You really can take things too far, no matter how good they are. As difficult as it may be to believe, it is true with feet, just like anything else.
I took the day off from work to attend to some foot matters. One thing lead to another and before I knew it, the entire day (and now evening) had been completely and totally absorbed by FEET and foot related matters.
It began in the morning. Waking up Leah, to drag her out for an early breakfast (and this girl sleeps like a ton of bricks!):
So I get Leah up, she showers, shampoos and (finally) gets ready to go out for breakfast, but not without constant prodding, supervision and some irreverance on her part ..
You see what I'm up against? Half of this is no different than babysitting. After breakfast, we go out to take foot photos and garner some video footage as well.
Then I went to pick up Malory and take her to a DVD signing party. Eleven guys showed up, Malory signed their DVDs and we all had a great lunch ..
Incidentally, Malory's hands are just as soft and beautiful as her feet and I love holding hands with her ..

And yes, she did wear flip flops today
Just after lunch I got a phone call from Kristin, who was threatening to dye her hair brown and had a little time off between classes; so I drove over to meet her ..
We had coffee, biscotti and some excellent conversation. It was great seeing her (and her beautiful feet), but I did not succeed in changing her mind about dying her hair darker. I think she's going to do it when she gets home tonight.
After leaving her, I decided to hit a Fred Meyer store, hit an ATM and relax a little ... by coincidence I ran into Chalanda, a TALL, fit, healthy (black) female with some serious feet. She's been to two foot parties and is a VERY dear girl. We had coffee at Mocha Master and surfed the web a little.
I'll be talking more about Chalanda in a separate (future) post, which will be accompanied by photographs.
A text message from a footgirl who I can not stop loving - Kirsten, who I had asked to see the night before, says she's available for coffee, but only for a short while; so I drive all over creation again to meet her at a Starbucks; and she looks GOOD!
She was in a great mood and seeing her was magnificant. She had about three hours of "sneaker feet" brewing and I did get to sample those in her luxurious automobile after coffee. I LOVE Starbucks!
The cell phone rings, and it's Malory:
She wants to know if I'm busy and I say "no". She says she wants to spend some of her DVD money and offers Burgers and Milk Shakes. I think Miss Kirsten's relieved to get rid of me and be on her way. I get back into the car, drive all over creation (again) and meet Malory at Burgerville, USA ..
She wore flip flops again. We sat out in the parking lot, listening to the radio as we ate our burgers and drank our shakes ..
It's probably a coincidence but I get phone calls from Alayna, Liana and Lindsey. I called everybody the night before, but didn't expect as many replies (it's always feast or famine).
As evening approaches, it is finally (FINALLY) time for a (long) drive home, but not without the company of .. you guessed it, a footgirl. Liv .. who talks and talks and talks and knows the words to every song on every radio station, up and down the dial. UP and DOWN the dial. It is a long drive, despite those big, beautiful FEET of hers (on the dash, out the window and sometimes in my lap).
This was one of the longest "Days Off" I've had in awhile. I actually need to get back to work tomorrow in order to relax and THAT'S going to feel like a break!
As I said in the beginning, sometimes enough is enough. On the other hand - in the words a man I admire greatly (Liberace), "Too much of a good thing is ..... WONDERFUL!"

I myself will be sitting behind a desk today, recovering from yesterday's (17-hour) foot day. Leah's quite a little character, I think she will hold her own against Liv and Kristin. I'd be interested in hearing about your plan b, I can use all the advice available.

Hello Feetness -
While you were gone, forum member metaldaze posted a review of Malory's DVD and it ended up having some new photographs of her. You can see his review and her photographs here:
You can find about five or six new photos there, hope you like them.

Hello Wrinklesguy -
The day started around 5:00 am, which meant I had to be up and awake by 4:15. I say "started" at 5:00 am, that's the time I began the task of waking Leah up and that alone took a good twenty minutes.
What I've posted here are only highlights, not to include phone calls (of which you'll always have a lot), text messages and emails, which seem to come and go all day and night. Yes, we do make our own beds but if we just had time to actually SLEEP in them!

You know, I actually don't have many "Malory" posts. I've been active for amost a year now and to this so far posts with her have been about three or four months apart. As far as I know, these are the only ones, maybe you will find one here not yet seen.

Ben,
My plan: well, have you seen the movie "Valley Girl"? Simplicity at its finest. That's all that I can reveal right now.
By the way, after a long day at work, I must admit that my day wasn't as good as yours. I had one pretty woman tell me that she loves feet and that she thinks that she has sexy feet (verified). I had another one say that whenever she sees stilettos or sexy heels, she thinks of me. Hey, not bad, but not a day with Kristin, Kirstin, Malory, Liv, and Leah.

