The grind never stopped on Suicide Girls. Once the site was up and running, people expected more photo shoots, more new models, more variety…MORE MORE MORE.

Fortunately SG had more to give as it rolled into autumn of 2004.

Dropped Stitch sees @melly knitting a fall scarf.
And (wow!) is this set special!!

I really, really adore this one. What a divine model.

But summer...

As we in the Northern Hemisphere enjoy (endure) the summer of 2023, it’s worth looking back to the summer of 2004 to see what the girls of SG we up to during those hot early days.

These sets may be “old”, but they are shot-through with GOLD.

On July 10, @albertine released a self-shot MASTERPIECE entitled Antique Dress .

Indeed, for awhile in July of...

In reviewing the sets in the SG archives, there is a desire to FLY through the photo spreads as fast as possible—to get to the PRESENT time.

But when one encounters many, many quality sets which were released in a small window of time, it is only fair to slow the pace a bit and give this wonderful work the attention it deserves.

So it...

How could the site follow the explosive Lemmy/Dave Grohl set?

THAT is a hard act to follow.

But the industrious Girls of Suicide did it.

Set by set.

Climbing into our hearts.

And making us fall in love with them.

First was @aiki on Dec 15, 2003 with Soft and Sweet .

She is definitely one of the most special models to have ever graced...

Did you know there’s a multi-girl SG set featuring Lemmy (Motörhead) and Dave Grohl (Nirvana)?!?

Apparently not too many do.

The set only has 540 likes.

And it’s been out for about 20 years.

But let’s talk first about the GIRLS that make SUICIDE special.

Starting right at mid-year of 2003, things got going in earnest when @lennon released the beautiful sepia-toned On Stage on...

The second quarter of 2003 saw SG really emitting showers of sparks.

For three days in a row, superb sets graced the website:

Gauntlet by @lotus

Ahoy by @sadie

and

Fall Asleep by @bettie

There was lots of red hair and black brassieres on Suicide Girls in April of 2003 (and I’m a fan of both).

Lotus’s Gauntlet has both. And what a lovely, lovely...

By 2003, it gets difficult to cover a large number of sets—because the volume of sets (and the pace at which they were coming out) seems to have increased significantly.

So I will start with the first three months of the year.

New Year’s Day got off to a bang with a glam masterpiece entitled Gumball featuring the very talented @elara .

This set immediately...

After four months at the end of 2001, SG rolled into its second calendar year: 2002.

The site hit a groove.

There was consistency.

Familiar faces.

And a regular pace of new models.

But things really started heating up in the summer. That’s when @al , the busty queen of 2002, debuted.

She had three excellent sets in 2002, but the first was Bathtub —a...
