I am a member, but bookings have been "cold" for me lately. Also foot fetishist have been taken a lot of flack lately. I tried to open a foot fetish account and it was denied.
I am also a member of Germany's version of Model Mayhem called Model-kartei.de. I have have better success there.
Please do not try the GWC thing. Instead be honest with the models, explain your ideas (I share links to other works I want to experiment with), and ask if this would interest them. Being sneaky will only ruin your chances.

I think I'd heard rumors of reputable foot-photogs being unceremoniously "dumped" by mm... and I was only kidding about the GWC thing. I think it's important to be an honest person in general (and an admirable foot-fetish ambassador in particular). When you're a creep EVERY DUDE down the line suffers... it's like the Boy Scouts say, "Leave the site better than you found it".

I was able to confirm these things back around November of 2010.
MM policy changed when new ownership purchased the site. Foot Fetish was then considered grounds for disapproval even though there was nothing specific in the rules forbidding it.
Previous foot fetish accounts were grandfathered in and allowed to stay.
The MM argument was that MM is a privately owned company and had the right to discrimate however they chose and this was all within their right.
I posted a number of screen grabs confirming this stance and policy about 9-10 months ago. The thread ended up getting deleted because a couple of misinformed members got offended by the news and were providing false information contradictory to the truth.
Sadly the news I shared was the truth. And if anyone does not believe me, they can try to create a foot fetish profile on MM and find that it get's denied despite compliance with their rules.
Truth always prevails... it's a matter of whether one chooses to believe or keep the head in the sand. Sadly, one option deprives the head of air.
And I don't suggest being a GWC; it gives the legitimate photographers a bad name.

Something tells me if you use foot fetish they may turn it away, but if it is something like a foot photos then it may be seen as art, as it is a modeling website. I have been to the website before and I have seen lists such as great feet pictures. Something makes me think they will view that as modeling art as opposed to sex related. Who knows though, just my opinion.

Good to know and I hope others really feel the same way.

That is why I show my foot related work only on Flickr. My work is more documentary than fetish related, but feet are not considered objects of beauty by many as we know.
