Happy Tuesday! I am in a considerable frenzy over here, getting ready for my Vegas trip to AVN! I have all of my updates I am working on to provide you with fresh content while I am gone, as well as packing and finalizing everything around Rose Manor. We will see if I get it all done in time. I am sure I will!
Speaking of AVN, if you happen to be attending the Expo, I will be at the Clips4Sale booth! If you get my newsletter, then come up and say “Hi” and tell me. I have a special Olivia Rose Fetish sticker. I have a limited number though, so first come first serve. 😉
I have a great lineup of fellow talent I will be working with next week! I am super excited to share it with you all! So far, I will be filming with Ms. Whitney Morgan, Caroline Pierce, Toby Springs, Miles Striker, Fluffy, Laila Mayhem, Penny Poison, as well as a special slave. If you would like a fetish or Femdom custom, please reply to this email, and let’s set something up! You better act fast, though, since time is running out to order. 😉
There are only 17 days left of the “End of the Year Sales Incentive!” I am still running a custom raffle for every purchase made with OliviaRoseFetish.com URL. Just remember to send me your receipt for entry. The more clips you buy, the higher the chance you have to win!
Well, that is all the news I have for this week! Next letter you will get from me while I am in Vegas! Feel free to browse the five clips I released this week and snap them all up using my unique link! Until next time, my pets.
I recently was gifted a new sweater dress for Christmas, and I thought it would be the perfect thing to tease you all. I know you love looking at them, especially me in my curvy body, how the wool cable knit lays perfectly on me, the cowl neck shrouding my neck, and the small peek of my tits underneath the warm fabric. You know you want to stroke your cock to this sweater! Stroke to my warm, wonderful new green sweater as I tease you until you can’t hold back any longer and just cum!

“So this starts with the camera black, but you can still hear your voice. You say ok. I’m going to pull this mask off and see whos causing all this trouble. Then the camera comes on into you facing me as if you unmasked me.” Hey, you’re Donny Dastardly, one of the biggest criminals out there! And I caught you -not Fred, or Velma, or Shaggy or Scooby me Daphne. That’s who! Wait till I tell the gang. So then you call up Fred, and you start telling him you caught Donny Dastardly, and you have him back at your headquarters(You don’t need another voice just ad-lib like someone is on the line you are talking to now. Fred tells you that there is a bomb Donny planted at an abandoned warehouse, and he needs that location because there are valuables there that will be destroyed if they don’t get there in time. So Fred wants you to try and get that location. But remember you are on borrowed time. All the while, you are talking to Fred, you have the camera on your feet kind of like the first custom you did for me. Lots of shoeplay while you are talking on the phone with Fred. So then you hang up the phone, and you turn your attention to me.
You look at me and say “Ok Donny you are going to give me that location and you are gonna make me famous” You know why because for years I have been the 5th wheel in our gang behind some pretty boy, a nerdy girl, a hungry hippie, and even a rover. 5th place!! Can you believe that? I have been underutilized and under-appreciated. Well, no more. Its Daphne Blakes turn. All I ever do is carry Scooby Snacks in my purse, and I am tired of my designer purse smelling liked doggie treats! You can adlib here too because you are good at it. Just go off talking to this criminal about how you feel left out instead of trying to make him give up the location.
