dumb, she's so bad at math. I'm like, but you commented. So am I dumb though?

[01:07:20:10 - 01:07:31:19] (Laughing) 50 million views on one of those videos that I wasn't very dumb. No way. I think I did see one of those actually yesterday when I was snooping through your stuff. That's okay. That's a good one. That one in mine. Do it.

[01:07:32:18 - 01:08:24:11] I don't have anyone though. I'm gonna have to put him brother. No, literally do dad, like five years apart and then just get anyone with brown hair as your daughter. I'm telling you it works. That is hilarious. I always let people like, if I have a viral video, please like copy it, use it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they work and I wanna see the people in my life get successful. I love that. I love that energy because in this field especially, I find that sometimes when you have friends that are in the same domain, they don't necessarily wanna see you win. So when you wanna see people win and you have people around you that wanna see you win, that's amazing. Because if you don't, it's just like. Girls are meant to support each other. Yes. Say it louder for the people in your back. Say it louder one more time. Girls are meant to support each other in this industry. There you go. In any industry actually. In any industry. Girls need to support each other. What would you say is something that people misunderstand about you?

[01:08:25:14 - 01:08:27:09] Oh, that's a great question.

[01:08:29:00 - 01:08:48:16] I think that I, I think in the face, I come off very sweet and ditzy and fairy-like, which was nice. It's a like, I like that look about me. But I definitely have a kinky, more aggressive side that people are quite surprised by. Okay. So, I'm gonna get too much in the details.

[01:08:48:16 - 01:08:50:20] (Laughing) That's a little sneak peek.

[01:08:50:20 - 01:08:53:11] Yeah, I got no problem humiliating people.

[01:08:53:11 - 01:08:53:18] Really?

[01:08:55:08 - 01:08:56:13] In fact, I love it.

[01:08:56:13 - 01:08:57:00] Stop.

[01:08:57:00 - 01:09:02:06] But at the same time, like I'm a switch. So I love all sides of it. I'm very open-minded and I,

[01:09:03:08 - 01:09:16:16] if it's someone's wish, it's someone's fantasy, like I just love doing it. I am so bad at that. So give us something safe for work, as safe as it can be, something that you would say to somebody who wants to be humiliated.

[01:09:18:06 - 01:09:27:01] Okay, maybe I'll say this in a nicer way. Oh God. We could beep it. We could beep it. So say it as you wish. Like you love the taste of your own

[01:09:27:01 - 01:09:27:02]

[01:09:27:02 - 01:09:27:22] Don't you?

[01:09:29:04 - 01:09:31:08] Oh my God.

[01:09:33:03 - 01:09:46:13] It's so real. The way you said it, it comes out so good because you do have like that personality that you're seeing people, you know? And I'm letting you know like that is literally one of the largest kinks on my page. It is so popular and no one expects it.

[01:09:46:13 - 01:10:09:02] Hey, it's LexisStar. If you've made it this far, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sticking around. If you are enjoying the show, I would love if you could subscribe. Now why would I ask you this? The more subscribers we have, the easier it is for me to bring on fun, exciting, and entertaining guests on the show for you to enjoy. So let's keep the conversation going. Now let's get back to the show.

[01:10:09:02 - 01:10:14:13] Amazing, and then when they see what you give them, they're like, "Hmm, I want more, right?"

[01:10:16:06 - 01:10:18:16] What is your favorite content to create?

[01:10:19:17 - 01:10:21:12] Would like social media or Onlyfans?

[01:10:22:16 - 01:11:14:04] Let's do social media and then let's do Onlyfans. I think for social media, I just love like putting the camera on and like just free flowing, looking cute. I think there's something so effortless about that. I love funny skits because I just, I have a humor myself. Yeah, like I said, rage baiting, like I have a dark sense of humor and if people can appreciate it, then amazing. But I would say, yeah, I don't know. Like I kind of just do it all, anything that you use. And when it comes to what you're gonna post, like what inspires you, do you just see what's trending, what's popping? I usually just like follow people and if I notice that they don't have a lot of followers, but the video blew up, I'm like, "Clearly something about that spiral and I'll do my best to recreate it." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you know, most of the time it works, which is great. That's amazing. How many followers do you have on IG? Did I ask you that, Rach? I think between 850. Oh, that's you

[01:11:14:04 - 01:12:05:11] said with total, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's wild, that's good. I feel like, you know, previously, I was posting a bit more risque stuff, you know, and then it's like, yeah, we get a bunch of followers and then, okay, well now I'm not-- Shadowband. I'm Shadowband. So now I started to like, you know, I'm trying a different approach where it's more-- I will dress like a nun, I don't care. I gotta save my account. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna start doing. I mean, even now we're on Shadowband, but even Bikini Picks, like if you're not by the pool or at the beach, it becomes, you know. The nice thing though is like when you have like big, I don't know if I can say boobs, but big boobs, but even if you're wearing normal clothes or full coverage, they can see your body type, which is really good. The thing is, because I'm quite skinny, it, you know, it doesn't always look that great. So I wear like double pushup or whatever, just to like try to-- I just size it a little bit.

