LOS ANGELES—Gal Ritchie admits she felt the nerves kick in before her Twistys Treat photoshoot—but she assures they were the good kind. “I was super excited,” Ritchie recalls. “I had those butterflies that you get in your tummy before you’re about to do something really exciting. “For me I’ve never done a big photoshoot where the emphasis isn’t on the penetrative sex, it’s just the pictures. It was a bit nerve wracking but I got into the movement of it all and got into the swing of it.” Did she ever. Dazzling in two different looks—a sleek black dress and pink lingerie with a flower crown—the August Twistys Treat of the Month tells AVN she couldn’t be happier with how the images turned out. She lauded the professionalism of photographer JT and director/stylist Lea Lexis. “I can’t believe it,” Ritchie continues. “I remember [Abella Danger] telling me this is the biggest honor, don’t take this lightly. It’s massive.” The British stunner says her Twistys shoot was a seamless experience in large part because she’d already been on set a couple times with the Lexis crew. “So she can kind of suss out what I like and the style,” Ritchie explains. “She did the styling herself and a lot of the movements I did during the shoot were free flowing. I used to dance and she knew that, so she gave me a lot of leeway with my movements and expressing my sensuality across the space. It was really cool that she trusted me to do that.” Meanwhile, the Spiegler Girl calls JT’s photography style “amazing.” “The whole day just felt so special,” she continues. “With the flower crown, I felt like I was a little princess on set.” Gal chose to partner with Lilly Bell for her Treat of the Month scene. The pair had been wanting to work together for some time and they got their chance in the backseat of a black SUV. “I had never worked with her on camera before and I really, really wanted to. I had heard amazing things,” Gal tells AVN. “I said if I’m gonna choose, I want to pick someone I really want to fuck who I haven’t fucked before. We had built up a lot of anticipation.” Ritchie says getting nasty with Bell felt extra naughty due to the close quarters. “It was so hot and felt really sneaky and slightly taboo in the way that we were kind of fucking in the back of this car,” Gal says with a giggle. “It was so fun.” For her black dress look, Ritchie teased viewers in one sequence by doing a full split in front of a bathtub. In another image, she leaned back in the tub and pulled the silky, see-through dress over her face like a veil. “It felt like Vogue—very Parisian” Gal says. A professional Dominatrix for two years, Ritchie says her most recent job prior to her move into full time adult in August 2023 was as a software engineering recruiter for big tech companies such as Meta. “I was the annoying person that called them on the phone,” Ritchie jokes.
