As Sherlock Holmes used to say, “The game’s afoot, Watson!”
In the September 15th blog posting about Annabelle Rogers, Steve commented about Annabelle wearing shoes throughout the shoot. This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten comments, letter and emails about the topic of shoes vs. bare feet. It’s been one of the top five topics for at least 17 years, along with tattoos, toys, bushy pussies and pregnancy. In the polls we’ve run about shoes versus bare feet, the voting is almost always split down the middle. I did one recently on Twitter and the result was 56% for heels and 44% for bare feet. I’d also like to add that we generally pass along feedback about certain topics to our studio, and the shoes versus bare feet has been one of them for years. The following two emails from the early ’00s are perfect examples.
“I subscribe to Kerry Marie as well and she has beautiful feet. Yet every single picture has her wearing some kind of slip-on shoe, even on her back in a bed or on a couch. They distract from the rest of her and need to go. I’m not a foot fetishist, but I love a nice pair of them. Sure, the legs look better in the shoes when they are standing but not lying down or on all fours or on their stomach. I’m suggesting use the shoes for the standing shots, but lose them when lying or doggy-style shots. I’m willing to bet a lot of other members feel this way.”–M.G.
“Although I don’t consider myself as having a kink for them, I most assuredly have a healthy, lustful attraction for a nice pair of high heels on their pretty feet.”–X.D.
As Dave says, “It’s impossible to make everyone happy with this one. The best thing to do is have a combination of both.”

Renee Ross: she's got sole.
The diversity of opinions in the world of SCORE and Voluptuous never ceases to impress me. Some of the feedback we get is incredibly detailed. Even though we can’t possibly fulfill every wish, I still appreciate the interest and the motivation of the guys and gals who take the time to connect, especially these days when so much competes for our attention on a daily basis. I mean, I have a satellite TV subscription to a zillion channels and a subscription to a newspaper and several mags and I never mail these people any comments, opinions or feedback even though I’ve thought about it.
One of the bigger topics over the years that’s still going strong here is the bare feet vs heels issue. One of our regulars who calls himself “The Feetosopher” lives in Italy and is a prolific DVD buyer. He’s into bare feet and big tits. This is one of his more recent letters from the “Scorecard” reader forum in SCORELAND. He knows what he likes and even takes a statistical approach to the subject.
Melissa Mandlikova: she has nice buns, not bunions.
“Out of 106 full layouts you featured in 13 issues of Voluptuous in 2009, just 6 (I mean SIX!) included at least one (but often just one) picture in which the model’s bare feet were fully visible. This is less than 6% of the total number of layouts versus 20-30% in the 1997-2003 period even in the darkest period (2004-2008) you had never dipped below 9% of the total number of layouts. According to the poll you ran on SCORELAND, 23% of respondents like both boobs and feet in the layouts, and an additional 25% likes a mix (some boob-only layouts, some boob-and-feet layouts), it is quite apparent that you systematically disappoint at least 23% of them.”
The counterpointers have written that foot fans should stick to Leg Sex if they love feet that much. But The Feetosopher is a guy who likes to see the shoeless feet of busty girls, not only the feet of the more slinky, less curvy girls. I can relate because I like feet a lot myself although I’m a boob fan first. (I look at boobs first, feet and legs second, face third, ass fourth.) It’s just a fact that when a photographer is shooting a layout of a big-boobed girl, he’s got to think about her chest and often get close-up, not focus on her feet whether she is wearing shoes or not, and that means that a good portion of her legs and feet are not going to be in the picture. Otherwise, every photo would be a full-body shot.
My sole opinion about shoes is that if the model is going to wear her shoes throughout a layout and never kick them off, the shoes gotta be high, wild-looking and show a lot of toe cleavage. That’s why the girls wear what they wear at clubs. Sally Secretary shoes and low heels don’t cut it at all for me in a men’s mag pictorial or video. If that makes me an arch heel, so be it. I think we’ll still be dragging our feet about this topic ten years from now. Maybe one day, there will be a happy medium. Unless the boot crowd gains greater support. And we still have the ass, bush and pussy crowd to negotiate with.
F.C. gets the final word today: “Even if a man does not have a foot fetish, we like to see a woman’s feet. Feet are as expressive as hands, especially in the hardcore layouts and video. According to some American marketing research I read, six out of every ten men pay attention to women’s feet when we see an attractive girl in the street, and we like kissing and sucking our lover’s toes when we are having sex. You’ll notice some of your competitors go well out of their way to show the models’ feet. Yes, I know I can always buy your fine Leg Sex mags and DVD’s and I do own a few of them. But why do I have to choose between skinny-ass/small-titted babes in Leg Sex stuff or beautiful girls with big gazongas but no feet? Why can’t I have both big tits and feet?”
When you think of Terry Nova, feet don't come to mind.

So I’m watching the bonus footage from the new XXX feature movie Mamazon, and suddenly my cock is standing at attention because Rachel Love, a hot little blonde with big, natural tits hanging out, is smoking a cigarette while being interviewed. So the next thing I do is run back to the video editing room and ask, “Do we have any more footage of that?” Turns out that we did, and one of the video editors whipped up the following clip. Now, we can get into a very long discussion about the smoking fetish, and I invite you to share your thoughts. Me? I’m anti-smoking but pro-hot-chick-smoking-so-I-can-jack-to-it. And when it comes to smoking, everyone has an opinion. You probably have one already. But can I ask you to do one thing while watching this clip? Listen to your cock.
