In Their Words - Interview Section Improvements

Image
Cierra took part in the site's first ever, model interview. "I absolutely love Converse and I love doing sets that were my idea!" - Cierra The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. As some of you might have noticed with this update I have changed the layout of the Interviews section. This was done not only for design reasons, but because I wanted to begin showcasing follow up interviews, interviews conducted on other sites (like Wu's Feet Links ), and maybe even some future member generated interviews. At this point, I have titled all the initial interviews that appeared on the site as "introductory interviews," since most of the girls completed them immediately after their debut. Of course there were some other girls who took forever to do theirs (right Kelsey ?), but the same standard interview questions were sent to each model. Two of the models on the

Cierra Slides Past Madison as Most Photographed Model

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Since this site opened, one model had sat on top with the most photos of any of the others. That model was Madison . I say "was" because with this week's Baby Oiled Feet set, Cierra has slid past Madison's total of 1,832 photos with her 1,844. It's only 12 photos more, but more photos nonetheless. Both girls have 28 total sets as well. Truth be told, Cierra would have overtaken Madison's total months ago, but I decided to hold the several sets I had of Cierra's back. Cierra was unable to pose for a few months and I wanted to make sure all of her fans were getting at least a small taste of her little feet every so often. With her Baby Oil set now posted, I'm only sitting on one more set of hers, which is previewed below. It is a blueberry pancake and syrup set. We thought it would be a small nod to one of her early sets whe

2010 Soles of Silk Year in Review

Image
Mindee was a big part of 2010 on 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. When I worked for a newspaper a few years ago at the end of every year we'd pack our final issue with a bunch of year in review stuff. At first I hated it and thought it was a cheap way to fill space. Even though that's pretty much what it does, I also think sometimes it serves a purpose. If done correctly, they're great reflections on a year that was. In closing out 2010 and making way for 2011 on Soles of Silk, I wanted to take a look back at all the things that stood out to me. Time to take a look at the year that was 2010. Year Of Mindee Perhaps no other model on the site had a year like Mindee . It seemed like when Wu posted her Power Girl & Piggies feature set on his site,  Wu's Feet Links , people couldn't get enough of her. I already found her fan base to be considerable

2010 Soles of Silk Trivia Contest Results

Image
The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I was quite surprised by the lack of turn out for this year's trivia contest. In years past there were a good number of both member and non-member entries. This year only eight people entered. With seven prizes to be given out, I just went ahead and gave everyone at least one month memberships for bothering to enter. The two highest scores, I still awarded the three month prizes. I'm not sure if all you members think these contests are only for non-members, but if you do, they're not! This is why I put on the rules pages that it is open to both members and non-members. Giving free months to existing memberships is not a problem to do, so please feel free to enter these in the future. Below I went ahead and wrote all the correct answers below the questions, in case you were curious to what they were. Next to the answers, I also listed the per

Aliza's Removal

Image
Aliza was removed from the site shortly after her debut. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. In early November I debuted a new Asian model named Aliza - an 18 year old coworker and friend. Her photo sets, of which only one was posted, were really cute and fun. She was an instant hit with many of you based off the forum comments and emails I received. Sadly, Aliza is no longer on Soles of Silk. Last week I was laying down to go to sleep when I noticed that I had missed several calls from her. I sent her a text to see what she had called me about. It was late and I didn't want to wake her if she had went to bed. When I got her reply, I felt terrible, upset, mad, and a countless other feelings all at once. Basically, my stomach sank. Aliza told me that her father found out that she had posed for Soles of Silk and was really upset with her. Even though she is 18, she lives at home when
