Glamour models have found a way to make Christmas very present-filled indeed.

While many of us cheered when publications like Zoo Magazine were ripped off the shelves, not everybody felt the same way.

The downturn of the lad mag industry has actually pushed the glamour models – the scantily clad women who populated the centrefold – to change things up a bit.

Enter: Snapchat, Twitter and Amazon.

To cushion their income from the loss of lucrative nude photo shoots, glamour models are now coaxing their admirers into buying them luxurious Christmas gifts in exchange for sexy selfies and, sometimes, nothing at all.

“I think it turns men on. There’s a fetish called financial domination and this is like a passive version of that,” an anonymous glamour model in her 20s told The Independent.

“Anyone expecting anything more than a heartfelt ‘thank you’ will be disappointed. I’m genuinely grateful for what I receive, but it isn’t a payment for any service. I won’t sleep with you because you sent me something from Amazon, put it that way.”

Model Siobhan Hughes – a presenter on Babestation – includes a link to her Amazon wishlist on her Twitter account, which has over 80,000 followers.

The feed is littered with everything from a $40 makeup palette to an $1075 Louis Vuitton handbag, each carrying important notes.

“Size 5 or 5.5,” she writes beneath a photo of chestnut slippers, while “any colour” of a silk queen pillowcase will do.

Siobhan has had great success, and she’s one of many.

“I’ll usually receive two or three items a week. My list ranged from $3070 (for shoes) down to about $25,” the anonymous woman told the publication.

“Most things come from the lower end of the list, but I have had some really expensive gifts arrive out of the blue.”

Well, there ya have it, folks! If Santa hasn’t come to you, you just gotta ask the good people of Le Internet to make your exxy wishlist dreams come true.

It’s been weird, 2016. It’s been weird.
