“I just felt like I had a calling that was
outside of working in my little interior
design firm.”
Dainty Wilder wants to wrap up her business trip to L.A. sooner than planned so she can
get back to her “babies” in Australia.
The unassuming star takes care of three parrots and two Australian Shepherds when
she’s not making spicy content.
She tells me her birds—Candy, Charlie and Opal—require extra attention because
they’re so intelligent.
“And I think a lot of people don’t realize that,” Wilder says. “It’s kind of just like having tiny
little toddlers around, they’re so mischievous. They like to throw things off tables. They like
to annoy—but I love them. They’re just cheeky, you know?”
The former interior designer from Sydney is enjoying her last afternoon off before em-
barking on 14 collabs in the next seven days with several of her close friends and peers.
“Two collabs a day, every day,” Dainty says with a grin. “Pray for me.”
Now in her eighth year in adult, Wilder enters the summer of 2026 as one of the indus-
try’s most versatile creators with a global following that appreciates her effortless brand of
amateur and lifestyle content.
“I kind of unintentionally lined up way too many things for a short amount of time,” Dainty
admits. “The problem was I reached out to the people I want to work with, thinking that like
maybe half of them could say yes because they’ll be in town, but everyone said yes. And I
don’t like bailing on anyone, so I’m going to do them all.
“There’s some girls that I’m working with that I’ve worked with before that I just love work-
ing with—they’re also like fan favorites.
“So it’ll be good to reconnect with those girls and a few new girls as well.”
Wearing a brown zip-up hoodie, a matching denim mini-skirt and khaki boots, Dainty
orders a vegan lunch on the Westside of L.A. as we discuss her exotic pets, her passion
for art, her industry roots and her for penchant for squirting, among other random topics.
According to Wilder, her 22-year-old Eclectus parrot, Candy, can say the name Charlie,
who is one of her two Indian Ringneck parrots.
“And she calls my name in my mom’s voice because she remembers how my mom used
to call me,” Wilder says. “And then mostly they kind of just talk their own little gibberish
language that kind of sounds like English but not really.”
