I met the extremely shy Elle as she was studying between classes.  I asked if she would let me interview her for a project I was doing on laughter, I didn't mention the tickling portion.   As I said, Elle is extremely shy and I feel like she agreed to participate simply because she is the type of person who is scared to say "no".  

We start off with a short interview where you can see how shy and awkward Elle really is.  She constantly looks around for other students who might see us.  Elle tells us her stats and a little about herself.  I ask if she is ticklish and she tells me "She thinks so."  She rates her ticklishness a 5 on a scale of 1-10.  

I ask if I can see how ticklish she is and she agrees.  Once I touch her feet Elle starts laughing and seems surprised and embarrassed at how ticklish she really is.  She is much more than a "5" level of ticklishness.   

I ask when the last time someone tickled her was and she said "Never".  This is a girl who really didn't know how ticklish she was!

I continue to tickle her and her laughter grows.  I even decide to break out the electric flosser which really gets some good reactions from this future doctor!  

This was a home run as far as random approaches go!  

I gave Elle my card and told her she could make some extra cash if she wanted to do a full tickle session.   Not sure if I'll hear back from this shy girl but it's worth the try!

NEW SERIES!  I'm going to try the impossible, approaching random women and tickling their feet.  I've tried this a few times in the past with not much success but I've refined my approach since then so we will see how it goes! This could be a great new series or one that fades away quickly, stay tuned!

I met Tara on campus, she is an 18-year-old freshman with size 7 feet.  Tara is dressed in black from head to toe, she isn't exactly goth but close enough, more of the dark college, loner, artsy type. 

I approached Tara as she was walking on campus and asked if she would model for me, I decided to not mention tickling right away.  We found a bench and I took a few normal photos of her before asking if she would model barefoot for me. 

"Feet? I hate feet."  she said.

I told her I don't and it would be a big help if it wasn't too much trouble.  She told me her polish was old and chipped and I let her know it didn't matter to me.

Tara reluctantly pulls off her black boots showing off a pair of white socks.  At this point, she hasn't smiled at all while posing.  So I try to crack a few jokes and finally get a smile out of her.  From what I could see of her face (she keeps her sunglasses on) Tara appears to be very pretty!

I get to take her socks off and get a glimpse of very cute, soft, pale feet.  It's clear these feet don't see the sun very often.  

I then ask if she is ticklish.  Tara tells me she doesn't know if she's ticklish but I can try if I want – She says this with zero enthusiasm!  Not the most willing model but that makes it more fun!

I tickle Tara's feet and you can see from her reaction that she is ticklish but she does not want to laugh, she even admits to me that she's fighting it.  Towards the end of the clip I'm able to get some laughing out of her.  

This is a real reaction from a complete random model!  And I think that's what makes the clip so great.  Tara doesn't go crazy or laugh out loud, she is reluctant and embarrassed by being tickled by a stranger and it shows.
