SW: You were born in Waco, Texas, is that right?
VV: Yes, Waco, Texas I was born and raised there and then I went off to college in New York City and that’s where the drama began.
SW: When you were really young, did you have any idea what you want to do with the rest of your life?
VV: You know, I had ideas. It’s funny because when I was old enough to be able to comprehend what a career and job was, my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I said I wanted to be a Victoria’s Secret model. So I had that idea in my head until I realized that was probably never gonna happen for me. And so then I decided I should probably aim for something else.
SW: Had you seen the TV specials? Had you seen the catalogs?
VV: Oh, yeah. My mom loved watching the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows every year. And so I grew up watching those. And we had catalogs. it would be fun to go to the store at the mall, because what else do you do in Waco, Texas? So yeah, I was obsessed with the Victoria’s Secret models.
SW: When you saw that material, what was it that caught your attention? Did you like the glam aspect?
VV: I think I liked both. I liked the fame aspect, I guess. These women were some of the most famous models in the industry and still are, but I also really liked the glam look. They just were so beautiful and they got to wear all of this amazing lingerie and bikinis and I think at the time they were dropping like, the sexy sports line and there’s something about it that was kind of alluring to me at that age. I think it was just a mixture of all of it honestly.
SW: In High school were you a popular girl, were you a loner, a geek, a nerd?
VV: Oh no, I’ve always been a black sheep no matter where I go, so I did not have many friends. I had just one or two really good friends.
SW: Were you ever bullied in grade school or high school?
VV: No, normally I was the bully. I bullied the boys. I didn’t bully the girls, I always bullied the boys. I actually got kicked out of second grade and had to go to a different school because I was just too erratic as a kid, I guess. I was bullying too many boys.
SW: Were they stealing your lunch? Were they? VV: No, I just thought they were ugly and I didn’t like them.
SW: You started modeling at 16, so you were still in high school at that point?
VV: Yeah, I just started my junior year in high school.
SW: Was it difficult for you to juggle the education classes and modeling?
VV: No, you know, previous to that, I filled my time with sports and extracurricular stuff in school, but at that time, going into my junior year, I decided that I wanted to not do those things anymore and start working and start focusing on things I was interested in, like modeling and starting this fashion blog.
SW: So what inspired you to start the fashion blog?
VV: I really got consumed with certain influencers at the time, because it was 2016, so it was when influencers started becoming a thing. But I had a handful I really liked that lived in New York City, because that’s where I knew I wanted to go to college. So I followed them and I liked their styles and they were very into high fashion. So I kind of drew a lot of my inspiration from wanting to be in that similar category, you could say.
SW: You graduate from high school, do you immediately go to college in New York, when you did, was it for fashion and everything or was it for something else?
VV: I wanted to go for fashion, but the school I ended up going to didn’t have a fashion department. And to be honest at that time, I didn’t really, well, I would have wanted to study fashion. I didn’t really see a way into that industry that I was interested in. So I went for finance actually, because I felt like that would be more well-rounded for the corporate world that I would be getting into or not.
SW: We discussed earlier about the underbelly of the fashion business, all that aside, do you have the crazy life with all the fashion models who hang out and go to all the big clubs and all that stuff?
VV: I did do that and I hung out with a lot of the big models back in the day at the clubs. I went a little crazy when I got to college. I went clubbing and had a group of friends that were all, yeah, in the modeling industry basically and we would go out like every night to the clubs and I just got to see a whole different side of that industry.
SW: Did you have your wild crazy sex college days?
VV: Oh yeah, I did. I went crazy.
SW: Wow, Why did you stop doing fashion work then?
VV: I just got too consumed with school. It became a lot for me to deal with. At the time, I also had a job and so trying to balance school and work, I was already struggling severely with it. Then partying nonstop just kind of led to that downfall.
You’ve stopped going to school and stopped fashion. Do you get a job at that point? Or like how do you?
SW: You began modeling at a fairly early age, correct, you were a teenager, I think.
VV: Yes, I did. I started modeling when I was 16.
SW: Were you discovered?
VV: No, I started out with a fashion blog and did a lot of fashion work back then, but I never worked with any agencies and was never really discovered. Although I wanted to be, I didn’t really know how to go about it at that point. I didn’t really have any support to get there. But yeah, so I started out with fashion and then it just kind of escalated into more adult work and that was more what I was attracted to. And yeah, now I’m a fully fledged dominatrix and I do still model.
SW: The fashion industry, are there the horror stories that we hear like in the adult industry?
VV: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, I’ve always been an independent model. So it’s a little bit different, but I’ve heard of horror stories with agents and agencies, I have had my own share, just being an independent model, from photographers and producers that are just not nice, have very intense, crazy requests. The difference with fashion and adult is fashion, generally you’re not making as much money as adults, obviously, so that was the give and take there, you could say.
SW: Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re a traveling model? Is that correct?
VV: I did travel before I started becoming, you know, a dominatrix last year. I did travel trips all the time. Now I do less of those, probably only do about two a year just because my dominatrix work has really taken over. And I have a dungeon in St. Petersburg. So that’s where I work out of most of the time. Now if I work with any photographers, normally they actually come to me. So it works out.
