Notice the progression. The blog starts out with pictures of me alone and then a few girls then by the end a ton of girls....
The thing that's pretty cool is that I would not know NOT ONE of the people in these pictures if I had not become a Suicide Girl. And now, many of these girls are my best friends and will be for the rest of my life! So thanks to SG for all of the amazing memories and friendships! Girls that have been there for me to listen to me cry and cheer me up through the hardest times of my life and girls that have been there to laugh with me and make memories when things were great.
I am really looking forward to the next 3 years! SG really is what you make of it. So if you're sitting at home not attending the in real life events and not getting to know the amazing people associated with this website, you are truly missing out!
Another cool fact is that my new set, Flower Child, went into member review on the exact day (August 20) that my first set went live! A pretty cool coincidence eh?!!
Ok, so here we go........with a trip down memory lane!!
I have to go back a little further than 3 years to where my journey with SG first started.......Here are the pictures that I sent to sg when I applied to become a Suicide Girl.... Looking at them now, I can barely believe this is me...I've changed and grown so much in 3 years.
February 2006-
March 2006-
Next I found out that the beautiful and talented Lorelei was going to be in Ohio shooting sets and I asked her to shoot my first set.
April 2006-
I anxiously waited to see if my set got accepted. Back in those days there was no member review. You either went pink or you didn't. I remember wearing something pink everyday hoping to bring myself luck.
My birthday came and my hubby went with a pink theme hoping to bring me luck in going pink
I guess it worked cause I went pink and went into limbo. I still remember how excited I was! I had to model my new sg panties
May 2006-
I attended my very first Hell City in Columbus, Ohio. Who would have known that within 3 years Hell City would become something that I couldn't imagine my life without. And that Durb and AlissaBrunelli and Tony who run Hell City would soon become my best friends.
That weekend, I shot a second set with Steve Prue (tmronin)
Sunshine....Of Her Love, that went live 3 years ago today.
