CHICAGO—OnlyFans model Elaina St. James is crediting her collection of satin robes for a rise in views of her clips on various platforms.
A clip with the model wearing a pink floral robe, retailing for $7.99 on Amazon, has already received 85.1 million views.
“How a robe can create such a commotion is surprising to me, but across my Instagram accounts, I have over 128 million views (and growing) from my various satin robes—many colors, floral and solid colors, but by far, for some reason, the pink floral satin robe tops the others,” said St. James of her comfortable cover-ups and their sensual appeal. “It’s now one of my signature looks!
“By the way, I have started noticing other creators are copying me—several have actually talked to me directly telling me that they are—but I find it a wonderful compliment to be an inspiration for other creators.
“I have a theory that the Instagram algorithm likes it, and men have definitely responded positively; I call it the Fishing Lure Theory—‘Bright, Shiny, and Moving.' I bought this particular robe in October and posted the biggest Instagram reel on Nov. 2… Never had any idea that it would be my most successful reel or that it would result in my best month on OnlyFans. I gained 3,000 fans in the month of November alone. Coincidence?
“Another odd part of that is I noticed a greater percentage of fans from Southern Europe—Spain, Italy, and Greece. Why? I don't know but it’s fun to speculate to the cultural and psychological pull of the pink floral satin robe.”
St. James, who currently reigns as one of the OnlyFans’ most successful creators over the age of 55, has since added other styles of colorful flowing robes to her creative repertoire on platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Fansly, and Facebook, totaling nearly 150 million views while inspiring her own online imitators.
St. James, who launched her OnlyFans career in April 2021, now boasts many thousands of followers.
