@sdawg74,
How were you first introduced to SuicideGirls?
Between 2005-2007 I lived in California and participated to a few editions of the AIDS Life Cycle fundraiser, a fun 7-days bicycle ride from San Francisco to L.A. to spread awareness and raise funds for the LGBT community. I've met a few girls from Portland who mentioned being part of SG somehow (sorry I forgot the names and details).
How did you come up with your SG name?
That was my nickname in the lab where I worked at U.C. Berkeley. Like, my name is short, but the lab tech used to come up with nicknames anyway, so I was Sash, the S-Dawg... and 74 is my birth year.

How long have you been an SG member?
On and off since 2012 according to my profile, but very active and supportive since 3-4 years really.

What do you do for fun in real life?
I am sure people know this based on my own blogs and spamming of the music groups, but I like to support local bands, heavy metal only, so I go to a lot of concerts and local live music clubs. I share my "new findings" in the music group too. Sharing is Caring, right? Otherwise I like biking, hiking and take nature/landscape photography
Have you met anyone from SG in real life?
Not yet, unfortunately. But my dream (will) come true is to attend a concert with @amoxi; would love to ride my bike with @nebula (she is a true force of nature, she is the embodiment of the true fighting spirit, nothing breaks her, she can move mountains) and a fun trip to London with @lioncourt, just to name a few "bucket list" items I still need to accomplish.
What do you want people to know about you?
I may not look like one, but I am introvert. I was once given this definition and I loved it so I am sticking to it. Introverts need time alone to recharge the battery, extroverts may do the opposite and surround themselves with people to recharge. Apart from that, I am shy at first encounter, but a true goofball once I get comfortable around new people.

What is your favorite feature on SuicideGirls.com?
It used to be the sets, definitely in the past. However in the past 3 years or so, the groups are a lot of fun. I like supporting as many people as I can, hopefuls and members alike, with kind words, they are free, so why not, right?
~
Do you have a favorite photoset? Why or why not?
What do you love most about being a part of the SG community?
Like many others said, the supportive atmosphere, is maybe the one side that stands out; there is already so much intolerance in the world, and SG is more like an ecosystem where members feel safe, appreciated, supported and nurturing. To "belong", is something we all seek one way or another, and this "sense of belonging" to something greater than us, is a strongly ever present "feature" of the SG community.
How often do you visit the site?
Daily, usually, if I am not traveling for work.
~
Who are your favorite SuicideGirls and/or SG Hopefuls?
The list is way too long, but I tend to favour those who take the time to thank members for their support, who are active partakers in spreading the good vibe.
~
If you could share a meal with 3 people from the site, who would you choose?
This may sound boring, or weird, but I'd chose three members of the staff, because I love hearing the "old stories" motivating the creation of the company, the "BTS" things you learn during a meal convo, so... @Missy, @Rambo & @Penny?
~
Who is your SG Bestie(s)?
I would say @metalfreak; he is the only one always liking my spamming in the music group (insert many smileys)
Do you have a dream SG set you hope to see happen one day? (Models, theme, location, etc.)
A multi with @Eirenne and @baby would be explosive!!!
~
What part of the site do you visit the most?
Likely the (music) group...
