Dear all.. (well, NEARLY all.. except Duffman847, of course..  )http://barefoot-urban-girls.com/' wonderful superstar SWAINS is currently on holiday on the West Coast of the USA, and has asked me to share with you these pictures which a friend of hers took some days ago! SWAINS visited - among others - Monument Valley and Arches National Park in Utah.. and she did that barefooted!  SWAINS.. we love you!  SWAINS tested her tough soles on rough terrains at Monument Valley, Utah!  Dusty soles showoff in public at Arches National Park, Utah!   |

@Hal: thank you for cleaning up the previous wave of spam.. sadly it seems that new spamming accounts are automatically generated..  There must be some hacker who hates Pavel and/or some CF forum member.. otherwise I see no point in posting nonsense through automated spammers. |

| Hi Feetosopher, please tell SWAINS how much I love the photos she has sent to Europe! She looks fantastic! You know what? That´s exactly what makes such a huge difference. She could have just enjoyed her trip and yet she remembered her followers and took her shoes off just to make them happy. A great gesture, indeed! Cheers! bfw |

| Really wonderful. Will there be more photos coming of this trip? Americans are uptight about public barefooting in this country but I’ve noticed that national Parks are the exception. I’ve seen women going barefoot at Shenandoah and Great Smokey Mountains and Everglades National Parks. |

Thank you for your appreciation, I am sure that SWAINS will be happy about it! As for your question.. to date, SWAINS has sent me four pics: one exclusively dedicated to http://barefoot-urban-girls.com/ subscribers, and three to be also shared with her fans here and at http://www.wusfeetlinks.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php. Frankly speaking, I do not know whether SWAINS will send additional pictures. Of course I do hope that, but it would also be extremely rude from my side to ask for that. SWAINS is not posing for a BUG shooting in the USA: she is on holiday there, and I think that she was already VERY kind towards us all in sending these pics. |

Thank you very much, @bfwatcher! As I have often said, SWAINS checks this forum often, and she has probably already read your kind comment! SWAINS perfectly knows which of you guys admire her, and are grateful to her for these wonderful "barefoot greetings from" postcards she sends! IMHO, SWAINS is a truly outstanding person (besides being a wonderful barefooting beauty), and I am always a bit upset by the fact that she has relatively few fans here on City Feet Forum. I am afraid that some lads here do not show appreciation towards SWAINS as a form of "anti-Feetosopher" behaviour.. which is pathetic. I mean, if Pavel posted on this forum similar pictures sent by a CF model on holiday, I would be ultra-glad to thank him and her for that! |

| Great to see Swains on her American tour. As a whole Americans are not uptight about barefooting , hippie enclaves through out the country, college towns ect. As a whole the rich are uptight about barefooting but than as a classic paradigm many hippies are rich kids who go barefoot to rebel. I went to a college like this. In places like the Berkshires in Massachusetts or Woodstock New York for example, it’s very common and part of their ethos, Bohemian, rejecting society, money, big cities ect Same in California-Big Sur, Marin County ect , as well as Oregon , Washington to name a handful. |

Thank you for your appreciation, sir! In her US vacations, SWAINS has visited / is about to visit Utah, Nevada and California. |

This is true. Hippie towns/college towns are cool with barefooting, it's wealthy big cities like New York that are really uptight. I also think out west (where Swains is right now) is more chill about it. The best sightings I've ever had were in Boulder. Colorado. Also, the climate on the Pacific Coast is better for not wearing shoes, as it never gets too hot or too cold (you wouldn't want to go barefoot in New York in July or January, even if it wasn't such an uptight place). I just hope things don't change too much out west as places like San Francisco and Seattle get wealthy and snobby and push out the hippie vibe. |

Well sir.. maybe besides the discussion about which places in the USA have a pro- or anti-barefooting attitude.. at least ONE WORD to thank SWAINS for the pictures she sent.. would have been appropriate..  |

