I really wanted to like this month.

December 2008.

And I did.

But here’s the thing: while it has some it exceedingly-strong sets, it also has a massive amount of fluff.

There is no courteous way to put it.

But this is all subjective.

And, as always, I am going to focus on what was BAD ASS from this month 15 years ago.

Perfection landed...

Exactly 15 years ago.

What was SG like?

Let's find out together.

Putting The Cunt in Country right out of the gates was the enormously-endowed @suri .

It's hard for me to not give this set a perfect rating.

Suri looks awesome.

But the concept and photography are not as epic as the model.

Even so, breast men should check this out fo sho.

Let...

Big fan of of some of the bands

Thank you, brother @adam_bovary 🙏 I wish Neil Young was back on Spotify, but closest I could get was Dinosaur Jr.  I love them.  Saw them live when I was a kid.  Beatles always great.  Absolute legends 💯

Praise and accolades are only meaningful when contrasted with criticism.

Which is to say, October 2008 was another dreadful month at SG.

I am basing this tough assessment solely on the photo sets.

But, as always, the mission here will be to focus on WHAT WAS GOOD THAT MONTH.

Let’s get into it.

First, I liked Loves Me Loves Me Not by @amarie : her...

Just wanna give big ups to a great member of the SG community: @kungfury 💥💥💥

This fella is a writing juggernaut 😱

And he’s been doing a bunch of cool movie reviews.

So if you love movies as much as I do, go check out the spooky movies he’s been writing about.

And give the fella a follow!

He’s good people 💯

Oof.

Suicide Girls was definitely in a lull in 2008.

What makes this site go?

Members.

Members pay the bills.

It ain’t a charity.

What makes people become (and continue to be) members?

Great photo sets.

Hot photos that can’t be found anywhere else.

What makes great photo sets?

Great models.

Great photographers.

Great concepts (ideas).

Then there is, of course, the stuff behind the...

I hate to be a downer.

August 2008 was probably the worst month in SG history in terms of creativity and model quality—the worst month since the site’s inception in 2001.

But I’m gonna focus on the good stuff.

First was @sharissa with The Mirror .

If you’re into big ol’ titties, check this one out.

More reflections soon thereafter from @seizure in Mirror Mirror...

Put on your suntan lotion and get ready for a scorching month.

It’s July!

2008.

The first set I tipped yesterday [sic] was Red Telephone by @mao .

The chairlady absolutely long-marches all over this perfect set.

Check out the photos both three from the end and five from the end.

Astounding!!!

The second set I tipped yesterday [sic] was Hard Candy by @amberlynn ....