[01:12:06:11 - 01:12:07:00] Sell my soul.

[01:12:08:02 - 01:12:20:10] How do you plan your days when it comes to creating content? I'd say every single day I wake up, I lay in bed and text my fans and figure out what I wanna do that day for like at least an hour.

[01:12:21:10 - 01:12:44:09] And I have really bad eyesight, and I don't even put my glasses on at that point, so I'm literally like this on my phone, like it's so bad. Then I make my tea, I do some chores, shower, and I usually just ask people like what they wanna see more of. I've done a million, like when it comes to OnlyFans, I've done a million like basic videos, so now I'm trying to do stuff that's more outside the box. I'll do my customs.

[01:12:45:16 - 01:12:51:04] And I find lately I've just been doing a lot more computer work, like organizing my content.

[01:12:52:05 - 01:13:20:13] I finally hired an editor, so getting an editor to help me with that. So I like the computer work side of things, better for not putting makeup on. Yeah, yeah, right? It's nice to have those days where we're just like, I'm just gonna sip my tea, go on the computer. I have so much tea. (Laughs) Have one coffee a day, and then I'll have a tea at night if I need it. So when it comes to OF, what kind of content do you do? I do it all. I've done like BG videos, I've done like

[01:13:21:20 - 01:13:22:04] GG,

[01:13:23:04 - 01:13:24:08] triple

[01:13:25:01 - 01:14:05:20] type stuff. Okay, go all in. Lots of solos. My favorite of everything is like monster toys. Really? Yeah, like tentacles and stuff. Get out. I'm weird. (Laughs) I'm weird. No, you're not, okay. How did you, they knew that you were into that? Did you just get one one day and you're like, let me try this, and then-- It's so funny, like the only thing I can, so yes, I had a friend that was into it and she introduced me to it, and I was like, hey, it's actually so fun. But the first memory I can think of was literally a YouTube video by Ray William Johnson where he was like talking about stereotypes all over the world, and the Japanese stereotype was like hentai tentacle

[01:14:06:03 - 01:14:23:20] Okay. And that is like the memory that locked it in for me. And then you were like, I'm gonna try this out. Yeah. And how has it progressed? Did you start off with something and then go bigger? It's not necessarily the size, it's more like the shape of things. The shape of it, okay. I have one that's shaped like a dinosaur,

[01:14:24:20 - 01:14:30:12] and I have one that like pumpkins stacked on top of each other for Halloween. And it actually goes in? Yeah.

[01:14:30:12 - 01:14:33:17] Wow. It's hard. Like I can't go all the way.

[01:14:35:00 - 01:14:39:11] Now that you're talking about this, I feel like maybe you did pop up in my explore page. Yeah.

[01:14:40:17 - 01:14:50:03] I actually, I'm really lucky. I got gifted, well gifted, a toy company, I worked with them. They gave me like $800 worth of free product.

[01:14:50:03 - 01:14:51:03] Wow. And

[01:14:51:03 - 01:15:00:04] one of them is a tentacle that's like literally like this wide and three feet long, which I could never use. It's more for reels and like photos.

[01:15:00:04 - 01:15:02:13] There's no way it would actually fit in my body.

[01:15:02:13 - 01:15:07:06] But when it comes to reels, doesn't that get flanked? I don't think so, because it's so obscure.

[01:15:09:23 - 01:15:30:16] Damn. Okay. Like the dinosaur one doesn't look like a sex toy. Yeah, but the tentacle might, right? Maybe. Yeah, I definitely saw you pop up in my explore. Yeah. I just love being outside the box. Yeah. There's only so many like normal videos I can make. Mm-hmm. That's definitely true. Do you work every single day on making content?

[01:15:30:16 - 01:15:31:07] Definitely not.

[01:15:31:07 - 01:15:35:18] I work like two days a week, one day a week.

