Olivia, who did not give her full name to the New York Post , said that she was introduced to the world of foot fetishism after responding to a Craigslist advert asking for 'Girls With Pretty Feet'. At first she thought it was a modeling gig, but after auditioning at a Midtown spa-turned-brothel, she discovered that her feet would be pimped out to men for fondling sessions. The self-described 'broke college kid' was also desperate to earn extra cash to fund an unpaid internship while studying at New York University.
The original Craigslist ad, targeted at women aged 18 to 30, only asked for a name, phone number and head shot. When Olivia supplied these she was then told to get a pedicure and attend an interview dressed like she was going to a nightclub.
Her audition outfit consisted of a dressy tank top, pants and a pair of black stilettos. On turning up to the Manhattan spa she said that more than 30 girls, who did not speak English, were waiting in the lobby wearing corsets and high heels. The man who placed the ad invited each of the girls into a room one-by-one where their feet were inspected.
Olivia, who wears size six-and-a-half shoe, said that he was looking for high arches and small feet. Only ten of the girls made the cut, and the rest were sent off unpaid. On a typical evening at the spa, which offers daytime services such as massages and scrubs, Olivia says that the clients arrive with bottles of liquor , as the venue cannot legally sell alcohol.
And most bring the 'girliest' drinks possible such as 'whipped-cream Svedka' and 'cherry flavored vodka' in a bid to get the girls tipsy. The male client then takes their partner off to a private massage room kitted out with napkins, lotion and wipes. Recalling her first job Olivia said that a finance man with 'a little potbelly' ripped off her black stilettos off with his teeth, massaged her calves, groaned while he sucked her toes and gratified himself fully-dressed, as the spa maintains a strict clothes-on policy.
