SPEAKER_00 0:45

Thanks for having me.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

You're really welcome. All right, let's um let's start off. Tell me about your life growing up, um, your journey, and what that was like.

SPEAKER_00 0:56

So basically, I grew up um in New South Wales. I always worked in retail. I always had high ambitions to do more with my life, and I never really thought I'd start doing adult work until I actually had children. I found that doing retail and those sorts of jobs were really hard to maintain when you had kids, um, you know, putting them in daycare and things like that. And I just couldn't make the money I wanted to make doing those sorts of things. And I know people would be like, oh, why didn't you study? Why didn't you do this? Well, I didn't have the luxury of that. So I started doing a bit of adult work, and basically I discovered OnlyFans and thought, how great is this? I get to, you know, be a stay-at-home mom and be able to provide for my children, you know, in the comfort of my own home.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

Incredible. Um, and how initially did you get introduced to OnlyFans? Like, how did that actually how did you find out about it?

SPEAKER_00 1:56

I think I just seen it pop up on the internet and I was like, what's this? Like, what selling pictures? What do you mean? No one's gonna buy that. And then I had just seen the hype around it and seen, you know, what people were making. And I'm like, you know, I've got the confidence, and you know, you gotta you get a fair few creeps online on Instagram as in here. So I was like, why not profit from it? So yeah, I was like, okay, let's bite the bullet, let's just do it. And I started out just doing, you know, just lingerie and swimwear, and then obviously there comes the higher demand for the more, you know, explicit things.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Um, and how hard is it to do the content? Do you get nervous doing it?

SPEAKER_00 2:35

Um, when I first did it, I was like, oh my god, like, you know, I've just, you know, basically taken a picture of my boobs and sent it out to the world. Um, and then like now it's like nothing. Like, I'm like, whatever. Like, I am a confident person, like it's not like it's it's like, yeah, it's second nature to me. Like, I'm you know, I walk around the house naked, like, I don't know. I just feel like that sort of thing should be more normalized because it is, you know, it's the human body, and why not make a profit on it?

SPEAKER_01 3:02

Amazing. And um, where did you get the name Teasing Tummy from? How did that come about?

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Okay, so when I started the adult industry, we have to come up with fake names so people don't know our you know real name, and so we can protect our identity a little bit. And because I do have children, I don't want to go buy my real name, you know, because one day things come out, that sort of thing. So I was like, okay, what can I think of? And a lot of the girls have like, you know, I wanted to be a Scarlet, and no, there's a hundred other girls of that name. So I was like, oh, I need it, I need like a kind of boring name that's basic. So I was like, Temmie, okay, Tammy will do. No one has Temmie, okay, great. And then I'm like, I wanted to have like a little ring to it. So I was like, um, teasing Tammy, okay, teasing Tammy, and then that's how it stuck.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

Cool. And um, all right, tell me about obviously you've had a massive issue with your neighbor. Um, and obviously that's um, yeah, being obviously affected you. Tell me about that from start to finish um and where it's at at the moment.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

Yeah, okay. So basically I moved into a new area. Uh there's a rental crisis on the Gold Coast at the moment, so it's really hard to find a rental. So I was really lucky to find a rental in a gated area, and I thought this is really good, it's safe for the children, you know, there's low crime rate here, perfect to raise the kids, we're on the water. I didn't think I'd have any issues. Um, I joined the local Facebook community group for the street that I'm in, and there was a post, and I commented on there, and I go by my real name on Facebook, and a few of the women started to bully me on that. Um, they obviously clicked on my profile, um, googled me, and actually done some digging to find out because I go by my real name and they found out who I was, and they sent my TikTok and pictures of me to my real estate agent in a really malicious letter, um, not only discriminating against me, but saying, you know, my household's loud and feral, and we don't need people like this in this area, and really nasty, and then said they've made a formal complaint to the body corporate, because in a gated community, there's body corporates. Um, when I first got the email from the real estate, like they were really cool. I thought it was like, oh, we're just letting you know, like, we've received this, like they didn't care what I do, um, whatever. But they did say I was filming outside naked, and I know where that claim had come from. It was a TikTok, and I was in a bikini and I was outside, like it's literally PG because it's on TikTok, but they accused me of being naked outside filming. Uh yeah, I was quite taken back by that. It did upset me. It really did upset me when I first, you know, received it because I was like, wow, like, am I gonna get evicted? Like, are they gonna believe this? Like, and it did come as an instant shock. Now I'm okay about it because I'm like, you know, this really does raise awareness about the discrimination that content creators face. But not only that, like this person, she went by a fake name in the email because I'd done some little dig in myself. I was like, this person doesn't even exist. Um, I do have a feeling I know who it is. Um, we've spoken to the neighbors inside and they're amazing, they're really lovely. Everyone else in the street's been really kind since it's come out. Um, everyone's been like, you know, it's not us, it's not us. Like, that's cool that you, that's what you do, you do, you, whatever. But I have a feeling I know who it is. I think it's an elderly lady down the road.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

