Get ready for what was possibly the best month in the first eight years of SG.
A website started in 2001.
The month was April 2009.
But it didn’t start out very auspiciously.
It had me worried at first.
The first real sign of life was Retreat starring @chachavavoom .
I just gotta say…the Hopefuls KILLED IT this month.
Absolutely laid waste!
And it wasn’t...

I was a bit worried about this month.
March 2009.
It started well enough.
But then kinda dropped off a cliff.
However, while not as strong as the AMAZING February 2009, March was VERY STRONG.
Let’s get into it.
First up was @lucida .
She was a Hopeful who only made one set.
And it’s a good one!

This is it!
THIS was the month that SG RESURRECTED itself!!!
After about six months of mediocrity, the website was returning to the quality of its storied past.
The month was February 2009.
This resurrection got underway thanks to @prussia and her inspired set Ghost World .
This one is really well-done!
Check it out.

Yeah, they are gods to me…for real, @littlejohn22 💯
bob_dylan:
Aw, yeah, man: ever since I was about 14 and that first Rev album came out. They’ve never stopped being my favorite band, @silentobjectorx 💯 So glad somebody know about them other than just me 😂😭
2009 started much the same way 2008 ended at SG.
To my eyes, it appears to have been a bit of a rough time for the site.
This slump started about mid-2008.
However, we are gonna focus on the good stuff.
First off was a perfect set by @izmerelda entitled Cottonwood .
This was her debut set.
And it is the only set she ever...
