I love the reactions. People genuinely think my butt is naturally (too) huge and I catch girls staring, comparing, or quietly laughing sometimes. Honestly, that’s part of the thrill for me.

Not in a “nice booty” way. It’s more like I enjoy the attention and the awkward social tension around exaggerating it. Like knowing people are analyzing my body while I’m pretending everything is natural. Sometimes I’ll purposely wear outfits that make the size even more obvious just to see reactions.

I know this probably sounds insecure, attention-seeking, or fetishy. Maybe it is. But it also makes me feel confident in a strange way, even when the attention is negative.

So a few years ago I was cheering at games, doing dance routines, stunts, all that stuff.

Now I spend most weekends inside a mascot suit entertaining crowds, messing with refs, dancing badly on purpose, and trying not to pass out from the heat.

I kinda fell into it after helping with promotions for a local team, and it turned into actual paid mascot work. Since then I’ve done games, school events, commercials, social media stuff, birthday appearances, etc.

People always think it’s easy until they try wearing a giant foam head and padding for 4 hours straight while running around stairs and getting swarmed by kids.

AMA!

We plan a scene where I vomit on another girl which causes her to vomit back on me. Any ideas how we can stage this?

Hey everyone,

I thought some people here might find this interesting. When I was between 15 and 19, I worked several times as a “decoy” or planted actor on a hidden camera TV show. You know, the kind of format where ordinary people get pulled into absurd situations and are secretly filmed, sometimes everything was skripted.

My job was usually to create an awkward, chaotic, or extremely annoying situation until people started reacting emotionally. It ranged from harmless misunderstandings to completely staged public disasters.

I work as a wet & messy double for movies, TV shows, commercials, live shows, and theme park productions.

A lot of people immediately think “stunt work,” but most of the time it’s not really dangerous.Basically anytime someone gets completely slimed, falls into mud, gets covered in fake food, or has to do some over-the-top slapstick chaos scene, there’s a good chance someone like me is involved.

So far I’ve worked on some TV family entertainment, sitcom-style productions, live shows and so on.

Right now I’m thinking about going freelance with this kind of work, and I’m trying to figure out how pricing should even work for something this niche. A normal day rate feels weird because some jobs are basically 30 minutes on set, while others involve way more prep, cleanup, costume resets, or multiple rounds of filming.

It’s also not really traditional stunt work with major risk involved, it’s more of a very specific entertainment niche.

Does anyone here have experience with pricing unusual freelance jobs like this? Would you charge a minimum booking fee, half-day rate, flat project fee, or something completely different?

Hi, ich arbeite als Double bzw. spezialisierte Schauspielerin.

Viele denken dabei direkt an gefährliche Stunts, aber darum geht’s bei mir eigentlich gar nicht. Also ich werde eher dann gebucht, wenn jemand komplett eingeschleimt wird, in Matsch fällt, mit (fake) Essen überschüttet wird oder irgendwelche übertriebenen Slapstick-Szenen.

Ich hab bisher als Studentin via Produktionsfirma und Agenturen für Filme und Serien in DACH und angrenzend gearbeitet. Momentan überlege ich aber, mich damit komplett selbstständig zu machen, und frage mich, wie man bei sowas sinnvoll die Bezahlung regelt.

Tagesgage finde ich irgendwie schwierig, weil manche Jobs effektiv nur 30 Minuten am Set dauern, andere aber deutlich mehr Aufwand mit Vorbereitung, Reinigung oder mehreren Durchläufen haben.

Es ist halt auch keine klassische Stuntarbeit mit großem Risiko, sondern eher eine sehr spezielle Entertainment-Nische.

Hat hier jemand Erfahrung mit solchen ungewöhnlichen Freelance-Jobs? Wie würdet ihr das abrechnen? Pauschale pro Dreh oder komplett anders?

The setup was pretty blunt: would men be more open to giving their number to a woman they perceive as “ugly” or one they perceive as fat?

I played both. Once with prosthetic makeup to change my face, and once in a full fatsuit that completely changed my body.

And then I had to go up to random strangers in public and ask for their number.

Same lines, same energy, same confidence… just two very different appearances.

The reactions were all over the place. Some were super kind, some clearly uncomfortable, some brutally honest.

Happy to answer anything about how it worked, how people reacted, what surprised me most, or what it felt like being on the receiving end of all that.
