Tuesday's Shoot - Kaycee (New Model)

Image
Before 2014 began I had a vision to debut 10 new models on Soles of Silk . I thought it would be a neat way to celebrate the site being online for 10 years. Sadly, a number of potential new models have failed to come through, but over the last two weeks I've been lucky enough to have two of my personal friends pose for their first time. Last week it was Bobbie posing her size 8.5 feet - which you will see featured on the site this very week in her Fourth of July set. And today I shot the beautiful and super-sweet, Kaycee . I've known Kaycee for about a year and the term "super-sweet" doesn't even really do her justice. She's probably the nicest person I know - one of those people you can't ever see being mad at. In addition to that, she's also very quiet. For the longest time we would work together, exchange some small talk, but that would be about it. Recently, however, I've seen her opening up just a little bit more. When I made mention of S

Sunday's Shoot - Olivia

Image
Earlier this year I did an email exchange with Wu of Wu's Feetlinks . Over the years he asked me to do feature sets for his Feature Model section on almost an annual basis. This year's model was scheduled to be Olivia and she was so happy to be representing Soles of Silk this time around. And then the updates stopped at Wu's Feetlinks. At first, no one knew why. Did Wu retire? Did he lose his passion? Was he sick? Well, it took months, but we finally found out that Wu had passed away. The entire community was saddened and we wondered what would become of Wu's Feetlinks without the main man in charge. Thankfully BHE is tending to the site with the assistance of community members. I've been republishing the old interviews on the new Wu's Feetlinks Interviews Blog before I begin conducting new ones. Mommie Dearest is set to reprise her columns section, but one of my favorite sections sits in limbo - the Feature Model section. During the time prior to lear

Soles of Silk 10 Year Anniversary - 2007

Bethany (left) got her cousin Natalie to pose in 2007. 2007: Quick Glance Debuting Models:  (11) Ann , Autumn , Chrystine , Danielle , Delicious , Krystie , Lizzie , Natalie , Paige Noelle , Taylor , and Tiff Wu's Feetlinks Feature Gallery:   Kellie & Kimmie - Football Fun The twins Wu's Feature Gallery was the first to feature two girls, let alone sisters, or twins. 2007: The Year in Review So far 2005 has seen the most models make their debut at 18. But 2007 didn't do too bad having 11 make their way onto the site. In April, five models would actually debut consecutively: Natalie, Krystie, Danielle, Delicious, and Ann. In the April 11, 2007 column titled, "Celebrating 40 Models, I had this to say: "Every single model has been a pleasure to shoot. Whether it be someone like Madison , who I've photographed so many times that I'm still sitting on photos I did of her last year, or someone like Ann who has been on the site

Monday's Shoot - Bobbie (New Model)

Image
In the 10 years I've been running Soles of Silk I have shot mostly personal friends. Many of these friends were eager to pose, but not all of them. Some found reasons to why they didn't want to - just like Mindee when I began the site back in 2004. You all know her story and how she now currently has over 2,300 photos on the site. Well, t oday's model was like Mindee in that she claimed she hates having her photos taken and has so-so feeling about her feet. Her name is Bobbie .  Bobbie wasn't 18 in 2004 when I began this site, nor did I even know her that long ago. She turned 18 back in 2010 and I've asked her about posing off and on since that then. I never thought I'd get a chance to have her modeling her feet, but my luck changed.  About a month ago a group of us friends met at Chili's for dinner. Olivia was sitting between Bobbie and I while I was showing Olivia some of the Instagram ( @SolesofSilk ) comments on her photo posts. "Olivia, y

Sunday's Shoot - Ashlyn

Image
It's been a few weeks, but I finally got to pull out my camera again for a female willing to pull her feet out of her shoes Or is it boots? Or maybe knee high socks? Perhaps some well-worn Vans? Well, in today's case, it was all three. All year long I have been trying to book a shoot with Ashlyn . She posed for her first and only time (until today) back in mid-August of 2013 (see blog: " Sunday's Shoot - Ashlyn "). Back then she had red hair and now she has black. But one thing sure hasn't changed - she's a total sweetheart! Since neither of us are morning people we decided to meet up in the afternoon for her first shots of 2014. One of the location I wanted to use was about an hour drive. It's called Yards Park right by the National's stadium in Washington, D.C. Ever since her debut last year, Ashlyn has had an idea she's been wanting to do for a shoot. This location was perfect for it. More on that later. With a Nationals game scheduled

Soles of Silk's News & Notes - June 2014

Image
Hey everyone. It's been a little longer than usual since I last posted a blog. I want to let everyone know that all is well and I wanted bring you up to speed on what has been going on lately. All of the Soles of Silk updates have been right on time, it's just this blog that has been a little slow going during the last couple of weeks. Abby's Interview from 2006 has been added. What I've Been Busy Doing One of the biggest reasons you haven't seen me on here blogging as much is that I've been busy trying to establish the all new Wu's Feetlinks Interviews Blog . Years ago I was tasked by Wu, of Wu's Feetlinks , to take over doing his interviews. The plan was to do it with models, photographers and foot fetish personalities from around the web. Things never really got started, but with his untimely death, it is really something I want to make sure happens. At this time, I've gotten 20 of the 25 existing interviews slightly edited and rep
