Hi, I'm Robina and not easily offended, give it a go. Brown girls do it too. Yeah. From the BBC Asian Network.
Hi, I'm Robina.
And the one thing I would save in a fire is my teenage diary.
It's insane what I wrote in there.
I'm embarrassed about younger me.
She was sad, lonely, full of angst, and disturbingly horny.
Can you give me a little top line?
What, like, just, like, 140 140 characters just like a little extract dear diary
i hate everyone why doesn't he love me that sounds like every that sounds like every diary of a
teenager in the land isn't it yeah and i'm poppy and the one thing i'd save in a fire is the oldest
thing i own which is an oxford dictionary gifted to me by my old primary school and signed by my friends at the time.
That dictionary is seriously a relic. It's older than Instagram influences.
I'm in double digits. I won't say what.
And this is season two of our naughty little podcast, Brown Girls Do It Too, available on BBC Sounds.
Look, I won't lie. We aren't the kind of gals you take home to your mother.
Although trust me when I say we could turn on the charm if we wanted to.
But very soon your ma would realise that we have very potty mouths
and we swear like sailors, especially me.
If this makes you feel very uncomfortable,
then by all means keep scrolling down, keep swiping right,
because there are loads of other podcasts on the BBC Sounds app
that you can download.
And instead of wasting your energy with chat like,
what a couple of best rooms, don't they have any shame?
Or, my licence fee is going to this.
Just think, your son is probably watching porn right now
and maxing out the bandwidth as you pass judgement.
Hashtag just saying.
We get a lot of haters on this podcast.
And all we have for you guys out there calling us slags is pure,
unadulterated passion. It actually turns us on that you hate us. I think I did it right there.
I was quite proud of that little laugh. It was really good.
So in today's episode, we are talking about the unique relationship we have with the Asian men
in our lives. More specifically, our dads. Winners of
the patriarchy, these men have totally informed the way we think about ourselves, women and sex.
I mean, where do you think the phrase daddy issues comes from? From strict overbearing parentals,
the way pornography sexualizes the relationship between stepdaughter and stepdaddy, to the fact
that daddy is now synonymous with being dominated. there is a lot of ground to cover here.
And later on, we'll be talking to the uber-sexy and business-savvy Alexa Singh.
She's a page three glamour model and an influencer.
A mixed-race Indian heritage Scottish-born lass,
she says she feels most comfortable when she's naked.
And we'll be talking to her about the daddy in her life.

So Rubina, the million dollar, the million rupee,
the million taka question.
Have you ever used the phrase daddy in the bedroom?
I'd like to phone a friend.
Who are you calling?
Daddy?
I'm just going to call my daddy.
I actually haven't.
I have not used the phrase, no.
But I can see the appeal.
I'm not anti it. I just you know met somebody who's into that i i can see the appeal uh but i
would just it would never cross my mind to ever say the d word in the bedroom at any point like
to say daddy i i often find it's like do you know that scene in the angelina jolie and brad pitt
and she like beats the shit out of someone and she's like who's your daddy now find it's like, do you know that scene in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?
And she like beats the shit out of someone and she's like, who's your daddy now?
And it's really hot when she says it.
Do you remember that scene I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just remember, I mean, I wasn't really that young when I watched that film, but I'm like, why daddy?
Why daddy?
And I'd never really quite understood that relationship. But every time I say daddy, I just think of my dad.
And then I'm like, hmm.
But the thing is, growing up, I didn't call my dad but it's up by it's the same shit isn't it like
daddy daddy above it's like your dad it's like your dad now we're just going down semantics but
I'm like I don't want to call you daddy because then I'm just thinking about my daddy while I'm
having sex with you yeah yeah no I see that but daddy like daddy's got so many weird things like
firstly I think of posh people who are like,
daddy, darling, daddy.
That's what I think of.
And so for me, I could totally imagine like
re-envisaging a different like role in the bedroom.
Cause it's like, I'm the posh girl.
He's got a posh horse.
I was thinking of a horse right now.
I was like, I wonder what my horse would be called.
Tarquin horse.
