Too chubby or just right?
In our capitalistic society, female beauty has always carried inherent value. But now, thanks to technology, that value can be monetised. Camgirl, Isa Mazzei’s frank memoir about her year and a half as a paid webcam porn model, shows us what happens when that commodity becomes conflated with identity.
It takes a bit of getting used to – reading about taboo topics ensconced within breezy honesty, self-awareness and whip-smart humor. But as we get more accustomed, we learn that Mazzei is an engaging writer whose book is more than just a memoir about online sex: it’s also an examination of our culture’s fetishism and addiction to monetized intimacy.
