Oh I looove this homework, I have so many things to say about my amazing girl friends, so brace yourselves !
Thanks to SG I made lifetime friendships. I met amazing, empowering ladies that inspire me everyday and I will be thankful my whole life to this site for this. They help me fight my insecurities, support my work and me in general, we talk all the time, create projects together, travel together, spend time together and I cherish that, I really do. We're all honest, loyal, supportive of each other and it's the best thing in the world. I'm so lucky, you have no idea. So lucky I even have TWO squads of wonderful women <3
My french squad !
It all started when @celine, @shamandalie and I decided to work together for SG ! We created a group chat to plan the whole thing and haven't stopped talking to each other since then ! it was such a sweet week-end that I'll never forget :) We shot our first two sets (Something's got a hold on me and Undisclosed Desires that are still in MR) with Celine and first one with Sham (Le chant du cygne that made it to FP).
Then I met @vehera also to shoot a set in Brittany that we didn't submit but we became very good friends and hanged a lot (we even went to Japan together in October ! How awesome is that ?). We shot another set at a french sf (that is still in MR and that I love very dearly and for which I still have hope, paon de jour)
Then I met @wilhelmine to shoot a set (yes again haha) that you'll see in MR in 1 months and 2 weeks ! We clicked right away the 3 persons group chat became a 5 persons one haha. We speak everyday !
I love the fact that we're all super introverts, feminists, creative gals. We get each other, we don't have to force things, it just works and when we argue we resolve things super quick by communicating and being honest because that's how real friendship works. We share the same values and it's just so relaxing to be around such understanding, like-minded people.
@vehera is a badass, tall, silver haired babe that will always speak her mind and will never apologize for who she is. She doesn't care what people think about her and just do her own thing and I truly admire her for that. She's a globe-trotter that creates beautiful pictures of all her adventures (you can see them on her IG : Lovers on the run) and has an awesome shop, if you're into framed butterflies and curiosities, check it out ! I have so many awesome items from her haha : La bête noire)
(from our set Internet famou$$ still in MR)
@celine is a kind hearted, generous, loyal, foxy babe. We all have fiery temperaments and she'll always be the calm, composed one that will try to fix everything and I truly admire that ! It's amazing to follow and be part of her SG journey and I'm so, so proud that she turned pink thanks to a set of ours ! I always believed that she would make it and now that she's getting back into photography and shooting babes soon, I can't wait to see the pictures she'll create !
(from our set L'étude des liens that made her pink !)
@shamandalie is a cosplay goddess, memes master, socially awkard, talented babe. The fact that we're both tauruses makes us understand each other on another level haha. I love how sassy she is and how she deals with everything with class. She's also a fellow ravenclaw and it really shows. She works hard on everything she starts and it always pays. Aside from her awesome sets and cosplays, she makes super cool pins (I also have several items from her shop) that you should check out and buy ! The pastel paw
(from our set Welcome to the hellmouth that will be on FP soon)
@wilhelmine is a fierce, elven, painfully honest beauty that seems to be capable of anything ! She decided to change her life to follow her values and dreams and I really admire her for that ! She's crafty, she loves armors and fantasy and is always down to create awesome sets and is super dedicated to it ! She'll always speak her mind and will fiercely defend her friends and what she believes in, no matter what people think. She's fearless in that sense and I love that about her (and she's also a ravenclaw :D)
(from our set as sane as i am that made it to FP)
I love you so much girls, you have no idea how proud I am to call you my friends <3 Knowing that you have a squad that'll always got your back is the most treasurable thing in the world, really.
My uk squad !
This one started when I was invited to my first ever sf in London by @fische that I will never thank enough for ! I met amazing ladies there too and the SmutGang was created. It was like, 5 years ago so the details are a bit blurry but I know that we never stopped speaking after that ! We went to several weddings of the gang, hanged, shot, laughed, cried, got drunk together and I know I'll always feel right at home anytime we reunite in the UK <3
The first time I met @snowy she treated me to a burger with money she won at the casino (she had just got back from a trip to the US) and we spent the night getting to know each other ! She became such an amazing friend of mine, I can't begin to describe how awesome she is ! You really gotta know her IRL to get it <3
This was when @lucerne and I became wifeys ! I miss her kisses and hugs <3
All these were taken before and after @totem's wedding ! Such amazing memories and the best wedding ever with @chibbi's one <3 @holley, @chibbi, @reuben, @snowy, @skye_, @naiser, @del, @fische
A photo I took of my dear @finella when I visited her in Scotland ! It was such a magical time, I can't wait to go back !
I love the SmutGang to pieces too ! Little people would create a Gofundme to help you buy a new camera after yours was stolen in a pub. It happened on my last day in London after the SF I was telling you about ! I'll probably always mourn the sets I lost that time but the friendships will forever remain ! This selfie was taken by Snowy in the night bus after the camera was stolen ! They got me massively drunk and I was sleeping behind her :'D
I don't have a selfie or photo with @pixel but she was the one that created the crowdfunding and helped me buy a new camera and I will never be able to thank her enough ! She took care of me when I was a hangovered mess the day after, what a precious babe <3
Thanks to SG I was able to travel and meet so many amazing women and I can't wait to meet more !