Hello Skorpius -
Hanging out and talking about feet with girls is GREAT, particular when the girls are of such excellent caliber. You may find it interesting to know, I have come to rely on these footgirls for a pretty good chunk of my social life.
It's not always a bowl of cherries though. Of course ANY time spent in the company of a girl like this (ANY of these girls) is a slice of Heaven.
On any given day, the cast of characters will change, the situations vary. The long and short of it is, these girls are (collectively) giving me as many grey hairs as they are pleasures (at least what hair I have left after Summer's "Haircut training").

Hello feetluvr -
That is one of Kristin's favorite get-ups and one of mine as well. I really love it and she's always heppy to don it for me. In fact, I've asked her to bring that little outfit with her tonight .. as we are going to photograph her with her new, dark hair (which by the way, I'm still a little bit bugged about).
Kristin wears this type of look well because she is so tall. Here's another of those photos from yesterday, and a bonus photo of Kristin as well.
Posted by Ben Del Amitri (Member # 2724) on :
I'm having an early dinner with Kristin tonight and we are going to take photographs of her feet (and her new, darker hair). I've asked her to wear her little outfit, as seen above.

You've got that right! It's easier said than done because I am so easily distracted. It's going pretty well today though, started off with a very early round of golf - and you're pretty safe from feet out on the golf course. I guess we'll see how things go.

I would love to have a day like this in Romania as well! I would love to have ANY day in Romania and I know they've got some SERIOUS feet there!
Your observation about Leah is a good one. You can lick those delicious feet, suck those luscious toes of hers as part of the wake-up process, but you also have do shake her, wake her then physically lift her up to a sitting position and THEN drag her physically up and into the bathroom; practically have to put a toothbrush in her hand while you hold her up in a standing position. Funny stuff.

Hello rbhdz17 -
Yes, these poor footgirls (or "pore" footgirls, as Summer would say) .. if you are looking to apply for a position of assistant, here are a few of the core requreiments for the job:
1. TIME ... lots of it and the hours can begin as early as 4:30 am, end as late as 2:30 am
2. Thick skin
3. Sense of humor
4. A degree in counseling
5. Experience in babysitting
6. Money for gas - and flexibility to pick up and drive footgirls all over creation in both cities (Seattle and Portland).
7. An automobile that gets good mileage; for the numerous drives between Seattle and Portland.
8. A large van or wagon - for schlepping footgirls here and there within the city itself (and for events).
9. Detailed knowledge of area airports and flight schedules, both cities .. for picking up and dropping off Miss Kirsten when she comes and goes (which is a LOT).
10. An appetite and liking for Arby's and Denny's because you will be dragging Summer out there at least twice a week.
11. Detailed knowledge of the clubs in Pioneer Square because you'll be down there bailing out Alyssa, Niki or Lindsay when they are drunk, crying and in trouble (at 1:00 am no less!).
12. Knowledge of care and use of digital cameras. Keep one in your briefcase and one in your glove box at all times.
13. Tact and Civility .. able to make a great, lasting impression with the occaisional boyfriend or husband (yes, husband, I've had to deal with a few along the way).
14. Rust bucket pick up truck. You have to have one but you don't need to drive it much. Carry minimum liability on this because you will only need it at 2:00 in the morning when a footgirl's been fighting with her boyfriend and either gets kicked out or decides to leave and move in with her sister. Use this truck for such occaisions so you and a friend can pack all her possessions into it and haul off to her sister's place.
15. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve and Excedrin Migraine. Carry a "buffet" of these in your briefcase and in your glove box.
In addition to having a choice of these available, take TWO of EACH out of each bottle and put them together in a separate bottle .. for extra stressful headache situations. I call this my "Footgirl Salad" and you take the entire shebang with a diet coke or coke zero .. this will generally get you through those times when just a regular dosage of any of the above won't do .. and you WILL have these moments.
16. Detailed knowledge of coffee shops! This is important, if you ever come across a one-in-a-million meeting with a scorching girl you will need to know where to fletch and do so quickly, in order to secure a conversation.
17. Detailed knowledge of parks and side streets. For those times when you are successful in convincing a scorching girl to fletch out for foot photos .. nothing threatens this mood greater than a lengthy delay. Know where to go, get there fast and strike while the iron is hot.
18. Witty Reparte' ... use this to develop a quick bond with a prospective footgirl. If you are like me and have no wits or brains, just pray and rely on as much sheer luck as you may find - then use it well.
19. Pepto Bismal. Buy this in huge, quart or half-gallon jugs. Use it as a drink, in fact!
20. Contact Management and CRM Software. This is critical. Use this to record and keep track of phone numbers, cell numbers, addresses, names and dates .. most importantly, REMINDERS! If you ever forget a Footgirl's birthday, you are TOAST!!!!!
21. Grecian Formula for Men. Each individual footgirl - no matter how dear or sweet she may be, will be giving you at least two new grey hairs per week. Multiply this by about fifty footgirls and you get the picture. You'll need to have about a gallon jug of this to start. Make sure to grab a Costco or Sam's Club membership so you can buy it bulk thereafter. **ARE YOU READING THIS LIV?**
22. Give up your Social Life. Take this job and you won't have much time left for one.
23. A Sense of Value ... if you have one of these, forget the whole thing!
============================
OK, these are a few of the core requirements for the job. If, after reading all of this, it still sounds interesting - then a bright future is waiting for you at Girlswithfeet.

