Can you imagine if we were able to get some of the old models out of retirement on Instagram? I'd think it'd be a viable option as many left because of the cost and effort associated with maintaining sites 5-6 years ago. I'd pay for a cell phone pic of Tina Marie's arches any day!

I'm sure Instagram isn't the only option, either.

I really hate instagram. They ruin pictures. So it wouldnt be worth it. Maybe a tumblr page. I hate tumblr too, but at least they don't ruin pictures the way instagram does.
Posted by GQguy (Member # 16534) on :
Either freaking way. Just imagine getting all the old greats back with minimal effort on their part to post pics. Back then they had to buy special cameras at a whopping 1.5MP and we space to post their pics. Now there's none of that. Now is a great time for them to casually get back into it.

Or they could enter a mutual beneficial contract with a professional photographer who can share the content and promote them, at the same time taking much better quality photos than grainy foot selfies in a dimly lit bedroom..these girls deserve more than just social media status.

I'd rather see the models retain agency over their own content. I believe that's the central point of GQGuy's initial post.

Hmmm despite all of these women having had sites/pose for sites in the past...all of them decided to make their return via Instagram...with a combined followership of 8800 followers for 3 women! Very interesting.
Anyway...I hope to see the trend continue. And if/when they sell sets...I'll be on board. It's kinda funny to think that it's likely that at least a few of those old great models have instagrams/flickr/twitter/ect ect. I'm sure many of them never stopped snapping shots. Funny....whatever grainy camera they used back then certainly worked for many of us who are still in love with them.

But wait, I thought the whole point of social media was to get FREE stuff? I agree with this statement though, they should continue to take quality images and sexy content for sale instead of flooding the market with TOO much free material anyway.

I've noticed IG enables the creation of new foot girls - or "civilian" girls to become aware of their feet altogether...
They'll post some photos of their feet - at the pool, post pedicure, whatever....And tag it with #foot #footfetish #footmodel or similar, and will begin getting praise for them from other IG users.
Then, they'll begin posting them more and more, even creating dedicated foot IG accounts, or selling items, or even getting into foot sessions/photo sessions. I've seen that quite a few times in fact.
I appreciate it in the fact that it's bringing everyday "civilian" girls into the foot world, but do agree that many of the photos are of crap quality.
The thing I cannot STAND is the IG accounts that just re-post photos from other users. I prefer seeing the content directly from the models/photographers/stores/etc, NOT the re-posted accounts.
Posted by NorcalfeetStudios (Member # 732) on :
Very true Sonoma1, it's funny though when these girls figure out how much money they can make though modeling for a paysite or selling their stuff to their subs..suddenly they post less really good free stuff and more quick "after shower or pedi" pics instead to give users a quick view. I see it all the time on Facebook and Twitter.

And that's it! Pay sites reflect the tastes of the photographer. His angles. His preference in models ect.
But on Instagram or what have you social media...I can pick my model based on her feet(should be the only consideration IMHO) interact with her which is a thrill in and of itself AND I can get pics EXACTLY the way I like them for a far cheaper cost than a subscription. And you build a relationship without any middle man.
How many of us subscribe just because of one model set. I know that when a certain photog invites back a certain high arched model I'm in. Why wait on him when I can go to the source? It's a beautiful thing. Wu's contribution section used to be a religious thing every Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday night...but that's tough to compete with a feed of pics that dates by the minute. Not to mention randomly searching #higharch or #higharches.
The market acts in interesting ways. Who knows?

You certainly are in the minority on that one. What's funny is, someone with your "abilities" to pick up women as you have claimed, why would you waste your time on the internet begging for free photos and not go out and take your own in real life like some of the rest of us did?

Initially, sure. But after seeing all that a particular site has to offer, in my experience, at least, I develop a tangible appreciation and trust for the work the photographer is doing. It's not just the models, it's the aesthetic.
I'm not sure that experience is available via Instagram. But that doesn't mean there's no place for Instagram (or other sites like it), either.

Hmmm funny?
Just got out of a 4 year relationship and JUST moved into a new town(haven't even spent the night at my new place). I've thought about it. My issue isn't the ladies.... it's the feet. There's no way to target a pretty foot save for ads and such. Even then my "charm" would be for naught. I'm good at getting laid... not taking foot photos. Which is incongruent with who I am and what I do for a living. We'll see though. ... when I hook up with a chic with feet worth showing off I'll snap some shots.

Can't wait to see what you come up with, all you have to do is focus that machismo in the direction of foot scoring and you'll have it made. BTW ,why would that be incongruous with what you do? I would argue they have no mutual exclusion.

