After all, it has come via OnlyFans, the wildly popular creator platform that is geared toward … well, younger people.
But young, old, or somewhere in between. He hasn’t mattered when it comes to St. James. She has fans and lots of them.
In fact, she has one of the most-viewed pages and is one of the website’s highest earners. Perhaps not exactly what the single mother was expecting when she launched her page during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020.

St, James detailed her road to OnlyFans in a story for The Huffington Post.
“I chose to become a solo mother at age 42 using fertility treatments after I was dumped by my fiancé for a woman 10 years younger than me,” she wrote. “Becoming a mother was important to me, and I made choices that prioritized my son. My office job was a significant step down from the career I had in my 20s and 30s as a consumer product sales manager, but I had been required to travel frequently for that job, and that wouldn’t allow me to be the kind of parent I wanted to be. We make choices and then we live with them.
“However, when I saw that article, I had what people refer to as an “aha” moment. I felt what I can only call electrical surges pulsing through me as I read. I kept thinking there had to be a catch — I could take racy photos from the safety and comfort of my own home, control my schedule and make more money than I was making from my 40-plus-hour-a-week job? How could that be possible?”
Oh, it’s possible. But would anyone want to see “racy photos” of a 53-year-old (at the time)? St. James decided she would try to find out.
“For the next month, I worked during the day, did my ‘mom duties’ when I got home and then went into full-on OnlyFans research mode once my son went to bed,” she wrote. “Most nights, I fell asleep at 2 a.m. after hours of reading and strategizing.”
Eventually, she got around to building her page.
Within a year, she was able to quit her office job. And why not? By June 2021, she was making about $10,000 a month.
” It would have taken me more than three months to make that at my office job!” she wrote. “…I quickly reached the lauded Top 1% of OnlyFans creators, which meant out of the 1.5 million creators on the platform at that time (it’s now 3 million), I was making more money than 99% of them.”
St. James said the response to her endeavor from family and friends is mixed, but she’s less concerned with that and more focused on providing for her son.
“What’s more important is that he knows that he is loved beyond measure, and this career has afforded us vacations and financial stability we would not have without it,” she wrote.
“He also knows that his college is paid for and that I’m a much softer touch to buy a video game now than I was two years ago.”
What she’s selling is as old as time. If she didn’t show her breasts would anyone care..They look saggy but soft. But I wonder why no man wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Yep she’s in love with her self
Don’t be a Hater . Everyone has Feelings . try to be someone who picks people up instead of tearing them down .