Hello Footman9 -
These situations can be tricky, indeed. Most of these girls are able to handle that part of it. They present a STRONG and vehement case and are generally willing to stand up to these guys, refuse to back down.
Once in awhile a boyfriend or husband will give a footgirl an ultimatum .. "Either stop that sh*t or I'm gone". This happened to Trinity a year ago and THANKFULLY she told him to where to pack it. Thankfully because I LOVE Trinity's FEET!
Other times a footgirl will come to me and say "Ben, I really love this guy, he's great but he wants me to stop the feet activities". That's how we lost Jessica a few years ago, one of my all-time favorite footgirls.
The goal, of course, is to make a sterling impression on these guys and to present myself (and Girlswithfeet) in a way that is non-threatening to them (and their relationships).

I hear ya, Ben. This is where you make your money (so to speak) with these guys. Most guys want to put their stamp on their new relationship and don't want any interference. If you present the deal in a fashion that is non-threatening to their relationship (like you said), all should go well. Barring any wildcards (crazy guys) out there you, you do a superb job making it work. Again, you handle all the psychology and sociology involve in stride and do this all for passion of pretty feet. This is simply incredible and I truly appreciate the finish products or fruits of your labor. Go Ben!!

- not my best trait
3. Sense of humor
- definitely
4. A degree in counseling
- not my major, but I do well when it comes to counseling
5. Experience in babysitting
- does a puppy count?
6. Money for gas - and flexibility to pick up and drive footgirls all over creation in both cities (Seattle and Portland).
- got money and somewhat flexible schedule
7. An automobile that gets good mileage; for the numerous drives between Seattle and Portland.
- uh oh, my G35 only gets about 17 mpg
8. A large van or wagon - for schlepping footgirls here and there within the city itself (and for events).
- no, but small price to pay
9. Detailed knowledge of area airports and flight schedules, both cities .. for picking up and dropping off Miss Kirsten when she comes and goes (which is a LOT).
- thank God for mapquest
10. An appetite and liking for Arby's and Denny's because you will be dragging Summer out there at least twice a week.
- I don't do fast food, but I'm willing to hit the drive through for these girls
11. Detailed knowledge of the clubs in Pioneer Square because you'll be down there bailing out Alyssa, Niki or Lindsay when they are drunk, crying and in trouble (at 1:00 am no less!).
- willing to learn
12. Knowledge of care and use of digital cameras. Keep one in your briefcase and one in your glove box at all times.
- i have one
13. Tact and Civility .. able to make a great, lasting impression with the occaisional boyfriend or husband (yes, husband, I've had to deal with a few along the way).
- check
14. Rust bucket pick up truck. You have to have one but you don't need to drive it much. Carry minimum liability on this because you will only need it at 2:00 in the morning when a footgirl's been fighting with her boyfriend and either gets kicked out or decides to leave and move in with her sister. Use this truck for such occaisions so you and a friend can pack all her possessions into it and haul off to her sister's place.
- nope, but I have decent trunk space if that counts
15. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve and Excedrin Migraine. Carry a "buffet" of these in your briefcase and in your glove box.
- can start carrying
In addition to having a choice of these available, take TWO of EACH out of each bottle and put them together in a separate bottle .. for extra stressful headache situations. I call this my "Footgirl Salad" and you take the entire shebang with a diet coke or coke zero .. this will generally get you through those times when just a regular dosage of any of the above won't do .. and you WILL have these moments.
- no problem
16. Detailed knowledge of coffee shops! This is important, if you ever come across a one-in-a-million meeting with a scorching girl you will need to know where to fletch and do so quickly, in order to secure a conversation.
- I don't do coffee, but I'm willing to make some sacrifices
17. Detailed knowledge of parks and side streets. For those times when you are successful in convincing a scorching girl to fletch out for foot photos .. nothing threatens this mood greater than a lengthy delay. Know where to go, get there fast and strike while the iron is hot.
- mapquest again
18. Witty Reparte' ... use this to develop a quick bond with a prospective footgirl. If you are like me and have no wits or brains, just pray and rely on as much sheer luck as you may find - then use it well.
- no problem
19. Pepto Bismal. Buy this in huge, quart or half-gallon jugs. Use it as a drink, in fact!
- I have a strong stomach
20. Contact Management and CRM Software. This is critical. Use this to record and keep track of phone numbers, cell numbers, addresses, names and dates .. most importantly, REMINDERS! If you ever forget a Footgirl's birthday, you are TOAST!!!!!
- I have a great memory; I've never had to take notes, even in school
21. Grecian Formula for Men. Each individual footgirl - no matter how dear or sweet she may be, will be giving you at least two new grey hairs per week. Multiply this by about fifty footgirls and you get the picture. You'll need to have about a gallon jug of this to start. Make sure to grab a Costco or Sam's Club membership so you can buy it bulk thereafter. **ARE YOU READING THIS LIV?**
- chicks dig a distinguished look
22. Give up your Social Life. Take this job and you won't have much time left for one.
- small price to pay
23. A Sense of Value ... if you have one of these, forget the whole thing!
- none whatsoever. When do I start?
============================
OK, these are a few of the core requirements for the job. If, after reading all of this, it still sounds interesting - then a bright future is waiting for you at Girlswithfeet.

