50 chapters…

I’d like to thank my mom, my agent, God, my publicist, my lawyer, my accountant, my personal assistant…gosh, I’m sure I’m leaving someone out…this was so unexpected. You love me—you really love me…

The month was September 2009.

Not a great month at SG.

Not a horrible month either.

Getting it going was @vampyric with her debut Hopeful set Girls and Their Toys...

You might be currently freezing your balls off, but join me on this trip back to the hot August nights of 2009.

It was a good month.

I would call this month a continuation of the Suicide Girls “golden age” which began earlier in 2009.

Kicking off this shimmering month was, ironically, a class BLACK AND WHITE set by the lovely @shotgun entitled Loaded Like...

I am happy to report that July 2009 was a good month.

Not the best of times, perhaps.

And certainly not the worst.

So strap yourselves in and toast your chestnuts to some summery T & A from 15 years past.

First moving the needle was @raynne in A Million Ways .

It’s a nice, notable Hopeful set.

She didn’t go Pink.

But this was...

Crack open that bottle of gin.

Tear open that pack of smokes.

It’s New Year’s.

And we are looking at June 2009.

14 1/2 years ago.

2009 was a sort of “golden era” at SG.

But this month (June) was undeniably a clunker.

Ah well.

Not every month can be the best.

Rather than make fun of the fake tits and lack of creativity (as...

I think we have found the “golden age” of SG.

I am comfortable saying that April 2009 was the best month in the first eight years of the site.

And the next month was pretty fucking good too!

So let’s get into it.

The first to bring the pain was @contessla with Puss ‘n Boots .

The title is literal.

Some good wet photography in...
