What's New Around 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. I have been a busy little foot-loving bee this past week. For some time now I have been tinkering around with different things with the site, namely the Video Clips section (including the actual clips) and the Columns Section. Video Clips Well, it only took me forever and a day to give up with the previous set up and go buy myself a new video program at Best Buy. I ended up getting Movie Edit Pro 12 for my PC. Now, I wasn't sure exactly what to get as I had a top of the line program in Final Cut Pro on my Macintosh. I looked at most of the programs at Best Buy thinking they might be novice and lacking in some features I might want later. After using the program for a couple of days, I have been satisfied with the purchase. It has made editing video clips a one computer process with none of the headache you are used to hearing me bitch about. I am cu

August - This -n- That

Abby (right) introduced me to Taylor, who is now a sole mate. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Well it is August and this summer seems like it just started yesterday. Where did the time go? Seems like I haven't done much of anything this summer, but yet it is creeping ever so close to being over. I arrived at these sediments a few weeks ago when I began booking as many models as I can into July for some much needed new content. Not that I didn't have plenty of content already shot, I just didn't want to let the summer pass with getting a bunch more. The first model I met with is featured on this week's update.  Abby and I had planned on doing some new photos when she moved into her new apartment. The day before the photos she asked me if I'd like to shoot her friend, Taylor . She told me she was a cute little blonde and I'd love her. She was right. So I

2007 Soles of Silk Design Contest Results

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