SW: At the risk of founding stupid, what is female domination?
VV: Yeah, it’s a broader term for a lot of fetishes. There are a lot of fetishes and kinks that fall under female domination, but essentially, the female is the dominant and the dynamic. And most, if not all of my clientele and fans are males that are looking to be submissive and a dynamic and serve a beautiful, powerful woman.
SW: Do you have a specific niche under that?
VV: Oh yeah. I do a lot of niches, but I would say my most popular that sell well, and then I get the most requested are financial domination, mind fuck, gooning, and foot worship.
SW: And are the stories we hear people who were in charge all day wanted to be dominated.
VV: Pretty much. I mean, I just had an in-person session where my client was telling me that, he’s successful and runs his own company, is in charge of all these people all day, and he just wants to relax and have some time to himself where he no longer has to be in control. And he relinquishes that control to someone like myself.
SW: Does it go into sex? Or is it just, I guess, leading up to sex?
VV: It can. It can go into sex and there are studios out there that do show that side of it. But personally, none of my content, or in-person session stuff ever leads to sex.
SW: Back to traveling as a model, that’s amazing. What were the photographers like? Were they pros? Were they non-pros? Were they looking for naughty photos? Were they?
VV: There is a handful, there were some professional but most of them were amateurs that did it as a hobby. Then you had super amateurs, which is what we refer to as guys with cameras that don’t know what they’re doing, but they want to spend their time Taking naughty photos of naked girls. I would say it’s about half and half, half of a Kind of semi pros you could say and then half super amateur.
SW:Do you remember any really crazy shoots from back then?
VV: Yeah, I’ve got some stories, but I think the weirdest was in Miami. There was this super amateur guy that wanted me to pose naked in his Miami studio apartment with his dog. The AC was out, it was in the middle of the summer. He wanted me wearing a full face of makeup and it started sweating off my face. And he wanted me to look like I was basically caressing his dog naked. And it just got really weird. Then he wanted me to go out in the middle of Miami streets and pose naked with the dog out there.
SW: For you as a model, what is a good photo?
VV: Me, I like a super high glam, you know, magazine editorial style photo, the makeup, the hair, beautiful lingerie set. It was just really, really well taken, good lighting, edited well, but not edited to a point where you don’t look like yourself. I would say those are, if you’ve seen my magazine covers, those are what I consider my best photos.
SW: Content, is it the same basic idea then? You prefer everything to be glammed up and be pretty or do you like the natural stuff?
VV: I do make sure both, generally I lead towards more glam because that’s always been my style and I like getting dressed up, putting on the makeup and it seems to settle well with my fans. Like they like that look, but that’s generally where I lean towards.
SW: You have a loyalfans account right?
VV: Yes. Loyal Fans: @INeedViolet. I’m on loyal fans pretty much all day, every day, messaging fans. I update with clips, new clips five times a week. I put stuff on my feed a couple of times a week and our live stream a couple of times a month on there.
SW: To be successful on a platform like LoyalFans, is it more about personality or do you think people just come there for the sex stuff?
VV: It’s a mixture of both. I think people like me for my personality, but also if you’re not on the platform and someone’s horny, and they’re ready to play, then they’re going to go to whoever is available. So yes, they may like your personality, but if you’re not around when they want to play, then they’ll just find someone else. I’ve literally been told this by fans.
SW: When you create content, do you create content you wanna shoot or stuff you think will be popular?
VV: I do both because I’m a dominatrix. My content is skewed towards female domination. So a lot of things fall under that category, but normally it’s what I want and what I know will get fans to interact with and pay me more, essentially.
SW: Do your fans like a particular niche type of product? POV,raw, glam, pretty?
VV: They like anything they can get their hands on to be honest.
SW: At this point, you do boy, girl, girl, girl.
VV: I don’t do boy, girl. I did for a little while, and it was just with my partner on an amateur basis when I had my OnlyFans, but since I opened my loyal fans account last October, I transitioned to all just female domination. So it’s all solo content, and pretty much none of my masturbation content is out there besides the production houses that I’ve shot with. I don’t sell it on my own fan sites anymore.
SW: And when you shoot, are you involved in the entire process? Do you shoot and edit and all that stuff?
VV: I did. Actually, last month, I finally hired an editor because I released five new clips a week. It just got too much to handle from shooting to editing to uploading. So I still shoot and I still upload and copyright everything. But as far as editing, I’ve handed that over to an editor, which has helped lighten my workload in that regard.
SW: You’re just a content creator, right? You don’t do mainstream at all.
VV: I am also a model, but the mainstream I’ve done has just been solo porn for new bios and other smaller production houses.
SW: But you do have other clip sites, platforms, right?
VV: Yeah, I sell all of my stuff. I want clips, mini vids, and loyal fans.
SW: Do you do custom work?
VV: Yes, I do.
SW: Craziest request you got for a custom.
