LOS ANGELES—Emily Tokes summarizes her free-wheeling approach to her MyFreeCams shows with two words: “Wing It.”
“As a chatroom we usually decide in which direction my shows go and what I do that night,” Tokes explains. “It’s carefree, fun and silly! You can usually expect some drinking, too…”
She’s not kidding.
In fact the Canadian model remembers a few occasions when she downed more than a dozen shots of vodka during a single broadcast.
“Those were toilet-hugging days!” she admits.
A former bartender who is “kind of a perfectionist,” but who doesn’t take herself too seriously, Tokes threw herself “a little party with balloons and loot bags” on her five-year camiversary this past January.
In this exclusive Q&A for CAMStar accompanied by 12 pages of photography by Keith Ryan, Tokes reveals her favorite activity to do on cam, the kind of weed she likes, her No. 1 video game franchise and her first tattoo, among other things.

For some bonus questions, see below:
Where were you bartending/waitressing at and for about how long?
I was a bartender at a small privately owned pub for about two years. I loved working there; everyone was a regular and everyone was friendly with one another… and I made good money! Unfortunately, there was a change of management and ultimately a change of staff and I found I had to leave and enter the world of chain restaurants which did NOT pay as well. I found myself looking for new options quickly!
How did you hear about MyFreeCams?
An acquaintance mentioned it to me and I figured I could make a few extra bucks! I honestly wish I had done a little bit more research before I hit “broadcast” for the first time. I kind of just jumped in feet first and have been building my brand ever since!
How long did it take for you to become comfortable talking, performing/getting naked on cam?
When I first started to cam and make clips I tried my best to keep my face out of the picture because I was scared of who would recognize me, but after a month when I decided to make cam modeling my full-time job I thought “who cares” and haven’t looked back since!
Why are you “sweet, sassy molassey?”
Someone said that in my chatroom once and I thought it was very fitting as I’m known for having quite the sassy mouth at times.
What were you doing on cam when you got your current highest tip of 100,000 tokens from EfinWanaTokes?
It was October 3rd of 2018; I had just spent about a month-and-a-half off cam so I could pack/move & unpack from an apartment into a house and I was SO nervous to come back to cam thinking “what if everyone has forgotten about me?!” … Clearly, that wasn’t the case!
What is your “dick face” for 166 tokens?
My dick face tip is a pair of glasses with a penis as the nose! It’s hilarious fun and everyone seems to love it! Best two dollars I ever spent.
What’s a show tune or pop song that you’ve sung on cam before?
Pick ANY Disney song… I’ve probably yelled it at the top of my lungs.
On your Fun/Goofy Tip Menu, it’s 125 tokens for a “naked stormtrooper dance”…how would you describe that dance?
My stormtrooper dance is when I put on my stormtrooper helmet and do a little dance of your choice (“I’m a Little Teapot,” “Gangnam Style,” “The Macarena”).
What advice would you give a new cam model trying to establish herself?
STICK TO YOUR GUNS!! My personal number 1 rule. The cammunity is a great place but there’s always a couple bad apples trying to take advantage of us. Don’t lower your prices! Don’t let people cross boundaries for the sake of tokens! Don’t be lenient if people blatantly break your rules! YOU’RE IN CHARGE—make it known!
What are your hobbies or interests outside of camming?
Although I don’t consider myself having great skill, I really enjoy video games! Third-person RPGs are what I like to play most. Assassin’s Creed is my FAVORITE game franchise! I love it so much even my close regulars have sent me Assassin’s Creed-themed gifts that I hold so dear!
About how many tattoos do you have? What do some of your favorite ones mean to you?
I have a total of 17 tattoos—some small, some large. One of my favorite tattoos is an orange moth with eyes on my inner arm. It doesn’t really represent anything I just love the way it looks! Another favorite is a pair of Cymbidium orchids on my left shoulder; they’re for my mom (she’s still around!)
She’s my favorite person in this world and she’s always been my rock, having a little piece of her with me makes getting through tough times a little easier.
Can you tell us about the flying saucer tattoo on your left forearm? What inspired that one?
The flying saucer tattoo was a random “flash” tattoo drawn out by my tattoo artist (Kieran of Black Dog Tattoo in Orillia, Ontario) that I thought was really neat so I got it.
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
CHEEEEEESE! Some mushrooms, pepperoni & green peppers are welcome as well.
Who is one person you’ve always wanted to meet and why?
Keanu Reeves for… personal reasons…
Name three things that you love…
Cats—I have three! Their names are Wade Wilson, The Indestructible Mushu and Thackery Binx!
Pizza—You can have it so many ways and you can’t fuck it up!
Harry Potter—no comment needed. It’s Harry Potter.
What’s next for you?
When I graduated high school I really had no direction and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Thankfully I had understanding parents who didn’t push me into school when I didn’t want to go, and realized it would be a huge waste of their money if they did make me go when I wasn’t ready (and like me, they LOVE their money). Now that I’ve had time to figure out my passions and wants I’m ready for school! LET’S GO!
