Years ago - this is like 2009 she, along with a few other "alt" lads mag cover girls was booked to make an appearance at the local emo/alt nightclub as part of a magazine tour.
My housemates girlfriend was just getting into the glamour photography business, and had previously been a covergirl for the same magazine so she knew the girls and the accompanying staff.
Via my housemate I got into the small "vip" section (but if you think this was bottle service and velvet ropes, think again).
Somehow I convinced Kitty Lea to get a taxi with me round the corner, to the usual afterparty residence of another club promoter from my preferred house/techno spot.
I can't remember the exact details but IIRC this was the one friday or saturday when he wasn't having an afterparty, leaving me scrambling to find somewhere I could show up to with Kitty Lea in tow.
She eventually gave up and left me with "can you get out of the taxi please"
I've actually got emails from her a few years later when she was thinking of becoming a Domme
As for the effort - I've actually got one clip from her c4s clipstore which was literally just her tidying her room in underwear.
But yeah, there wouldn't have been that much money in prime lads mag era. Either you moved into something more mainstream, married into money like Rosie Jones and The Body Coach, or focused on the start of the OF boom - which KL could and should easily have done.
Here's some of the emails I have with her

That glamworship comment is a reference to the original C4S store of the Onlyfans founder Tim Stokeley. Onlyfans was originally populated by UK glamour girls, who all used the referral bonus to refer others.
So yeah, she absolutely was in the "right place at the right time" to monetise her following and transition to OF
heh, gone down a bit of a rabbit hole here.
It seems Glamworship is still actively posting on Twitter, has a Loyalfans and an OF but the OF says they're closing and "moving to new places"
The Glamworship twitter is also promoting SUBS, which is the new fansite from Tim Stokeley.
So it's a little bit odd to me that:
A) Tim sold OF for £100m
B) He's still keeping his pre OF, 2011 clipsite active
C) He had to move from OF to LF, presumably because LF is a lot less strict on release forms than OF! OF only accepts verified co-performer tags or OF official release forms, so he's unlikely to have those for many of his glamworship girls
