Wishing all the wonderful members of the UMD community a peaceful and healthy 2020.
Thanks for all your amazing support and encouragement in 2019 which means more than I can say. I'll detail below some of the things you have done to make my year so special
Welcome to the fifth annual 'Who should I work with / what should I do?' New Year Thread
Thanks to you I have been able to keep the business afloat in 2019. It hasn't been easy but every one out there who has commissioned a custom, or subscribed to one of my stores, or bought a scene, or written a positive comment, or review, or hearted my pics, or sent an encouraging reply, I owe you so much. Thanks for helping me keep creating content for you all.
1) We had our strongest sales year yet. That's the fifth year in a row and it was very much needed as this was my first full year doing this for a living. The taxman will be coming along soon to take his share, but if my calculations are right, I should just about still be in a position to keep going. So thank-you again. Never think it doesn't matter because it really does. Every single sale makes my heart soar.
2) It was the year of the Subscription. One major element in keeping me going has been the big increase in subscribers. I always wanted to build a large body of work, to make streaming a really attractive proposition. I now have over 450 scenes available to stream via subscription, and I give 'Plus' subscribers 65% off any scenes they decide to download and keep, having streamed them. I wanted to make it a fair and attractive proposition, to try and build a regular base of customers who maintained their subscriptions (5 new scenes added weekly so there's always new stuff) and in 2019 I achieved this and managed to become the top subscription site on UMD, which makes me very humble and grateful. Thanks to all my subscribers
3) I finally stopped shooting in my own home completely. In 2019 I shot mostly at Candy's studio, but have also found another studio too, also brilliant and with another lovely host. So in 2020 I hope to film at both studios again. Shooting in studios with bigger rooms, and facilities like gunge tanks means better quality for you. Also with brilliant assistants like Rod Whitestar and Mr Moe, the whole experience is better, meaning I get more content shot for you.
4) Extending my partnerships. In the summer I acquired a new tranche of Kaydens scenes including 12 previously unreleased scenes which are hot hot hot. I also bought the 'Adventure In Wellies' store and have a few unreleased AIW scenes still to upload. I have also partnered with other models and stores / content producers to produce great content for my stores, which has gone really well.
5) I have upped my number of new releases to 5 per week (as part of this increase I now release a new Male WAM scene every week, and it's a regular part of my schedule now)
6) Customs: To make shoots viable I have released they need to be at least 2/3rds funded by customs. I shot more customs than ever in 2019 including my first ever 'Customs Only' shoots. I've been really grateful for the positive feedback from my custom customers.
7) Winning awards at the Messtival Ceremony in March. It was such a terrific and special day, and made me so happy. My trophies are proudly displayed in the mantelpiece and I am so grateful to all who voted for my work.
and my goals for 2020
1) To keep the business afloat (key one that, and I never take it for granted!)
2) To get the subscription store to have over 700 scenes in it by year end
4) I also need to decide whether to split off my male content into a separate store..and if I do, where I put the women trashing men scenes. I am utterly undecided on this one.
Okay...so back to the main thrust of this thread:
What I'd love to hear from those of you who enjoy my sites is..what would you like to see more of or less of in 2020, and who should I work with in 2020...that is which of my existing models you would like to see return, and which new models you would like to see make their Slymsford's debut in 2020.
Also any general suggestions for things you would like to see are always welcome
In previous years 'new model' suggestions from the community that I have ended up working with include
Satine Spark Masie Dee Rebecca Leah Kayla Louise Kacie James Bad Dolly Harley Gacke Tindra Frost
so it's always good to hear your choices..and you just never know, we might end up booking them.
Meanwhile here are some pictures from forthcoming scenes, to thank you all for your support and encouragement over the past year.
ItsJay said: Happy new year Rev I hope this year is better for us both.
Honestly, the scenes you shoot are some of the best out there. You chose the models perfectly, so I am happy to buy movies with models you see fit.
I would love to see more slapstick movies with a story. The build up always makes it better, especially with how messy you get them!
Thanks Jay. I really appreciate the positive feedback. I am so glad you like the work.
Don't worry there will be plenty of slapstick scenes with a story to come this year. I know this, because I have shot plenty and just need to get round to editing them.
DJ87 said: I'm not sure if she's available, but I'd love to see you get Mostwam's Mia back for a few shaving cream pie scenes
Also, the 2020 scenes look great! I have to ask, do you have an estimated release date for this scene? Cheers!
I'm not sure if she is still modelling, but I definitely would love to get Mia back for another shoot. That was on my 'to do' list already, so that was an easy win .
Glad you like the upcoming stuff. That one is scheduled for a late summer release.
Keep it up with the models you have, I hope some are available. You do great work. Generally, curvy brunettes and redheads are the models I enjoy seeing.
Pandora, Maria, Molly, Kacie, Kayla Louise, etc. Lola! I'd love to see her in more scripted-type scenes like the Judge Jesse series or the Cheerleader stuff.
But if you're asking for new ones...maybe Freshie Juice? Perhaps get Sinn Sage in a catfight next to a food buffet a la WWE wrestling?
Potatoman-J said: It would be wonderful if you and Candy could maybe get Chloe Toy for some of your shoots as well. Everything BosunBob has done with her is magma hot.
I admire Chloe hugely. I think she is a real talent. Her star is riding very high at the mo, and she has written that she is focusing on generating content for her own store atm, and not looking for new producers to work with, so she may be less likely than some. But I agree she is a terrific talent and you never know in this business.

Thanks Myds. I will try and prioritise some of my unreleased scenes by the models you list..the good news is I have more content from literally all of them..including scripted type scenes with Lola. So it's good news all round.
The American models you mention will be less likely, not least because they may not get over to the UK often if at all. But I will check them out of course. You can never have too many options.
Scenario idea, it involves a guy too, his girlfriend is leaving for the office, in a tight suit and boyfriend is in an amateur drama group so he's asked a girl from the group to come round so they can rehearse a scene for a play they're putting on. It's a scene where he's been away for a few days and the other girl, whose in a prim looking button through dress and heels, is pleased to see him again.
Actual girlfriend has forgotten something and comes back into the room to catch boyfriend and girl from am dram on the sofa!
Girls get into a pie throwing, clothes ripping bitch fight, which ends up with them mud wrestling while boyfriend enjoys it!
It's always good to see you keeping the spirit of slapstick alive
In terms of other models Cleo Summers and Aston Wilde spring to mind - I think it's Candy that they have shot with previously.
Good to hear that there is more Kayla Louise planned - she has been a great addition in the past year.
You're well known in this community, and offer a wide variety of scenes from simple slapstick to the more x rated. I've no doubt that 2020 will be another good year for you
Hi Rev, had another scenario idea involving that outfit I got you, firstly, think ivy would look good in it, and she could be a kind of authority figure who keeps interrupting things for being silly. At the end, the other girls get their messy revenge and obliterate her with she'd loads of pies and anything else which us to hand!