@Mommie. I'm busy glad to see you guys are still snapping shots. I mentioned to the follower count to show that you guys are quite popular... perhaps even a greater following than yesteryear.
And I totally agree about the intimacy part. It's pretty cool when you not only get to connect a face with the screen name but also a life style. I get the feeling alot of models assume we're all just basement dwelling nerds and social media allows us to confirm our dispel that assumption.
Anyway I noticed a very cool trend of models coming back in a casual manner and I think it's great. That's what the thread was about.

A little biased here, but since this site is designed to do one thing and we're here now, mostly...I encourage those models to post here.

That's the thing. I'm willing to bet that she's on social media. And I'm willing to bet that if she does have an Instagram or twitter there's at least one pic of her feet on it. Funny right? Hiding in plain view.

Are you in contact with her?
That's kind of my point. She wouldn't be taking pics seriously...it'd be just for fun. I'm speculating but I'm pretty sure that she has a social media account somewhere...even if it's Facebook. And if she's on Instagram she likely has a foot shot...it's just the thing to do. Most women on Instagram have some sort of shoe/foot pic.....that's what I'm referring to at a minimum. Some love on that one pic could a) cause her to make her page private b) cause her to post a couple more. On the other end of the spectrum would be a page with 100's of photos we're unaware of. I doubt that though.

Devonne's ex-husband used to still post here after they split up a number of years ago. Often times it's a man behind the scenes who is the one directing the model and producing the content. She did have some really nice feet; one of my favorites.

Very true, I have also found this to be the case many times from my experience in the production industry. Posted by GQguy (Member # 16534) on :
Male sexuality is interesting. There are plenty of younger/newer models with great feet...yet years later we still long for models that are in their 40's and 50's.
I'm not sure what it is...I think it was the timing. A time when embracing my foot fetish was so fresh...hence the imprint. But I don't know! My first girl friend indulged my foot fetish. While I'd still love to get her feet(I could if I really wanted a married woman's feet) she's my age at 32 and I'm not attracted to her anymore despite being a conventionally attractive woman. So perhaps the timing hypothesis is off. I'll just chalk this infatuation to "je ne sais quoi".

i have seen sexy michelle, she's almost 50 now and looks like it despite her body being in good shape
some of you mentioned devonne, nobody was a bigger fan of hers than me i have over 2000 of her pics and still look at them a couple times a month
i don't know the whole story, but i got the impression her foot guy husband dumped her for another girl basically abandoning her and their children which is why their website ended in 2008, 9 times out of 10 these girls stop when they are no longer with a foot guy
she married an older guy last year, i stalked her ... err i mean "found" her on facebook and there are a couple pics of her in flip flops and sandals where you can see her feet
i thought about messaging her a couple times but like i said if she's not with a foot guy anymore i don't see her doing it, not to mention she would probably be pretty creeped out by me messaging her when she has completely moved on from that part of her life but if anybody has an idea on how to make her come back i'd love to hear it
as for how devonne currently looks, i'd say as good as ever
she once again has long dark hair, during the last few years of her website she had short blonde hair which in all honestly looked awful, maybe that played a part in the end of her marriage
she is also clearly heavier but in a good way, i think her body is more filled out now while before you could argue it was a bit too small
edit: i'm not too familiar with instagram but i just found her on there, her page is private
This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Thanks man.

Good question man. Her page is on private AND she's married now. If she were single I'd just follow her page and leave a bunch of compliments. Then send her a DM sparking a convo. The beauty about Instagram is that she can look at your profile and see that you're not some weirdo. She can see what you look like, your friends even the girls you chill with ect.
I've been surprised at how receptive different women have been to a direct message. Even with her page being private I'd still send a follow request....and love her photos once she accepted me. I wouldn't leave any compliments and if I did I'd keep them tame "nice!" "Cool!". And when the opportunity struck start a convo.
With everyone having a camera phone and the ease of posting pics online there need not be a boyfriend/husband foot fetishist driving her foot centric Instagram. But the attention they'd receive can be fun.
I don't know....what do you think?
Posted by NorcalfeetStudios (Member # 732) on :
I'd say leave these models who left the scene to remain in their own privacy. If they don't respond to a friendly message from a fan or two who thinks they should come back, it's not cool to hound them and bother them. They are not taking pictures right now for a reason or a multitude of reasons. (Retirement or Disinterest) and we as her friends and fans should respect that.
There's plenty of fish in the sea, trust me! There's models I want back badly from the day I personally shot and there's no way to go back there without looking like a fool or a desperate idiot by bothering them on social media about it.

