The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Only July 12, 2007 the last of the wallpaper designs were submitted for the first ever Soles of Silk Wallpaper Design Contest and I sent off the designs to be reviewed and judged by two of the site's sole mates. Those sole mates were none other than Abby and  Kellie . I had a handful of participants for this brand new contest and almost every one of them entered several designs each. Although only each person was only eligible for one prize, those people showed off their skills and passion for the three models they could chose from to design wallpapers with - Chloe , Layla , and Precious . I am sure each of those girls will be happy as ever to see themselves as the subject matter for their designs. After talking with Abby and Kellie about their favorite designs of the bunch, it was determined there was a tie for the second 3-month prize. Because o

Members, Turn In Your Entries

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. The first ever Soles of Silk Wallpaper Design Contest just got underway last week and already there has been a number of entries. I was shocked to see them come in so early as the deadline is Thursday, July 12. But it seems like people were eager to get their design skills showcased for a chance to win some membership time to the site. But one thing I want to stress to all of you current members is that this contest is ALSO for you. I had contacted BHE prior to running this and asked them if people with current memberships could either have free months placed into their re-occuring memberships, or for those one-time memberships, have them extended. I was told that would not be a problem, so I hope that all of you take some time to show me your skills before the July 12 deadline. Click on the banner above for more information. And good luck!

Upcoming Design Contest

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It has been some time since I held a contest on the site and with two recent fan wallpaper submissions to the site, I have decided to start holding regular design contests. Here is the basics of what I am doing. About every four to five weeks I will post a link to a folder on the site that will have three sub folders within it, each belonging to a different model. Each model's folder will have numerous photos inside along with basic information on her. Also in the master folder will be the site's logo and some basic information on the site. Each contest will have a certain time frame in which to create your designs of a wallpaper of a single model from that contest's folders. Multiple submissions will be allowed, although only one winning submission per designer will be allowed. When the time frame expires I will pull that folder and its

Spyware Downtime

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I've been on many computers that were full of more spyware than personal files. A little over a year ago, when I was still using my Mac (I loathed PC and swore I'd never have one), I just couldn't figure out how that much spyware could find its way onto someone's PC. Well, I got attacked by the spyware asshats on Tuesday, and man, I was so pissed I almost burned off the site folder and wiped the system. Here is how it happened: Being a foot fetish web site owner and a fan of female feet, I sometimes go all around the web and see what is happening in the world of feet. Well, I just so happened to fall into one of those link traps where you get nothing but link site upon link site coming up on your screen. When I got that all straight there was a window with what looked like a nice foot clip staring at me. Like a dumb ass, I clicked it and i

Celebrating 40 Models

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

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
