A bit about me Claire de Lune

So I started I'm an artist who's always used my body, um, in a feminist political way. So um purely really because I am an older um fleshier body then um it it's political in itself because it sort of inferred in life that I shouldn't feel sexy, that I shouldn't feel desirable. Um and I I guess my activism within that is

um saying, yeah, I am. So when I present my body, I present it in a sexualized way, I guess, right? I'm I'm posting nude on on Reddit and Tumblr and um I post on Instagram and now on OnlyFans. So, um, it's definitely in a sexualized way. I like to think that I do it in um an interesting way, an arty way, if you will. Um, because that's still really important to me. So I want to um

I want to be sexy in the pictures that I present. I want, um, you to be able to enjoy them. Um But also I still I still need to feel um feed my creative side. and and then what makes me feel sexy within that. So I like to play also with costume and um different poses and editing the pictures up to make them kind of fun and and that kind of thing. So I guess I've always been um

I don't know if a sexual person is is right, but I've been described as vivacious and um voluptuous and um everyone thinks I'm really outgoing. Whereas half the time I'm I'm just so nervous inside, but I think I present myself well. Um I always have liked um dressing up. So I I like the heels, I like nylons, I like lingerie. Um I like all those things. So that is um part of what sort of came into my artwork.

And then what has come into to now that is has turned into a monetary thing for me that's especially helping during this pandemic time with um starting with only fans. So I would say making that jump to OnlyFans definitely is is a different um Recognition in the process of where I was going, what I was doing. It was making a definite choice to now take something that was. an art project for me, um, and turning it now into something that I was very aware was monetary.

Um, and so and wondering sort of how that worked and and why would anyone subscribe to my channel when they can get um porn free, right? And there are still of course thousands of people that that do that and that's cool. Um, I have sure appreciated people who have subscribed and have supported, um, and have recognized um that there is value in the work that I do. There is value in what I put together and what I present. Um

And that's nice. That's a really nice feeling of feeling valued and having um your art valued. And and also, I mean, I'm not gonna lie, especially when I first started on Reddit. Um I started anonymously, I would blur out my tattoos and not show my face and um and do my poses. And let's see, when did that change? I'm not exactly sure when that changed. But there was sort of the philosophy that if someone sees me on there then that means they're on there and so

what does it matter, right? It it um this is me, this is what I'm doing. And I then just showed my face, showed my tattoos, and was very open about who I was and what I was doing. Um but I was still really nervous. I still when I came to that had lots of um things about my body that I was very self-conscious of. Um all the things basically that we've been taught. aren't okay. Um, so probably the one I was most self conscious of is my tummy.

Um, and then when I posted pictures of it, um, very purposefully because that's part of the art is to present this body um as it looks. There were people who loved A big squishy belly. And so I I got to accept that part of myself. Same thing with cellulite and um my arms, I've always had a thing about my arms, and now I'm wearing my arms bare. It's So the feedback from those that were commenting on Reddit and Tumblr definitely boosted my confidence.

So it's not um it's not that I need that in order to feel confident in myself. I think You know, I definitely, like I say, present myself confidently. But there definitely is things that you I had in my mind that were unattractive are unattractive to some people, absolutely.

Um, everyone has their own thing, right? And so I'm definitely unattractive I I think it was Dida Von Tees that said, um You can be the juiciest, tastiest, and sweetest peach and there's people who hate peaches and so I think that's sort of what um I've come to is this acceptance of who I am. Um, being surprised how many people um not only accept but um really enjoy and and think I'm really beautiful. Um And uh so yeah, so there's kind of that

that process I guess. And so it's it's definitely sort of been something that's that's come around. So I still do um consider my work and I still paint and I still do photography of all sorts. But this my art project did kind of morph into this thing that grown bigger than I ever thought it would for sure. And um now I'm doing this podcast. That's so that's kinda trippy, right? So probably I'm I'm going to um kinda cut this podcast short, like our little conversation um now so that um um

Yeah, I think this is probably a good time time to do it. So I I will cut the podcast now and then I will um start again and do some reading and make that the next episode that so that uh This one's just a little five minute blurb about me and um I hope it kinda gives you a background and I don't know. Maybe I maybe I'll have to listen to it and see if I should be adding different parts. I'll have to remember some of the questions that people were asking me.

Anyways, I hope you're having a good time if you're Canadian, which I am. Um I hope you had a good Canada day as as complicated as that holiday is for us. Um, but uh and I guess in the States is coming up there July fourth, um, which I'm sure has Anyways, which is a big celebration for the state. So but I know there's people all over the world that are around and that hear and listen and Thank you. Um, thank you for listening. Thank you for watching.
