Opening the Site's Official Blog

Image
Well, it's 2013 and all the cool kids seem to have blogs. Truth be told, at this time last year I reserved a Blogger.com  account using my old Google  profile from my Android phone. I had hoped to have Soles of Silk redesigned by now and the addition of the blog open with it, but that is not the case. Since I opened Soles of Silk , the site has contained something similar to a blog, if you will, in the Columns section (found inside the members area). With the first column coming on January 1, 2005, it's been a staple of the site since its opening only one week earlier. For all these years the Columns section has been something I've enjoyed doing. It's been a means for me to communicate with everyone who becomes a member. There however, lies the problem. There was no means of communicating through the Columns section with non-members. Probably the best way I've been able to keep in contact with the non-members has been through the site's forum . It's a p

The Fun of Multi-Model Shoots

I shot three sets with Emerald and Mindee together the day this one was done. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Shooting a multi-model is an experience to behold. Getting to see a beautiful barefoot girl before you is a treat, but when you add another model or two... or three, it's something you'll never forget. While coming up with poses isn't always easy, just having that many toes wiggling before you makes it all worth it. One of my biggest goals when doing the multi-model sets for this site is to have friends pose together. While many of the girls I shoot know each other in some fashion, getting ones who know each other well make a shoot memorable. From the time this site opened, there have been shoots with girls who are close with one another. Madison and Lauryn , who almost became sisters-in-law at the time, kicked off the trend with their Schoolgirl Stockings

2012 Soles of Silk Trivia Contest Results

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Well, another year has gone by and another trivia contest is in the books. The turn out wasn't as good as I expected with having advertised the hell out of it on the Soles of Silk Twitter page. Nevertheless, those of you who took part did pretty well overall. The two 3-month winners both scored a 99/100, so there were no entries this time around that had a perfect score. The five 1-month winners scored a 91, 83, 81, 74, and 71. Those who did not win were still awarded with the five early preview photos from sets of the following models: Olivia , Aliza , Jamie , Nikki , and Aspen . Now onto the correct answers of this year's questions. All answers appear in bold with a percentage of those who got each question correct. 1-Point Questions (5 Total Possible Points) 1. What model posed in a Wu's Feetlinks Feature Model set in 2012? KAYLEIGH (

The Ravens are on their way to the Super Bowl. Here is a little team spirit. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. The first month of 2013 is coming to an end. It's super cold outside, but my Baltimore Ravens are on their way to the Super Bowl - so all is well. So what's on the horizon for 2013 (other than a Ravens Super Bowl win)? I'll answer some of that below as I have a handful of items to go over for all of you here. June 2013 Wu's Feature Model Announced I've known about this for a couple of months now, but I was waiting for Wu to make it official. Soles of Silk will again have one if it's models featured in a Feature Model Gallery on Wu's Feet Links . In June 2013 Aspen will join the likes of: Carmen , Kimmie , Kellie , Madison , Cierra , Mindee , Ryan , and Kayleigh as a Wu's Feet Links Feature Model. Congratulations Aspen! We already have a re

Old Stuff - What Happened Last Year (Year in Review)

Kayleigh was the first model to pose her feet for some new sets in 2012. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. So here we are. We made it past December 21 without the world ending. That's a good thing because I shot so much content in 2012 that I have yet to share with you. There are some great plans for 2013's future, but we're not focusing on that right now. What I want to do, is take a look at is some of the highlights of the previous year. So here it is, month by month, some of my favorite moments and highlights of 2012: January The year started off slow with Kayleigh posing for a couple of new sets including her Wine Bottles and Bedtime Book sets. Much like this year's contest, there was not many entries until the final moments of the Soles of Silk Trivia Contest. Wendy and I found some really neat looking spots to shoot some new sets. February Wendy posed
