As we discussed in the previous chapter, May 2006 was a miraculous month for Suicide Girls. The metrics that are visible to members (such as “likes” on sets) went THROUGH THE ROOF.
What caused this sudden phenomenon where models started getting 10,000 [sic] likes per set? Simply put, I don’t know.
It’s tempting to credit one model, such as @ember (who was doing such great work during this period), with taking SG to the “next level”. But there were other models, such as the amazing @mary , who were also getting an astronomical number of likes on their sets beginning about May 2006.
So the next question might be, “did this level of member connection and adoration persist?” Simply put, yes: it did.
June 2006 (and beyond) saw these unreal numbers stick around. So let’s see what was making members gaga in June 2006.
White Tile by @alexsandria got a breezy 5000 likes. No big woop.
Seriously, though: this is a very special set with a very special pair of breasts. Wow!
But I am even more enamored with @fawn in Light Test . Pretty fucking perfect!!
But we always need creativity…and @fanny was ready with Literature and Revolution .
Ass men, check out the pic 11 from the end.
Holy sheet!
And those fishnets…
If you love voluptuous women like I do, you will want to see @seneca in Indoor Sunshade .
Great use of color.
Blue dress.
Orange background.
And the orange really brings out the pink of her nipples.
Fantastic work!
Speaking of pink nipples, you must see @tsui in Sakura Tsuis Castle .
So divine!
One set from the period that is still underrated (to this day) is Lost in LA by @alsana .
This underboob masterpiece has everything: phenomenal breasts, luscious ass, you name it!
Also noteworthy is Under Wraps by @adalynn .
There is something simple, yet artful about this one.
Amazing poses.
A good photographic eye.
This one wouldn’t be out of place in an art museum in Philadelphia or somewheres.
I think Marcel Duchamp would have dug this.
Check out beautiful @melika in the super-fun Pink Goodbyes .
Such a pretty gal.
I dig her hair in this shoot!
Ok, how about something edgy (literally)?
Smashing the patriarchy one dish at a time is @bunny in Shattered China .
Ouch!
Careful with that ax, Bunny!!
Alright, who likes classic rock allusions?
Well, I certainly do.
So kudos to @lorelei for her cosmic cowgirl set Grievous Angel .
This one has a sort of magical haze to it.
Gram Parsons would have loved it!
For all you grease monkeys out there, check out @darby in Engine Work .
Yowza! That gal is a HOT ROD!!
Now for a set that really resonated with members—the naughty genius of @adria in Bedtime Reading .
Check out pictures 13 and 17 (counting from the end backwards).
17 is on top of 13.
What an exciting combo.
I wonder if that stacking was intentional?
Suffice it to say that we are treated with both heads and tails in Bedtime Reading.
Well-done!
I like Doppelgangland by @willow , but mostly because of that last shot.
Such verve in turning the camera (or model) upside-down.
And couple that with a scream that would have made Munch’s blood curdle.
Such an artistic touch!
When it’s summer and you are missing autumn, check out the lovely physique of @tez in Fallin Leaves .
I adore those big, beautiful, pink areolas!!
Stunning!!!
One thing you’re gonna get from SG occasionally is some “fuck you” pit hair.
It’s not really my thing, but the breasts on display in Oh So Trashy by @kore make me instantly forget everything and anything.
My mind is wiped clean by these magical boobs.
Holy moly.
Powerful stuff!
How about some god-damned patriotism ‘round here?!?
Damn right!
Check out @winnie and her red, white, and blue in Bomb Pop .
If that ain’t the mother of all bombs, it’s damn close!!
That’s right.
It was July 4, 2006.
And the “coalition of the willing” was waging the war “on” terror.
But some good things did, in fact, come out of that morass…such as the exceedingly-lovely @rye in Backyard BBQ .
Hell yeah!
I’m ready for another tour of duty after seeing that set!!
And how’s about that mint-green lingerie???
Immaculate color choice by Miss Rye.
Alright, now for the set that blows the ass out of my pants: Gummo by @aiki .
Spaghetti? Check.
Milk? Check.
Bathtub full of dirty water? Check.
THIS SET IS PERHAPS THE GREATEST SET IN THE FIRST SIX YEARS OF SUICIDE GIRLS.
Only thing missing is the bacon Scotch-taped to the wall. But I will forgive Miss Aiki that slight oversight.
Otherwise, this is pure fucking genius.
God damn…
How to follow that?
Well, @anarchie did a GREAT follow-up with Luchadora .
I really dig this set a lot!!
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
It’s @saffi with My Doorbell .
Holy moly, she looks awesome in this!!!
We haven’t gotten back to @jennrose in a bit.
And you will definitely wanna catch Some Extra Credit .
A very creative set with a truly special model.
A++.
6000 likes (so far).
Another divine set is Yellow Brick starring @nikoll .
Very inspiring stuff!!
And check out the tit ink on @ambermarie in Bedroom Locks .
Ouch!
That must have hurt.
But I can’t say I’ve ever seen that particular tattoo concept before.
Really cool!
I think Léo Delibes would have adored @lakme in Metrosexual .
How about the shots where her boobs are pushed together?
Those are my favorites!
Good move!!
Time flies when you’re checking out the magnificent @velvet in Tempus Fugit .
This set has 5000 likes (so far).
Very excellent!
I’m a big fan of @charley in Of Yesteryear because she employs what I feel to be one of the most powerful devices an SG model can marshal: the CLOSE-UP.
And here, she gives us a whole new twist on the trick.
Care for an ELBOW close-up??
Yes, please!!
Best shot in the set!!!
But it’s pretty hard to beat the angelic pixie @korento in Naked Yoga .
Stunning, stunning stuff!!
If you wanna see an amazing pair of boobs, check out the lovely @christina in Brooding .
Very impressive!
Alright, we need something different.
Something that tells a STORY.
How about @ribena in Accident ?
Le père fondateur Alfred Hitchcock would have loved this set (as would have Truffaut).
Formidable!
Alright, time to push the envelope.
How about @lillithvain in Gets the Hose Again ?
Not sure if Silence of the Lambs reference, but this set is PACKED with eroticism!!
One hose in her mouth and another down her top? Yep.
Two hoses—one sucking on each nipple? Yes.
What about a hose sneaking in the back door? That too!
In short, a thorough hosing is had by all.
And, seriously, I wish more SG sets were like this.
Talk about “helping out” the imagination of viewers.
Jesus Christ…
Gotta have some cute.
Gimme gimme @malloreigh in Mod Club .
I love the close-up of the little crescent moon under her left eye.
So pretty!!
How about a set with 6000 likes?
This one deserves every one.
It’s @scarlett in Dirty Dishes .
Every once in a while, a model is gonna take the brand Suicide Girls really literally and pseudo-off-herself in a set.
That’s what @pill does QUITE ARTFULLY in Velena .
Definitely an edgy set.
Though it looks like she has overdosed on Tic Tacs (which then necessitates her final death by hanging).
Kinda creepy.
Kinda hot.
Definitely a trope that will never go away as long as the site is called SUICIDE Girls.
Ok, let’s end it off on a happy note: @jezabel in Urban Picnic .
Jezabel has all manner of fruits here and she isn’t afraid to use them!
Wonderful colors.
Lovely playfulness.
An excellent set with which to end this installment.
Tune in next time when we delve into the heady days of autumn 2006.
Till then.
