OnlyFans, but Make It Memoir: Behind Every Photo, A Story — Unlock the Story on Substack

Dear Shaded Viewers,

After 30 years flirting with the idea of my autobiography—parking it on the back burner, handing it off to ghostwriters (never quite me)—I’ve finally found the way my story deserves to be told. No boring timelines. No predictable chapters. Instead: Every week, I take a random image and unlock the cinematic story behind it.

From New York to Paris and all the wild detours in-between, my life’s memoir won’t be chronological. It’ll be serendipitous, the way memories actually move.

Think of it as OnlyFans…but without the porn. Just a different kind of bare: soul-baring, not body-baring. Every Tuesday, a brand new entry. When you become a paid subscriber, you get the golden key—not just to this week’s post, but to the full, private archive, including favorite stories I first teased on IG (and some that never made it to social media).

Ever wondered what’s really behind these dark glasses—or what’s revealed when I lift the veil, one layer at a time? The rumors, the realness, the unvarnished moments hidden in each photo?

Step a little closer—if you like. As a Backstage Pass member, you’re invited not just to subscribe, but to quietly join me as I finally share my story, in my own quiet, unconventional way.

See you Tuesday.