I'm riding Tarquin and I fall over
and then I call daddy and I'm like, daddy.
Oh my God. tarquin and i fall over and then i call daddy and i'm like daddy oh my god it's good to have a posh bash isn't it sometimes respectable respectable class war um so i think like i think the whole daddy thing is really
interesting because we all kind of have this idea and it's like you know your relationship
with your dad is supposed to inform relationships that you have with men in the future um and there's all these kind of like ideas about
like attachment theory and stuff but i just similar to you do not think of my father in that sexual
way in any way and have never been able to even think about him doing with my mom really i mean
the whole that of course you're totally right like daddy has so many other connotations
right it's symbolic of so much more than just your dad but to take the dad to take that whole
phrase daddy who's your daddy now into the bedroom I'm like I've already got a very complicated
relationship with my father thank you I don't want to fuck this up even further so I am fine
also for me the whole concept of daddy is like daddy's there to take care of you to save you
to like pay for you it's like yeah i just um yeah no i can't and i think asian asian women are
normally from patriarchal families which is something we obviously talk about a lot but i
think that does affect the way that you see women because of these kind of structures where you sit
under i'll sit under men and and i I know that my dad and men in my family
treated the men of my generation completely different
to how I've been treated, completely.
There was different standards, different rules.
I had it much harder.
I had much stricter rules imposed on me
and also bigger judgments, I think, imposed on me
when I strayed away from the kind of path.
100%.
This entire series one and two of Bound Girls Do It Too are anecdotes of me not being able
to eat chicken and chips freely in Stepney Green, short jacket gay, just like constantly
under the gaze.
And also we talk about like really toxic anti-culture in like the Desi, in the Asian community,
right?
Which is totally true.
But I often say like the women maintain it and the men are the
gatekeepers they're the ones that think this shit up they're the ones that create these rules the
women are just like stormtroopers i think one of the really interesting things about like daddy
issues is it's all about this idea that you're interested in older men or you think older men
can like save you um do you think you have any kind of fantasy about an older
man in your life no no i don't i was thinking about this actually i oh god if you look at like
the types of men i fancy it's very broad and mind-ranging it can go from 23 year olds to my
my age ceiling is about 55 um and and and they always fulfill a fantasy or a stereotype, like not to be a basic bitch,
but like the plumber, the CEO, the coffee barista.
You know what I mean?
What's the biggest age gap that you shagged?
Like who's the, like when, at what age
and what kind of was the biggest gap?
12 years.
But I would, yeah, I would argue it's when I was 26.
That is not a bigger difference as say when you're 20
and then you're shagging a 32-year-old.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The maturity levels are very, very different.
By the time you hit your late 20s, then you're kind of, I don't know,
maybe you're in a similar kind of boat,
but I think it kind of depends on your maturity.
What about you?
I mean, I didn't have sex with him, but when I was like 24,
I snogged someone who was 46
and I was like, you are so much older than me.
Like you are 22 years older than me.
And I was only 24.
I was 24.
So I was like, you're almost my whole lifetime older than me.
I just realized, I think I was an accidental sugar baby.
So I used to work in Harrods
and this baller with a comb over,
literally disgusting. This baller guy with a comb over, literally disgusting.
This baller guy
with a comb over,
like absolute millionaire,
would take me out for dinner
and he clearly wanted sex
and I sort of denied it,
denied it,
denied it
and then he'd take me
out to dinner
to like baller like places
in Mayfair
and then one time
he touched my face
and I was like,
yeah, this is,
I need to get out of this.
He wants to have sex.
I can't have sex with this guy. He's like, and he was definitely,
I want to say he was in his sixties. That's a big gap. I mean, I did have sex with this guy,
but I look back now and I'm like, was it no strings attached? Would it have been complicated?
Would it have been difficult? Because I actually liked him. I didn't fancy him. I sort of respected
him almost. My problem is I'm such a narcissist narcissist i genuinely think that if this guy was hot uh or
attractive or had chat i probably would have banged him but because he had a comb over that
sounds awful i just i could i could not do it so it wasn't even the age thing it was nothing to do
with age actually it was just um he looked awful and he had a comb over uh so before we move on i
just want to ask you something i just want to run something past you do you think that we should um
do you think that we should try daddy in the bedroom?