You are welcome. Saying that you like something is the minimum we can do and I agree that we all should do it more often. But as I have already mentioned before, we take too many good things in our life for granted and only realise how important they were when they´re gone. Human nature, I guess. Anyway, we´re all lucky bastards because SWAINS, one of the greatest barefoot stunners in the universe, cares about us! So thanks again, SWAINS! |
| Posted by: Feetosopher Jun 9 2019, 06:03 PM | ||
Well, I have been taught to always show gratitude when someone is generous towards me, and I NEVER take anything for granted. That's the way I am. Whatever.. yes, I think that you are indeed lucky that SWAINS has such a kind attitude towards her fans. But kindness has to be deserved.. (I am not talking about you, @bfwatcher.. you are a very polite person, and sure know how to be more.. soft-spoken than me..  ). |
| Posted by: shifter Jun 9 2019, 08:39 PM | ||
it is really sad, yes, but its also generally the lack of "life" hiere in this forum, too many lurkers, not much talking going on, well, there is a little bit of an upwave coming, and hopefully with new members can sign it, we perhaps get a more live forum.. spam is annoying but the mod can delete it..but new members here the forum would be a great thing and surely also will show some appreciation i agree, we take too many things for granted, a while ago i said to myself (because i was also lurking to much and not participating) that at least i have to say a thank you :-)SWAINS is really incredible.. i adore here and when you write that she is a really outsanding person, i adore here even more... :-) I like kind people, and i also try to be kind, and i actually do believe, that with kindness we can change the world, or at least the people around you. :-) |

I am happy too about the little "renaissance" which has been going on in this forum in the last months. It is a lively place once again, and new members posting something to enjoy / to discuss about are surely welcome. Yet automated spammers are a true pain in the ass.. let's hope that something can be done to fix this problem.. for now, many thanks to Pavel and the other admins who "clean up" that crap every once in a while. I know it's hard to believe for some here (if they just focus on my rants ).. but I love kindness.. kindness may save the world! I have always been kind to people who has been kind to me.. and I think that you can witness that, amico.. |

In her US vacations, SWAINS has visited / is about to visit Utah, Nevada and California.[/QUOTE] Thank you for sharing the photos of her holiday. Speaking of Nevada, the filthiest feet I ever saw in person on a girl was in Vegas. She was walking from an indoor garage at the 4 Queens hotel in the old section of Vegas (Fremont Street) and the garage surface was filthy. The warm air and oily residue made for an extremely dirty surface. She walked from a car in this garage and her soles were totally black- even the arches- indicating she had been barefoot for a very long time. She was allowed to enter the hotel casino (this being Vegas and all) and sat herself down at a video poker game and played. All while bobbing her tanned legs and filthy feet up and down. This was about 15 years ago. I hope the casinos are still easygoing about barefooting inside. If they’re going to gamble then why not? |

You are welcome, @tubMan.. as I have already written, it's SWAINS you have to be grateful to.. I only acted as her ambassador! Your experience in Vegas sounds deffo exciting! What I can say about barefooting and casinos in Italy, is that my model RED-X (she is the only Italian 24/7/365 hardcore barefooter I have met in person) goes barefooted quite often to the casino in Campione d'Italia (an Italian enclave is Swiss territory), including in winter, and nobody ever complained. |

Yes, it´s quite something, isn´t it. Now I´m actually looking forward to checking out new posts here. I wouldn´t have believed that traffic would increase here that much. Cool! Many thanks to all forum members who leave their comments here. |

Cool indeed.. and many thanks also from my side! |

| Wow, wow, wow!!! I knew it - Swains is simply the best! Dear Feetoshoper, please tell her that I love her! |
| Posted by: Feetosopher Jun 11 2019, 01:02 PM | ||
Thank you for your appreciation, @Daniellowl.. SWAINS checks the forum often, so she will read your.. love declaration with her own eyes.. |
