In Appreciation Of Clementine Crow. A Homage To The Weird & Wonderful.

This is not a blog that is supported,funded or created in any attempt to profit, or create web traffic. It is simply one fan's wish to put to text lasting testimony to the individual in an occupation that at times can aspire to something more than the usual, and others that share this quality. Clementine Crow or ClementineCro is one such model. This is not the place if you're seeking a plethora of hot pictures and videos; nothing against that- in fact, it's a good way to show how Clem fulfilled this essential requirement of a cam model's job but there are many places seekers can find such evidence.Type in "hot mama (to cats)" and well, I'm not sure what you'll find. The intent is to examine how someone can and did push the form beyond the norm, and in doing so, achieved this by also maintaining a humble, kind, and still awesome persona.

This early work, now referred to as a video from 1929. Titled: "Clementine Crow Would Never Opt For The Obvious Joke But Even If She Did, She Would Make It Worth Your While". Theater workers fumed about the amount of letters needed for their marquees, too much to chew on. This resulted in The Legendary Film Houses Staff With Incredibly Exhausted Arms Strike of 1929. Eventually settled with movie houses refusing to show her shorts, or in shorts. Subsequently any film that Clem released had little but wonderful natural titles.

MISS CLEMENTINE CROW   Caught Shaving Her Pussy

 

ENTINE OW!, Indeed. Recently when G.oogle reformatted Blogspot, this post was oddly altered back to its first rendition of which is a messy rough draft, at best.  Rather than stew, or give it up, I decided the best option was for me to go back and rewrite it again (this time saving the script somewhere else) This project was born from a band of loyal followers who in missing her presence came together to create this page, believing that anyone longing for some element of Clem, might stumble here, and curious or spent in other ways, might be interested to consider the examination of the enigma that is also Clementine.  Even the name chosen is confusing,"Clementine Crow" or "ClementineCro". I still find it difficult that she went with Cro on MFC only because the letters didn't fit.  She seemed too considered to allow her brand to be altered only because of this reason. Whatever the answer is, Clementine made it work. Personally, my choice would have been "Entine Ow".

Additionally here is a capture of she who is also known in the Lounge as Bright Light, or Great Nipple.

Clementine first quietly appeared on MFC sometime around July 2014, showing up at least once or twice a week, but less so after the first two years. Previously she was on cam on StreamMate, before this on TUOTW. (The Ukuleles of the Weirdos) and also what amounted to cameo appearances on other sites. In this two and a half year period that she infrequently appeared, Clem had built her room to often the most watched when she broadcast.  She stopped streaming in January 2017. Rumors have circulated that a large intense beam of light was viewed on cam transforming into a blur of bright energy, and then she was gone. This account has been verified by her cats. Subsequently she was spotted once in Roswell, NM holding a cup of soup.  I missed the last broadcasts so I don't know if she said goodbye, blew up her camera or if there were crowd control issues from too many people congregating by her windows and the hallways outside her door, just for the thrill of a good listen. Listening to her was thrilling enough. The balance of sound. A unique aspect of experiencing ClementineCro is that in her last year, her public cam shows would bring 2 to 3,000 viewers (I wonder what the MFC record is) driving traffic to her room when she was in the throes of sensational pleasures. Each time you would find yourself in a virtual crowd of thousands. Sitting alone in your room felt crowded.  However because of her lack of appearances -and this may have been intentional, Clementine never ranked much higher than the top #200, and only in her last month, did she peak at #96. Then that blur of red,white and blue light.

This photo is from the waiting room of her orthopedic specialist. While camming during a marathon session, Clem experienced intense back pain and here we see her waiting patiently for her turn for assistance. Hours of surveillance footage show that she was forced to wait for a long time, writhing and turning constantly to alleviate her symptoms. 

That blue, blue light. Or sunlight breaking through the windows as night brightened to a new day. Clem spent hours preparing before broadcasting; her attire, the visual and audio quality, how the room would look and feel during a broadcast and perhaps considering how the duration of time might alter  this.  If just one of these considerations didn't meet a standard she desired, she wouldn't broadcast. That's why in the period of the years that she was on cam, she broadcast less than a hundred times.

Self made, sets by Clem.

Behind those big eyelashes are some gigantic peepers.

Clementine stopped streaming before the the lush or vibe became the popular tool online as it is now. For cam models these yesterdays were the realm of the cucumber and broomstick handle.  I wonder how she would have adapted to these devices as Clem controlled the relaxed flow of her room. Clementine was nobody's tool. She possessed an excellent sense of theater; both visually in her preparation of herself and her room- the lighting and aesthetics; there was never cords and laundry laying about, attention to color and perspective, the camera framing the visual like a painting or movie set. Plus her auditory skills-of how she used her voice and intonation to warm and comforting appeal. A kind and warm presence online but Clementine would not be bullied, or tolerate anyone attempting to mock and hurt others. The skill set of how she moderated her room was a practice to appreciate and learn from.  It turns out that where she broadcast from was not a large space but her use of it was creative; varying set ups and perspective, use of light and angles to bring a freshness to the eye.

Some may find this photo distracting. 