Yeah, right. Um, so it's all is it all solved now? Like the whole I guess problem.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

It really came from it only that the real estate were like, look, we've received this. Um, yeah, like they were just letting us know, giving us the heads up. They're like, you can film, you can do what you want, like it's your yard, you do whatever you wanted, like, that's fine. Like, and obviously they didn't believe it, but they were just letting us know that obviously someone is kind of watching me and creep me out a bit. I'm like, because you know, you're walking on exchos, you're thinking, like, who's watching me in my street? Like, this is weird. It's like I was only gonna buy a bikini, but now I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go submake topless now, I'll give you a show.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

Oh, that's too funny. Yeah, there's some creepy people out there.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

Do you um obviously with your profession? Um, do you, for example, if you were to telling someone that you just met or you knew um obviously what you're doing and you're open about, do you find that they're judgmental or do you find it awkward or sensitive, like I guess articulating it to them?

SPEAKER_00 7:09

People always just want to know what you make. They don't really care about much about what you do. They just want to go, oh, what do you make? Like, it's always about the income. Um, some people have said things like, Oh, aren't you worried about what your kids are gonna think about you when you're older? And comments like that. A lot of people are supportive now, whereas going back three years ago when it all first came about, people were quite negative toward it and been like, Wow, like that's such a taboo thing to do.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Cool. And um, how do you think it is positioned um now and going into the future, like the whole industry? Like, obviously, uh I read that there was obviously over a million people um a minute watching it. Um how do you how do you yeah, how do you see it positioned?

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Well, I know there's a lot of talk of AI, but I feel like you know, you can't replace a real human, and that's what people love, you know, about me myself. I don't have management companies running my page, and I know a lot of people do. And, you know, with being online constantly, you know, you're replying to people, they're getting that real conversation, you know, that girlfriend experience, you know. Um, so you can't replace that. I feel like there's always gonna be a demand for it, and that's the same with like, you know, just in the adult industry in general, like sex sales, and it's always going to be around AI can't replace it. I mean, in my opinion, I don't think it can. Um, but yeah, I feel like there's always gonna be a demand for it, you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

Do you ever feel um pressure to keep the content going? Like, how often would you actually do content?

SPEAKER_00 8:39

So um usually I try to plan like a full day of it, you know, in school hours when I'm, you know, at home by myself, there's no one around, or I'll organize with other content creators, you know, a day where we can all get together and try and get like bulk stuff filmed so then that way we can like pump it out during the week or the months to come. Sometimes I don't have to film for a week or two, you know, and I've made enough in that day or two days, and you can just kind of produce it, you know, during like the week and the months. So that stuff's kind of good because you know, like I I get sick quite often. Um always like tonsilitis or something wrong with me. I'm my immune system shocking. So it's good when you're sick and you're, you know, you're making money, but you're sick and you're at home and you don't have to physically work, but you you know, you're on your phone and you're replying to messages, and sometimes it does come, you know, time consuming. People are quite demanding.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

100%. And do you collaborate with other women or like how are the actual, I guess, other um adult uh creators as well? Like, what is it like a little group you have? Like, how does that work?

SPEAKER_00 9:41

Yeah, I mean, I guess you kind of reach out, you know, through messages and things like that. If you know they've got a name for themselves and you know, they can show like clear testing and things like that because they're all things that are like really important. I don't work with other guys, I just work with women. Um, I don't know, I feel like that's just more my my my my thing. Like that's just what I'm comfortable doing. I have worked with men in the past. Um, but yeah, you kind of just reach out, you know, see if they're on the same vibe as you. I mean, you're not always going to want to work with someone who's you're not attracted to or you know, it doesn't fit in your brand because you're put putting content out there and you want it to you want it to sell ideally and you want it to benefit you.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

Right. And if you don't mind me asking, how much do you make?

SPEAKER_00 10:24

Yeah, oh it's about six figures a year.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Okay, cool. And um, is this your ambition for the future? Like, what is it your end game?

