Aliza's Removal

Image
Aliza was removed from the site shortly after her debut. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. In early November I debuted a new Asian model named Aliza - an 18 year old coworker and friend. Her photo sets, of which only one was posted, were really cute and fun. She was an instant hit with many of you based off the forum comments and emails I received. Sadly, Aliza is no longer on Soles of Silk. Last week I was laying down to go to sleep when I noticed that I had missed several calls from her. I sent her a text to see what she had called me about. It was late and I didn't want to wake her if she had went to bed. When I got her reply, I felt terrible, upset, mad, and a countless other feelings all at once. Basically, my stomach sank. Aliza told me that her father found out that she had posed for Soles of Silk and was really upset with her. Even though she is 18, she lives at home when

An Asian Sensation

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I am so excited about this coming Sunday. I am adding yet another 18 year old to the site named Aliza . This new model just turned 18 less than a week ago and has been excited to pose for me for quite some time. And by the title, you might have figured out that she is Asian. I first met this friend when she was hired at work. She was 17 at the time and worked in the same area I did. I trained her and she quickly became friends with some of the other girls at work - a few like Kellie , Kayleigh , Charlee , Katie , and Jamie - either had already posed for me, or since have. They asked her if she was going to pose when she turned 18 - pretty much like they do to all the girls they become friends with. Yes, they like posing for the site and tell the new girls they should too. I, of course, always interject with the, "when you turn 18, you can." At fi

Soles of Silk Wallpaper 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. What started out looking to be another slow Design Contest turned out to be quite good. The first time I ran a Wallpaper Design contest there were 25 entries submitted. With the popularity from that first one, the next one I thought would go over big. I was wrong and the second one only saw nine total entries sent in. I really thought the turn out would be closer to the second contest this time around too, but with some last minute submissions, the total ended up matching that of the first contest at 25. I must say I was quite pleased with the diversity of the model selection, the artwork itself, and the creativity that went into them designs. Not liking to be the one to judge these contests, I once again asked two of the sole mates to do it for me. I would only have served as a tie breaker if they're scoring resulted in ties. That didn't happen

The Good & Bad of August 2010

Jamie posed for this set in our mutual friend's bobble head room - yes, an entire room. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Good: I got in two more photo shoots with Jamie - including a comic book fan girl set follow up to Mindee's Piggies & Power Girl set that was featured at Wu's Feet Links and a bobble head themed set done in a mutual friend's bobble head room with more than 850 bobble heads. Bad: Jamie left for school at the end of last week and is now over three hours away. Good thing I got about six sets of her to tie me over until I see her next. Good: I should be having two brand new models posing within the next two weeks. One is the younger sister of a friend of mine who pasted away during our senior year of high school in 1997. The other is a girl who attended the same high school as me - someone who I always thought was gorgeous, and who is also a

Jaylee Austin (left) & Layla are only one set of relatives who have modeled for the site. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I just got myself an HTC Evo 4g phone last week and downloaded a few apps for it. A couple of them were of the trivia and useless fact variety. I thought some of the facts were neat, so I thought I'd come up with 25 facts about the Soles of Silk models to share with all of you. 1. Although Madison is currently in the lead with having the most photos on the site at 1,832, the site's second place model, Cierra , is 117 photos behind (1,715), but has three sets waiting to be posted. Madison has been MIA since meeting her new boyfriend and has no photos waiting to be posted. So it looks like Cierra will easily slide into first soon. 2. These girls are related to one another in the following manner: Bethany & Natalie (cousins), Jaylee Ausin & L
