    Default My FootNight Experince

    FUCK!!!

    I made an extremely long dissertation about everything that happened at FootNight New Orleans and the lovely SW forum had it poof into nothingness.

    I want to cry.

    I typed for a good 45mins.

    Well, long story short is exploitative, its not profitable, its essentially like working at a cheap SC for a night, and its really not very lucrative. It was also run by a submissive male which led to all sorts of technical/professional issues big and small.

    yeah the site hasn't exactly been great lately - I'm still constantly being told I am posting too quickly and that I need to try again, when actually the post went through just fine. eyeroll.

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    that sucks! I thought it sounded like a blast! I've even talked to a friend of mine that hosts swinger parties about starting this up here.
    I just gotta be me!

    Sorry, okay here is the low-down:

    - I submitted several pictures. They require face, full body, and a foot shot in the application but they give you the option to only have the foot shot used in their advertising and pictures showing your face only used in evaluation and not published. I opted for "feet only", they published my face pictures. People who know me found it, thats how I learned they had done so.

    When I called the local organizer, George, he apologized but begged me to keep the pictures up because 1) my looks were beneficial to promoting the event and 2) the dumbass didn't know how to remove the picture from the sites gallery after publishing the webpage - WOW.

    Considering the fact that people were now going because they saw me, I figured I might as still attend because even if I don't, he can't (or simply won't) remove the images.

    By the way, I was actually too young to attend. I'm 20, according to their "strict" rules, I should not be allowed to go because models must be 21+. I reminded them of this once I found the rule on their site, they did not care. (For the record, my ID and personal info was never checked or verified, I even put fake info on all the forms)

    - George...

    This guy was not 100% stable. He is a hardcore submissive, who was somehow put in charge of an event. He kept me on the phone for nearly 2hours but spent an uncomfortable amount of time talking about his personal life in relation to the FootNight event. Especially all the "naughty trouble I am in with my wife" and "being a bad boy for wanting to taste all the beautiful models feet" even saying its "terrible I have to work that night and won't be able to have it". I mean, I get that as a submissive foot lover he probably has much insight into what similar men seek at these events, but he could not separate his fetish from his work. When I tried to talk serious business with him he sounded scared and mouse-like which was very frustrating. I'm very kinky too, I actually am a submissive in my personal life - but that does not affect my ability to conduct business or be professional

    - Other Models

    Seeing as this was NOLA's first ever FootNight, models from other Footnights were brought in. I did not have much interaction with them, but I did learn that they were all living with George and his wife for the week up to the event. The couple and the girls clearly had something "going on" That just creeped me out. Plus, all the other 25 models just seemed like an afterthought.

    - Photo/Video Shoot

    So the day before the FootNight event, all of the models were invited to come to a 5hr photo and video shoot. Seeing as no one would give me a straight answer as to whether or not this shoot was compensated (and considering thier track record with pictures of me) I opted not to go.

    This is the thing, FootNight international has a C4S store, plus paid member picture and video galleries. They take tons of content at the event as well, so they have models giving up the content for free, and then they take it online to make a profit.

    The Clients/Event

    - Though the event was hosted in a fairly upscale swingers club, the clients were not so. Supposedly 30 men had registered for the event (paid the $65 registration fee online), for the 4hours I was there, myself and my friend counted no more than 12 guys total, with about 8 who stayed for the majority of the time. Men were in baggy, even torn and dirty clothes with severely crumpled bills. All dressed very casual (this party was supposed to be cocktail attire). Most of the pro Dommes or other "professionals" like myself and my friend actually left at about 10:45 because of how slow it was in addition to the downright pathetic quality of the clients. The "newbies" hung around until 12 for reasons I will never understand.

    - What I think will always prevent more upscale gentlemen from coming to these events is the fact that 1) they record videos and pictures at the event, fully showing the men licking women feet and 2) they discourage privacy, everyone is supposed to "share the fun, out in the open" That takes away several demographics of men from attending, especially more affluent ones who are married and hold a job position with public status.

    - Atmosphere

    This is important, it was my understanding (based off direct quotes from the organizers) that the set up involved the models lounging around, a handful of local and national fetish producers, and eager men requesting foot session starting at minimum $20/10 min

    Upon arrival, we were all told that we really need to approach the men and "sell yourself" and that guys will want to start at only 5min and we need to talk them up to 10min and possibly offer discounts for higher increments of time. (Seriously? I'd have been better off dancing at a club and making $20 for a 5min lapdance, no discounts allowed). Also, there were no fetish producers.

    DAniella, Wow. Thank you for taking the time to share this in-depth account of Footnight. Twice. There is so much wrong with this situation I don't even know where to start. EWWW seems to sum it up pretty well. Hopefully you posting this information will keep some ladies from falling into their scam. You can send them a DMCA statement to get your pictures removed from their site. I bet they figure out how to get them removed after that. In the immortal words of the hobbist - Thanks for TOFTT

    Melodie, that's what I was trying to figure out - I know he was working directly under the direction of the actual owner of FootNight International, who is a guy named Steve...but I'm not sure to what extent these actions were influenced by him.

    I mean, on one hand I could see the owner telling them to use the pictures without consent because it promotes his own business agenda, but then again that could have been an entirely local-level fault.

    If the ideas to have models stay at the party planners home, for pictures and full face videos to be taken of the clients, and for a 5hr photoshoot to use all free models to make for-sale content, are national, not local, ideas (which I think they are) then that really is bad enough.

    Wow. FINALLY someone can actually tell us what goes on for this event. I was signed up and on the roster for the last Vegas one, but didn't make it due to unrelated ciircumstance. What an eye-opener!!

    Oh wow thanks for the info! I applied. I heard back from a hotmail address who told me to text a number. I certainly don't feel comfortable texting a number that came from a hotmail address. I figured it was either someone pretending to be them, or they were just unprofessional. Either way, I didn't want to work for it.

    I'm constantly amazed at the number of people trying to convince me/us that they are high-class exclusive blahblahblah and are conducting business from a hotmail account. Like getting a domain name is hard.

    Thanks for sharing this. There have been ads for Footnight in the Bay Area and I was curious. I'll be staying far far away.