I don't know.
Well, I mean, I could potentially use it because my partner is eight years older than me.
He could potentially be a daddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about you?
What's your age difference?
Oh, a year.
Oh, right.
Like, yeah.
I just, I don't know how it would go down like
who's your dad now like i don't know at what point at what position i love that your idea
of using daddy in the bedroom is not you're using it on them you're you're saying that you're the
daddy that's just the best who's your daddy now oh i'm always the daddy i'm the fuck oh i see what
you're saying you're like they should be
saying it to me oh no I'm saying it to them wow okay fine um how um okay if if my partner suddenly
came out with who's your daddy and I was riding him I would find that hugely problematic just
leave the relatives behind I already married one you know what I mean like whenever my whenever my
partner wants to bring me back down to earth he's like you had sex with your first cousin and i'm
like oh my god that's literally disgusting and it's like it shuts me up immediately but i think
asians like because we have such close ties within our families and they're such integral parts of
our lives and i think a lot of us have really complicated relationships with all of our family
members so you know announcing your father's name in the bedroom is like it's just gonna be the hardest thing of all the cousins and asian friends i have
most of them have daddy issues bar a few and because of that no one i mean it's something
that might not admit to me anyway but none of them necessarily are that way inclined to take
daddy into the bedroom do you know what i mean it's like we all have such complicated relationships
with our fathers anyway why then start in the bedroom it's just an odd it's just an odd place
to start really like my dad's like in his 70s but i've never had a good relationship with him it's
always been really quite tense and quite difficult and a lot of the things and the decisions i've
made in my life are probably to rebel against some of his patriarchal ways um and I think he knows it now so he's like
I'm not going to say anything more because I can't push her over the edge anymore um and I think like
I have really complicated relationship with my dad and I like the idea of that psychologically
affecting my relationship now really it's like it's like I'm about to come I start saying you
start saying who's your daddy no one's fucking coming I'm not I'm crying you come. I start saying, you start saying, who's your daddy? No one's fucking coming.
I'm not.
I'm crying.
I'm crying.
You've taken me back to like circa 1999.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just this bad memory.
So I would love to,
and if anyone's listening,

If you have
a complicated relationship
with your father,
but yet are okay with being,
you know, having the daddy chat in the bedroom, then that's quite an interesting paradox, isn't
it? I think it's, it's got to be disassociative from your actual father, right? No one who's
actually saying like, oh, daddy in the bedroom is thinking, oh, of my, my dad. No one's actually
thinking that. People are trying to like fantasize about some other idea of what a dad should be,
of this kind of idealized daddy. You know, the daddy who does take care of you the daddy who lets you do what
you want the daddy who gets you everything like the kind of sex version of daddy is way better
than my dad and in pornography obviously it's used as a kind of um forbidden fruit thing right
all the videos are like step dada seeing my step dada in a different way i don't know why i'm doing
that accent i don't know where this porn act is from but like seeing my step daughter in a different way. I don't know why I'm doing that accent. I don't know where this porn actress is from.
But like seeing your stepdaughter in a different light
and thinking that, you know, that you want to do that.
Like, that is a thing.
It's like older men dominating younger women is our life.
It's like...
And it's what we do as a society.
We totally infantilize young girls and like teenage girls.
The whole stepdaughter thing is like,
daddy's taking care of you.
Daddy's going to buy you a car.
Do you like this?
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm not up for that life.
Yeah.
And, you know, I know all families are complicated
and everyone probably feels like they have some kind of other complications
that, you know, are hard to talk about and are quite stressful sometimes.
But my experience of living in the UK,
I always felt like I knew loads of white friends
who had very perfect families.
And I'm talking like picture perfect, white picket fence perfect.
