   It's a common thing that's happened to me throughout my career. I mean, I'm talking in the very beginning, i remember I would go to the mall here in LA, and I would just go walking around the mall. I didn't have enough money to buy anything, but I would look in the store and people would walk up to me and say,' Are you an actress ? Are you a model ?' And they would ask me the same things and would say,' You should get into acting !' Or' You should do this, do that, and I think with OnlyFans, I heard about it multiple times to the point where I decided to look into it. After investigating more into the platform and what it offers not only users, but also content creators, Carmen Electra took the leap and created Carmen Electra own page full of lingerie shots and bikini pictures. Carmen Electra has n’t looked back since.
