Good afternoon, friends…Romans [countrymen].
As Van Gogh said, “Lend me an ear!”

And with that we trudge on into April of 2011.

A month that didn’t blow me away.

But also didn’t make me rush for the “cancel my membership” button.

It was a good month.

Not great.

Not horrible.

Maybe above-average.

But WE shall focus on the good, the great, and the perfect.

There’s...

It was a pretty strong one.

Here’s the fun month of February 2011.

It probably won’t blow you away with excellence, but it also likely won’t bum you out.

It was a good month.

Let’s check it out!

First we got @chronika in her only Hopeful set Knitting .

This one gets good about 13 snaps in.

What a delicious pair of shirt puppies!

But taking it up a notch was...

Let’s rock.

Last month (Dec. 2010) was a little weak.

This one improved.

Not by a whole lot, but I’ll take it.

So let’s delve into January 2011.

Things got good when @akuma dropped Graveyard Tavern .

No worry.

I can be satiated by some lovely ink.

Akuma has...

History is a form of accounting.

Storytelling, yes.

But also of taking stock (a stock-take…I make it sound so fun)…taking things into account.

Ah, there we are.

You can be damn sure that those who run Suicide Girls NOTICE when members cancel their accounts.

The natural question would be, “Was this month really that bad”?

Quality-control.

Trends.
