Seven of my 18 "Faves" SGs are over the age of 30. Another 4 are at the cusp. Three others are ageless. Of them all, 13 appear to not be active with the site anymore.

I could update my faves, pick girls who are active and a sustaining part of the site but, honestly, it's not like it used to be. That is not to disparage the current lineup of SGs. It's just, my faves represents, to me, the pantheon of SG goddesses; those alt models that offered their bodies and souls up to a alt nude site and made it quite a force. Each is an icon, their sets testaments of alt beauty back when it was being defined socially, commercially. Yet, it doesn't define them (as one even stated in a final blog post) and have moved on to more, to bigger and better.

This is my 10th year of being associated with the site. I miss that Pacific Northwest ambiance of the beginning yet am glad to see it has grown as it has. I had hoped my faves would span the years, a slow shifting of royalty. But my most recent had her first set premiere in 2010, two slots are not used. Perhaps this isn't a lifetime commitment but a phase. Again, not to disparage newer models, contemporary sets, it's just wondering if I, if that first smattering of girls in Portland and abroad, are part of this thing anymore.
