The other day I logged on to ExtraLunchMoney, a site used to sell pre-recorded and custom videos, and had the unpleasant news that it would close by the end of September. I'm so sad about the end of extra lunch money, it feels like the end of an era.

I love doing custom videos, and the "request" tab on ELM allowed me to read what clients were looking for, both to make a sale and to get inspiration for my own personal fantasies. It was the only porn site that I know of that had this feature, a place where clients could detail what they were looking for and have models message them.

This site helped me so much to grow my abilities and experience as an adult filmmaker, I feel nothing but gratitude for all the community. In honor of the closing of ExtraLunchMoney, I want to share some stories.

I remember seeing a request for a bathroom diary. That was the deal: I'd film myself in the bathroom every time I used it. It wasn't a graphic video, just a voyeur looking through the keyhole.

For months, I kept a tripod in my bathroom and filmed for this guy. I have to confess the first few times were a bit awkward, but after a while, it was like he wasn't there and everything was candid and natural.

Mr. Bathroom Diaries, if you ever read this, I miss you!

Since ELM was an escrow type of site, you could sell pretty much any custom work, not only videos.

For example, in 2016 I was recruited by a company that ran one of these sexy girls snapchat accounts. They'd pay me weekly through ELM and I posted content on their account, our deal lasted for about a year and I met a lot of interesting people who follow me until today!

Another feature of the site was the goal video, you could ask people to crowdfund your idea. Once I wanted a new vibrator, so I asked the community, and my dreams came true! The biggest tipper got to choose where I would use the toy for the first time, and I filmed myself leaving home with it inside my panties and boarding a train! We texted the whole time, it was so much fun!

I made so many friends on ELM, models and clients that changed my life! One of them even helped me pick the model of the professional camera I use now. It was a funny story, this guy told me he used to sell his older brother's Playboy magazines to his classmates for extra lunch money. And now he was the one funding naked models to have some extra lunch money themselves!

I wish there were more sites like ELM, with escrow and request ability, and such a vibrant community of performers and customers.

Here are some screenshots I took from my profile before ExtraLunchMoney was shut down.

ExtraLunchMoney is going to be missed. Farewell!
