SG is about sex and porn and beauty, but I think it's also about art and creativity, both in what the girls do to their bodies and what they do with their bodies. The preliminary work Viking shows in her blog posting about her brilliant new front page set, Black Rocks, just reinforces my feeling that this set isn't solely about one-handed pleasure; SG is just the venue she and her photographer, Benten, use as an outlet for some real, honest-to-goodness ART!



Art is always affected by context, and in any other context than a site with the reputation of just being abut pr0n, this set would be discussed and appraised -- positively or negatively -- in regard to its goals and execution. In addition to the obvious erotic appeal of the set, aspects of it would be discussed in terms of artistic merit, such as:

• the clarity of the photography and the framing


• the muted palette, subtly echoing blue tones in the skin, the rocks, & the final sky


• the model and her enigmatic expressions and poses


• the intriguing choice of clothes, jewelry, and the dramatic dark makeup


• the choice of location with its moody lighting and it's wall of iron bars reminiscent of prison


• the story, with its hints at legend & folklore, without blatant recreation of any one particular myth


• the ending frame with this lovely, dangerous, naked creature crawling towards an unknowing town

This set really caught me with its combination of the familiar -- a cold and cloudy day at the ocean -- and the strange -- a gorgeous girl/woman with pale-to-translucent skin, large shark eyes -- dolls' eyes -- and electric blue hair. The set touched on something archetypal, reminiscent of all the tales of mermaids, and sea-sprites, and sirens whose erotic charms are impossible to refuse even though we know them to be dangerous... maybe even deadly. Heat in the groin and a cold shiver down the spine.

None of this denies the pure erotic pleasure of seeing this petite, curvy girl displaying her charms in the open air. There is not a part of her body that is any less than perfect, from boobs that Goldilocks would approve of, to that heart-shaped ass, flawless skin, and candy-tipped fingers and toes. I can imagine her skin and mine bearing the indents of every rock we rolled over on that beach, every fleck of rust on those iron bars, every drop of wetness that was salt-water or sweat or some other shared secretions. And I can imagine that she would leave me satisfied yet lifeless, just another one of her victims/lovers scattered like seaweed on uncounted beaches.

My tastes normally run to the bigger women -- PSWs, BBWs, and what have you. But beauty like that presented here transcends taste. I guess it wouldn't surprise anyone who has read this far that I think Viking's set is probably the best set I've ever seen on SG. Thanks, Viking & Benten for creating such a fantastic piece. Now what are you going to do for an encore?
