THESE are the women that turn sultry selfies in to a serious salary.
They are part of the “rinsing royalty” phenomenon, that sees young, attractive women post sexual photos online in exchange for lavish gifts and cash from complete strangers.
The trend, which is especially popular in the UK, involves men, or ‘paypigs’ spending money on expensive gifts for women they have seen online. The men, who will never get the opportunity to meet these women in person, enjoy looking at their photos, so send gifts as a token of gratitude.
Rinsing is defined as an upper-class form of gold digging, where a man showers a woman with expensive gifts without the expectation of sexual favours in return.

Sisters Lucy, Sophie and Stacie Brooks have made a killing out of being rinsers. The trio, who are all in their mid-twenties, have been sent anything from flowers, designer shoes, handbags, gift cards and cosmetics.
To ensure that their admirers send the right items, each sister posts detailed wish lists to their Twitter and Amazon accounts.
Mother-of-one Lucy told MailOnline: “It’s not seedy. It’s hardly like we’re selling our bodies. We’re doing many of these men a favour. They love our pictures and tell us how fun we look. We brighten up their day, in an innocent way.
“We’d never meet or do anything sexual. We’re not like that. My boyfriend doesn’t have a problem with it. He thinks it’s funny, if anything. Although he’s stuck on what to get for Christmas as I already have so much.
“These men are harmless. Lots have things missing in their lives. Maybe they’re lonely or lack confidence. They don’t have a glamorous girl to treat at home, so they get a kick out of buying for us. It’s sweet.”

But the sisters are hardly alone in the rinsing ring. In 2012, documentary Sex, Lies and Rinsing Guys aired in the UK — which detailed the world of glamorous girls using their charm and beauty to ‘rinse’ wealthy men for money and gifts.
In the series, viewers witnessed how these women develop virtual friendships with men online, in order to receive gifts off their wish list. The men however, receive nothing in return.

Rinsing royalty Danica Thrall spoke of the extravagant gifts she had received since taking part in the phenomenon, including a MacBook Pro, diamond Tiffany & Co earrings and even a cake mixing machine.
“Guys have all kinds of fantasies and things that they find a bit of a turn on. And I think one of them is buying gifts for girls,’ she said.

Spoil Me Maybe which has almost 20,000 Twitter followers, is the largest directory of models seeking gifts from unknown admirers. The site provides a platform for girls to exploit mens weaknesses — all at the touch of a button.
The website allows users to easily send gifts to their favourite models, who ‘love to be spoiled by their fans’.
Owner and founder of the site, 27-year-old Canadian Alexander, who didn’t want his surname disclosed, said the reason for launching the site 3 years ago was to cater for a hole in the market that restricted customers from easily finding women who they could send gifts to.
“I decided to create a website as there wasn’t many avenues where men could easily find models to send gifts to,” Alexander told news.com.au.
“I screen everything manually, so no scammers slip through. There is a lot of fake models out there, with many men around the world making fake accounts using fake photos of women to get money. It is my job to look at every application on the website before they are added and go live.”

“Spoil Me Maybe eliminates the process of going through google or Twitter to find a model you want to send a gift to,” Alexander said.
“There are several categories of models or women. Some are dominatrix, who attract customers that are willing to send presents without getting anything in return. But majority of the models send something in return if they get a gift, such as autographed pictures or short videos. “Depending on the quality of the gift, the man might even get a calendar.”

From life’s luxuries, to gift cards and cash — these women know how to play the game well.
With the golden rule of rinsing being that sex is never part of the deal, Alexander can see why women use a man’s weakness to their advantage.
“Most of the time the models won’t give something in return if they receive a cheap gift. They will only respond if they get something of great value or frequent gifts on a weekly basis,” Alexander said.
“If I was one of the women I would do the same thing. I find it a little strange, but I see why they do it.
“Why not take advantage of customers (men) who are willing to send expensive gifts. There’s always customers willing to pay and send luxurious items, so why not take advantage of that.
“Some women have received $1000 gift cards for airlines or for Amazon. The model might want to go for a trip, so they will ask for a gift card on their Wishlist. I have seen models get $2000 giftcards from a single customer,” he said.
But the craze comes with its concerns, with young women falling to the appeal of freebies for simply posting a few photos. The target customer demographic spans from single men between 30 — 60, but also consists of married men looking to ‘spoil’ a dominant model online.
“The customers that send gifts aren’t rich like you’d expect. Most of them have very ordinary jobs, a little lonely and just want to send a gift to a lady. Some are addicted to sending gifts because they can’t get the models out of there heads,” Alexander said.
“But there are married men as well. Usually these men fall for the domination models. These women guilt men in to giving them gifts instead of giving a gift to their wives. I don’t see anything wrong with women getting gifts for hard work.”