You then look at the camera after babbling and complaining that you always had to wear pink tights and how much you hated pink tights. But Fred made you do it. You then get this serious look and say to me “ Ok here is what’s going to happen I am going to go take care of something quick(cuz we don’t have much) time, but when I come back, you are going to give me that location and then no more with Daphne being a doormat for these other losers in the gang. That’s when you leave and change out of your pink tights and come back in still wearing the purple heels but now wearing the tan pantyhose. You approach me and say, “ Ok, Donny, I have something to ask you, and you are going to tell me what I need to pause hear…you and then say…So do you like my new pantyhose? Aren’t these so much better than those icky pink tights I was wearing? Well, this is part of the new Daphne, the one who dresses as she pleases because she wants respect. Then you look at me again and say, “Ok, its time to get down to business. Before you can even finish your cell phone rings and you pick it up to its one of your girlfriends. Are you like, “ Hey girlfriend, what’s up? No, this isn’t a bad time. Then you go into gossip mode and forget about interrogating me. And of course, while you are on the phone doing this again, you are doing major shoeplay. But you don’t know I am noticing. So after being on the phone for a little bit. You come over to me and complain a little bit more about being mistreated and waste more time, and then your phone rings, and its Fred he wants to know if you have a location yet. You tell him no that I won’t talk. Again with the shoeplay and after a few minutes, you notice me looking at your feet. You say to me, “Are you checking out my feet ?”I deny it, but you are like” No I think you are.]Well today’s your lucky day because I am going to give you a closer look. You then kick off your heels and start wiggling your toes into the camera as if you are wiggling them into my face. Then you start talking about getting your toenails done and how expensive it is-more time wasted. Then you put your heels back on and right when you do Fred calls back a final time demanding the location You go into beast mode and bitch him out about all the years he’s never taken you seriously. And it should all be about me. You are never taken seriously. All the while, your back is turned to me and once again during serious shoeplay. So once you hang up with Fred, you turn around but notice I’m not even there. You call my name a few times before being like, “Oh snot, he got away. Ah, man, it’s back to Scooby Snacks duty for me. So then you put your head down and call Fred again and are like, “Fred, He got away. I don’t know what happened. He was all ready to talk and everything.”
Here I am, minding my own business in the corner of my gym when I keep noticing a guy gawking at me. Every time I look over there, he is tongue out, practically drooling. Being the witch I am, I decide to take matters into my own hands for the sake of every other woman in the gym and me. I confront him, but he seems unremorseful. That’s when I shrink him.
With a snap of my fingers, I change him into a much more manageable size, shove him between my sweaty tits, and take him home.
AS soon as I get back to my house, I take him out and decide to mess with him a bit. I shove my smelly shoes and socks in his face, since he seemed to be eyeing them the most, and then decide what I want to do with him. I could devour him, and I could stomp him, I could do any number of things to him. I raise him to my mouth and decide to taste.
BLECH! He tastes too sweat and gross for my tastes. I think this guy deserves to go into my dirty tennis shoes to like out the rest of his days!
I know your type. You came from a nice conservative Christian upbringing and were taught no sex before marriage, so you married young. You’re now years in and unhappy. You discovered Me to worship and realized how much of a stick in the mud your Christian wife is. You sneak around, jerking off whenever you get a chance, gooning at all hours to your thoughts of embracing the dark side and the Left Hand Path.
Well, I am here to tell you that you will never be happy, you will get caught, and you should leave her. Leave your stuck up wife for a happy life. We all know how much more fun we would have. How much more adventurous it is on the other side. So do it, leave that Christian wife of yours, and have a happy life with someone better!
I have been asked a lot about my tattoos and told how wonderful they are, so I thought I would give you all a tattoo tour and let you worship my ink. I start on my arms and move all around my curvy body, giving you a show of what each one of them entails. Of course, good boys will tribute so I may collect even more and grow my ink collection.
I hope everyone is doing well this week! I am deep in the throes of updating all of my sites to make sure I have updates for you all while I am in Las Vegas.
I am looking forward to my trip. I leave in a week and a half and have so much to do before I go!

I want to play a game with you and see if you can keep pace. I am going to use my metronome while I tease you. You must keep up with the metronome as you stroke, edging yourself, and stopping when I adjust it. Let’s see if you can hold out from cumming too fast from my dirty talk, my beautiful porcelain skin, and my seductive teasing. When I think you are ready, I will count you down to cum.
Can you handle the pace of my metronome? Let’s find out!

“Goddess, I am a new wannabe slave of You. I am very addicted to You Holy Ass & Asshole. I love to be enslaved by You, and I love blasphemy. I was a pathetic Muslim slave, but not anymore. I love to join Your Church & praise You & Your Holy Ass.”
Of course, this doesn’t just apply to little Muslim slaves, no, I have you blaspheme whatever go might be yours as you worship and are teased and mesmerized by my perfect ass. You will bow down and praise it as you forsake all other religions and worship my Holy ass!
It’s a new year and a new decade. We both know how much you think about big juicy cock, but are stuck in the closet. Well, this year is going to be different. You will embrace your cock-loving self and act on those sexual urges and impulses! This year is the year you will finally leave that closet and tell the world how much of a cock loving fag boy you are, and I am here to help you fulfill those dreams and fill those slutty holes of yours.
