The perils of approaching a subject in its isolation—without CONTEXT—are very real.
And so I thank @kiley so much for her comment on the previous chapter.
To paraphrase her excellent filling-in-of-the-gaps, “Hopefuls had always existed”.
So April 2007 wasn’t such a watershed period for SG as I thought.
One distinction is that there was no “tag” with which to classify Hopeful sets.
So, yes: THAT was indeed new as of April 2007.
But I shall not get too down on myself.
Rather, I shall push onwards into May (and only May…for this installment) 2007.
One thing is certain, by May 2007, there were a FUCKLOAD of sets every month from both Suicide Girls and Hopefuls.
So let’s see what the gals were up to in the summer of ‘07.
Being an aspiring writer (hello!), I was quite taken with Beat Generation by @mirah .
Nice rack!
And beautiful, brown aereolæ abound in April Sun by @eostar .
Taking the title at face-value, this one was hot off the presses!
And you simply MUST see the fantastic pair of titties on @missydoll in Drunk Mess .
Very nice!
Then we come to some sort of Rosetta Stone.
I’m not sure of whom these photos are.
Could be Clara. Could be Rapha. Aile?
Anyhow.
Check out SG Clara by @rapha_aile112026 .
Presumably, she wanted her SG name to be Clara if she went pink.
But it appears that she did not, in fact, go pink.
All that aside, this is a rather cool set!
It’s almost like a resume.
A CV.
A greatest hits.
And I, for one, DIG IT!
One of my greatest gripes on sets is that they become monotonous (literally) from their beginning until their end.
There are few SURPRISES.
The dishes lack SPICE.
And FLAVOR.
But that is not a problem with SG Clara.
We get all sorts of lighting.
A menagerie of angles.
Multiple costumes.
So just remember, gals: YOU CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT IN AN SG SET.
The only limitation is your own IMAGINATION.
And don’t be afraid to hire an ART DIRECTOR for your sets.
What would an art director do?
They would GIVE YOU SOME FUCKING IDEAS.
You don’t want your set to be boring.
You want it to be EXCITING.
BOLD!
An art director, likewise, might do such stuff as design sets for you.
And build sets.
They could be simple.
You might even get someone to VOLUNTEER to do this.
Further, you could “hire” a costumer.
They could even hit a thrift shop (or costume shop) for you [depending on your budget].
Personally, I don’t give a fuck about make up.
If you don’t look good without make up, you probably have no business being a model.
I see a lot of SG sets where the budget obviously went to photography (good expenditure) and make up (a bit of a waste).
Look at the early SG girls.
2001.
2002.
Think they were sinking money into make up?
FUCK NO!
That is the spirit of Suicide Girls.
Embrace your flaws.
Get PUNK.
Ugly beauty (as Ornette Coleman said).
One final suggestion in this diatribe: consider hiring a LOCATION SCOUT.
Ok, fine. Your couch is really nice.
And the natural light from your window is lovely.
But GET CREATIVE.
The shower is fine.
Yada yada.
Kitchen is good.
But really try to PUSH THE ENVELOPE.
THAT is what opens people’s eyes.
THAT is what causes us average schlubs to go, “Wow!” [tip$ (cha-CHING!)].
Well, that and a great pair of tits…
Which brings us to @suri and her VERY STRONG set Faster Pussycat .
This is pure mammary magic right here.
But we aren’t all as blessed in this department as is Suri.
Which is why we have to get CREATIVE.
I adore @femi ‘s lovely little breasts in Deity .
Great photography and color scheme which brought out her bold areolas!
How about a really pretty face?
And great hair??
Look no further than @kitz356083 in Favorite Dress .
Doze bangs, dough…
I love ‘em!
What a cool, bold hairstyle!!
Alright, now for a set I tipped a couple of days ago.
[please remember that you can tip many of these classic sets and models]
Let us now praise famous perfection of Arcane Asylum by @daria .
As a breast man, this set gives me urgent cause for immediate institutionalization.
It’s that good!!!
But May 4, 2007 was not done with its goodies.
Gaze upon the equally-perfect Dusk at the Concorde by @lolo .
Sorry, Lolo.
I was a bit skint by this point.
After tipping new models and classic models and SG girls and Hopefuls.
I slunk off to eat my bowl of Alpo after tipping Daria.
But YOU, dear readers, should ABSOLUTELY tip Lolo.
What a fantastic fucking set!!!
And what better time to pay homage to the wonderful Roseanne Barr than now?
Gaze upon @bully in Meets The Connors .
Fabulous breasts and knuckle tats??
Yes, please!!
If you need an AMAZING areola close-up in your life today, dig on the mandarin-orange artillery shells that @litaraye is packing in Buck Wild .
Wow, those nipples POP.
Great model and great photography!!
I really dig the natural beauty and naturalistic setting in Country Love by @paizlie .
Well-done!
Hard to ignore the sagging perfection of @ariadne202879 in Lounging About .
I like my breasts how I like my cars: LOW riders.
If they ain’t saggin’, they’re too small for me.
And now we come to a momentous moment in SG history: a set which appears to feature REAL BLOOD.