I'd be like, sorry, your dad just like said congratulations, called you a star because of
your A-level results. And I just, I'm sorry, he just hugged you and held you. It's like,
I just would never get that kind of treatment, nothing. And I'd often like look at people's
dads and get jealous. And if I ever see, even even now even if I see a dad walking down the street with his daughter clearly and they're like having
banter or they're like oh dad I'm like oh that's exactly how I feel like me and my sisters we get
like a kind of an emotional like our eyes start welling up and it's like and it sounds awful like
it's not it's not jealousy but I suppose it's envious of something that we never had. I remember one of my youngest sister said to me,
I was at my mate's house
and she was around the dinner table with her family
and they were talking.
And I was like, and she was like,
why are you doing that?
She sounds a bit like this.
Why are you talking to your mum?
And she was just like,
could not believe that they were having a normal conversation
around a dinner table.
Like, we don't even eat as a family.
That's how dysfunctional we are. And and and i i feel my my uh sister uh has an italian boyfriend and you know
what those italians are like and she you know she has moments every now and then and she knew she
calls me she's like oh my god they love each other they just will do anything for each other
and then it's like why are we so fucked and it's i have the same i have the same my god yeah i can
tell you so many stories.
One specific one that I, that still can bring me to tears
is when I was working at a cinema
and I was like in the front of house at the bottom
and I was having a crap day.
You know, it's like sometimes you meet crappy customers
and this woman from like the top floor
who worked in like, you know, admin or whatever
and had like a proper nine to five.
She came down and her dad had come to meet her for lunch.
Right?
And he walked in, she came down and her dad had come to meet her for lunch right and he walked in she came down the stairs and they both did that kind of running towards each other with open arms
and he just went my darling and threw his arms around her and i literally burst into tears
that has never and will never happen to me with my father and part of me grieves that and is like
wow that is so depressing you often hear
about like like non-asian dads having a problematic relationship with their son it's often what you
see in like an eastenders storyline or a correlation street storyline but i i think the relationship
between an asian father and an asian daughter is is something i don't know if even bollywood
tackles it really in the way that it should be tackled, but it's a whole other thing, I think.
Fraught with complications.
It's so true.
It's so true.
And like, I don't know, I wonder, I do wonder how much of that informs our future partners
and what we look for, because I don't want that.
I want somebody who doesn't want to take care of me all the time and maybe lets me be free
and lets me be independent, lets me make my own money and like eats at the table with
me, which I think is not hard to ask for.
I know.
Well, I could,
so is your partner anything like your dad?
Oh, I think I see some similarities
and I also see some similarities
between myself and my dad as well.
And I think sometimes that freaks me out
and I'm like,
well, mostly sometimes I look in the mirror
and I'm like, that looks like my dad.
So, you know know you seek out relationships
that mirror your parents um yeah yeah i don't do that at all like i want the opposite of my father
yeah completely same i want something completely different but then sometimes you'll see things and
you're like oh that's quite similar to actually a dynamic i had i had at home um so you try you
try and hold on to the healthy stuff, the stuff that you liked.
And then there's a lot that you're like, okay, cool. I don't want that. I don't want that.
You get to kind of selectively choose. But I think that's also the thing about being British Asian
is you can selectively choose the bits of your British Asian-ness that you're like,
this is really working for me. You know, I'm really loving being brown. My skin's quite good.
