I make a fortune from people’s festive sexual fantasies – I’ve already made £4,000
Covered in red tinsel, Michelle Love carefully arranges the baubles – only they are not in the tree, but between her toes.
She lies back and places her feet at the most flattering angle for the camera, switching up the festive decorations between takes so each photo looks different.

While some may find the unusual photoshoot completely bizarre, Michelle, 38, is on to something as she has raked in £4,000 by selling pictures of her feet.
And at this time of year she uses the income to fund Christmas.
“I sell pictures of my feet to make some extra money. I earn over £200 a month and that money goes towards Christmas presents for the kids and making sure we enjoy the holidays,” Michelle reveals in an exclusive interview with Fabulous.
“I’m really proud of my crazy moneymaker. It helps with the bills and takes away a lot of stress at Christmas.”
According to Michelle, November and December are the busiest months of the year, when fans are most eager for her content.
“Before Christmas, my followers love festive-themed photos,” she says.
“They love pictures of my toes decorated with baubles and covered in glitter.”
Some fans even want to see her feet covered in festive food, and they can’t get enough of the photos of her pressing it between her toes.
‘I know some people might find it gross, but to be honest it doesn’t bother me. I am proud of my fan club,” she says confidently.
“I sell photos that satisfy someone else’s sexual fantasies.”
For Michelle, who has two children aged 17 and nine, the unconventional side hustle is crucial to paying for both household bills and Christmas.
The mother, who works as an actress and social media marketer and is married to 36-year-old John, a sound recordist, says the number of applications has increased by 40 percent since the beginning of November.
I now charge £60 for a five minute video and £50 for individual photo sets.

The London-based mum isn’t the only Brit cashing in on her tootsies.
In October, pop star Lily Allen revealed that she made more money selling photos of her feet online than she did making music.
X (formerly Twitter) post the ‘Smile’ hitmaker wrote: “Imagine… his and [sic] artist and eight million monthly listeners on Spotify, but make more money because 1,000 people subscribe to photos of your feet.
In 2022, model Katie Price made headlines when she revealed her love for sharing photos of her ‘perfect’ feet online.

Around the same time, actress Margot Robbie was offered a whopping quarter of a million pounds by a top creator on the Fun with Feet platform to start selling photos of her toes.
Demand for foot fetish photos – ranging from glamor shots of pedicured nails and decorated toes to feet covered in food – is on the rise worldwide.
FeetFinder, one of the leading platforms for selling feet images, has experienced explosive growth since its launch in 2019.
The platform has sold over ten million feet pictures, generating an eye-watering £55 million in sales.
My fans love my little feet, painted nails, and especially when I cover them with food or decorate them for Christmas.

With over five million verified users and over 5,000 five-star reviews, it’s clear that foot fetish photography is not a passing fad.
In 2004, Michelle was living in the Philippines, specifically the Western Visayas region, when she first started receiving compliments about her feet.
Whether she wore sandals, open-toed heels or flip-flops, they turned heads.
“I loved going to Boracay Island Resort, also known as White Beach, and would often be stopped by people complimenting my pedicure or just telling me what beautiful feet I had,” she recalls.

“At the time I was juggling different roles: working as an English teacher, studying for her teaching diploma and working part-time as a catalog and catwalk model.
“The compliments about my well-groomed feet made me realize that I had to think outside the box when modeling,” she says.
Michelle, who was then in her early twenties, began applying to work as a hand and foot model for commercial beauty and shoe shoots.
She says: “I did commercial photo shoots where only my hands or feet were in the photo.
Some simply appreciate nicely pedicured toes, others have a foot fetish, and still others have fantasies about covering their feet with food or decorations.

“Some shots were intended to promote sandals or foot creams and nail polish.”
She moved back to Britain in 2010 and a year later, during Covid, decided to sell photos of her feet after seeing the success of other foot fetish models on social media.
“It looked nice; you could do it from home and it would be completely safe,” she says.

Which generation has the most sex?
A new report has lifted the lid on the bedroom antics.
The study, conducted by experts at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute, revealed the average number of times people of different generations have sex per month.
- Gen Z – three times a month
- Millennials – five times a month
- Gen X – five times a month
- Boomers – three times a month
Michelle did her research and signed up with multiple sales websites, including Instafeet and FunwithFeet.
She started selling four pictures of her feet for £10 and would charge more for special requests.
Now she charges £60 for a five-minute video and £50 for a set of individual photos – and Michelle is always coming up with new material to get fans to pay up.
So far, she’s sold simple photos of her well-pedicured feet in the sand, photos of her toes squishing food, and Christmas ornaments dangling from her toes. For Valentine’s Day, she uses red hearts and ribbons as props.
My fans love my little feet, painted nails, and especially when I cover them with food or decorate them for Christmas.

She says: ‘I’ve spilled custard on my toes, spread Christmas pudding and squashed Brussels sprouts with my feet.
“My husband often helps make the videos.
“Some simply appreciate nicely pedicured toes, others have a foot fetish, and still others have fantasies about covering their feet with food or decorations.
“Many fans tell me in the videos and photos what they want me to do.”
What your sexual fantasies say about you
By means of Emma Kenny, a TV presenter and psychologist
Raw roleplay: If your partner likes to dress up for fun, it shows creativity and a desire to keep things exciting. However, it may indicate that he is struggling with responsibility.
Fantasies with multiple partners: The desire for variety does not always mean that he wants to cheat. However, it can indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment.
Power and control: A little bit of dominance is normal, but if it’s always about control, it can hide insecurities.
Adventure: Men looking for excitement can push boundaries, so make sure your comfort zone is respected.
Passion: When romantic, he is emotionally attuned, although he occasionally avoids difficult conversations.
Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but the constant search for new things can mean avoiding emotional connections.
Red flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it could indicate a deeper struggle with power dynamics.
Michelle’s well-heeled income funds Christmas gifts, pedicures, foot massages and date nights with her husband.
She says the key to making money is finding a niche.
“My fans love my little feet and painted nails, especially when I cover them with food or decorate them for Christmas,” she explains.
“Upload photos regularly, engage with your fans and be prepared to chat via the platform’s messaging system.
‘You don’t have to show your face. Personally, I’m happy making videos and taking pictures of my feet covered in food or decorated.”
Michelle’s husband plays a big role in her success and often helps her with the videos.
“He thinks I’m professional,” she says proudly.”
