Hello SGland!
@missy @rambo @lemon @eirenne
Wow...what a crazy year this has been! It is hard to believe we are going into November already. I feel like it should still be September...this year is passing by so fast!
I always feel so bad when I am not on SG more often...I have taken quite a big break this time around...concentrating on work, things around my house and upcoming events...not to mention this whole pandemic thing has taken a big toll on everyone including me (essential employee right here!). I love coming on here and seeing a whole bunch of amazing sets come out by the SG's and hopefuls....some new hopefuls and some longtime ones. I also enjoy going into the SG hopefuls group and seeing which of my fellow hopefuls have turned pink. I have to say, this has been a great year for hopefuls! So many have turned pink! Some insta pink, some pink within a year or two and some (which happen to be my favorite), the longtime hopefuls.
I'm going to start off by saying that I know for a fact that I will have forgotten to mention some longtime hopefuls that turned pink this year. I sincerely apologize if you are left out!
This year started out pretty normal I would say. I was ecstatic to kinda kick off my year by going to a shootfest quite a ways from where I live.....my first where I had to actually get on a plane to go model....the New Orleans shootfest that the wonderful and amazing @starphire and @sairyn helped coordinate and make happen. As I have said in previous blogs, NOLA was never on my list of places to go to....but I thought fuck overthinking about things...in the words of Nike...just do it....and I did. I wanted to shoot with all the photographers that attended the shootfest, but I was already spending money that I knew would put a little hurt on my bank account. I had wanted to shoot with @filicity because her work was amazing and I knew that one day, her talent behind the camera will be recognized...and I was super excited to shoot with her (and by the way, she REALLY IS amazing and the sweetest <3).
I had the best time ever in NOLA and returned home thinking damn I definitely would go back...then COVID hit and started to get serious. No more shootfests....quarantine....wear a mask...social distance. I thought it would end soon but it seemed to keep getting worse. My chances to do more sets and work on my dream to turn pink was fading.
In order for a hopeful to turn pink, one of their sets has to be bought and then becomes Set of The Day. When I joined on here, that was the only way to turn pink. Then, SG introduced a monthly contest on OnlyFans in January called "Choose the Next SG." This was yet another opportunity for hopefuls to turn pink. On a few occasions, I would see some long time hopefuls (3 or 4 more years) in the running. It seemed like this contest came in the nick of time for COVID!
Towards the middle of the year, everyone was getting so sick and tired of quarantining and not being able to go out and shoot sets, that SG came up with the self shot contest. Another chance for hopefuls to turn pink! And not to jump ahead, but many self shot sets, not just those by hopefuls but by SG's as well, have been chosen as Set of the Day! I find this wonderful because it helps knowing that you can have a wonderful set that is loved by many...and you shot it yourself during a pandemic....when hopes are down...it is uplifting to know hard work pays off.
As I continued to look at the "Hopefuls who have turned pink!" thread in the SG hopefuls group (sometimes I looked a few times a day), I saw more and more longtime hopefuls turning pink....during this whole pandemic and quarantine. It got me thinking that maybe, despite everything, this was the year of the longtime hopeful turning pink, Not many new sets were being uploaded or shot for that matter, and all everyone had on their hands was time for awhile. I feel like this year, many longtime hopefuls got a second chance....new sets came out and people started looking and saying holy shit...why isn't she pink??? And many got back on the radar. Hopefuls like @bristole @star @annanymph @mclovinn @ilana @alikatt @dafne @felicity @brizelll @skydot @kelyfox @knivy @rosescarlet @liasunmoon @creeepy .....many long time hopefuls this year turned pink (and I know there are some I forgot)....I couldn't believe it. The most recent onlyfans contest also showcased longtime hopefuls.....I was so happy to see my fellow longtime hopefuls get a chance to show their amazing work again.
I want this pandemic to end just like everyone does, but if I can say one out of a few good things that came out of it, longtime hopefuls got another chance to have their dream come true in some way. Sets they may have thought were forgotten about finally got bought.....a recent set they did finally was the one that turned them pink. I am so very happy for all the ladies I mentioned on achieving their dream. To my remaining fellow long time hopefuls...we are still sharing the same journey and we are in this together...we will keep trying and making more amazing sets! We can't give up now (even though yes I have felt like it will never happen).
I'm going to end this blog now because I will keep rambling lol....but I just want to thank all the members, SG's, hopefuls and above all, SG staff for taking another look at some of these amazing women who have gone year after year wondering when their time to turn pink will be. I hope one day my turn to be pink will happen, but until then, I can be happy for all the amazing babes, long time hopeful or not, for having their dream come true <3 <3