I mean, it's taken me a while to age. There's some good stuff. I've food i'm gonna take that i'm gonna take that and then there's like women get treated like shit
yeah i'm not really i'm not into that one yeah i'm not gonna stay behind so i mean across the series
of this wonderful series as we we're coming to an end pretty soon we've actually listed so many
different tasks um so poppy what are your tasks that you have to do i have to send a nude and i
have to watch hardcore porn oh yeah which we should do together i think because i'd like to see your face fine um and then my tasks
are much harder than yours okay i have now purchased a my very first sex toy which is
arriving in uh two three business working days i think and the other thing i'm doing is much harder
which is that I have to swallow
cum
I'd rather swallow cum
I'd rather swallow cum
than watch hardcore porn
I want everyone to know
that the BBC
is making me swallow cum
that's where
that's where your
license fee is going
Romina's gonna be
swallowing cum
for money
you know what it is
it's like
what is
what is the close
it's like
you know those mochi you know like when you have a mochi I kind of like mochi yeah you know it's like you know those mochi
you know like
when you have a mochi
I kind of like mochi
yeah you know
it's Japanese
yeah mochi
yeah sorry mochi
the Japanese
it's like that
it's like that
it's like a little bite of that
but you don't even bite
and it's just swallowing
you're like
it's like nothing
well we'll see how I go
I think you should have
one more added to your list
and because we've actually
described how problematic
our relationships are
with our fathers
I think we need to
let go of that and in the bedroom just just say daddy as if it's like a
fun sexy kinky thing i can't oh god i've already done incest i've ticked that box fine okay so my
partner's saying who's your daddy or am i saying it what's the task oh he's saying who's your daddy
and you're saying you are baby oh my god this is so bad we've been talking
about our daddy issues and how asian men in our families have had an easier ride next we'll be
talking to alexa singh she's a glamour model a page three model and an influencer and you're
not gonna believe what her daddy did for a living she's up straight after this what happens when

husky so. Where are you in Mexico? I'm in Tulum and it is absolutely fantastic. Yeah amazing. Do
you feel like because you're mixed race right, do you want to talk to us a bit about your heritage yeah so basically my dad is from Birmingham um and he is obviously Indian my gran is from India
and my mum's really Scottish do you get does anyone in Mexico think that you're Mexican because
that's what happened to me a lot when I was out there yeah basically everyone thinks I'm Latina
nobody nobody can ever guess I'm Indian ever ever, ever. Everywhere I go, Turkey, Cyprus,
anywhere where I can be classed, even Brazilian.
I get Armenian all the time.
Interesting.
But nobody ever hits the nail on the head with Indian,
which I kind of get offended about.
Because I'm like, I think I do look Indian.
I'm like, I am Indian.
So we've, on our podcast so far,
we have been talking about our kind of interesting relationships
with our fathers and also we've been talking about the phrase daddy and using it in the bedroom and
call me daddy and where that comes from i can't i can't i can't i said the same thing i can't
i really can't that chat is not acceptable It needs to be in the bin ASAP.
So if someone in the middle of any kind of sex position
was like, who's your daddy now?
I would get up, put my pants on and walk out.
Just want to gauge where you are with the daddy chat.
I'd be like, see you, I'm off.
No, not about that.
Never talk to me again.
Do not even look at me again.
It's a bit like like is it similar to like
when you know
when you have sex
and then someone says
choke me
and then you're like
do you know what
I don't actually mind that
I like quite a bit of rough
I quite like a bit of
like rough and tough
I quite like a bit of choking too
yeah
unless daddy chat
it's just no
it's fucking awful
daddy chat
mommy chat
any kind of incest chat
I'm also like
yeah I mean because as Asians we do incest chat I'm also like yeah I mean
because as Asians
we do incest
so I'm just like
we do
no
no way man
oh
like rough and
rough and tough is fine
that is
that is totally acceptable
yeah
daddy no
no no no no
what's your like
what's your limitation
like do you have safe words
and stuff in sex
or do you just kind of
no I just kind of like, I just kind of like...
Yeah, I just kind of like a bit of rough and tough.
I love a bit of morning sex, to be honest.
I think morning sex is the one.
Morning sex.
Is that your window?
Yeah.
Oh, I love morning sex.
Oh, I love it.
Robina's sex window is weekday.
Not weekday.
Weekend.
Weekend.
Saturday, Sunday.
Weekend.
Although, to be honest, now since I've been working from home,
you can kind of get them in whenever you want really you know what's really funny I had sex
and then a beach club toilets yesterday oh nice this is so good because one of our one of our
games that we will play with you later is going to be really emphasizing this yeah um so we talk
we talk in this episode we talk about our. Your dad had quite an interesting profession.
I was wondering if you could share that a little bit.
Yeah.
So everyone listening, my dad, we used to be a stripper,
which I think is absolutely jokes.
Mic drop.
We're done.
Our work here is done.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, let's just be done with this podcast.
I love it.
Do you know what's so funny?
When me and my brother were younger,
my dad used to have like a silver Honda Civic
and he used to have like sweet cheeks
and like pink right end with like kisses all over the car.
