A few weeks ago, Riverdale fans got a taste of Betty Cooper’s “dark side” when she took off her signature wig and indulged in some good old-fashioned webcam sex for a lucky guy. It was an exciting turn in a show that’s already made the most of its young woman’s raunchy potential, and it threw a whole new light on cam girl culture.
In our capitalistic society, female beauty carries an inherent value. Cam sites profit by exploiting that value with an addictive product — much like casinos, which make the majority of their profits from a small minority of users who are addicted to microtransactions.
Mazzei, who now lives in Vancouver with her husband and kids, wants to create art where consumers empathize with sex workers – first with her memoir, then the film she wrote based on her experiences, Cam. Vulture caught up with her on a blustery Vancouver day to talk camming, chic wigs, and why she has zero interest in any Riverdale High love triangles.
