A Look Back at 2009 on Soles of Silk

Image
Charlee debuted her lovely feet in 2009. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Just a few weeks ago it felt like the start of football season. And not too long before that it felt like the start of summer. Before that baseball season was just getting under way. And just a little before that I was debuting the then newest sole mate to the site for New Year's day, Keira . It's hard to believe that 2009 has come and gone so fast. I don't know if I was just that busy and it flew by, or I'm just getting older and don't remember stuff. Probably a bit of both. Hopefully I'm not forgetting too much, however, because this column will be quite bare. So I try to hurry along the best I can to remember all the highlights of the year 2009 on Soles of Silk. The site's first three model set was done in 2009 with Kimmie, Kellie, and Keira. New Models To start things o

Random End of the Year Notes - 2009

A little get together where a few of my models were also able to attend. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. In a few days it will be December and then shortly thereafter, it will 2010. This year has gone by pretty quickly. This past week, however, not so much. Before I get into some news and notes about the site, let me get into this real quick. Last week some of you may have noticed that the site update came about 12 hours later than usual. Here's why. On Monday I had about 25 friends come by for a Monday Night Football party to watch the Ravens play the Browns. Needless to say, I got pretty messed up - more than I have in a really long time. As you can see above, five of the site models made it to the party. Those models from left to right are: Kimmie , Mindee , Kellie , Cierra , and Kelsey .  Precious was supposed to make it, but had to cancel last minute.  Kellie's b

Treats, No Tricks this Halloween

Kayleigh wanted to pose on the day she turned 18. Who was I to argue? The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. This year for Halloween you won't have to worry about any kind of trickery - it's going to be all treats this year... and this is one place the saying, "trick or treat, smell my feet," actually holds true. Let me explain. On Monday, October 12 a coworker finally turned the big one, eight as in 18. Her name is Kayleigh and she has known about the site for some time. A number of the girls at work have posed for me and you know how girls can talk. Well, with this coworker's birthday being in the month of October, I asked her if she wanted to be my Halloween update. Kayleigh agreed and told me she was open to pose on her actual birthday. I was pumped. If you haven't done so yet, you can catch a glimpse of Kayleigh on this week's Coming Soon previe

Some 'Precious' News

Image
Precious expressed an interest to return to Soles of Silk. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. A couple of weeks ago while I was at work I was payed a visit by a friend and one of the site's sole mates. That sole mate was  Precious . Precious hasn't posed for the site since 2006. As with some others, some things in life came first and we weren't able to get together to do photos. Couple that with us losing touch for a bit of time and here it is three years later and I'm having a chat with her. During my conversation with Precious she informed me that she is willing and able to do some "foot stuff" again for the site. I smiled at the term "stuff" and told her that I was glad to hear that. Since it was a busy day at work, I didn't really get to chat with her too much, but I gave her my cell number and made sure I had her number in my cell. Since t

Mindee - Footography

Mindee has been modeling for quite a few new sets, which makes me quite happy! The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It's time to take a special look at another one of the site's sole mates. This time around, Mindee is up to bat with her size 8 feet. I've known Mindee for a number of years now. We met when she began working with me. Right away I thought she was a real sweet girl and we hit it off as friends. At the time I was not running Soles of Silk. A few years later, however, I was laying out my plans to do so and was thinking of girls that I knew who I could ask to pose. Mindee was one of those friends. Initially Mindee was reluctant to pose, claiming that her feet were ugly. Now I knew that she was either pulling my leg or she just didn't think of her feet in the way that someone like you or myself would. I had seen her feet and knew that her feet certainly were

Closing the Soles of Silk MySpace

Image
The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Over the weekend I closed the Soles of Silk MySpace page. I made an announcement on the forum over on Wu's Feet Links , but I wanted to make a statement here as well. When I first made the Soles of Silk MySpace page I really liked the interaction that it brought. Over its course, however, I will admit that I was liking it less and less for a number of reasons. Here are the main reasons why: About a year ago Carmen called me all upset because she had gotten an email from someone on MySpace that was included pretty much every curse word made and said that the person sending it was going to find her. Now Carmen never made a MySpace page for her foot modeling. This person was able to find her personal one and it understandably scared her. She did all the things like blocking the person and I even took her off my own friends list in case they found

Random Thoughts - August 2009

Cierra and I shot on one of the hottest days that I can remember to do this football set. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Man was it flippin' hot out this weekend! I found this out the hard way when Cierra and I took a trip downtown to do this year's Ravens themed set for the site. Now, before I have to hear about how you're team's better, just look above and think about Cierra's feet stuck in a pair of Converse All Stars and socks on a day that reached 97 degrees. Furthermore, we all know how much her feet can sweat when it's cold outside, let alone just under 100 degrees. Now who's really thinking about sweaty guys playing sports? So, what's on the horizon for Soles of Silk? Well, this week was supposed to have a new model shown in the coming soon previews, but with Monday actually being hotter than it was on Cierra's shoot on Sunday, we dec

