A HAMPSHIRE woman is flying high on OnlyFans after ditching her cabin crew career to sell racy pictures online.

Mother-of-two Skye Taylor decided to change careers after the Covid-19 pandemic grounded the aviation industry.

The 48-year-old from Dibden took the plunge and went full-time on OnlyFans and BabeStation at the start of this year – and says she earns twice as much as she did as an air hostess.

Skye said: “I didn’t really know anything else as I worked for Virgin Atlantic for 14 years.

“I’d previously danced at For Your Eyes Only in Southampton during the pandemic, which helped me supplement my income as a single mum."

Once restrictions had lifted, Skye went back to flying - but as it was 'not the same anymore' she decided to hang up her wings and go full time on OnlyFans at the start of this year.

She said: “There’s been a lot of backlash to me doing it, which I found strange as I’m not a different person.

“People treat you differently in this job. When I told people I was in cabin crew, they said it was great, but when I say I work for BabeStation and Onlyfans, they have a different view.

“It’s a job and I work very hard. I find the negative mindset really strange.”

Skye said her career change is not the only thing people have questioned.

Her age raises a few eyebrows, but she doesn’t think she should shy away from the spotlight.

Skye said: “The perception of the industry and people’s ages is awful, which I find really odd. We don’t stop being attractive just because we’re older.

“People find it odd I’m doing this at my age, but when you get older you are confident, not arrogant.

“We are still attractive at this age. We shouldn’t just die because we are 40.”

Skye made clear she doesn’t think much of other people’s opinions – apart from that of her two daughters, aged 25 and 20, who are supportive of her decision.

She said: “Why should I hide? I enjoy this job.

“My girls are absolutely fine, and they tell me to go for it.

“The wage I earn now is about twice as much as what I earnt when I was a cabin crew member.

“I don’t want to be in a situation where I can’t pay rent at the end of the month.”

She is also keen to dispel any untruths about the sex work industry.

Skye said: “This is one of the most supportive industries I’ve worked in. The women really support each other.

“You don’t get that support in other industries. We get so much hate sometimes that you have to stick together.”
