I am preparing to leave for another journey on the road, San Francisco, NYC, and Boston. You can always view my travel plans on the calendar on the homepage. I will be attending the Cybernet Conference in San Francisco. I have already met quite a few interesting prospects in terms of what I want to incorporate in Goddess of Fetish.
I have met quite a few models, producers, and “techies” or geeks that I think will serve me well, so this summer has been a learning experience in the direction I would like to take the website.
Some of the interesting things I would like to add are specialty webcam shows, and take fantasy requests from you, the fans! I have been working on traditional webcams in the muscle industry for the past five years, and I would like to take webcam performances to the next level, not only in terms of quality of the resolution of the show, but also, the quality of performance. This is where you, the fan comes in, so do not hesitate to contact me and tell me what you would like to see. This should happen in about mid July, pending everything goes will with the software and the installation of the product.
Also, I will be making regular updates on a weekly basis. I have just hired a full time video editor, Dave, and he will also be updating my site as well. It’s just too difficult for me to do everything, from traveling the world to meet and greet fans, locating talent, producing the content, and then editing and updating. My personal assistant, Sheryl, which does my videowork and the updates also works a full time job, so I really needed to find someone that can help out. So, with a dedicated team approach, I will have a better handle on focusing on what I need to do to make a more interactive website for you.
Also, in your blog you stated that Autumn Raby will begin shooting again, and that made me very happy. Autumn was truly my favorite FBB, and I really loved the work that she did. To me, you and Autumn set the standrd on what the pefect female bodybuilder should look like, and I am glad she is planning in making a return.

Thank you for your kind compliments and for being a great fan. I have been observing the adult market in bodybuilding and it's various niches over the past several years, not only as a model, inside observer, but also as an outside observer. I believe you are absolutely right, that there is a bigger demand for adult content in our industry, but there are so few models, particularly female bodybuilders that model and/or produce this type of content. Denise Masino pioneered muscle erotica with girl/girl, and still leads the pack in our industry, and Yvette Bova has followed suit with her hardcore boy/girl porn. There are only a few small companies that produce hardcore bodybuilding/athletic style porn. So, you are right that there is a shortage, and it is a niche that is ripe to be exploited. I am attending a few adult business conferences this June, and I am learning a lot about the marketing and production of adult websites. As far as "mainstream interest", I do not really think that matters, so long as the website and content is done well and keeps people coming back for more. There is much work to be done in our industry, whether it is fetish, girl/girl, boy/girl, domination, or any other variation of the muscle fetish subculture. Due to the unique nature of extreme physiques and Amazonian proportioned women, it will always be something considered niche. Everything has already "been done" in our industry on various levels, however, I would like to bring my own brand and genre of adult content come to life based on physique culture fetishists' fantasies. It's been a long time coming, and I look forward to the journey. And yes, I will be working with Autumn and other seasoned talent, as well as introducing new talent to my website.
Regards,
Amber
I have been on the road for the past two weeks traveling to San Diego and Los Angeles, and finally, now Las Vegas. I was slated to shoot with Goddess Heather, formerly known as Heather Tristany, however, it seems we were both so busy our schedules just did not coincide. However, we have rescheduled for mid July, and I am really looking forward to doing some great work with her.
I am attending the XBiz conference in Vegas, and meeting some great people that will help me develop a better website for you and delivery of services. I have a few projects in the works, as well as finishing this website. Although, GOF is always going to be a "work in progress" as new technologies develop, and the consumer demands evolve. I think it is a very exciting time for our industry, and I am really looking forward to the challenges.
I just returned from the Miami Beach Exxxotica Adult Convention. I brought Sheryl, my personal assistant, and Maven, my web designer for this new site. I made a few good connections. We enjoyed the sites and scenes of South Beach, (SOBE) and topped our last night off at The Mansion, one of the hot nightclubs in SOBE. Maven is a great dancer! He even did a little break dancing for us, and the crowd really enjoyed his efforts, too. I love the hedonistic energy and beautiful people of SOBE. Moreover, the people are really on my clock, as it is not uncommon to see people go out to dinner between 10:00 pm and midnight, and the nightclubs are just getting hot after midnight. I will more than likely attend the Cybernet Expo in San Francisco, June 25-27th.
