So after 2 months of living in the flat, we finally get the internet today! Except, we didn't, so i'm sitting in my mum's kitchen writing this blog instead.

I've had an incredible year and a bit on SG, and i realise I never celebrated my SG anniversary, but it doesn't mean I forgot. I met some amazing people, photographers, members, hopefuls and SGs and I believe that SG is one of the best things I have ever done.

some of the highlights from my time here:

the pictures i submitted to SG in my application form
i barely recognise myself underneath the backcombed hair and bad foundation, but i remember being so happy, and so determined:

my first set, and the first time I was ever naked in front of the camera. I got to meet akemi that day, and I was in awe. She was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen up close, and that just made me even more nervous, but incredibly determined.

the night i met bow was pretty unforgettable too. keiko posted that she was having a party, so in an effort to make some new awesome friends, i posted that i'd be driving down if anyone wanted to hop in with me. bow responded and a wonderful friendship blossomed. it all started with a gift of a large princess cake, some strongbow, a few near accidents, a conversation about sex tapes and some maryland cookies and now she's one of my closest friends, and the bravest girl i know.

It was time for a new set, so I shot again with akemi





but, with no luck in MR this time.

in the meantime, i met kit and the lovely hopeful Sharyn, who got naked all over my couch. I gotta say that was one of my highlights

there was a Brighton meet, and a few lakeside/ bluewater shopping trips



and then there was the charity breast cancer photoshoot, which was amazing



and before I knew it, it was time for another set, this time aided by the very talented ihsanphotography



and again with akemi



and then there was the music video:



and the nativity shoot:





and Brighton Tattoo convention was one of the best weekends of my life, because all of these girls were just incredible. we ate party rings and sold the site with all our hearts.





and i shot my super sexy multi with abbiss



who i fell in love with the moment i met her.

and since then, I'm left with some incredible memories, some of the best friendships i've ever had, and a real community to turn to for support. I am so proud to be a suicidegirl, and this site is the best thing to ever happen to me. so thank you, all of you wonderful wonderful people x
