Summer's upon us...

Sadly, Summer does seem to be a bad time for nylon enthusiasts; most women choose to summer in bare legs, and who can blame them.  But, here at LoveHosedToes, we still have a steady stream of nylon covered feet for your viewing pleasure.

It's was a busy Spring here at LoveHosedToes, and only looks to be an even busier summer.  Membership is up to 281 (with 489 more watchers), activity is steady, we're averaging 50 pageviews a day, but growing of late, and between us and our Affiliate Groups, we have a lot of opportunities to show off your work.

So, enough about us, here's the latest updates.

Admins:
We've recently added to out staff, and I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce you to everyone.
valleigh is our newest admin.  Click this lovehosedtoes.deviantart.com/j… to read her own hello.

emiliogtz became an admin this past winter.  Besides his invaluable work for the group, you should also check out his own gallery.  His photography does not disappoint.

madminou (Lily Douce) is our fabulous, Canadian, resident pantyhose enthusiast / model.

radioactive107 (Shane Willis / Rad Act Photo) has been here since the beginning.  He's an incomparable photographer, deviatART beta-tested, and just so happens to have a stable of models willing to pose in their pantyhose just for us.

ArakinDunes: Erin has unfortunately retired from deviantART.  I hold out hope that one day she and her beautiful photography may return, and when that happens, her spot as an admin remains.

Donations:
I would love to see this page as a SuperGroup.  Additionally, I'd love to run real Contests with prizes.  In order to do either, in the deviantART world, you need points.  I've set up a donation pool on my own page pon-farr.deviantart.com/ just for this group.  If you'd like to help us out, pop on over there and give what you can.  Not only will you be helping make LoveHosedToes a better place, but you get your own feature journal... like we did for Malinka-N here: lovehosedtoes.deviantart.com/j…