For years you have denied your primal wants and needs, denied your love of big cocks and wanting them down your throat, but not this year, no. You will embrace your gay tendencies and go out and get that cock!
You love being humiliated, don’t you? All you are is a humiliated piggy, and I will treat you as one like you deserve, which is why I am going to let you jerk off to me, but you can only oink like the small dicked loser pig you are while stroking with two fingers. I can already imagine how pathetic you look doing this too! You’ve always been a worthless little piggy, so you might as well start stroking like one! Oink, oink, bitch, and you might get to cum!

“You are sitting on your office chair, hands on your lap, looking at a video on your laptop when you hear a knock on your door. You snap out of the trance, and you welcome them. It’s Master Jason (Camera) and your very excited to see him. ‘Master Jason! I wasn’t expecting you to come and see me personally today must be a special day! What brings you here today?’ Oh, you’ve come because you’re tired of seeing all of your henchman being pleasured by me, and you want some pleasure yourself? Yes, of cause anything for you, Master Jason, what do you want me to do?’ Snap! You become mindless and turn to the metronome and adjust it to 60 bpm and stare at it. Then you start to say in a robotic tone. ‘Yes, Master, Jason, I, am, now, reprogramming, myself, for, you, when, I, hear, the metronome, tick, my, I, will, dance, according, to, the, beat, of, the, metronome, the metronome, is, my, master, too, now, I, must, listen, to, it, and, dance, for, your, pleasure.’ Yes, Master, Jason, I, will, dance, for, you, now. You adjust the metronome to80 bpm and start to dance to the beat. For 4 min every min increases the bpm by 20 max 140 and tease while dancing (hands on hips), but with a mindless face and please show off your boobs while dancing for the last minute, please dance and shake your ass on his crotch according to the beat. After that, you walk to the metronome while still dancing to the beat, asking if he enjoyed your dancing, and you look at his crotch all hard, and you get turned on and lick your lips. ‘Hmm, looking good master Jason but I know something that will get you going ill be back.’ You stop the metronome, and you walk to the right and return in your leather jacket and pants and boots just the way I like it with the cat bra under it hair untied leather gloves in your pants back pocket. When you return, the metronome turned on to 60 bpm, and you enter the room dancing. ‘ oh, I see master Jason has already prepared for me. I see you do enjoy seeing me dance, do you now sit back relax and let the metronome do the work. You dance to the metronome for another 3 min hands on hips and hands in the air, changing the bpm every minute again (the first minute, please slowly unzip his pants while dancing and pull out his cock and shake your ass on his cock). At the same time, you striptease out of your clothing, leaving your bra and panties on until you reached 120. You dance to his cock. ‘oh, I still remember your cock being this huge master, Jason. It makes me horny.’ You stroke his cock according to the beat for the last 1 min until he cums and you orgasms when he cums. “Oh yes, Master Jason release all out oh you want me to continue dancing, of course, anything for you, Master.” You stand up and shake your ass on his cock for the last 30 seconds while you tell him that he does not need to come to you, and he can sit at home relaxing, and you will go to him and pleasure him and say, “don’t forget because I’m dark supergirl” and the video ends. “
I have been having quite a few admirers shower me with shoes, and I know quite a few love to play games with me. Shoe dangle games. I am going to dangle these lovely high heels right here in front of you, making them move up and down with my pretty pedicured toes and soft feet. I know how mesmerizing this is for you and how you can’t help but watch, waiting in anticipation for my heel to drop.

Cuck Hubby’s Christmas Gift
I am glad you’re home early this Christmas, and boy, do I have a special gift for you under the tree this year. Not only will you get to unwrap me in this sexy outfit, but I have some hot guys coming over to complete our Cuckold Christmas experience! We had so much fun last time with our threesome experience, I thought, “What better a Christmas present than to do it again?”
You know the guy friend that is always hitting on me and trying to get in my pants? Well, he is the one that is coming over. I thought it would be best if it were someone you were jealous of and better than you in every way! And his cock! It is Christmas cock, and you are going to help get him hard for my pussy. If you don’t, well, you cant participate.
I suggest you go shower and get ready because he will be here soon!
