Celebrating 40 Models

Image
Many people were excited to see Delicious posing for 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. Over the last five weeks Soles of Silk has debuted five new models. Those models, in order of appearance are: Natalie , Krystie ,  Danielle , Delicious , and Ann . It was the longest addition of brand new models since the site debuted, but that streak isn't what this column is about. The addition of those five models listed above has put the grand total of models on this site to 40. 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 all of a few hours, every shoot is one I treasure. I've said many times in the past, many of these girls are friends of mine, but those I didn't know before I did

The Basics - Reading & Writing

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I will be the first one to tell you that I am happy to see members and even non-members writing to me about what they like about Soles of Silk and what they want to see on the site. But then there are those e-mails that are just so far out there that they get annoying. One of those overly annoying things has been happening a LOT since I created a MySpace page for the site. That one annoying thing is the guys who write to me that they want to suck my toes and do all these other kinky things to me. Up until now I have always responded with a pleasant, "Sorry, you've mailed the Web master, not model-x, but I am glad you enjoyed model-x." But seriously, after getting about seven of those kinds of messages in one day on MySpace last week I got a little pissed and wrote a bulletin about the situation. Now some may argue that it is confusing that

New Arrivals & Upcoming Models

Natalie is Soles of Silk's newest addition to the model roster. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. This week marks the arrival of a new sole mate named Natalie . I met Natalie at a friend's Super Bowl party not too long ago. If you read her mini-profile on her model page, then you'll know that she is also Bethany's cousin. When Bethany introduced me to Natalie we made some small talk and the conversation led to the site and Bethany's pictures. I ended up asking Natalie if she'd like to pose, and although I did not get an answer immediately, I was in contact with her shortly thereafter and made plans to do a photo shoot with her for the site. Natalie was not the only girl I met at the party who is supposed to be modeling for the site, however. A girl who I was introduced to, who is the younger sister of two guys I knew growing up, approached me and said hello.

Fun Sole Mate Facts

Autumn is Soles of Silk's newest model. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Okay, so I am bored and I wanted to write a column that is both pointless, but a fun read at the same time. Pretty much everything you will read you can figure out on your own, but I've taken the liberty of doing the research, the calculations and above all, the time to write it down for everyone to read. With that said, here are some fun sole mate facts*: Number of Sole Mates : 35 Largest Shoe Size : 11,  Molly Smallest Shoe Size : 4, Cierra Average Shoe Size : 7 (6.98 to be exact) First to Pose for Site (photos) : Madison First to Pose for Site (videos) : Abby Newest Sole Mate : Autumn Most Photos on Site : 1st - Madison (796), 2nd - Kellie (661), 3rd - Kimmie (597), 4th - Layla (551) Most Galleries on Site : 1st - Madison (15), 2nd - Kellie (11), 3rd - Kimmie (10), 4th (tied) - Ci

Soles of Silk on MySpace

Image
The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Last week I was working on a new addition to Soles of Silk. You won't find this addition on the site, but rather on another popular site, MySpace . It seems like anyone and everyone has a MySpace now. And to think I made one a little more than a year ago when I was dating a girl who told me how great the site was. I think my MySpace sat there for a year without a single picture or bit of information placed on it. Still, I had people wanting to be my friend. In the here and now all my friends and people I've met online are making their own MySpace pages, some with killer designs and others, well... I won't get into those. It only seemed logical to make the move to have Soles of Silk on MySpace with its immense popularity. I've went and posted a handful of photos on the page as well as giving it a unique Soles of Silk color scheme with g

Carmen Update & Real Life Issues

Image
I hope you enjoyed the Christmas update featuring Molly, Bethany, Lauryn, and Madison. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday and enjoyed the Christmas 2006 feature set with Madison , Molly ,  Lauryn and Bethany . I saw a few people using the Christmas avatars too. Glad you liked them. The Christmas set marked the return of a model who hadn't had an update in a long time - Lauryn. She was next to impossible to chase down, but told me she will try her hardest to do some more sets with me soon. This brings me to another model who hasn't been seen on the site in some time - Carmen .  Carmen came home from being out of state a couple of months ago, but life has not allowed for a photo shoot yet. That, however, will not be the case much longer. I have made plans with Carmen to do the site's two year anniversary phot

More Photos of Lisa Tyler

Lisa Tyler is someone I am so glad I met and had the chance to shoot. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Before I had even posted Soles of Silk online I had to get a bunch of photos in the books to begin the site with. I had photographed a handful of models and one of those was Lisa Tyler . Lisa used to run the site Forever Feet and I admired her and her feet when I saw a feature model set she did on Wu's Feet Links . I contacted her and found that she was willing to model for Soles of Silk, even though I had nothing to show for the site online at the time. Now as most of you know, Soles of Silk combines the girl next door who has never modeled in her life, with the girl who models for a living, with those who even run their own foot fetish sites. But at the time I had very little experience working with someone who was used to doing modeling as a job. I was intimidated to say t

The Return of Andrea

Image
I always loved how flexible Andrea's toes were, and just how wrinkled those soles got. 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, years ago I had another foot photo web site called The 10 Little Piggies. I had more than 40 models on the site and also displayed my artwork on the female foot. One of those 40 models is making her Soles of Silk debut this week. That model is Andrea . Andrea and I grew up as next door neighbors. We used to play He-Man/She-Ra way back in our youth. As we grew up we still hung out here and there, but we did grow apart slightly. When I was in college and running The 10 Little Piggies, I was always asking my classmates and friends to pose for me. I had always wanted to ask Andrea, but wasn't sure how she would react. On one summer afternoon she was outside washing her father's truck, I believe, and I went for broke. I was a little ne

Carmen Comes Back?

Image
Carmen will be back doing new sets soon. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Maybe you saw some of my forum posts on the site forum lately or talked to me on instant messenger. But for those of you who haven't done either, there is some recent news that is sure to make a lot of people happy. The news is: Carmen has come home! Carmen moved months ago and I was not able to meet with her before she left to get in some photo shoots. I have had a ton of e-mails asking if Carmen was still modeling for the site and I had to explain the situation. People were a little bummed to say the least because Carmen has been one of the most popular models since she debuted on the site. And when she was the feature on Wu's Feet Links her popularity went through the roof! To date I've exchanged a number of e-mails with Carmen about some ideas I have for some sets I want to do with her. I a

Warm Weather Cram

I'm so happy to have Sara Swirls back on the site this week. It's been too long! The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It seems like the weather lately can't make up its mind on whether it wants to be cold or warm. Some days I've walked out in a jacket and then I go and get a little bit of a sun burn on my neck at the beach yesterday. Crazy stuff. But one thing is inevitable, the weather is going to get cold here in Maryland before long and that means I lose a lot of photo opportunities outdoors. So right now I am cramming in as many models, new and existing, before the winter sets in. This week marks a return of Sara Swirls , who hasn't had a gallery update in some time. I was able to meet with her recently and get a few sets in. It was great to have her back and those size 8's are still as tender as ever! Next week is the debut of Andrea , my former next door ne