Here's something a foot model friend of mine posted today in fact, reinforcing the facts of social media and the typical clientele there. I'm sure many other of her girlfriends doing the same thing would say the same thing.
What she wrote is likely colored by her experience. I can't dismiss that, even if I might quibble with how she said it.
Of course, if she viewed the foot fetish thing as a series of transactions before dealing with trolls and/or unappreciative dicks...well, that's more troubling.

if anybody can somehow get her out of retirement you would officially be the coolest guy in the world in my book, but i think norcal is right, she's moved on
Yeah specifically....I'd agree. Friendship goes a long way though. But I wouldn't try following her until you had a pretty decent profile yourself.

This is the position where established webmasters like myself or anyone else can use their portfolio and websites as leverage to score these girls that seem so un-attainable to you guys.

Retirement or not, maybe if someone legit enough were to ask for one more set as a contribution set she MIGHT think about it eh?

That's why the webmasters post and interact here, it's the same exact thing. The funny thing is, alot of your instagram "girls" are actually guys with alot of pics. At least with websites you get the real deal, quality well lit photography and FACES. Posted by Galactic_Gambit (Member # 47229) on :
Hmm, interesting. You seem to have all the answers. So tell me, if they are guys explain to me how I get custom videos and pics if the girls???????

NorCal is saying that tons of IG pages are just people (males) re-posting (or re-"tweeting" if you will) photos they found online and/or from girls they found on Insta.
If you search #footfetish on IG, most tags are just people re-posting existing content versus active fetish models posting their own stuff.
I'm not saying that's right or wrong - that's just the truth.
Obviously, there is great talent on Instagram from actual foot girls/first-hand users, including 100% non-foot fetish girls, who post feet photos, see a lot of traction from their posts and like the attention/fan fare and engage their followers with more of it...
But saying you've gotten custom content from a IG user you message back and forth with...BFD. Anyone can do that. You didn't shoot it or meet the girl in person...
My 2 cents at least...

That's really going to chap the guys' hide... Suddenly, he felt less important. On the other hand, like they say in the "car business"...there's an ass for every seat, meaning everyone plays their own part in this community somewhere. If he's having fun that's great!

I absolutely agree that collecting custom content via the Internet isn't the same as shooting the footography yourself. I don't think it's necessary to disparage the former in order to praise the latter though.

What WE'RE saying is that we're actually interacting with these women. Phone numbers, conversations ect ect. No web master can provide that. And if they can...shoot I'll sign up! IG removes the barrier of the web master and allows us to interact one on one with these women. If we're boring, they'll ignore us. If we're creepy, theyll block us. And if we're particularly interesting or good looking, we can create a friendship. Honestly after you get these women' numbers, feet pics becomes sooooo secondary. Why get feet pics when you can flirt back and forth and talk about the prospect of meeting up. Who cares about feet pics when they hit you up to see how your day went?
And it's very validating....getting attention from the same women you adored for years. Not to mention the new talent...vetted not for their beauty or availability as models...but solely because they have beautiful feet. It's a pretty sweet deal and it's only growing. I haven't looked at the contribution page in a while. My 24/7 updated IG feed is my fix.

Agreed. Well said.

Why would you need the Internet to get phone numbers from girls you will never meet in real life anyway? Knowing the nature of some people in this community and the internet as whole, there's no way I or any other like-minded webmaster would open up his models to that can of worms. Talk about personal info security breach..If some chick online is that stupid to give her personal info out to a random stranger online then she deserves whatever happens. My brain can't even compute the reasoning behind asking for numbers or giving them..wow! Posted by GQguy (Member # 16534) on :

And that's perfectly ok!
And that's exactly it! Through IG we're seen as people. Not just a credit card number and one subscription. Relationships can be built that are more than just "can I see your feet" and "pay me". That's the beauty of it. Hard drive is FULL of picture content spanning at least a decade. Being able to fulfill picture request from models you drooled over growing up...now that's a rush!

I'm on IG as well under the bluetoelover handle and am starting to be addicted to it as well. GQ nails it fellas. Although I do understand NorCal's points too, websites DO offer HQ pics that for the most part simply don't exist on IG. Not saying they DON'T exist but out of the 100 models I follow on IG I'd say about 20 of them have some high quality pics on there profile.
But like GQ says, you interact directly with the model, you don't have to ask a question/make comment to the webmaster in the hopes that he relays the message. IG literally cuts out the middle man. That's the beauty of it.

The question wasn't quite answered however, I mean, why does someone with 1,000 pickup stories and who names himself "GQ" need random women's #'rs from Instagram whom he'll never meet? Can't you just get those in real life? Seems like a waste of time or is it perhaps the only way?