There is nothing better than a couple of days old, well worn, stinky socks! I bet you think of these socks all the time. You imagine how good they smell, how you would love them all over you, their smelly goodness all over your sock slut face. Take a really big whiff of these stinky socks. They make you weak and you just can’t help but be a good foot bitch and sniff while you stroke your sub-par dick.
You can’t be in metal chastity. I know this because of the high profile job you have. You have to pass through metal detectors every day, and you don’t want anyone finding out that you are not allowed o cum. Today I am going to test your resolve, test your devotion to me, and test how much self-control you have. I am going to tease and torment you with my curves while you watch. You’re not allowed to touch. You’re not allowed to stroke no matter how tempting this my body in this beige lingerie might be.
I have faith in you, though. I know you are a good boy, and you will pass this test of mental chastity.

“I would like to ask about a custom made scenario in which you find a shrunken man and you talk about how this his tiny member can’t please a Goddess like you and is only suitable for being food for your divine body.
You compare my body to the size cigarette, and once you’ve done giving your boyfriend a smoking blowjob, you’re going to eat me.
You scold me on how I’m smaller than your man’s dick and how you are going to feel me inside you while you are having sex as I dissolve in your stomach juices to become nourishment and energy while you fuck.”
This year I am planning on throwing a New Years’ Eve Party, and I decided you are going to be the party slave! I have invited a bunch of my best girlfriends to partake in the festivities. You won’t just be serving us, though. No, we will turn you into a New Years’ baby! I am going to diaper you and make you help my girlfriends and me all night. Not only will you be serving us champagne, but you will also be available for us to play with and use you however we want. Does my BFF wish to use a strap-on on you? She can! Does someone want to give you a hard spanking? It’s going to happen!
The best part, though, is the Diapering. You will wear a diaper all night long. We will be making you drink lots of water, too, and you guessed it. You won’t be allowed to go potty like a big boy! You’re just going to have to soak through that diaper till midnight!
I know you’re going to be excited to be used, humiliated, and degraded. Now go and start cleaning up! This is going to be the best new years party ever!
It’s the precipice of a new year, and while some of you have new years resolutions not to drink, not sniff, not smoke, and have thrown everything out, I think you should do the opposite. I know how you go through phases thinking your aroma addiction is bad and throw out all your rush, or whatever other brands you use, to turn around a few weeks later and give in to your craving and buy everything all over again.
This year is going to be different, though. You’re going to embrace your addiction to being mentally elevated and go with it. Give in to your vices this New Year, and get fucked up!
It’s a brand new year, and it is time to set brand new goals. We both know you much you love being feminized, wearing women’s panties, struggling with your love of being sissified. You have often tried to quiet, gotten rid of all of your girly clothing, and swore never to touch it again, to return to it a brief time later. This year it will be different. You will embrace being feminized, embrace your sissy side, and start fresh on a path of sissification and feminization, and I am here to tell help you do just that.
If any of you have been to my OliviaRoseFetish.com page and search the word “custom” you realize pretty quickly how much I love taking requests and turning them into something you and I both love. I put a lot of effort into a custom tailored experience of the aural and visual, combining them to make the viewer become fully immersed in the fantasy. Today I am going to walk you through the process of purchasing your own custom experience that will last forever.
What Is A Custom Video?
For those of you that are new to this world where fantasies can be tailor made, a custom video is something you commission from an adult model or adult producer that has a level of sexual overtones or sex acts the viewer (you) specifically wants to see. These videos can have certain fetish elements, such as (for example purposes) a certain pair of nylon stockings, custom scripts and dialog, specific acts, specific talent, special effects, a soundtrack, set, and the list of possibilities is endless. All custom videos are also known as “bespoke porn”. I recently had someone who requested a video tell me that is what I do, and he is right. The very definition of “bespoke” is custom made.
Now, I am sure some have a different way of going about how to purchase a custom, so I will be looking at it from my point of view and breaking it all down step-by-step for you, from before you even send the initial contact email, to how long you can expect to wait for your custom.