Obviously advertising and stripping services.
Sweet cheeks!
He used to always be like, what's going on here?
Like, why has my dad got this? And what age did you get to the point where you
understood what sweet cheeks was what age did you understand what was happening and it was probably
like when we were like 10 that we were kind of clocking on that something was like something
was just a bit different and then when we got to high school secondary school people were like, oh yeah, your dad done my mom's hen do.
People were like, great.
Oh my God.
That's amazing.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
My dad loved it.
So hang on, how did you feel?
Were you like wicked, dad's cool?
When we were younger,
me and Brandon just kind of tossed it to the side.
And then in high school,
we had it a little bit like the mortifying stage,
like fuck, my dad used to be a strap on. And then I love it, we had a little bit like the mortifying stage, like, fuck, I'm going to have to use the beer straw.
And then I love it.
Now I think of jokes.
Because I don't know about you guys, but, like, see when I'm out
and, like, people say, like, oh, you're Indian.
People just assume that, like, my mum and dad wear turbans
and saris and bindis and we cook curry seven days a week
and I'm really religious.
And I'm like yous have got
the scope so wrong I mean don't get me wrong I cook a banging curry guys trust trust me I cook
a banging curry but yeah I'm on the proper other side of the spectrum my dad's a stripper like all
that all that shit so yeah but how did your how did your dad get into it? And what was his parents' reaction?
I don't actually know.
My dad doesn't speak to his mum.
But Bibby brought my dad up.
So my dad was really, really close with Bibby.
His gran, his nan, Bibby.
Oh, okay.
So my dad was brought up with like 10.
I've got 10 aunties and uncles.
Big family and brought me.
Very, very Asian, very Indian.
There's a lot of us, guys.
Do you think that your dad's choice to be a stripper
has influenced the way that you are with your body?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, because my mum is the reason why I done glamour.
My mum's probably part of the reason why my dad done stripping
because my mum fully supported my dad when he done it.
But I just think it's jokes. Indian guy stripper like you just don't expect it and what about you how did you get into kind of glamour modeling you said that your mom
encouraged you but kind of you know what inspired you to do it yeah basically I I had I was with a
I was in a long-term relationship from when I was like 14 till I was 18 he cheated on me and I used to have
my boobs have actually like really shrunk I don't know where they've they've just left me they've
gone but I had I had the smallest waist and the biggest boobs and the proper sack good nipples
and my mum was like to me like you should do you should do glamour is it still a thing like you
should do a paid treat she took the topless photos of me and we sent them off to a London agency and I got signed within 11 minutes
within 11 minutes oh my god that's amazing yeah my old email my old agent emailed me are these real
are these real breasts I was like yeah and then she was like great organize a test shoot which
is basically like you go and shoot with your photographers.
Done that the week later.
My dad drove me down all the way to London.
Imagine.
And done a test shoot.
And yeah, I got signed.
And then here we are.
Did you have any, how did you feel getting your baps out initially
in that room with the photographer?
Or were you just like, whatever, it's just boobs?
It's just, it never bothered me.
I think I've always been really confident in my body because boobs are
boobs like I just don't get the big who have a thumb when we told my family um don't get me
wrong I'm probably getting judged so much do you know what I mean my dad was like just chop chop
chop yeah um and it's just never my mom and dad have never made it an issue. Me and my brother can't go to mum and dad about anything.
They're heroes.
That's so nice.
Can I ask, can I ask you a question about how you discovered sex?
And like, what was your sex education growing up?
Whether that's in like high school in Scotland or whether that was through friends?
Can you tell us a little bit about how you understood?
No, yeah.
