It's going through a bit of slow period... What I have trouble understanding is that the last pic in the set has cropped out her left breast. You can actually find the original un-cropped version if you do a reverse image search. I won't post the link, but you can find it. I believe that the un-cropped version was a part of the leak that occurred upteen years ago (correct me if I'm mistaken). I'm just surprised they wouldn't post it now; especially seeing as it has been "in the wild" for so long. Oh well. It's nice to see stuff from 12+yrs back, anyway.
It's cropped, I have the original! Took a bit to go through my miscellaneous Nikki folder but I know I'd seen it before!
Nipple shields equal topless IMHO.
I agree with that. The nipple shields are basically as good as it gets. I’ll like to see her do more stuff with them but ehh ..probably doesnt exist. Anyways she’s still young enough to comeback so I’m hoping. The older she gets the older I get soooooo ��
Has anyone with contact with Nikki or husband ever suggested they do a podcast?
I think a weekly show talking about her body of work from Phil-to-finish would be interesting and ground breaking because not only has there never been a podcast about the solo-model business, but she's also the most successful one of all time. She could attract a wide variety of advertisers as well as maintaining interest in her website and attracting new fans for years to come by weekly discussing specific subjects, specific videos, specific photo shoots, how she got started, her origins in the business, etc. etc. It could also be cathartic for her.
What do you all think?

Back in August I discussed setting up an interview (not with me, but another FO alumn) where we would cover the above, as well mentioned the possible cross-marketing opportunities for the site. His interest was minimal. He expressed a significant amount of frustration with certain fans and a general level of fatigue with the whole experience. He wasn't sold. Since it wasn't my baby I didn't force it. Shortly after that he stopped responding to emails. Time can change things, but given that people here are generally critical of less than stellar content, I think it would be unlikely that he would want to participate with anyone here. Perhaps if a representative of Freeones Corporate reached out, or AVN, then maybe he might bite.
My whole argument against that is she’s a “tease” model. What happens when you tease? People want more. The more they want the more you make. With all the bitching about content etc I never once heard anyone call her ugly or whatever. Now many they did in private but not the mass majority. That however is part of the public fame right. So when you tease and people want more, it means you’re doing a good job. Fans may be happy some weeks mad the next happy thereafter and pissed of next. It’s allllll part of the “tease” game. Why be in a genre and make millions or whatever and then be hurt or angry at the fans that got you there. Some weeks I hate the content some weeks I love it. I’ll never call her ugly or stupid or whatever or whatever ..I think ultimately if she’s tired or he is etc that’s fine. However, if fans bitching made them “tired” I think that’s a lil....well..I won’t insult nobody Lol
I think because it was a mom-and-pop shop it became personal and so technical criticisms, or expressions of frustration with the lack of nudity/action, were taken as attacks on them personally. Add to that that the affiliate model died, which made the endeavour less profitable. Piracy, was the last nail in the coffin. I think the tone of the shoots and overall photography were better in some ways back in 2011-12. Not because they were more competent, but because it was still fun. They still had some excitement and curiosity. Nikki smiles more, there is less going through motions and more play.
The benefit of doing it themselves was that they could shoot whenever and wherever was convenient. This likely kept the site going longer. However, in my own opinion, it also led to a lack of objectivity and a lack of creativity and fun. There is something to be said for strangers coming together, with limited time and budget, each trying to help the other be successful. There is something to be said for creating a fantasy with someone you don't regularly have sex with. I believe that their process became too comfortable and familiar. They started to accept that they would never satisfy certain fans and became bogged down in "fans are assholes" and "we can't change". Mumblez has a wife, a kid, and 3 jobs. He's not looking to change the game. Nikki chose to constrain herself to "tease" and so, with limited energy and willingness to push the brand forward, it didn't evolve, fans got pissy, and the vortex of malaise and reinforcing diminishing returns on the site were the result.
