Making the transition from a prison guard to a porn star is no mean feat, ask the recipient of Miss Nude World 2018, Isabelle Deltore. Ms. Deltore used to guard prisoners within the walls of some of Australia’s toughest prisons before making a drastic career change into a pornstar. She actually describes herself as a “nude glamour babe and webcam model” and winning the Miss Nude World 2018 crown confirmed that she might have made the right career choice after all. Not that it was easy; far from it. Meet the woman who beat all odds to earn global recognition for her erotic antics.
Objectified
It is understandable, given her sexy appearance, that working as a prison guard brought with it a fair share of challenges. If it’s not tough enough being a female guard in the midst of tough criminals, how tough do you think it was being ‘objectified’ by the same criminals and fellow officers?
Mind you, Ms. Deltore worked in the youth justice system and was in maximum security for five years. She was also in the military reserves at some point in her uniformed career. She claims to have been very good at her job, but she couldn’t stand the constant fighting as she tried to force her way up the chain. She figured there was no way she was going to win.
“I was just sick of the violence, sick of the sexual innuendo; I was constantly being objectified and was like ‘why not make money out of (being objectified)?’” She posed before continuing, “I couldn’t figure out what I was going to do so I decided to be a secret stripper until I could get another job with my degree. But I just liked stripping too much.”
And that’s how she made the unlikely, yet handsomely remunerating transition. One day when she had done her shift in prison, she tried stripping at famous strip club Spearmint Rhino, where she claims to have earned in one night what she took two weeks to earn as a prison guard. That signaled the end of her uniformed career and the start of another.
“This is definitely more lucrative. I wasn’t on the (prison) roster, I’d done my last shift, and then I went into Spearmint Rhino and made what I would have made into two weeks in one night.”
“At 4 am, I sent the prison an email saying I resign. I was like, see you later.”
XXX Webcam star
She has since been making some good money, and she is not going to look back. Her success has seen her grace the covers of various porn magazines and has her own range of products which include calendars while she is also an XXX webcam star. You even can book a one on one nude Skype chat with her if you have some $100 to spare.
Previously, she used to have an issue with prisoners and fellow officers making a pass at her, but that has changed with her career, and now she is much happier and men making passes at her actually increases her self-esteem.
She said: “With my current line of work everyone knows what’s on the table. If they want to buy a lap dance, well here are the boundaries; we’re exchanging money for it, so it’s very out in the open.”
“Previously I would complain if I had some officer or prisoner make a pass at me. Now I’m much happier, and my self-esteem has increased.”
And just so you know, she has won the Miss Nude World gong twice, having taken the sash home in 2015 as well.
Interestingly enough, she doesn’t actually consider herself a pornstar. While she admits she’s in the porn industry, she describes her niche as erotica since she only does solo and girl on girl scenes.
“I do pornography, but the technical term is ‘erotica’ because I only do solo and girl on girl but I don’t do boy-girl stuff, and it’s that which crosses it over to pornography. But the industry is so small so quite often we don’t differentiate between erotica and pornography,” she says.
What did she learn while working in prison?
Among other things, discipline and assertiveness. She was managing units of 20-40 inmates and staff mainly consisting of tough motherfuckers, which without a doubt required a lot of discipline. And that has actually helped her in her new career as she can deal with over-excited punters. That discipline also helped her win the Miss Nude World in 2015.
She says: “I don’t know when to stop working. I will set goals, and I will do everything I can to achieve them to the detriment of everything else.” The dedication to her craft almost cost her relationship as she had to work 30 hours a week learning a lot of stuff including dance classes, choreography, and costume making to win the 2015 gong.
She may have been in the erotic industry for five years, but that doesn’t mean she has banished her former career entirely from her life. She occasionally bumps into ex-prisoners who just can’t figure out where they saw her from.
“And once I had the general manager of a prison see me when I was doing a pub show.”
“He said to me, ‘you seem much happier now,’ and I was like, ‘I feel much happier now.’”
But of course, she is happier. Who wouldn’t be when she is on top of the world and getting handsomely remunerated for it?
