Webcam Girl Jen

Heidee Ho neighbor! We caught up with another great girl this month, Jen. Her site located at http://www.jensex.com is very well designed and has some great artisitc erotic shots for you to check out. As a member you can check her out almost 24-7 as she is online live all of the time. She has tons of shots to look at and had some pretty cool things to say, check it out.



TooSquare: How old are you? And what city do you live in?

JenSex: I live in Los Angeles. I moved here from San Francisco last year. I just turned 27

TS: Your site seems very popular; I see your ads, and links all over. How long have you been at it, how did it start?

JS: I wouldn't say it's really that popular. I started my site about a year ago and since then I have been working incessantly on it -- like 10-15 hours a day, 7 days a week. How I got started ... I studied and got my degree in photography and did freelance photography for a while after school. I was tired of kissing ass trying to get jobs because I'm not very outgoing and am not really a people person. I then got a 9-to-5 job in the fashion industry, and it was cool but after a few years I was feeling so uncreative and stifled. I thought of the idea to start a site about my fashion photography, and I was going to incorporate my boyfriend's music in it as well. Through my job I took web design classes, learned what I needed to, then quit and moved to LA. I didn't really look at any adult or web cam sites or anything on the Web before I made my site. It has evolved a lot in a year, and it's ready to evolve yet again.


TS: What ideas do you have for your site? How is it going to evolve, or does it just shape itself?

JS: Well, it started out last year as a multimedia site about my photography and my boyfriend's music; it was a couple's site. Then lately everyone thinks I run a porn site, and it's soooo not that! So I am going to make it clearer that the site is about me, my photography, Webcam art, diaries, random art projects, and not about my naked body parts and nude rock videos. Hehe

TS: It must be hard to keep the site where you want it, with many people watching you and probably requesting stuff (more erotic or porn-type material).

JS: I think part of the problem is where I have been promoting my site, so that lends to idiots and rude requests. So I am trying to find a better audience for my site now

TS: Do you do all the tech work yourself, design and connections; was it hard to set up the cam?

JS: Yep, I do everything on my site myself. I hate the technical aspects of the site, but muddle through it. The cam was a little hard to set up but now that I know what I'm doing it's easy to use. I am still learning a lot about design as I go along

TS: How are you going to change promotion for your site? It seems (from your friends list and such) that the majority of linkage and contacts you have are considered more on the porn side (for lack of a better word).

JS: Well, a lot of my traffic comes from Webcam and adult-link sites, and most of those viewers are probably looking for more typical porn. I exchange links with a select amount of amateur girls that I really like, or that have similar sites. The problem is that I can't find a lot of sites out there that seem to be similar to what I do.

TS: You have a huge amount of photos on your site. Who takes your photos? Do you do them all or do you have outside photographers?

JS: I take all the photos myself. I have two galleries on my site shot by outside photographers, but 99.9 percent of the stuff is done by me.

TS: That is real cool, what kind of camera(s) do you use?

JS: Well, before the Internet I used to just use my SLR or rent bigger cameras. Since the Internet, a lot of my pictures are just done with the Webcam, and then I have a digital camera but the digital is sometimes frustrating.


TS: As a photographer, how do you like the digital medium?

JS: I still don't care for it very much. Well, I love the fact that things are instant, but lately I have been spending too much time retouching because the digital camera just doesn't look as good as my film camera,
and I don't like the fact that my images are not high enough quality to go to print if I ever want to print them.

TS: I see in your journal you were discussing the various categories you might fall into cam girl, photographer, artist, etc. Have you decided where you stand?

JS: I have decided I fall into a lot of categories, but there is no one label that encompasses my site fully.
That's what I have been thinking about with the redesign of my site. I gave up labeling myself, and now I am just a girl with a Web site J.

TS: I was also interested to know if you decided on your stance on the word "nite"? (In Jen's journal, you can read one of her stories about the word "nite" as compared to "night.")

JS: Hehe. Did you see what I wrote about it in my journal? I still use the word "nite" as homage to the band KISS!

TS: I did, it (the journal entry) was great! Which leads to my next question: Did you like the movie Detroit Rock City?

JS: Yes, I loooooove that movie!! It is one of my all-time favorites!

TS: What other bands are you into? Are you a metal-head? Or do you like a bit of everything?

JS: Well, I have kind of renounced my love for music. When I was 13-20 I was sooooo into glam/hair metal and l looooveeed it, but since the death of hair metal I have been lost and don't like any music that much anymore, but I have tried to move on J.

TS: What were you like as a teenager? I'm guessing you went to a bunch of concerts; was the scene good where you lived?

JS: There was no scene where I lived cause I grew up in Hawaii, and I was the only one into that music in my entire school. I was a pretty average teenager. I studied a lot, went to concerts when they came to town and watched MTV constantly.


TS: Wow, Hawaii must have been cool. Well, perhaps not for a lone metalhead

JS: Well, there were other "metal people" in Hawaii, cause I would see them at the shows, but just not at my school.

TS: Oh yeah, I saw on your journal a mention of Metal-MTV. What is that?

