Just wanted to make a post saying thank you for all of your support and friendships over the first 10 years of the site's existence. Today, 10 years ago, Soles of Silk made its debut on the internet and it's been a fun ride ever since.
All year long I've been doing some things to celebrate and now that everything has been published (minus a couple of interviews coming with this week's update on the site), I wanted to go ahead and do a post here on the Wu's Feet Links forum.
This place has been amazing to me and my models since I began. My only regret is not having Wu around during this milestone for the site because his kindness and promotion on this site was one of the biggest reasons for the success I had. He has been missed!
On the Soles of Silk Blog I have been doing all kind of retrospective blogs on years past. If you've been checking out Soles of Silk since 2004, you might find these a neat stroll down memory lane. If you only found my site recently, you can see some of my humble beginnings. It was really fun to go back and look at how things went each year. And don't even ask me how hard it was trying to pick my favorite sets from each year. I'm sure if you asked me to do it all over again, it probably wouldn't come out the same. I really debated a lot of the selections in my head doing these.
Anyhow, here are the different blog pieces that were part of the Soles of Silk 10 Year Anniversary Series:
I hope you enjoy taking a look at some of those, or all of those blog pieces. Be sure to check out the "A Thank You" entry because it includes 84 free Soles of Silk Celebrating 10 Year avatars - one of every model who has appeared on Soles of Silk. And speaking of that, if you haven't gotten a chance to check out the latest Soles of Silk contribution here on Wu's, check out the link below as I recently submitted a photo of each model on the site for everyone to enjoy!
Thanks again everyone and I'd love to hear your thoughts. What were some of your favorite sets, models, or memories?
Patrick

A huge congrats Patrick!! Man thanks for posting these year in reviews. I'd forgotten ALL about Carmen...
WOW... Posted by archadmirer (Member # 3142) on :
Thank you Patrick, I've enjoyed your contributions thoroughly! One I particularly savored was Ryan. All of your models have their charms, but good gracious she was a dime in all regards... Thanks for helping her debut.

As for my favorites--- ABBY, the twins, Natalie, Carmen, Ryan, etc. etc. .... too many to mention!

I'm going to have to go count how many models I've shot as well I lost count somewhere in the 70's 5 years ago lol. My 10 year will be 2016.. Amazing how fast time flies.

Everyone,
Thanks for the compliments and for being with me all these years. What started out as my hobby and passion has grown into more than I could have imagined. And NorCal, sites like ours are a labor of love and may 2016 be a kick ass year for you!

Congratulations on 10 years. Not many know the time & dedication and sometimes the blood, sweat & tears it takes to maintain a website for so long. May you & SOS have many more years of bringing pleasure to us all!

How did you know about the blood, sweat & tears?
Blood - Rachel DD decided to shave her legs prior to her Zombie pajamas shoot and it wouldn't stop bleeding!
Sweat - All the times my hands and face have been covered in the sweat of my foot models - namely, Cierra, Madison, and Mindee.
Tears - The few tickling shoots I did where the girls were crying in laughter.
Yeah, you were right about those. LOL... In all seriousness though, thanks man.

Oh man so many sets I can think that have been amazing. Granted my choices have bias since I think messy is sexy. The muddy sets like Marcy's and some sets you did featuring two models. The paint set plentiful in blue done by either Kimmie or Kellie. Mindee's pudding and wafer set. Jamie's beach sets and that one picture making good use of a strawberry cream pie. A few others showing great food coverage. How you keep your composure being around them I don't see how.

When did I say I keep my composure? LOL... Just kidding. But yeah, I couldn't tell you how many times one of the girls would teasingly say, "Would you lick this off my feet if I let you?" Many of them like to tease.

Patrick, you are a real asset to this site and the foot community as a whole.
Looking back, I gotta say that my favorite 2 sets are both with Mindee wearing sheer, nude pantyhose. As a nylon lover, I have stroked myself to those pictures numerous times. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Thanks! Did you happen to see what set Mindee has coming up for next week's update? You just might want to check it out if you enjoyed her nude pantyhose set that much.