I mean, in primary primary school they go through it
quite early on because you get the period talk then you get the guy talk and then yeah I actually
did lose my virginity quite young I was I've always been really mature for my age um I don't
know why so I feel like yeah I lost my virginity really young and I regret losing it so young to
be honest um but yeah I was quite sexually
active from a young age and then I was in a relationship until I was 18 so yeah that was
that was kind of that um not any mad love story to be honest I lost it in a guy's bedroom drinking
a two litre of cider that feels like a pretty classic teenage experience for a lot of people so do you know
what it's like a it's a Scottish experience I think can we talk about your um Instagram kind
of influencer persona and like kind of you're you're incredibly sexy and anyone who sees you
can see that and talk to us about like the self-confidence it takes to do that and and
whether you you kind of play off that kind of sexual sexual image I mean it's funny
because when I first started doing glamour my Instagram used to be so raunchy guys I used to
have like topless photos with like the cover like the censored nipples all that stuff I don't really
post any of that anymore because I'm trying to go more um more commercial but I've just never
bothered about posting sexy content I think it's so empowering
and you know what's hilarious I actually do get a lot of brown girls messaging me like babe you're
such an inspiration love how you do it and keep doing it but I get so much shit from from Asian
guys my DMs are flooded with you your pussy stinks uh you you are a disgrace,
take the sing name out of your name.
Do you even know what that means,
you fucking slut?
I get hate, trust me.
Shit.
I ignore it.
It doesn't bother me.
I'm like, you're such an angry little man.
Go and wank off.
Go and do something.
Go and enjoy yourself. Go and enjoy yourself.
Go and have a bit of, I don't know, they piss me off.
Sometimes I bite to it.
If I wake up in a bad mood, I bite to it.
Other times, I just ignore it.
How important is it for you to hold on to your surname Singh?
I imagine that's your real name and your public name.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what?
Yeah.
My Instagram wasn't Alexa Singh and
I changed it because I came at the start of the year and I was like I want to start being I used
to always get comments on Instagram what are you what's your race I still do I get so many comments
are you Indian I'm like what else where the fuck is single to come from are you stupid
use your brain like of course I'm Indian yeah um and I'm just like no I think it's I think it's
important you don't see any single girls doing doing glamour doing doing anything so if I can
pave the way I'll pave the way yeah and you're representing brown girls in that space it's kind
of amazing that you're doing that and like empowering other brown women to feel sexy and
I think it's important. Absolutely.
Can you tell us a little,
what's been your favorite experience?
Or like, can you tell us a crazy story from your glamour model world?
Do you know what?
I've actually had a-
I just need to live a little bit.
I'm living through you
because I'm so bored of lockdown.
I've had a really, really good experience.
I've always been really, really strict on my levels.
So I've never done like full nude, any of that. I've always been just really strict on my levels um so I've never done like full nude
any of that I've always been just strictly like strictly glamour because if you you if you think
about it guys you've got glamour and you've got porn what is sorry just to clarify what is glamour
what is is it just booze is topless modeling that is yeah and if you do any kind of like vagina
anything like that that goes in at the scope of porn okay or for me it does anyway
yeah um that's where your boundary is yeah and glamour's fizzled out now the glamour industry's
gone which is why only fans is so booming because if you think about it lag mags and stuff have
stopped yeah only fans is just a version of lag mags glamour models yeah and I always say to people I would
never have only fans if I wasn't a published glamour model I wouldn't work in Sainsbury's
or be a beautician I'm not saying there's anything wrong with people that do it but I would personally
never be a beautician and then all of a sudden be like oh do you know what I'm going to start
taking my cat up in my bedroom and make money from it. Which there's nothing,
that's what I'm saying,
there's nothing wrong with it.
But I was so published
that once the glad mags and stuff stopped,
we had no option but to move our platforms
and try and make our money elsewhere.
And do you know what?
It's actually worked out so much more
because we're in control of our own content.
Yeah.
We're in control of our own bodies.
And some of the photographers are just awful anyway
but it just
has given us control
to make our own money
and do our own content
and make money from it
yeah it's amazing
have you ever been asked
to do porn?
have you been
of course
oh yeah yeah yeah
I've been asked to do porn
I've been on shoots
and I've been like
can we do Phil Neid
I'm like no
no no no no no
definitely not
you get people
that always try their luck you get that in every industry but yeah I've always just, can we do a film need? I'm like, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Definitely not. You get people that always try their luck.
You get that in every industry.
But yeah,
I've always just been
really shocked with it.
Always.

