Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:45 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.

Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:53 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?
Starting point is 00:03:34 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
Starting point is 00:04:04 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.
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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
Starting point is 00:05:01 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
Starting point is 00:05:50 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
Starting point is 00:06:30 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
Starting point is 00:06:49 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
Starting point is 00:07:16 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?
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:55 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,
Starting point is 00:09:03 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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.
Starting point is 00:09:59 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
Starting point is 00:10:17 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
Starting point is 00:10:57 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
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:09 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, please do email us, browngirlsdoittoo at bbc.co.uk.
Starting point is 00:12:19 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,
Starting point is 00:12:44 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.
Starting point is 00:13:10 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?
Starting point is 00:13:27 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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?
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:04 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
Starting point is 00:15:19 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
Starting point is 00:15:50 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.
Starting point is 00:16:15 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
Starting point is 00:16:35 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
Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:32 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:15 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
Starting point is 00:18:23 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
Starting point is 00:18:30 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
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:18:44 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 you call a friend of a friend of a friend in search of a celebrity?

Everywhere I go, Turkey, Cyprus, anywhere where I can be classed, even Brazilian.
Starting point is 00:21:10 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
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:09 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
Starting point is 00:22:17 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

Starting point is 00:22:34 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
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Is that your window? Yeah. Oh, I love morning sex. Oh, I love it. Robina's sex window is weekday. Not weekday. Weekend. Weekend.
Starting point is 00:23:01 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.
Starting point is 00:23:27 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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 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!
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:29 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,
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:04 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.
Starting point is 00:25:33 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
Starting point is 00:25:50 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
Starting point is 00:26:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:08 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?
Starting point is 00:27:22 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?
Starting point is 00:27:53 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:00 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.
Starting point is 00:30:21 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
Starting point is 00:30:47 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?
Starting point is 00:31:14 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
Starting point is 00:31:30 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
Starting point is 00:32:16 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.
Starting point is 00:32:36 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
Starting point is 00:32:48 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
Starting point is 00:32:56 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
Starting point is 00:33:04 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. Thank you so much

Starting point is 00:34:40 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.
Starting point is 00:34:57 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 done

Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:44 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.

Starting point is 00:37:13 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.
Starting point is 00:37:30 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.

She was sexy.
Starting point is 00:38:30 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
Starting point is 00:38:46 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.