Kudos to @spectrastarr for getting freaky in Spectra’s New Piercing .
Not exactly my cup of tea, but certainly notable.
I’m much more of the “close-up of a perfect breast” school.
And that’s exactly what we get from @zombette in Taking a Bath .
I also dig the process photography experimentation in this one.
Cool-blue.
Very engaging!
For beautiful breasts, you simply must visit @talulah in Girl Interrupted .
A very strong and enjoyable set!
But let’s kick it up a notch, shall we?
Kicking TONS of ass in Enigma Set 1 was @enigma .
How the FUCK did this gal not go pink?!?
The world may never know…
But perhaps it was because she was competing against even more-talented models than herself?
Of whom do I speak?
None other than @sune in Meet Sune .
Yes, ass men…this butt’s for you.
After six years, SG produced its FIRST GREAT BUTTOCKS SET.
And this is it.
I’m not an ass man, but I would go over the river and through the woods for THAT hiney!!!
Ok, back to boobs.
Dig on @dali643113 in Jilted .
These heavy assets are well-worth seeing.
And check out her creative use of a hand mirror!
#vagina
Do you need to fall in love?
I need to fall in love.
If you are gonna fall in love, fall for @knitzy in Cotton Candy Skies .
I mean, come on!
What’s not to like about this gal and set???
Stupendous!
But when you don’t look like Knitzy, you gotta get creative.
So “big ups” to @samus for trotting out the Warhol in Mac Attack .
I mean…
This gal looks good.
And the creativity is FUCKING ADMIRABLE.
So I, for one, am a Samus fan.
You go, gurl!!!
In fact, the main difference between the Knitzy and Samus sets is BUDGET.
It’s fucking obvious.
And as a lo-fi musician myself, I FUCKING SYMPATHIZE.
But we can’t just sit around on our asses waiting for our ships to come in.
We gotta MAKE SHIT!!!
Buttt, if you are indeed my ship…and you are trying to “come in”, Call Me .
I think that’s what @sammy was trying to say in Call Me.
Either that, or she had a cool, vintage phone and wanted to get her pose on with it.
Either way, Sammy looks like a million bucks here.
I mean, come on…let your fingers do the walking and hit that link. Visit Sammy’s set. And tip her. She’s hot AF.
Ok, now we come to the Air Force, the Luftwaffe, and the Armée de l’air of SG models: none other than thebomb.com —> @ember in her best set (?) Goes Grunge .
Ember is an ABSOLUTE FUCKING STAR and she proves it once and for all with this set.
But let me point out an awesome detail that was in vogue (after this set) in May 2007: ribs.
Don’t be ashamed of your ribs.
Ribs are sexy.
That being said, I like my gals with plenty of meat on their bones.
More cushion for the pushin’.
But Ember shows exactly why she’s a miracle from GAWD in this set.
This lovely lady has breasts that will blow your feeble mind.
But she ain’t fat.
Check out the picture 5 from the end.
Tits and ribs.
Good gawd, y’all!!!
It don’t get any better than this.
Did you think I was kidding about ribs?
I wasn’t.
The very next day, @roane hammers the point home with her cagey masterpiece Park Place .
Her ribs are the secret weapon here.
They are right in your face.
In almost every shot.
But they aren’t ostentatious.
You’re staring at her tits.
Meanwhile, her ribs are doing all the work.
THEY are what’s making her boobies look so good.
Da Vinci is rolling in his grave—itching to come back and sketch the supremely-fit Roane.
You truly MUST see her set Park Place.
But soon we would hit a whole other plane/plateau with @giulia .
Sky of Amethyst has everything.
Tutu tulle.
Poses that are good enough for Vogue Italia.
And those goddamned titties!!!
Giulia has messed up my mind with this set.
I be scrambled.
My gray matter is pink.
And my pink matter is grey.
Bookmark that motherfucker!
Ok, 4 more.
# Four
Beating Lady Gaga to the punch by THREE YEARS was @bebe in Filet .
Bebe looks FUCKING AMAZING in this set!!
And dig that ghostly lighting.
And then there’s the fantastic use of raw meat.
I totally understand everyone’s complaints about Morrissey.
I love The Smiths, but I can’t stand Morrissey.
You’re telling me he doesn’t eat a good steak now and then?!?
What a disgusting, repulsive position for Morrissey to take.
Makes me ashamed to be of English ancestry, by God!
# Three
Here’s a confusing one.
It’s ostensibly pictures of someone named Drew, but it is posted by a member named @foxydaisy .
Anyhow, I really dig this set Drew: Urban Red !!
Whoever that gal is, she has FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC titties!
Give it a look!!
# Two
More ribs and sucked in guts.
Except this gal ain’t got no gut.
Rib cage insanity goes wild in New York Doll by @mshellchild .
I think Johnny Thunders would have loved this one.
But you can’t wrap your arms around a memory…
So we move on.
# One
Finally, we come to the set that ties it all together: Cute as a Button by @tea .
I love the shots of her on her side.
An underexploited angle, that.
And a great ass shot in the penultimate pic.
So there you have it.
In May 2007, that’s what really tied the room together.
White Russians all around!