to have you on our show.
It's been brilliant.

for this game,
so we kind of wing it
every time.
Every fucking time. I love it. Every it every time every fucking time i love it every time um so basically it's a multiple choice game where you get two words and you have to choose the one that you want um we we call it the quick fire fuck game
um hopefully you'll like that but you might have a better title for it as we go along you might have
a better title for it i think that's banging i think that's banging excuse the pun excuse the pun it's banging cool okay so are you up for playing it

So throughout this series too, just very quickly,
we've set ourselves tasks that we need to do.
Okay.
And Rubina has never swallowed cum before.
Have you not?
I'm a spitter.
So she needs to swallow cum before next week, basically.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not going to say it's the best experience in the world.
But when you get into it, it's quite naughty.
I quite like it.
Yeah, it's naughty. You're naughty I quite like it yeah it's naughty
you're literally just swallowing
it's like a shot

Just think of a margarita.
Porn or no porn?
Do you know what?
I don't actually watch porn.
I'm actually going to be really honest.
Probably no porn.
I actually don't watch porn.
Yeah, I actually don't.
I think it's because I am so sexually active.
I have sex about eight times a day.
Oh, wow.
That's amazing.
Eight times a day? Eight times a day. Every day. Not every day, but yeah. I have sex about eight times a day. Oh, wow. That's amazing. Eight times a day.
Eight times a day, every day. Not every day, but yeah, I have a lot of sex. I'm very sexually
active. I love that. I would love to have sex eight times a day. Eight times. I would love to
know what I was doing at 22. We definitely wasn't having sex eight times a day when I was 22. I had
sex in the morning yesterday, during the day and the toilet. Wow. got back wow gals got needs gals got needs gals got needs

Don't like the foot fetish.
Stay away from me.

Men are selfish.
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
And the last one.
I think I already know the answer to this one,
but quickie in the beach club toilet or quickie in a park?
Oh, beach club toilet.
All day, every day and twice on a Sunday.
Do you ever play that game with people, like a chalet fuck or a toilet fuck?
No, but I actually might need to.
I might need to get into this game.
Yeah, chalet is like, you know, red wine, a white rug,
fire,
like you talk about politics.
You might not even have sex.
Toilet fuck is a toilet bang.
You know what I mean? Oh,
I like a toilet bang.
Toilet bang.
Just quick and dirty.
Yeah,
I'm all about,
I'm all about the toilet bangs.
Give it to me.
And that's the
quick fire fuck game.
Guys,
that was really fun.
Yay.
That was really fun.
I really enjoyed that thanks so
much alexa thank you so much for coming on to the show and sharing the stories i will definitely be
trying to google your dad later and finding out about his stripping past so thank you i'll make
we'll make a group chat and i'll send a photo of him for you please do that'd be so nice and yeah
when you're back in the uk and everything's safe and normal we would love to meet you in person as well that'd be really nice of course of course of course of course we have
easel cool thank you so much for having me i've had a great time bye bye bye guys oh that was so
fun bye see ya brown girls do it too that was alexa sing wasn't she absolutely amazing and so
sexy i always feel a bit conscious when I say sexy,
but I'm sure she would love for me to say that, right?
She was sexy.
Oh, she was sexy and amazing, amazing boobs
that she capitalises on.
So good for her.
Yeah, good for her.
Really impressed by her breasts.
And I think what we've learnt in this episode
is that if your dad's a stripper,
then chances are you are
going to be more comfortable with your own body i mean that's the kind of logic isn't it and you
also have access to more thongs than you'll ever need with a great um i wanted to say pussy wagon
but what's the equivalent her dad's car dick wagon no we'll move on like a chai rickshaw where do you go with these i don't know where that came from sorry um the other thing that i
thought i really got out of that chat was understanding that the glamour industry
in the uk has kind of moved over to only fans and it was just amazing to meet alexa who's 22
a brown girl who was just smashing it and owning her own content and making
the money from that. So yeah, really impressed by her. And I guess we can conclude from this episode
that actually, I think everyone maybe has some daddy issues. Everyone has daddy issues. Everyone.