Hello rhbdz17 -
You just got the job. I'll see you when you get out here and I will be delegating a LOT of routine tasks, sending them your way. Welcome aboard.
Posted by rhbdz17 (Member # 2492) on :
Ben,
Sweet. I'll put my house up for sale tomorrow. Goodbye Texas.

A beautiful reason to blow off work I say.
Actually several.
Posted by Ben Del Amitri (Member # 2724) on :
Hello Adam X -
A great reason to blow off work ... but at some point, this actually BECOMES work. Sometimes I struggle to find middle ground because when left to my own devices and decisions, I go overboard with this foot world.

This is one of those threads you hope never stops! lol. Some amazing pics here.

Blonde, brunette, purple, it just doesn't matter. Kristin is just gorgeous.

But I'd agree Leah seems like a super cool girl. Know when you might be making a DVD with her Ben? Rock on brotha!
Hello Rockbass2 -
We just MADE one! We've got some great video footage (get it, footage?) of Leah and it's a mini-movie with a plot, beautiful girls, a hero and feet.
In this movie, I play the role of Liberace Jones, Miracle Mechanic and something of a genius humanitarian. Leah portrays a luscious, beautiful little distressed motorist .. with Feet.
I can't really say much more about the movie, it's just coming out of post-production tonight and not to be released for another few days.
This Featurette is rated "F" ... if you have a sense of value (or any sense at ALL), stay away. For everybody else, I hope you will all rush out in a buying frenzy and score several of these apiece (they make wonderful gifts).
I will say without reservation that I love this little doll. I am pleased as punch to have met her and thankful to have brought her onboard as a new member of our little foot family here.

I like Kristin's new "Do." Leah is .
Posted by Ben Del Amitri (Member # 2724) on :
I like Kristin, she has been one of my favorite footgirls since minute ONE; I'm slowly getting used to her new hair - not that it's better or worse in my eye, just that I have a hard time seeing her that way. I will add that Kristin has some of the softest feet I've ever encountered.

We're going to go on a little two-day road trip, do some sightseeing, hiking and goofing around. That will give me some time to acclimate myself to her new look. Here's another photo of Kristin as a brunette:
I'll take a bunch of photographs during our road trip and will then have more to post upon my return.
Hey Ben I wanna see Kristin. Please bring her with you & stop by before you take her back. PS what's wrong with your cell phone?

Hello Lyrical -
You know, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. In this little foot family of ours, it seems to always be the case .. plus, with us it's always a lot more hilarious.

Well congrats on gaining 3000 (post) yards rushing, Ben .

I think it's time for Ben to hire an assistant or two.
Hello rbhdz17 -
Yes, these poor footgirls (or "pore" footgirls, as Summer would say) .. if you are looking to apply for a position of assistant, here are a few of the core requreiments for the job:
1. TIME ... lots of it and the hours can begin as early as 4:30 am, end as late as 2:30 am

3. Sense of humor
4. A degree in counseling
5. Experience in babysitting
6. Money for gas - and flexibility to pick up and drive footgirls all over creation in both cities (Seattle and Portland).

Note to RPM, you mentioned learning something from Ben in the past, maybe this was it? Somehow I missed this the 1st time & just found it now through your reposting of the thread. It's hiarlious! From the standpoint of a footgirl it's SO true. Ben never had a social life of his own, we were it. And this is why LOL..
Posted by RPM (Member # 2895) on :
yeah..... i did learn! part of the reason why I didn't push full tilt to have my own paid site. I knew my schedule wouldn't be able to handle it. I was doing too many other things.. and I wasn't yet a good photog either. now that i'm good, i sitll don't have the time. lol!
however.. I look forward to posting the pics I took recently where I learned and applied what i've gleaned from Ben!!!!
A pose or two or three you'll recall Malory.. you inspired them in your modelling!
