Interview with Odette Delacroix – Glamour, Erotic and Fetish Model

Odette Delacroix is a 5 foot blond model from Los Angeles, California. She looks cute and innocent but don’t be fooled, there is a lot more to this girl than you might suspect at first glance. That is, until you check our her erotic modeling portfolio.

Do you have a nickname or artist pseudonym? Who came up with it and how?

Odette Delacroix is my stage name. I come from two large French families and I always wanted an old-style, romantic French name as my stage name. Eugene Delacroix was always one of my favorite artists, too.

When and how did you first get involved in the modeling industry?

I started in 2008 as an artist’s model. I wanted art studio time, but as a college student, I couldn’t afford to rent a studio space. So, I traded time as a nude artist model for time in the studio to paint! Then, as I grew more comfortable in front of the camera, I began to shoot more and more as an artistic outlet and as a secondary source of income while I was studying English at college.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five years?

I have been working very hard over the past two years to expand my custom video business, sexycustomvideos.com and to amass enough content to finally launch my BBW (big beautiful women) female domination website, PetiteVsPLUMP.com! Working with plus-size models has become a passion of mine. I don’t think models have to be any specific height and weight. I’m barely five feet tall and without many curves, yet I have had a fantastic career so far. I want to support all other under-represented body types in my production work, too.

Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.

Photographers who have gotten too comfortable with their job or hobby of shooting models are the bane of my existence. Some pathetic individuals think that giving a woman a few dollars also entitles them to treat them like a piece of meat. Seriously, fellers, I’m embarrassed for you! Luckily, I don’t come across such lost souls too often. The best experiences I have had with modeling, so far, have been the amazing travel opportunities. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and modeling has opened doors to so many amazing places!

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

My most successful photo and video serious to date involves me wearing adult diapers. I didn’t see that one coming!

Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?

A lot! I think that it’s such a shame there is not a union for models and adult performers. For instance, in the porn world (which I see as a very important branch of modeling), STD tests cost all performers $175 every two weeks now, and there’s really no way around it because the testing centers that are industry-approved have an utter monopoly here in Los Angeles! If performers had more leverage, this would be a great issue to tackle. I also think that fashion models should be over 16 years of age–not that I was ever a fashion model. I did do a kids clothing show a few times at a mall, though, hah!

Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat?

I try to walk for an hour every day in the morning. I also enjoy swimming and bowling! I typically eat raw food, even meat, yes, meat! I love tartar, sushi, etc. and I also love fruit. However, I usually have one nice meal out with plenty of red wine every week. Eating healthful food is great, but I will never let it get in the way of my dining social life and the occasional vino.

Please tell us something most people don’t know about you.

I don’t use pillows when I sleep and I am a certified adult education instructor in two states.

How and why did you become a certified adult education instructor?

When I lived in Maine, I wanted to find a way to invest some time and energy into bettering my community. My family and my friends were active in volunteering in various ways, but I wanted to try something different from going to a soup kitchen or helping out at a shelter. Since I was planning on studying English as my major in college, literacy was always important to me and I began to learn through some program research that Maine had an alarming number of illiterate adults. I went through some training and began to help some students until I moved to California.

How much do you typically charge for a photo- or video-shoot?

My rate starts at $100 an hour. For hardcore lesbian videos, I charge anywhere from $500 to $800 a scene depending on who it’s for, how demanding the scene is, etc. Rates can be tricky, but I try to charge what I believe to be the “going” rate for this and for that.

Would you change anything about yourself (physical or otherwise)?

I have been trying to reduce some stress in my life by getting more massages, having more sex, and not sweating the small stuff.