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Oh, obviously, it's not a forever thing. I feel like I would love to, you know, make enough money to like save up to potentially have a brand because I've had a brand in the past, but there's a long story there. And you know, have a brand to have something to you know invest in. So then, you know, 1 am old and wrinkly, and no one wants to see me. I have something that's going to, you know, make me some money.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Yeah, cool. And um, how do you how how have you matured since first starting to where you are now as a person? Obviously, you've had that issue. Yeah, how has your character been built?

SPEAKER_00 11:03

I feel like it gave me a lot of confidence. Once I had children, I was really, really insecure with how my body changed. I had like two emergency seasons, so I had like the mum tum, the mum board, so to say. But it's so funny how many men actually like a mum board. And I kind of, you know, embrace and brand myself with that. Like, because I will show unedited photos, I will show, you know, that side of me, and it gave me confidence because people do want to see that. And you think, like, back, you know, going back two years two or so years ago, I'd be like, no, who wants to see that? They want to see the skinny size six girls, but no, people are really lovely. I mean, you do get some that are like, oh, you're you're fat or whatever, but it actually gave me confidence, and I feel I'm such a more confident person now than I was going back then.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Yeah, you're definitely independent. It rubs off, you can just tell. Um, what motivates you daily?

SPEAKER_00 11:55

My children motivate me. Like they're like the apples of my eye. I will do anything for them. I just want them to grow up having not saying to spoil them, but I want them to have the things that I didn't have and to have that, you know, mum around and to just be able to give them a better life. Yeah, it's always my kids.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Yeah, good on you. Should be proud. Well, um where do you draw your inspiration from too, anyway?

SPEAKER_00 12:20

My inspiration, my mum always inspired me. She was, you know, a single hardworking mum. She, yeah, she she done the best for us. So I feel my mother is always, yeah, my inspiration, my idol. And she's the reason I am why I am. Like, I always was open with my mum. We were like best friends, always had open conversations, and she's supportive of what I do. Like when I first told her, she's like, Oh my god, really? Like, you're gonna do that. Like, yeah, it's working. She's like, Good on you.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Yeah, really, yeah, good on you. Um, what's the best piece of advice you've ever received?

SPEAKER_00 12:52

Best piece of advice. Well son, whoa, that's a hard one. Best piece of advice in terms of working or in life in general.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

It can be whatever you want.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

Don't stress about things you can't change. So I've always been an overthinker. So my life advice would be do not stress about things you can't change. For example, you know, the opinions of other people. If they don't manage you, why should it matter? I always take the opinions of people that I care about, you know, heavier than what I would someone on strange on the internet. That doesn't worry me at all.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

Yeah, cool. And um for a young teasing company that's coming into the industry, or obviously even just contemplating doing it and you know, might not have the confidence yet to do it. What advice would you give um that lady, or it could be a man, obviously? Um yeah, what advice would you give them?

SPEAKER_00 13:42

For somebody who doesn't understand the industry, did you mean sorry?

SPEAKER_01 13:45

Yeah, or somebody that's contemplating it as well, right? Like that wants to do exactly what you're doing.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

Yeah, definitely do your research and really think long and hard about it because you know it is out there and it is forever. Things can get leaked. You need to be confident in what you put out into the world because you can't take it back. You really need to do your research, sign up to other creators, um, and just find your own niche because you know it is a very oversaturated market at the moment, you know. I feel like there's everyone doing it now. You what's gonna make you unique? I would recommend research, definitely, and feeling you know, way up how your you know, everyone else is gonna think of it, how is it gonna to affect you? Because some people don't care and others do. So you really need to think about those things.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Yeah, cool. And um, what do you like to do? What are your passions and hobbies aside from obviously your kids, your family, and um doing obviously your profession? What do you like to do in your downtime?

SPEAKER_00 14:37

Um, I love to go to the beach. I've always been a beach go. I love to go out to the beach, sunbake, I love shopping, you know, just the girly stuff, going to get massages. I love going to the movies. I'm a horror movie I'm fanatic. I just love horror movies. I love, yeah, just chilling, you know, you know, what I get free time, which is very rarely. That's just what I like to do.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Incredible. And if you're 18 again, and this could be personally or professionally, you could change anything in your life. What would you change?

SPEAKER_00 15:07

I used to care so much about what people thought about me because I was bullied in high school. So I would change the fact that it doesn't matter in 10 years' time or two years' time, even like nothing matters and it's not permanent, it's not forever. And yeah, I wish that I could tell my younger self that.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

You should be extremely proud of yourself. You're very brave, you're very confident, and yeah, you're uh you're doing amazing.

SPEAKER_00 15:34

Thank you.
