[Edit] Just got my email from Stephanie and I passed the first stage to becoming an SG! Rock on! Now to get my first set shot and sent in. I have several ideas for themes, I just hope I can get the props/supplies necessary to do them.
Not only that, but I also want to clean some things up physically. Now while I'm not really large in size, I'm not as small as I'd like to be either. I want to clean up my eating habits and start really taking care of myself, after all, I have to put my best face (and nekkid body) forward. I'm not doing the self improvement thing specifically for SG, but more SG is my inspiration to want to try harder at what I've been trying to do for the past several years on my own. It seems I have a better driving force when I have an incentive to do something. Ha, don't we all?
Hopefully Randy will get his job at Adelphia and things will finally be just peachy. Then I can quit my shitty job and focus on other, more important things! His interview is on Wednesday, keep your fingers crossed. [/Edit]
I finally applied to be a SG on Saturday. But after reading this thread in the SG Hopefuls group, I'm beginning to think that maybe SG isn't the right place for me to model.
Why? Well, it was mentioned that SG's need to turn heads. Assumingly meaning, the pink hair, piercings and tattoos are what turns heads. Because lets face it, the only way you draw attention is either a.) because your drop dead gorgeous cheerleader type or b.) you have modifications (such as the hair, ink and holes) to draw attention to you. I am neither of these types.
But you know what? I tend to spark other people's interests because they just have no clue what the hell is going on in my head. I'm quiet and often wear things that other people don't. Sometimes I even do random acts of craziness that make people wonder what drugs I'm on. But that's just who I am.
I agree with the point of the post. Many people are asking why their sets are being rejected, when its often plain to see that the pictures were taken in bad lighting or at bad angles or even the theme of the set has been done 10+ times. Then we have girls just being told they "don't have the look". Well, guess that's me! I don't have crazy hair, I don't have the tats either. Last I checked, I didn't know that it was a requirement (and I'm pretty sure that its not anyway). My point being, I thought I would never hear another SG or pretty much any member on this site, for that matter, telling someone else that they don't exactly fit in. I thought SG was about strong, sexy, unique women. Just because I lack the body mods, does that make me less of a 'unique' person? I don't think so, but then again, I'm not the owner of this site.
Anyway, my hopes of becoming a SG have just been bombed. Even if my 1st application is accepted, I'm going to beat myself down because I will feel I don't fit in and I'll have to step it up 110% to prove my worth. Though I'll probably do that anyway since I'm a perfectionist to the core. That and maybe get those body mods I've been putting off for the past few years.
Perhaps I have taken that entire post out of proportion (because you know me, I over analyze way too much) but I guess we'll see what happens.
On a different note, work sucked today and I'm so glad to be home. Too bad I have to do it all over again tomorrow.

I think SG is attitude and not just a certain stereotype...you have the attitude...the uniqueness...I think that's what it takes for SG type...Strong Sexy...unique. You said it yourself. I don't have mods up the yang...I have but one current tat...but I know my style is different, always was from my days as a bike messenger to being a nurse now! So, I am saying it is the person...that makes it SG...Go on and give it a shot!!
