The former Playboy cover model recently turned 50 in April and signed up with OnlyFans last month.
Electra told Fox News, that this will be her “most exciting” work to date with OnlyFans, the subscription-based online platform where users can pay for or sell original content.
“It’s a common thing that’s happened to me throughout my career. I mean, I’m talking in the very beginning,” she said. “I remember I would go to the mall here in LA, and I would just go walking around the mall. I didn’t have enough money to buy anything, but I would look in the store and people would walk up to me and say, ‘Are you an actress? Are you a model?’ And they would ask me the same things and would say, ‘You should get into acting!’ Or ‘You should do this, do that, and I think with OnlyFans, I heard about it multiple times to the point where I decided to look into it.
Electra created her own page filled with lingerie shots and bikini pictures and has no reason to stop pursuing this new career.
“What I realized is that OnlyFans is a safe place where you can be your own creator,” she said.
“I have become my own creative director, my own stylist, my own visionary. You’re one-on-one with the fans, so they can do requests, and I love it. It can be really, really fun. And I’ve had a blast creating photos, getting videos, and just allowing my fans to follow me wherever I go on these journeys in my life. That’s exactly what I wanted to do.”
“There’s no one telling you what to do. I’m my own boss.”
She added: “It’s intense and very empowering. It’s so self-empowering. And creatively, I’ve always had so many fun and creative ideas, and there’s been times when I’ve been able to follow through with those with different projects I’m working on.
“There are other times when that’s not what it is. If I’m shooting a movie or hosting and that’s just not what the vibe is, I love doing my job and that’s fine. But, now I feel like I’m almost like my own editor and I can pull out something I don’t like. You know, I can shoot for days, take a break, whatever … It’s entirely up to me.”
Carmen Electra’s Tips For Those Who Want to Start their Own “OnlyFans”
HAVE FUN!
“Be honest about where you are and what your platform is and what your fans will see within your photos and your videos,” she said. “Be very honest, and be true to who you are. Stay true to your fans and the people that are supporting you, and have fun with it. That’s the message I’ve always had, and I always thought, if you’re not having fun, why do it?”
“I’ve always kind of gone with the flow,” she said. “And then there’s been times when things would get a little quiet. I went through that experience where I’m like, ‘OK, I’ve made this choice to be on my own. Let’s see what’s going to happen,’ and go through struggle and the passion that creates, you know, to get out there. And next thing you know, I was working for MTV, ‘Baywatch,’ I was getting booked for movies.”
