I make a fortune from people's sexual fantasies – I've already made £4,000 from squishing Christmas pud between my toes

WRAPPED in red tinsel, Michelle Love carefully arranges the Christmas baubles – only they aren’t on the tree, they’re slotted between her toes.
She lays back, and positions her feet in the most flattering angle for the camera, swapping the festive decorations between shots so each snap looks different.
While some might find the unusual photo shoot completely bizarre, Michelle, 38, is onto something because she’s raked in £4k – selling photos of her feet.
And at this time of year, it’s income she uses to fund Christmas.
"I sell pictures of my feet as a way to earn extra cash. I make more than £200 a month, and that money goes toward Christmas presents for the kids and making sure we can enjoy the festive season," Michelle reveals in an exclusive interview with Fabulous.
"I'm really proud of my wacky money maker. It helps with the bills and takes a lot of the stress out of Christmas."
According to Michelle, November and December are the busiest months of the year and when fans crave her content the most.
"Before Christmas, my followers go wild for festive-themed pictures,” she says.
“They love snaps 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 snaps where she’s squelching it between her toes.
"I know some people might find it gross, but honestly, I'm not bothered. I'm proud of my fan club," she says confidently.
"I’m selling pictures which please someone else’s sexual fantasies.”
For Michelle, who has two children aged 17 and nine, the unconventional side hustle is key to helping her cover household bills as well as Christmas.
The mum, who works as an actress and social media marketer, and is married to John, 36, a sound recorder, says she has had a forty percent increase in requests since the start 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 her tootsies.
In October, pop star Lily Allen revealed she was making more money selling pictures of her feet online than by making music.
Posting X (formerly Twitter) the 'Smile' hitmaker wrote: "Imagine… being and [sic] artist and having eight million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet."
In 2022, model Katie Price made headlines when she revealed her love for sharing pictures 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 platform Fun with Feet to start selling snaps of her toes.
Globally, the demand for foot fetish photos – ranging from glam shots of pedicured nails and decorated toes to feet covered in food – is on the rise.
FeetFinder, one of the leading platforms for selling foot images, has seen explosive growth since its launch in 2019.
The platform has sold over ten million foot pics, generating an eye-watering £55 million in revenue.
My fans love my small feet, polished nails, and especially when I cover them in food or decorate them for Christmas.

With more than five million verified users and over 5,000 five-star reviews, it's clear that foot fetish photography is no passing fad.
In 2004, Michelle was living in the Philippines, specifically in the Western Visayas region, when she first started receiving compliments on her feet.
Whether she was wearing sandals, open-toed heels, or flip-flops, they drew attention.
"I loved going to Boracay Island Resort, also known as White Beach, and it was there that I regularly got stopped by people complimenting my pedicure or simply telling me what lovely feet I had," she recalls.

“At the time I was juggling several roles – working as an English language teacher, studying for her teaching degree, and working part-time as a catalogue and catwalk model.
"The compliments about my well-cared-for feet made me realise I should think outside of the box with my modelling," she says.
Michelle, who was in her early twenties at the time, started applying for work as a hand and foot model on commercial beauty and footwear shoots.
She says: "I did commercial photo shoots with only my hands or feet pictured.
Some simply appreciate nicely pedicured toes, others have a foot fetish and others have fantasies about foot covering in food or decorations.

"Some shots were to promote sandals or foot creams, and nail polish."
She moved back to the UK in 2010 and a year later, during Covid, she decided to sell pictures of her feet after seeing the success of other foot fetish models on social media.
"It looked like fun; you could do it from home and it's completely safe," she says.
Which generation is having the most sex?
A new report has lifted the lid on bedroom antics.
The research, conducted by experts at Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, 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 to multiple foot selling websites including Instafeet, and FunwithFeet.
She began 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 keep fans paying.
So far she’s sold simple snaps of her well pedicured feet in sand, photos of her toes squashing food, and Christmas decorations dangling from her toes. For Valentine’s Day she uses red hearts and ribbons as props.

She says: "I have sploshed custard onto my toes, smooshed a 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 others have fantasies about foot covering in food or decorations.
"Many fans tell me what they want me to do in the videos and photos.”
What your sexual fantasies say about you
By Emma Kenny, a TV presenter and psychologist
Raucous Role Play: If your partner enjoys dressing up for fun, it shows creativity and a desire to keep things exciting. However, it might signal that he struggles with responsibility.
Multi-Partner Fantasies: Craving variety doesn’t always mean he wants to cheat. However, it could indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment.
Power & Control: A little dominance is normal, but if it’s always about control, it may hide insecurities.
Adventure: Men seeking thrills may push boundaries, so be sure your comfort zone is respected.
Passion: If he's romantic, he's emotionally tuned in—though occasionally avoiding tough conversations.
Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but constant novelty-seeking could mean avoiding emotional connection.
Red Flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it may signal a deeper struggle with power dynamics.
Michelle’s well-heeled earnings fund 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 small feet, polished nails, and especially when I cover them in food or decorate them for Christmas," she explains.
"Upload regular pictures, engage with your fans, and be ready to chat using the platform's messaging system.
"You don't have to show your face. Personally, I'm happy doing videos and taking pictures of my feet covered in food or decorated."
Michelle's husband plays a big role in her success, often helping her with the videos.
"He thinks I'm professional," she says proudly."
