People are such A**HOLES

I wasn't going to comment in the actual thread because I didn't want to kick off anything, BUT... fucking hell some people's criticism on "hopeful" sets are fucking horrible! Those of you who are also in the hopeful group probably know what comments I am talking about.

IMHO SG is about different kinds of beauty. Yes, that often does include airbrushed images of perfection. Some of the girls on this site are positively stunning and perfect (again, IMHO), and have perfect bodies and suchlike (IMHO). But there are just any many girls, who don't have what I would deem a "perfect" body and who are still beautiful and wonderful in their own right (and anyhoo, who cares what I think is "perfect". Who the fuck am I???!).

Basically, I joined SG because I wanted to be a part of something that celebrates different kinds of beauty. If I wanted to see mainstream stuff, where everyone is airbrushed to a mm of perfection, then I'd buy FHM or one of those mags that celebrate that kind of beauty. If Suicide Girls want to do sets that wouldn't look out of place in FHM / Loaded/ Hustler/ whatever - great, good for them. If they don't, they don't. I don't see why the whole fucking site has to be about the kind of beauty that you see everytime you walk past a newsstand.

Now, I've been thinking for a while that I might like to do SG because I think it would be really nice to celebrate how I look, now that I am at a point in my life where I am relatively happy (well, no one's perfect) with how I look. And looking at some of the comment's on this site, one particular hopeful's set (poor love - she was so nice about it too) makes me not want to do it. Now, I'm probably being overtly sensitive, you're always gonna get people who are like "man, you're beautiful" and others who are like, "sweetheart you need to get thee to a gym pronto!" and I don't have a problem with that. I'd never concern myself with those douchebags! BUT... saying this, is just fucking out of order:

"Now the not so easy part...this is a site for HOT naked girls. There is a zero percent chance you will be accepted as an SG, honey. You are just not up to the standard and somebody owes it to you to let you know before you waste more time on another set like this one. I don't wanna hurt your feelings but you might as well know sooner rather than later."

Now I'm not gonna say which Hopeful this is aimed at, nor who posted the criticism. But... I would've thought that someone who obviously understands the importance in sets that something like GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY can make, would know not to attack a women personally for how HE THINKS she looks in the set. Fine, encourage a hopeful to do some flattering poses, wear some nice underwear that makes them feel sexy, but attacking a girl and telling her she has NO CHANCE because IN HIS opinion she's not hot... is a douchebag thing to say. If you don't like the set, maybe the photography isn't great, maybe she looks uncomfortable, whatever; but telling someone they're not hot, that just makes you a douchebag! Right?

Surely, I'm not alone...

ps: anyone wanna give me some advice on how to shoot a great set - so I'm not on the receiving end of these kind of comments? Love you forever!!!! xxx