Clementine's manner of engagement was unique in how she would be inclusive of all in her room, respond to everyone participating and do so with elegance, humor, mystery and a sensuous quality that very few are able to accomplish. She was very funny, occasionally sarcastic, always intriguing. A viewer may have wanted the room to get to a specific destination but the path there was unusual, not rushed. We followed her and what developed was collaborative, built on the mood and the life of the room. She was open and accepting,never laying guilt trips on viewers to tip, only encouraging us to lead our best lives and enjoy perving on one who was very perv-able.

When the time was done, you were exhausted from what had transpired, It might have been as silly as Clem open to accepting some recommended bars of soap by a coincidental nearby patron, while encouraging someone else not to drive drunk before a lengthy, exhausting but exhilarating play to orgasm. At the end of a session she was spent, and so were we. It was earned. It was shared. On interactive cam sites,it's not as if the story ever really changes or develops. It's a safe bet that where we wish the plot to end up is a similar destination. It is like watching another Die Hard movie; You can't help but watch but after, it feels familiar, and tired. With ClementineCro there was often an arc, a story to her room; the art of building drama in the method of tease and play, space for give and take (our participation mattered), no on-demand orgasms or for this matter, B.S. that we are all stupid to believe orgasms occur with a finger snap (well, we are but thank you Clem for not inferring such). Each time was different and distinct, inspired. The destination was important  (never in my experience a let down but a series of grateful rise ups) but the enjoyment, engagement and craft was paved in the road in getting there;  the playful dance was even more important. The prep for her room and attire was something obsessed about because this might have been a quirk of hers but also this was a sign of respect for her audience. Duly noted and appreciated. Online, she existed within the balance of being awesome and humble, desirable and ridiculous, intriguing yet approachable, goofy and sensual.

She had a knack for an unpredictable inappropriateness which would have you ducking for cover. A woman with many quirks and none odder than her obsession with old Asian men. I suppose it's natural for people to have collections of unique porn topics but no thank you for sharing. She could surprise in ways that often were organic to the complexities of herself. If she were to pull rabbits from a stylish hat, she might then stop to nurture them, and find the hoppers a hopeful place to live. It might seem as if she was grabbing bunnies just for show but Clementine would be actually reaching into bonnets because this is no humane space for a living creature to be. If both her destination and her roadway to get there are a mystery, so be it.

Her love and care for stray animals, lost people, a mistreated Earth would seem to place her in the comfort of the mainstream but Clementine's process never seemed to opt for simplicity: digging deeply into the complicated reasons why and processing the path through the labyrinth before offering solutions. A curious person as to why we choose what we've done, said or written, too much the individual to fit in any popular camp, even if this willful exclusion brought feelings of not being a part, detached. How odd then when broadcasting to find herself the center of attention.

While there is hope that someday she may choose to return- as time goes by, the chance of this diminishes. Sometime after Clementine had stopped broadcasting, I had added her name in a tip note in response to a question, to a legendary MFC peer of hers, AleXis. Instead of ignoring or writing a quick reply, Alexis stopped the flow of her room to address the craft of Clem publicly. Alexis said that "Clementine is an artist, one I admire. What I do is my crazy shit but she (Clementine) creates something that is special and different. I love Clementine".  Other models have expressed Clem's support and helpful kindness.  One who used to use the name MFCAllison responded with, "Love her. Wish her the best."  There is not usually craft and art to this field but there can be, and sometimes in breathtaking ways, it exists.

I first discovered ClementineCro, when I was bored on a midnight perversion and felt immediately that this was like someone I had not encountered before, nor might I ever again. Of course I had thought this way before but the difference here was this was the only time where I was actually correct. I remember previously believing that when I first discovered "JerrysBallsE." on ManCams that I had found my perfect perv home and would not need to go anywhere else.  I was wrong; ten models, and one anteater later, I discovered Clementine. Some might say that that she was only pretty,with many tasteful pieces of lingerie. Despite a charming, encouraging personality that both enthralled and engaged, it was actually many years studying modeling (Star Trek crafting) that informed her sexiness. That was a hell of a nonsensical sentence.  Whatever.  Clem taught herself to be weird all on her own.

In the years I spent on cam sites because of boredom, seeking connection or moist vagina spaces, I have realized that the best viewers are people whose goals are direct and simple; to get to pussy play, and encourage this with tokens, participation in the room and respectful with lustful communication. Pay to play, play to cum, depart, and come again. This viewer clocks in his/her 9-5 (more like 9pm-2am) and departs. Provides no drama and stays within the boundaries established because this is work for the models; free them of the baggage. At the same, it is work that to build the brand requires more time with the customer.  Cam sites can be for fun online interactions, and potentially friendly acquaintances but whenever I see tokens for friend add, or Snap for Life- I think people now have a warped sense of what friendships are, or the length of a lifetime is. Clementine never had us pay to be added on whatever she might have added us to-(although I believe she kept data of all regulars for study and review), nor did she advertise for much, or used Twitter merely as an ad piece to her brand. Her Twitter is actually funny, and topic worthy. Attempts to get her to make a video was similar to pulling teeth (by the way I miss her imperfect teeth) as I get the feeling that she didn't like the one way and flat dynamic of videos, much preferring the give and take, cause and effect of real time interaction. Existing in the moment, not sentimental about yesterday.