JS: Oh, there are several MTV stations out there (in Hawaii) and there is one called MTV X, I think. It plays only rock/metal-type music. We don't have it here where I live.

TS: I think we have like MTV and MTV2 here in Tampa.

JS: I wish we had MTV2, but I don't want to get digital cable.

TS: Yeah, why fork over another $10 to the Time Warner Empire? Hehe.

TS: What can a person expect from the members' section of your site?

JS: Well, I have 5,000 pictures at this point. They are mostly artsy/erotic pictures -- some from the web cam and some higher resolution digital pictures. Then I have about 20 videos, which are sort of rock videos -- me dancing around to my boyfriend's music. Then I have a 24/7 streaming cam. Since I have no life, people can usually watch me about 22 hours per day live. Then I do shows with chat and audio three times a week, I have lots of random digital games that I've made, very private diaries and lots more stuff. My site offers a lot, but it's not XXX.

TS: Do you do the film work for the videos as well?

JS: The videos are pretty low-key because they are just shot with the Web cam. They look good, but not great. Soon I will get a camcorder and learn how to do the whole digital video thing.



TS: What kind of work do you do, or is your site your primary income source?

JS: At this time I have Jen's Ex and a few other small sites, and from all of those I barely scrape by. The last job I had was soooo awful that it has made me do whatever it takes to not have to have a job like that again. I love being my own boss

TS: Is that the job where you got fired?

JS: Yep, that's the one. You must have read far back in my journal!

TS: What kind of job was that?

JS: It was at a fashion company. The job itself wasn't bad at all -- some administrative, some work on their Web site and catalog, but the environment was terrible. I have done so many different things since college.

TS: Hey, that was my next question ... so you're a jack-of-all-trades?

JS: I guess I am. I know how to do a lot of things but I'm not an expert at any one thing.

TS: What would you say is the worst part about running your site?

JS: Hehe. The worst part is all of the idiots that e-mail me and chat with me that don't know how to type, and demand pussy and don't get that I'm not like that. It really gets me down, and I know I shouldn't take it personally but I do. And the other worst part is when no one joins my site and I make no $$ :)

TS: Have you had any real bad experiences form your site?

JS: No, nothing really that bad has happened. It's just a culmination of things that gets to me at times.

TS: It must be hard being basically live all the time. What do you like to do for a break?

JS: Usually I don't notice the cam, but at times it drives me nuts. I just went to SF for the weekend. I like traveling, movies, swimming, drinking coffee and reading. Pretty typical stuff.

TS: family and friends, what do they think of your work

JS: My site is on a need-to-know basis with friends and family. Most people that know about it think it's cool but they wouldn't do it personally. Some people who I told were a little surprised because I am not an exhibitionist and was pretty reserved before.

TS: Do you find yourself on the Internet a lot doing other things, or is it mainly related to your site?

JS: I would say 95 percent of my time on the Internet (which is the whole day) it is mostly in some way related to my site. If not directly, then it's me doing research, mostly.

TS: What happened with Natalie? Did I read she copied your whole site?

JS: She had joined my site and would e-mail me from time to time, telling me about how she was going to make her own site. She was cool, but then when her site went live she had literally ripped off my entire site.
I was so pissed, but I noticed she changed her whole site last week and it no longer is derivative of mine, so I am happy. I guess she just didn't get it that stealing is bad.

TS: Who are some of your favorite people you've met through the Net.

JS: Well, I've met a handful of Webmasters and girls with sites, and they've all been really cool.

TS: It seems like a thriving Web scene out in your area, lots of girls and sites are near you.

JS: Yeah, there do seem to be a lot of girls in LA with sites. I have met maybe four or five girls with sites (mostly cam girls).

TS: What is the most commonly asked question on your site?

JS: Umm ... hmmm. I guess it's, "Will you send me naked pics," "When will you get naked," "Where's your dildos," "Where are your hardcore pics?" I am trying to think of what else... A lot of times people also ask what it is I'm doing on the computer, since they see me on it so much.

TS: How long do you think the site will continue, as long as it pays the bills? Or do you see an end to your work?

JS: I plan on having my site for a while in whatever form it evolves into. I may branch out and start more sites, but am still really into my site.

TS: Britney or Christina?

JS: I love them both. I would say Christina, but I was just reading this great article about Britney in Vogue last nite and I do love her new video. Christina's makeup is a little too out of control lately.

TS: Favorite Cheap Trick song?

JS: "She's Tight"

TS: Favorite male and female actor/actress?

JS: Jon Bon Jovi and Rose McGowan. Hehe

TS: Most visited Web site?

JS: Live Journal, Amazon.

TS: On a side note, I have that stupid Mr. Big song stuck in my head today.

JS: Which song? "To Be with You"?

TS: Yeah!

JS: Yeah, that song was stuck in my head for three months a few years back, but that was just because my friend would sing it every day at work.

TS: A sentence or statement for your fans or future fans?

JS: "I don't want to work at Pizza Hut, I don't want to join the navy, I guess I'll have to go out and be awesome." That is from Henry Rollins, but I think it is cool and sums up who I am and whom I think other people should be. BUT pizza hut was one of my best jobs.