So, you see a model you really like. You see they do customs and want them to do yours. Before you send the first email you need to ask yourself a few questions:
Does this model take custom requests? It might be surprising, but some models do not take on customs. Custom requests and collaborations take a lot of work and some models don’t have the time or wherewithal to deal with customs. Understand that and respect that. If she doesn’t produce them herself you may try and reach out to producers that work with her and go from there. If she DOES make custom requests, I do suggest doing research on your model before buying for the first time. If you see her selling her customs after the fact, that is a pretty good indication she follows through on her orders. Unfortunately in this business, as with all, some people will rip you off and flake and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It also hurts the rest of us who are responsible and fulfill our business promises.
Does this model take my kind of custom request? Now that you have found out that your model does create custom requests, it’s time to find out if she takes your specific kind. Just because someone makes customs doesn’t make them do every kind of custom. For example, I don’t do boy/girl customs that involve any sort of sexual act. If you were to come to me for a custom where you want me to give a blowjob, the chances of that happening are zero, but I do produce those types of videos with other models. Just check out my “The Nurse That Gloved Me” for an example. I hired both the adult actors for the video even though it isn’t something I myself perform in. If you do not know what the model shoots I suggest looking at their clip store, website, or social media page to see what kind of content she is featured in. If you must ask them, be specific about what you want, and if they say “no,” simply thank them for their time and move on. Trying to coerce them into doing a custom that they don’t do wastes both of your time as well as being extremely manipulative and rude. On that same note, some models start off doing certain types of videos, but then stop doing them. If the models says that they do not do certain types of videos any longer, move on. Trying to show examples of how they “used to” do certain styles of videos in the past is manipulative and wrong.
How much is my Budget? This is extremely important as well. If you want a grade A Hollywood production you can’t expect film school prices. If you see that the model charges a minimum of $150 for their time and production skills, you wouldn’t come at them with pennies, would you? No. When thinking of what kind of budget to set for your custom creation, you must factor in the model’s wardrobe, the set and if they will have to rent a space, talent and if they will have to pay another model, camera person and if that cost has to be accounted for, special fx and if it will take longer editing, cost of props for your scene, and lastly the length of your custom video. Also another thing to take into account is your model popularity. Is the model you want always busy doing videos, are they a top selling fetish star or porn performer? If yes, they will probably have higher rates. Remember, supply vs demand applies even in this industry.
Do I have a detailed idea of what I want? Simply stating that you want a custom from someone is fine, but it is aways good to have a full idea of what you want and vision of your project. Simply stating you want a “toilet fetish” video doesn’t give me all that I need to create a price quote for you. This could branch off into a ton of different options to choose from. Do you you want a pov custom video talking about it? Do you want to see the act? Just sending a two word description without anything else does a disservice to both you and the model and is a waste of precious time. I suggest getting into exactly what you want. I personally have the “more detail the better” philosophy when it comes to custom ideas because then I can get the picture of exactly what the custom buyer is envisioning. I like my customs perfect and want to make sure it is something you will love and treasure, and hopefully come back and get another dose of! On the other end of the spectrum, however, you can go overboard on certain elements. Having a few “trigger words” or key phrases that you want the models to say or even dialogue you want paraphrased is one thing, but having a 15 page script that you want performed verbatim can be not only tedious, but difficult to do. Most custom makers are not classically trained actors. You will find many of us have theater or acting background, but having to run lines and do retakes because you want the exact script can be extremely daunting and takes away from what we want to act out. If you want a 15 page script word for word, be prepared to pay for it.
So, you now have a custom video maker that caters to your types of requests, a budget, and a rough outline of exactly what it is you want. It is now time to contact the model to discuss your video! Here comes first contact and how to go about it the correct way.
Billy Boston getting his face licked for the custom “Hard Licked“
First Contact
You know the above list I told you to have ready? Here is where it will come to good use! When contacting your model or producer by their preferred method, compose an email of the aforementioned items, Be polite. Remember, the model is most likely taking her valuable time to answer your request and the sooner she gets a basic idea of what you are looking for the better. Be precise. I understand how some of you are weary about handing out your script to just anyone, but that doesn’t mean you leave out key details such as the exact type of video, the actions within the video, key props the model might need, wardrobe, who you want in the video if not a “POV” or point of view video, if you want them to say your name, and how long it will be. Including all these items within your letter of introduction email will ensure you get a proper quote.