I was a cam viewer, mostly all MFC for nearly seven years. Only with Cro was I willing to share much of my back story, and appear cam:cam (to her credit, she flinched not at all when I did). Although I look back and think how silly I was to do so, this speaks to the power of her encouragement and how much I wanted to be a part of her orbit. Never had I enjoyed the volume of correspondence that Clementine so freely gave- at least x20 more than I have ever experienced on MFC and x5 on ManCams.  Yes, some reasons were as she described, living a life of solitude.  I hope that now her public absence online is because her circumstances have changed to her benefit.  Being more familiar to being called faggot than the terms of adoration Clementine supplied me inflated my sense of self more than I had ever had allowed previously. I knew the occasional name calling was never about me; it was about unhappy people lashing out at others.   I wanted to believe Clementine's regard for me, and if it was done mainly to serve the brand- well, it was received appreciatively. As an online friend wrote to me,"if all the nice things she said to make me feel good about myself were not truly felt, just hearing those thoughts expressed made me feel better about me". I get that. She healed wounds. She provided virtual bandages and blankets. Her movement initiated sparks, igniting into fire.  When referenced with hot ass comments, Clementine could even prove this -from stunt work in a movie that she performed. No walking through her parts. She gave 100%. Here is your dose of Vitamin C:

On her own, she recorded and gave me a song she wrote from a silly article I had sent her, plus the time Clem spent on emails and the pursuant truth within what we say and why we do things opened myself up to different perspectives; a reconsideration of beliefs and being more of an open person in general; less judgmental than I had already considered myself to be. Even when some of our communication morphed to a divergence from the original topic (deflect and divert!) Clem made this interesting too. Her depths of feeling, empathy and detail are impressive, sometimes uncomfortable. On the flip side I learned to never assume I knew this person of mystery, even if my intent was not to diminish. Her response was dressed in a silky compliment covered an undergarment of derision and disdain. Assume not. Lesson learned. I didn't know her. 

Reading room

With all this testimony to Clementine's craft and virtues, it's important to also point out some aspects that she chose to keep hidden, as any person who works in this occupation might choose to do. Clementine always kept her enormously large thumb hidden. Every once in awhile the camera would capture the freaky beast, and although usually distracted by the presence of her presents, look for it here.  Believe me, you get used to it.

I was fortunate to spend a lot of quiet time online, perv time in Private and Skype with Clementine, shared lengthy emails and have her take me on virtual tours and introduce me to the underrated city she spent most of her life in; Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a city of funky weather but also of important historical significance; significance of the First Nations, the labor movement represented in the One Big Union Strike of 1919, the impressive Canadian Museum For Human Rights, and several of the very best coffee options-Little Sister, Thom Bargen, Parlour, Forth, Cafe Postal, Make.. ). This, from a flippant early remark of mine of "where the fuck is Winnipeg?" I feel that she would have done this as well if I spoke of any regulars of her room in a similar way- not bring me on an internet tour of their beings but in some way letting me know that everyone, every place has value. It occurred to me when looking into her warm (despite flat screen) eyes and appreciating the kindness in allowing this venture that if I didn't really know her or would ever,  I was in the presence of one of the smartest people I would ever meet.  I don't mean the smartest in the sense that she has all the answers to the world's problems, let alone her own (who does?) but that the levels of thinking, intelligence and awareness are very complex compared to my simpler approach.

Depth of field. Perspective. Visual points of interest beyond subject. Detail. While projecting an aspect of herself which allowed a ready intimacy of discussion, some layers to Clementine were always in place serving as insulation and protection for someone who kept her distance. At the same time,an active acknowledgment of her Five pin bowling (Canadian thing) skills and how playful she can be while doing anything and everything. Very good, and very playful. She could kick your ass...if she was competitive. Clem would rather tease and please. Everyone wins.

I know Clementine has ongoing health issues that seem so unfair and yet, all of us have some personal burden to bear. I only hope that hers find care and comfort, that her beloved cats mutually nurture, and she knows she is missed and loved. Her footprint had lasting impact to many, and no animals, land and sea were harmed with her graceful steps and allowances. And yeah,she was kind of sexy.

Clementine's twitter, although it hasn't been updated in awhile was a fun read. Here's a link to get there:

There are several videos available of Clementine's enticing and alluring qualities, leading to an exploration of orifices, fantastic slurping ability from places not near her mouth, lace and lingerie, the best peel to reveal/ furr reals. The following is not that type of video showcase. It's a birthday short Clementine made for a fan who referenced a song, she riffed on it and also shows the standard in how she does her thing; which is never the usual thing.  It's funny, clever, and ultimately the coolest view- even, with a mild case of allergies.

The video is below-see the printed link (Happy Birthday. The 2050 Song...) Here's a screen shot:

Happy Birthday. The 2050 Song. Taking All The Takes I Want To Take.

Thank you for reading. And if any of you bump into Clementine Crow, tell her I said hello, wish her well and thank her for her magnificence.
