"I heard from the rumor mill on SG that messaging you and Missy and Rambo would probably result in me losing the chance at ever being Pink, but I'm okay with that. I know you're probably getting FLOODED by messages like this, but please. Just a moment of your time. As you can see, the site is in a total uproar over the firing (or laying off) of Lorelei, Daryll, and other great Photogs who have actually been a large staple of this site for as long as I can remember. But please, reinstate them. They are all fantastic photogs, and some have even gone out of their way to find better places to live to shoot SG's. Like, Lorelei for instance. She has been talking about finding a great place for MONTHS to shoot, and she actually found a new apartment that would make for stunning SG sets.

Without a lot of the staff Photog, SG wouldn't be as popular as it is.

However, if the problem is in fact financial, then here's a solution: Please. Stop buying the same old sets. Speaking from both a fan and a Hopeful perspective, people come to SG because they want to see different girls. But the sets that are getting bought are of the same-old-same-old girls. Girls that deserve to go Pink, and SG's that have helped make the site what it is, but aren't getting bought are the REAL reasons people come to SG. Don't get me wrong; seeing you and Ackley and all of the original SG's are fantastic, but really, there are a LOT of SG's and Hopefuls that people want to see that are being overlooked, and thus, costing you money. I know you're aware of a lot of unhappiness amongst SG's, Hopefuls, and Members. Correct it. Start choosing sets with more diversity. That promote the TRUE meaning of Alternative Beauty. If you want to cut loose anyone, cut loose the SG's that haven't been active, but are still having their sets bought.

And think about it? How many of us Hopefuls can actually AFFORD Alissa? Not many. Yet you have Lorelei, Daryll, and other Photogs shooting for free. Dedicating HOURS of time in front of the computer, editing, listening to bitchy complaints and the like.

SG is about to take a HUGE hit, but I'm telling you, that can be corrected simply by looking at what the Members are saying, REinstating the Staff Photogs, and accepting more diverse sets. And I'm not even talking about race-wise. The problem is also that you also allow members to choose; that's not always good, given some members will hit "Not for me" simply because of skin color, lack of tats, hair coloring and the like. This has to be corrected to. Please, just take a moment and rethink this decision that's most likely going to end up costing you money as opposed to saving it. Think of the Members who have been there since the beginning. Think of the Hopeful Photogs who spend their time editing sets and hoping they can one day become TRUE staff Photogs, and think of the Staff Photogs who made SG as popular as it is now.

Nevermind that now SG is lowering the membership rates! More people are getting access to our badassery and they don't deserve it. If anything, RAISE the membership rates. I know men who would rather have their water cut off than go a day without seeing their favorite girls.

I know I have stepped out of my boundaries, and I'm ready to accept the punishment, even if it means never going Pink. But, Rambo, please. Understand. Take a look at the site and see how the decisions are affecting Staff, SG, Hopefuls, and Photogs. SG hasn't been a happy place lately. That has to change. Thank you for your time.