Here is a good example of a proper letter of introduction for a custom video:
Hello Olivia,
I was wondering if I could possibly commission a custom from you? I would love to see your beautiful soles worshipped by another girl. I want you to be wearing high heels and have her gradually take your shoes of and lick your feet. I would like the custom to be ten minutes, you to be wearing a dress and the other girl in casual clothes. May I please ask how much this custom video will cost so I may budget for it? If we are both on the same page as far as price, I can send the final script/outline of the exact details I would like included.
Thank you for your time,
Best Custom Client
As you can see above it has all the elements needed to set a price point. It is a two girl video that is ten minutes long and it includes a girl/girl foot worship element. It is to the point and lets me, the model/producer gauge how much it would cost to film. This, of course, is a very simple outline as well, which means it’s not too hard to price. Now, what should you not do?
Here is a bad example of the same custom video:
Foot fetish
Seriously, don’t do the above. This creates a string of emails with me trying to extrapolate what exactly you want to see. Since fetish and custom videos are so extremely nuanced, one persons foot fetish dream clip can be another persons nightmare. I am also not psychic, all though I wish I was. Remember: all these details you have compiled are going to make this the smoothest transaction for both you and your model.
Here Comes The Sticker Price
So, you have compiled your outline, contacted your model or producer, and she has sent you back a price quote for all the things in your video. It is either lower than you thought (yay!), just within your budget, or way more than you have anticipated. For the first two scenarios listed, that’s great! Use the payment method the model likes, ask about how long it will take (Mine take about one week from purchase as long as it is a solo custom video and I don’t have to acquire and props and can use everything I have already at my disposal), and sit back and wait for your custom.
Now if your custom is not within your budget, either save your money for when you can purchase your beautiful masterpiece, or politely decline. Remember, politeness goes a long way and if you tell her your budget they might even be able to make some magic happen. This is, of course, if it is within their means. Do not expect the model or producer to make an extravagant Hollywood production on a shoe string budget. Hiring models, acquiring items, and of course our time, has to all be accounted for. I have practically been asked to work for free, after expending the budget of props and costumes, and than had people get upset that my prices were so high. Don’t do this. Just move on, save your money, or change your script to reflect your custom video budget. It is downright deplorable to get upset at someone and backhandedly insult their craft if you can’t afford it. Another thing not to do, if it doesn’t fit your budget and there is no way to budge it the slightest, is to tell your model or producer “X, Y, and Z model” did it for this much.” while that is great for “X, Y, Z model” to be able to pull of your masterpiece, I am not “X, Y, Z” model and I wont sell myself short, and ultimately you, to make your budget if it is impossible to do. My work speaks for my abilities and I refuse to put out bad work. I’d rather say no and not do it then do a subpar job at conveying your custom.
Waiting For Your Custom
So, you agreed upon a custom and the price, sent payment and now it is time to wait for your custom. Be patient! I understand you are probably understandably excited, but something that is custom and for you takes time to craft. In my case, I will give you a day that I will shoot and then a few days to edit after, especially if the custom is shot while out of town. Do not over email! Most of us are very busy and constant emailing makes it difficult to finish our work. Every time someone emails we must stop everything and answer, which leaves less time to beautifully craft your custom experience.
Another thing I would suggest NOT doing is mentioning another custom and how you want the producer to make it until you have seen the first one. Sometimes I think custom clients do this to ensure the model does a great job. I can assure you that I will do my best and give you the same or better quality whether it be your first or your 50th custom. Dangling a “carrot” is disingenuous especially when you don’t really plan on buying another. I never feed into this behavior and I suggest any new models or producers don’t either. I rarely receive a second custom request when this is done. Don’t feed into it. Do your best no matter what.
Receiving Your Custom Video and Viewing It
Today is the day! Your custom video has arrived! Most custom makers I know send you your custom by Wetransfer, Dropbox, or GoogleDrive. I personally like using Wetransfer, as long as it is a file under 2GB, because that allows the client to view and download the video right away for free. I also always ask for feedback on my customs. I like to know if you enjoyed it, and like to know if it hit your spot or not. I am not afraid of constructive criticism either because it allows me to improve my custom production skills and tweak them so they hit all the buttons.
Conclusion
There you have it! The proper way to order a custom video so everyone is happy and you get a better result. I hope this guide has been useful for you and you take my words to heart. Feel free to leave a comment if you think I have forgotten something or you have any questions. I am always willing to answer feedback.
