Hey there SG
I want to take some time out and share my experience with sg and thank all the awesome people I've met. I'll have to apologize in advance...I am writing this on my phone in the shower haha so there may be lots of spelling/autocorrect mistakes.
I am going on my 2nd year of being a hopeful (April 2015 will mark my 2 year anniversary of joining the site as a hopeful). It's been a craze ride full of anxiousness, awesomeness and amazingness....if that's even a word ha!
I had followed SG for awhile prior to deciding to become a hopeful. I've always loved the tattoo culture and girls who could rock being the "alt" type....mostly because I didn't fit in with the "normal" folk. So seeing these women helped me feel better about myself. Then came the day when I said I could do it.

Now....when you're making that decision of getting naked in front of millions of people...it's scary. This is one reason I don't use the "not for me button" (which I've written other blogs about) I know what courage it takes to put yourself out there. It is scary...terrifying even...when your first set hits. Heck...I still get anxious when my sets come out and I'm going to be on my 6th one at the end of the month!! It's just the fear of the unknown. Are people going to like it? Is this one "the one"? For me....I get obssessed checking the sets everyday for the first week they are out to see how they are doing. And every time I load up the site...I get anxious again...but then I see all the wonderful awesome people who are supporting it and I just get happy.
And that's where it comes to you...the members, the other hopefuls, the SGs. I could write all day about my experience and feelings but I've already done that in past blogs and my SG experience isn't just about me...because without the members and others....this wouldn't even be anything.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...SG isn't just nude pics of women. It's a community full of all sorts of different people. People from all over the world and different backgrounds and yet we come together and are able to get along in a community that really is free of judgement, hate, and all the awful things we all come across on a daily basis. Go outside the actual site and look at instagram...the amount of hateful comments left on the SG page is disgusting....and they are made by people who aren't part of this amazing community. They have no idea what it's really like....what SG really is.
I would have never been able to go to awesome events like the burlesque show if it wasn't for SG. Or get recognized on the street....which is my favorite thing. I love meeting the folks here in person. They tell me that meeting me has made their day...but in turn it's done the same for me. Someone who has read your blogs and seen your pictures....and vice versa..it's like you already know them. So when you meet it's like 2 old friends saying hello.
So with that, I'd like to recognize a few members who, even though I haven't even met some of them in real life, have made my experience here amazing. I truly enjoy the comments and conversations we have. I know I won't be able to list them all....so please...if you aren't mentioned, that doesn't mean anything. I'm just winging it here....but if I have ever liked a comment of yours, talked to you private messages or even replied to a comment you've made....then please know that you have made my experience here worth it.
@wizard0 I enjoy all your comments. Your active on my page but also in groups and support many other girls. You are the "perfect" member. A genuine kindness. You always have something nice to say.
@softnsweet and @lewolf Two of my very first followers. You both have supported me throughout and I couldn't be more grateful. You are wonderful. Thank you for the sweet comments always....not only on my page but also on all the girls you support.
@treuntas Ha! Your profile pics always make me laugh. Your wit in the silliness group knows no bounds! I always catch myself chuckling at what you've said. And our private conversations...I can't thank you enough for your support with some person issues. We don't even know each other personally and you've put yourself out there for comfort. It's always nice to have someone to talk to....even a stranger...who can see a situation from the outside. Thank you.
@_finklestein_ I know you are struggling with depression. I have your comments in the groups regarding your struggle. And I hope some happiness will come in knowing that you've put a smile on my face with your encouraging words. I'm glad by me posting pictures from my sets on Instagram that it convinced you to finally join. I hope yu will find peace here and know that the members will be forever supportive in helping you cope with whatever ales you.
@pax_ I have met you in person and you I love you. I just want to thank you for being my friend and being understanding with everything :)
@moregraffiti You are another "perfect" member. The constant support you show to all the girls here is amazing. You've made my SG journey even that much better. Thank you.
@bnviking Another one of my first followers. Thank you for always supporting me and others. Your kind words are truly inspiring.
All of my vegas girls @lucid @bradley @bixton @myca @oliviablack for showing me what true friendship is. For always being the sweetest. I love you all.
There are many others...I would love to list them all but that would take days! Thank you to EVERYONE...all the amazing members who have become part of this community and keep it awesome.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making SG a welcoming, caring, and awesome community. For making it more that just BOOBS and BUMS (even those are a huge plus). For making it a place that not only I, but many others come to seek comfort from the outside world.
Dec 31st my 6th set will release on the site. A personal set that means a lot to me....and what you may not know is that it was a way for me to cope with my sisters sudden death. It's in honor of her...and way for me to express my feelings at the time. I don't think I could share those feelings with anyone else but you guys, thank you for that.
XoXo
