I first met Mona Lisa through the internet around 2005, at the time she has a profile on One Model Place, and I saw the bottom pic and was instantly blown away.
Well, I just couldn’t believe that arches like that could exist, so I contacted her right away, and was beyond thrilled to hear back from her. I told her that even though I’m from New York, I visit California all the time and would be interested in shooting with her while there. She seemed agreeable and after exchanging several email notes, we decided to chat by phone but then she just went AWOL. I kept leaving tags and comments of her profile to no avail, so I eventually figured she was no longer interested.
She finally wrote back to me in early 2008 and told me that she had lost her password for her profile, and that she was still interested in shooting with me. I gave her my number, not expecting much from her by then, and went about my business as usual. I was in a hotel room in South Carolina that summer, waiting to do a shoot with sweet Leah G (http://feetfair.com/free/covers/cover349.html) when Mona Lisa finally called me. We spoke briefly because Leah showed up in the middle of the conversation, but I managed to ask her if she has ever done any foot fetish modeling, to which she replied, “No, but I do have a lot of experience giving men pleasure with my feet.” Well that just about blew my top, but since I had work to do, I had to keep it together and do my shoot.
When 2009 rolled around, I had a late spring trip planned to southern California, so I texted Mona, and we booked a date. I sensed that she seemed ambivalent about meeting and working with me, so I asked if there was anything I could do to make her feel at ease. She brightened at this prospect and asked if I would be cool driving to her house and shooting there, and if I minded if her b/f hung around. I agreed as long as the b/f wasn’t on top of us while we worked, and didn’t disrupt us at all. Mona lives about 3 hours from where I was staying but once I go there, I knew that my perseverance had paid off. Her b/f turned out to be a cool guy, but not at all into feet (what a waste), and he let us to our own devices while he worked around the house. While we worked, I reminded Mona about our first phone conversation and her “giving men pleasure with my feet” comment. She then told me that she used to strip in her younger days, and that many clients were always propositioning her for foot sessions. Well it turns out that the guys that wanted the sessions were all pretty submissive, and would always ask for painful treatment, such as trampling and ball busting. At this point I have to say that Mona is a sweet and gentle lady, and the thought of hurting people, even if they requested it, really put her off. I had a good laugh with her stories and reassured her that I’ve never been submissive in the least, but she also told me she had initial reservations as to why a slick New York photographer like me would want to work with an “old lady” as herself. I explained to her that in the world of foot fetishism, great feet trump all else, at least in my humble view, and that I would rather work with her any day of the week, over younger models with average feet.
The rest, as they say, is history. Mona Lisa has become a true legend in our genre, still has the highest arches of any model I have ever worked with, and if any of you know anything about Feet Fair, you know that I price high arched models above all others. Last January, when I visited southern California, I didn’t know I was going to be closing down The Fair by the end of the year, but I already sensed that the end was near, so I booked her for a whole day, not knowing if we’ll ever shoot again. The next time I’m in SoCal, I’ll be sure to contact her for private photo sessions, but because Mona is a business owner, she’s notoriously hard to pin down. Earlier this year, I nominated Mona Lisa for the Wu Hall of Fame, knowing full well that the other Feet Fair nominee (Little Dee) was a shoe-in (lol) to get in. I was surprised that Mona didn’t make it, because judging by the amount of fan mail that she has received over the years, not to mention clip and DVD sales, Mona has been my most popular model by a good margin. But what do I know, right?
I wish you guys could see what a sweet and humble lady Mona Lisa is, in spite of being one of the hottest women I have ever known; I consider myself privileged that she chose to work with me since as far as I know, she has never entertained doing foot modeling for any other photographer.
Anyway, since Feet Fair has gone away, here are some of my favorite shots of her for those of you who never got around to joining the site, enjoy.

Certainly one of your most well known models, for a good reason. I always love seeing her updates. And those white/black stockings look really cool.

If ever a model deserved a tribute it's Mona Lisa!!! One of the all time greats and she set a standard for arches that can never be beat! I mean I have never seen a model that even comes close when it comes to arches!