I scheduled to shoot with Angie Salvagno, top middleweight bodybuilder, while I was in SOBE, but alas, she had some personal obligations and could not make it. We always do great work together. I know she is preparing for the USAs in July, and she told me her preparation is going well. I was the first girl she ever really wrestled, which we captured on video this past December while at Sanibel Island. It was too cold and windy to shoot outdoors, but we did some anyway.
So, I am home for one more week before I head out to LA and San Diego, California. I have a shoot lined up with Goddess Heather, whom I have wanted to work with for quite some time now. I will also do some fun shoots with Nikki Fuller, IFBB professional bodybuilder, in San Diego. It's amazing how that girl still looks like she could walk onto the Olympia stage at any given time if she wanted to. Her lines are classic. If you recall, Bill Dobbins used her photo as the cover of his first coffee table book "The Women", and she was wearing a metal bikini that she hand crafted. The very first time I met Nikki several years ago in LA, she showed me the bikini. I have never met a female bodybuilder that has retained her shape, size, and hardness over the years. Only the very gifted and those that train hard on a regular basis are able to maintain this elite level of physicality. And, Nikki is a gem to work with, as she has professional wrestling training, acting, and is a great all around athlete. Last year when we shot, Steve Wennerstrom, IFBB historian, photographed us, and featured us in one of his last columns of Muscular Development. We also did a few wrestling scenes, which we will pick up where we left off last year. You can see this content in the members section.
I will be focusing on shooting content for this site at my home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and travel to Europe in the fall. I am quite pleased with the makeover of this new website, and your input is important. So, please, do not hesitate to send me an email on the "Contact" me link. I will take your input and fantasies into account and work them into my shooting schedule.
I recently heard from my friend, IFBB professional bodybuilder, Autumn Raby, in Canada. I thought she was off the scene for a while, but she told me she is going to begin shooting again with her film crew, and she may come to the USA, so expect more big things from us in the near future. I still have a few of the Intimate II DVDs available.
It seems like only yesterday that I began competing in bodybuilding, officially in 2003, after Bill Dobbins encouraged me to take it to the next level. When I first shot with him in 2002, I was the NABBA Figure American Champion, and I only weighed around 165 pounds. It's hard to believe that was seven years ago. And, it was my first nude photoshoot! Many of the photos Bill took are classics, as is often the case with most women he shoots. My progression and journey in this industry has been an exciting one, and you will see some of my early work, and my progression.
I think one of the most significant milemarkers in my career is when I decided to develop Amber Steel to the next level of erotica featuring Femdom, and sensual scenes with men, reaching beyond the typical garden variety girl/girl erotic that is so common in our industry.
Having lived the majority of 2008 in Holland with a professional female bodybuilder enabled me to look beyond the bodybuilding stage and explore the depths of Amber Steel, and where she was going. I traveled throughout Europe last year, forming a few good friendships and began planting the seeds for http://www.goddessoffetish.com/. I trained hard while I lived over there, as I continue to here in the USA, and I have settled into a very hard, voluptuous 210 pounds. It still amazes me, looking back at old photos of myself that I have packed on nearly 50 pounds of muscle on my frame over the past five years. The life experience of traveling, living in foreign cultures, and meeting different people opened my eyes and inspired me.
During my early years in the bodybuilding industry, I shot a lot of mixed wrestling for various companies, and I will offer some of them here for sale very shortly, or you may contact me personally for them. I just bought some nice mats for my wrestling studio here at my home, and I already have a full hardcore gym set up. I will be shooting many of my scenes here in New Mexico. If you are interested in modeling for me, please contact me. I am always looking for new talent, both men and women for various scenes.
I just made a huge update this past weekend to the site as well, doubling the number of clips, and adding many of my Femdom erotica clips, lift and carries, and sensual domination. It is the culmination of work over the past year or so.
So, stay tuned, as it is going to be an exciting, hot summer!
It has taken me several years to conceptualize this website. I began bodybuiding in 2003 and realized that there is a world beyond. This world is what I would like to share with you. My work leading up to the content of this website is my domain; my world.
I hope you will enjoy discovering as much as I do...
Amber
Stay tuned for news and my personal insight in this area of my website.