VV: This was before I did just Femdom customs. This guy wanted me to create a drowning scene where I was drowning in a pool for like 20 minutes, just bobbing in and out, out of the water, just like suffocating in the water. Yeah, it was different to film. That was when I kind of first got back into the industry.
SW: How do you end up in adult work?
VV: I had a little job in college. I went to college for a year, and then I decided I needed a break. So I came back to Texas and got into the real estate industry, because that was really my next division, was becoming a real estate agent. And then I did that for three years, I think. At that point, I realized I wasn’t very happy doing that. I was modeling on the side as a hobby, doing, fashion work with local photographers. And then I kind of had this realization that I could pursue modeling full-time and make a living at the same time. That gave me the best of both worlds. Once I realized that I quit real estate and did modeling full time, that’s when I would do the travel trips and whatnot. Then I started working with some fetish producers and more adult producers and constantly just kind of learning what my boundaries were with that. But it just quickly kind of turned around for me and it started being more fetish, more adult work, and then somehow ended up here.
SW: How did you discover what that was {Fetish}and all that?
VV: I’ve worked with a handful of fetish producers and a lot of them were encouraging me to go to FetishCon, which is in St. Petersburg in August of every year. At that point, I really expanded my horizons and in the matter of like, four days, I shot with like, 50 different producers. It was nuts. I also started working with some Femdom producers and that’s really how I got into it and learned about it. Cause I really wasn’t aware of what it was. I had briefly heard about financial domination in the past, but I thought it was fake to be honest. It was like, I don’t know how that could be a real thing. But no, I quickly learned it was very real. I realized I didn’t just want to continue modeling, I needed to have a game plan for my future as well. I can’t always be a model. So I was like, I want to start my own clip stores to have another stream of income. And I knew it needed to be in the fetish capacity because the amateur capacity was not working for me at that time. So that’s kind of when I realized that, the Dom was kind of calling to me because I was like, this is something I’m really interested in. I have a lot of fun with it.
SW: From bullying boys in second grade, does that help when you get into that?
VV: Yeah, that’s funny. Little Violet would have never known she’d be a full fledged pro bully for, you know, bullying men is my career now.
SW: Have you pegged a lot of men?
VV: Yeah. I do quite a bit of in-session work and here in St. Pete that is my number one request is pegging.
SW: Is that something you enjoy or something they request?
VV: I list what I’m comfortable doing in my sessions on my website. So they pick out of those categories what they would like to experiment with in our session. Depending on the amount of time they book with me, I tell them this is what we’re going to do. And yeah, a lot of them say they want to do pegging. And so I have some requirements with doing that in person. But yes if they request it, great. But it’s also something that I find enjoyable. It’s pretty fun.
SW: For you, what is the reality of Doming versus what people think it is?
VV: I think the reality is that it’s how a lot of people escape. The BDSM world is kind of like the safe place for people to leave their own reality, their real world, their jobs, their families, or whatever they’re leaving. And they come into this, face BDSM and FEMDOM particularly, where they get to really be themselves. They don’t feel like they can truly be their authentic self in the real world for whatever reasons. A lot of the times that’s dealing with others’ judgmentation.
It’s looked down upon obviously, it’s still sex work and it’s just kind of like this, faux pas like uh I don’t know, but it’s not something most people in today’s day and age still accept as, you know, being normal as being into BDSM or FEMDOM. But I get to see a different side of it. I get to see people really enjoy that time we spend together and really become themselves. And it’s a nice experience.
SW: Do you intimidate men when they find out that you’re a femdom?
VV: Yes, I would say I intimidate men, period. I don’t go out boasting that I am a dominatrix by any means. Most people are too scared to even ask me what I do for a living. So that’s fun. But yeah, I would say they become even more intimidated if they find out that that’s what I do.
SW: How much different are you than the person people see on camera? How much of this is an act?
VV: Really, none of it is an act. It’s just in my personal life, I’m a little bit more tame and more introverted, into myself and I’ve always been that way. But in this femdom space, I get to really live out who I feel my authentic and genuine self is that I wouldn’t normally but I wouldn’t normally be this extroverted in my normal life for whatever reason. So in a way, it’s almost an escape for me to get to really take on this character. But none of it is an act. It’s just a different side of me. It’s almost like a different personality, or all my alter ego you could call it.
SW: From being in the sex business, is sex still an important part of your life or is it just a job?
VV: Oh yes, it was a very important part of my life. I think, being married and having been in, several relationships prior, it’s a healthy part of a relationship to have a sex life and to have someone that you, whether you want to experiment in that realm or whatever it is, but yes, a healthy sex life is a must.
SW: Do you like having sex in public?
VV: Yeah, I’ve had my fair share of public sex.
SW: For you, is it a turn on that people are watching, or you might get caught?
VV: Both. I feel like when I have had it in public, I don’t actually think that anyone’s going to come over, like one of the security guards or whatever and be like, Oh, you’ve got to stop it, because I think they’re actually going to get turned on by it.
SW: Is it a turn on for you knowing people will pleasure themselves watching your clips.
VV: Oh yeah. That’s a big turn on for me.
SW: What are your social media handles, platforms, etc?
VV: Sure