[01:15:37:00 - 01:16:02:00] I find that like I really get consumed by like being on my phone. They're all the same. And then the lighting goes in the day and whatnot. I've been like occupying my time with other things. Just good. I love it. Yeah. Yeah, and where do you see yourself? Like where do you see your career going to in the next little bit? What plans do you have for yourself? So I really enjoy this job. I don't necessarily feel like I need to quit it or anything.

[01:16:03:04 - 01:16:13:10] Like it's very fulfilling, but I do actually have like other jobs that I work on outside of this kind of as passion jobs. So like I work for a music festival in the summer because that's my passion.

[01:16:14:11 - 01:16:16:18] And then I also am writing a book.

[01:16:16:18 - 01:16:17:20] Oh, what about?

[01:16:17:20 - 01:16:28:06] It's like a fantasy book. Okay. Yeah, so maybe one day it will take off. Maybe it won't. I'm not sure. We'll see, but it's very fulfilling for me. How long have you been working on the book?

[01:16:28:06 - 01:16:29:02] Like six months.

[01:16:29:02 - 01:17:13:18] Oh, wow. And how many pages do you got? It's like 200 now. What? Oh my God. It's been really good. So I don't know if I'll make money off of it, but it's a very much a passion thing. And all I can say is I'm just extremely grateful that I have a job where I can take time off and do that. I'm not getting fired. I don't have a boss yelling at me. I'm literally just, literally I have my OnlyFans on one side on my one screen. And then I have my book on the other. So as people text me, I respond to them. And outside of that, I'm just typing along. Amazing. You know, I could just see the headline. OF girl turns into author. So I was thinking about that, but I wonder if that would be bad for my own. I don't think it would be bad. Didn't Camilla, whatever her name is, just like, you know, I'm still have

[01:17:14:08 - 01:17:31:10] and now I'm selling a course. So I think people, it's true. Clickbait. People are gonna be like, what does this girl think of? You know, and then they're gonna read your book. If I wrote like a smut book, I think it would work well, but I didn't write that kind of book. I wrote like a wholesome book. You wrote a wholesome book? (Both Laughing)

[01:17:32:23 - 01:17:48:22] If I changed it to smut, then maybe it would work well, but one day. That is hilarious. So I asked the other girl prior to you, if you had one superpower for a day, what would it be and why? It's so funny, because the book I'm writing is about like superpowers. Get

[01:17:48:22 - 01:17:49:05] out!

[01:17:49:05 - 01:17:54:21] Yeah, so everyone has magical abilities and each person has like one power that's very unique to them.

[01:17:57:18 - 01:18:01:20] That's a great question, because all the characters I've given have really underdog powers.

[01:18:02:21 - 01:18:03:13] I would say...

[01:18:06:18 - 01:19:32:20] Aptesticles? Yeah, aptesticles. I think it would be really cool to be able to transfigure into like other faces and you know, what's that word I can't think of? I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. Even the girl before, she gave us a good answer. I wouldn't even think of that. I'm just like, I wanna read people's minds or fly, you know? I think that reading minds would be like really toxic for me, because I love being blissfully unaware and blissfully ignorant about what people think about me. Speaking of that, do you care what people have to say about you? Do the negative comments ever get to you? How do you deal with that? I don't. I think that they're like, I've thrown all care about that out the window. I'm confident in myself and I don't have any shame about what I do. I think, you know, at the end of the day, I just wanna be a nice person in the scene and like a girl's girl. And like if another creator were to come to me and have an issue on like a personal level, like I would wanna resolve it. I think that matters more than like what fans or people think of. Hate comments, like bring them on, I don't care. But all I want is to like be the best version of myself. And I've always had social anxiety. So if a girl comes up to me and has an issue, like I want to resolve it. I wanna be the best person. So I care about that. Like I do care about how people view me in like a professional and a work sense. Cause I want other people to be happy and comfortable around me. Well, you're so wholesome. I love it. I love it. Thank you so much for joining us today. This was so

[01:19:32:20 - 01:19:33:09] much fun.

[01:19:33:09 - 01:19:44:23] And I can't wait for your book to come out cause I'm gonna buy it. Oh, I'm so excited. I'll sign it. Yeah, please do. I'm gonna send it to you in Vancouver. Amazing. Except the duties are way too expensive. When I come visit, I'll bring it over. I'll bring a

[01:19:44:23 - 01:19:45:17] box full of books.

[01:19:47:05 - 01:19:48:18] That is all for today, guys.

[01:19:48:18 - 01:19:54:05] (Music)
