She Walked Away from Criminal Justice to Become a Pinup Icon (w/ Erica Fett)
On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with model, actress, cosplayer, and podcaster Erica Fett, whose journey is anything but ordinary.
Erica walked away from a career in criminal justice to pursue life as a full-time pinup model and cosplayer, choosing creativity, authenticity, and nerd culture over a traditional path. Today she is one of the most recognizable faces in modern pinup and a thriving creator with a massive following.
Mike and Erica go back to their early days together during Mike’s Suicide Girls photography era and dive into the craft behind creating an unforgettable image. They talk about what it takes to shoot a truly electric photo, how a model stays consistent in style and tone, and how Erica built a career by unapologetically being herself.
Erica also opens up about the pressures of modeling, how law school gave her the confidence to bet on her own voice, and the realities of making a living through modeling, cosplay, and content creation in today’s world.
If you have ever dreamed of leaving the “safe path” behind to chase something creative, or you want a rare look behind the curtain of the pinup and cosplay world, this is a must-listen episode.