Sweating with Cierra

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. After a cancelled set of photo shoot dates over the weekend I finally caught up with Cierra . We were supposed to get together Saturday night and do several sets and then again Sunday morning for a special themed one. She wasn't able to meet on Saturday and the forecast was calling for rain and storms all day on Sunday, so I said we will just find another day for that too. I talked to Cierra on Sunday and joked about how the rain only lasted through the morning when it was supposed to be an all day thing. She said that if I wanted to shoot Tuesday night, she was open and that if we wanted to, the upcoming Sunday she was available to do the other set too. I agreed and spent several hours tonight with one of the site's most popular models... and see her feet do their trademark sweating. Cierra's soles were soaked in sweat from the moment w

New Models on the Way

Cierra is one of many coworkers, and former coworker who have modeled for me. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. As many of you know, I don't hide from my foot fetish. Almost all my friends know I have one. Although I don't bring it up as a topic of conversation every chance I get, it does come up enough for it to be a regular topic of chat. Where I work I've been able to get a number of my co-workers to pose for me. Over the years I've worked with the following models found on this site: A'Kasjia , Abby , Amber , Autumn , Carmen , Cheri , Chloe , Cierra , Colleen , Kellie , Kelsey , Kimmie , Lauryn , Madison , Mindee , Precious , and Shayna . Now, not all of the girls currently work with me that are on that list, but a number of them do. Girls like Kellie are always talking to me about shoots she wants to do. In doing so, there have been girls who have overheard a

Week of the Fourth

Colleen will be making her debut next week. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Well, it is the week of the Fourth of July. This year is going by blazing fast. It's already been a month now since I turned 30, which seemed like last week. This week I've gotten some vacation time and have been keeping busy. This is why the site update is going up a day late her. I hit up Dorney Park yesterday with a bunch of friends. Being a roller coaster junkie, I usually hit up a few amusement parks each year. One thing I've noticed is that there are feet galore to be seen. The last few parks, however, I wasn't too happy with the views. Lots of girls had no nail polish on or had some majorly chipped polish. Yesterday, however, was different. There was lots of cute toes and soft soles on display. I saw every color and shade of polish that I could imagine. There was a big Asian populatio

Wendy - Footography

Image
Wendy has been a go to model for me, even before Soles of Silk was opened. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It is time to take another in depth look at one of the site's sole mates in what I've come to call a "footography." In the past we've looked at Madison , Kellie , Layla , and Cierra . Now I'd like to give another model some attention. She might not have 1,000 photos yet, but she's quickly on her way and sitting pretty with 858 and counting. This sole mate is none other than Wendy . Last week I posted an amazing set of Wendy that we did at a park. In it, she's sitting in front of a small dam, showing off her adorable soles that I've loved since I first saw them in college about 10 years ago now. Man, how time flies! When I first met Wendy all those years ago, she was a fellow classmate and artist. Dating Abby at the time and just coming in

Fun Sole Mate Facts, Part 2

Image
Madison currently holds the top spot for most photos on the site with 1,687. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Back in February 2007 I did a small column where I took a look at some useless, but fun facts about Soles of Silk's sole mate roster. I did things like average shoe size, biggest feet and much more. Here, a little more than two years later, I wanted to go back and do a new one with the larger model roster. Here are the stats this time around*: Number of Sole Mates : 54 Largest Shoe Size : 11 ( Molly ) Smallest Shoe Size : 4 ( Cierra ) Average Shoe Size : 7 (7.138 to be exact) Newest Sole Mate : Debbie D. Most Photos on Site : 1st - Madison (1,687), 2nd - Kellie  (1,151), 3rd - Layla (1,150), 4th - Cierra (1,053) Most Galleries on Site : 1st - Madison (26), 2nd - Kellie (20), 3rd (tied) - Layla, Cierra (18),  4th - Kimmie (15) Most Video Clips on Site : 1st -

Model Statuses 51-53: Wendy and Newcomers Jaylee & Briezzy

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. A lot of my emails and instant messages focus on questions concerning a particular model. People want to know if I have upcoming material of a favorite girl or if I'm still even shooting her. Fielding so many questions on a great deal of models, I've decided to do an update column over a few weeks talking about all the models on the site. This is the last of those columns covering: Wendy Last Update : Pastels Future Status : Certain Wendy has been regularly posing for me over the last few years. I recently met up with her and shot two sets that are not yet posted. I also have an older set remaining that smelly feet fans and fans of blue toenails with surely love. This month I also have plans to meet up with Wendy yet again and I am hoping that the weather is nice and we can get in a couple of sets outdoors.  Jaylee Austin Last Updat

Fielding so many questions on a great deal of models, I've decided to do an update column over the next few weeks talking about all the models on the site. Here is the fifth of those columns: Natalie Last Update : Shoe Swap w/ Bethany Future Status : Doubtful If I would have wrote this column last year Natalie's future status would have been possible or certain. But I'm not writing this a year ago, I'm writing it today. Today I can't even get a response from the contact methods I have. I'm hoping that when I get with Bethany to do some more photos I can ask her to see why Natalie hasn't been answering me about doing more photos.
