I happened to stumble across a (re-uploaded) YouTube WAM video (circa 2009-2010) that I remember watching when I first realized I was into WAM. Does anyone know (obviously, without doxxing) what the name of the original channel was and if this person was or is active with WAM beyond YouTube? I remember being struck at the type that this was a female wammer intentionally uploading videos to YouTube. Thanks!

Yeah. She briefly even tried modeling with Ariel before creepers here scared her off. Which probably suggests the answer to your question and why no one will give you that information

Classic creepers; I miss the good old days when Regis would be facetious about their behavior. But, yeah she did a couple of wambabes vids, too in like 2011; it's wierd to me that it was 10 years ago now, it feels like yesterday.

I miss old school YouTube especially when finding cool things wam related by stumbling on them

Thanks. Yep, that answers that. I wasn't interested in knowing her name or any personal info (assuming the channel wasn't her personal name), just if anything else ever manifested from this. I'm still fairly new to UMD, and her channel was one of my formative exposures to WAM. More than anything, I was curious if she ever went beyond YouTube or if it was a one-off. Now that I know the answer, that's as much as I want to know considering it didn't work out before.

Her profile here is still up, but it looks like she hasn't logged in for almost a year. http://umd.net/profile/idtitle/xoreneexoxo

And more importantly, she hasn't posted anything to the account since 2012 apparently. Safe to say that she has left the UMD.

After a bit more research through the forum, it seems like she left shortly after filming videos with Ariel. From the sounds of it, she wasn't comfortable with the experience. So maybe part of it was creeps, but part of it could have been that she decided producing commercial WAM wasn't for her.

Models come and go.

Creeps don't help but I don't think they are really what drive people away. What happens more commonly is that they tire of it. The novelty wears off this thing that started off fun and they realise it's going to be a pretty arduous process to go through regularly and requires more commitment to make it pay than they anticipated.

Gosh, I remember her! Talk about a blast from the past

That said, I agree with Trouso. Default as the "creeps did it" argument often is, I'm not sure that was the case here. She initially did (pretty good) bathroom WAM on her YT channel, and posted either there or here that she'd love to progress to a shoot for a producer. Enter Ariel.

I've long since lost the clips in a hard drive crash, so this is all from memory, although I think she only actually made two for Wambabes. One was a group scene of them all playing in the mud (can't remember the exact rollcall: her and Ariel with Jayce and Jilly perhaps?), although it was clear from her body language that this girl was rather tentative and unsure as she hung about on the edges of the group rather than - metaphorically and literally - diving in. The other was a simple "Ariel gets her messy while sat on the kitchen floor" one, which included a bit of topless nudity that I'm sure she never did elsewhere. The scenes got a decent response as I recall, but all that came of them was Ariel then posting that she wasn't responding to her texts and emails about shooting more. And that was that.

For what it's worth, my sense was that she found that actual WAM shoots, instead of being her dream, were in fact a step too far. Perhaps she disliked the lack of control compared to her own YT clips, which she could always take down if she wished and of course eventually did. As I said, she really didn't look that comfortable in the mud shoot, and it seemed more than just debut nerves.

Classic wam, late 2000's anyways. YouTube still has a few: https://www.youtube.com/user/CrossWithCare/videos

I remember her well and the channel.

Obviously I guess her reasons are private - I remember she was getting a lot of the people requesting/demanding stuff from her and I know some people do find that off-putting but for others it gets to a point where doing it is expensive and if you're expected to put-on-a-show it can take away what you enjoy about it in some cases.

Perhaps, to speculate, her first steps into commercial WAM suggested this wasn't a route she wanted to go down while also not feeling inspired to share so much for free.
