Greetings from Las Vegas to my faithful followers, loyal friends, and random stumble uponers.
Yes! PINK MAGIC is back! Sorry it took so long to write it again. But I'm changing the format. It's no longer a WCW blog. I have found my higher calling, at least here on SG.
It took me quite a while to come up with renewed reason and motivation (not to mention life slowing down enough to afford me the time) to write PINK MAGIC blogs again. A couple of months ago (could be more than that), @sean started a thread in the SG Hopefuls group - Hopefuls with 5+ Sets in Member Review. And not long ago, one of my favorite Hopefuls blogged about her, hmmm, frustration might not be the right word, but it's all I got, with the SG selection criteria and process. She took down most of her sets and is cutting way back on producing content for SG, concentrating on creating content for her Patreon page and elsewhere. It took me until now to put 2 and 2 together and come up with this idea.
PINK MAGIC will now feature only Hopefuls who have (or did have at some point) 5+ sets in MR and see if we can't turn some of these worthy and well deserving ladies PINK! Some of the Hopefuls I'll be featuring have been featured in PINK MAGIC before, but some will be new to the blog. I'll only be featuring one Hopeful in each edition of PINK MAGIC. I may not write one every week and they may not come out on Wednesdays, but I will continue writing them for as long as I can, or at least until I run out of Hopefuls with 5+ sets in MR (or as long as I continue renewing my SG membership).
I was going to start this renewed series off by featuring @nebula, but she has a new set coming out soon (it might be out by the time I post this) and I want to wait for it before featuring her. She'll be featured in PINK MAGIC VOL 2.2. So, the featured Hopeful in PINK MAGIC VOL 2.1 is...
@leemalee_
She has 6 sets in MR, but I am 99.99% sure she's taken many down. At one point it seemed link she had a set release every month. She has several more in the queue. She's been a Hopeful since 2013*. @leemalee_ posts regularly and has more than 6500 followers. She's also a photographer with 4 beautiful sets in member review.
I think she embodies the spirit of SG by the fact that she's started creating cosplay sets for us to enjoy, and a lot of them. It hearkens back to the early days of SG when the ladies were creating and submitting cosplay and themed sets with some regularity. @leemalee_ isn't the only lady doing more cosplay sets. I am seeing more ladies creating cosplay sets, and it puts a smile on my face. I love the old sets!
Here are a few photos from her sets.

ABOVE: from her set, Leave the Saving of the World to the Men? I Don't Think So, shot by @5footphotography | The Incredibles is my favorite animated movie of all time. So it's only natural that I love this Elastigirl cosplay set.
Her sets always do well in terms of ❤️s and comments.
If you want to see more of @leemalee_, go support her on Patreon page. And you can also get teasers from her sets and the beautiful ladies she photographs on Instagram - @missleemalee.
@sean, @missy - Won't you take another look at @leemalee_ and buy one of her cosplay sets to feature on Cosplay Fridays? They and @leemalee_ are certainly worthy.
* Hopeful may or may not have become a hopeful in the year on her profile page. SG uses the year joined on profile pages and it never changes. So hopefuls may have started out as a member and later decided to apply to be a hopeful.
Stay Tuned,
