Though the century might be off, I think Prince's "1999" is very fitting right now. It might require a few lyrical changes to fit the times and feel a little more century appropriate, but the purple suited little guy has a point that's as timeless as the song. Love him, hate him, or be somewhere a little between like me there is no denial that the man has cultivated some amazing recipes that resound in the music we hear on the radio right now. This opinionated fact (an oxymoron, I know) is merely a way to say that we need a theme song blasting in the background because Suicide Girls just blew my wig off and left my heart palpitating on the floor with a little less creep factor than "Tell Tale Heart" by Poe. There should be no guilt from the likes of @sean, @rambo, @missy, and the SG HQ crew because I signed up for this when I slapped down my credit card and said "let me pay you so I can be part of an exclusive community of beauty and brains, talent and love, weirdness and humor, and all the little things between."
I talked privately with a few and heard some public rants by others about robberies, sickness, and all sorts of goofiness that went either full tragedy or might be somewhat laughable after some days pass and we look back on the stupidity of the moment, but however great or horrible your own 2019 started there is zero doubt in my heart or my mind that this will be your year to rise. Every superhero tale starts with a tragedy and I've seen the strength of character that many of you have as you've risen from cute girl next door to music video vixen or headbanging hottie in the basement listening to rock music on vinyl to superstar SG with about a bajillion followers that would do almost anything for an ounce of your positive vibe. It's not easy to turn the other cheek when the sh*t goes down, but for as long as stars remain in the sky and plants provide oxygen to breath you have the chance to stand beside those stars and shine and steal away the breath of boys and girls across the world. This is only the beginning, but it's your time to rise. I'm pointing to you @diamant, right at your pretty little head @marlene, and the biggest hugs are mailed your direction @nayru, with the rest of you in queue for hugs and love (at the very least) from yours truly.
Before I dive into another epic post and steal away some of @kungfury's thunder from the storm his post created earlier today I wanted to offer quick congratulations to a few girls gone pink. The biggest shout out goes to @lagoona for being one of the most beautiful souls and biggest hearts to welcome my rambling as I littered her with compliments over her bright smile and gorgeous eyes. If she wasn't already promised to someone I swear I would swoop in and steal her away because she's been supporting me from early on while I was getting back on my feet in my first months back and she always found reason to be positive even under the darkest of nights. She's deserved this since well before I met her.
@aurralee brought @reign into the fold after bringing @fleet into my sight and it was only natural that her recruits go pink so when I saw this babe with a little Shake Junt groove go pink I was ecstatic. I don't think she realizes exactly how much of a crush I've developed on her thanks to a specific shark loving (by @shaine) soda pop drinker (@lady). Guess that means @vampyre is next to go pink and her @sarahmoon set is destined for front page, right? Until then I'm going to not-so-secretly continue to admire all @reign's prior sets with blushed cheeks and sad sighs that such a girl is neither in my arms nor within expedient driving distance.
We haven't really talked, @missbonesxtc, but with the notoriously gorgeous @jacqueline backing you and the beautiful @thimeow behind the camera it was destiny that you turned pink and earned a SOTD so quickly. If only I could find a girl as beautiful as any of you three to love and cherish for my life I would consider myself probably the luckiest dude to walk this earth. I'm proud of you!
Let's not forget @sirena who not only supported my posts and created content steamy enough to heat my bath waters from across a PC monitor, but she almost quite literally said I was cute at one point and my heart bubbled up with joy at that moment. It took a little longer than I would have expected but I did send a copy of Wildfire (@andreasciero) to Santa when I mentioned I would love to find a girlfriend for Christmas or shortly thereafter. He sat around for a while and drank the entire gallon of milk and all my homemade cookies so I had none left for my family, but still he didn't leave a smoking hot Brazilian under the tree like I hoped. Santa might be a bastard, but the New Year Baby (or whatever the mascot is) delivers wishes and at least granted one pink status while I patiently wait for my own selfish wish to be granted. 😏😅
Did I almost forget @caelyx as well? Oops! Though I could easily see @just_sick's Freckled Peaches on the front page, @leemalee's treatment (photography) was so heavenly that I swear red and purple are my favorite color combination from now until the end of time. That's not to say her abs and freckles didn't catch my eye because even with purple as my favorite color to bias everything on I absolutely love Peaches and secretly wish Vancouver was my home if it meant being the boy next door to this girl. Damn!
The sets:
@discordia in Teacher's Pet by @saria
She's seen as many hair color changes as she's seen years fly by. She looked just as cute with a mere 3 (if I'm not mistaken) simple tattoos as she does with the currently coated canvas. I'm ashamed to reread my simple comment of admiration from 10 years ago, but whatever emotions leapt from my heart back then still ring true to this very day. She's a long standing beauty that barely looks a day older than her 10 year younger self, but she readily dispenses a confidence of maturity only years can grant such a beautiful and patient soul. She could challenge a goddess of beauty and win with a smile just as easily as she could flash a little cheek and turn red the cheeks of any boy or girl catching a glimpse of such sweet bum. There is no one quite like her in the world and every hat, beanie, purple strand or blond lock of hair that topped this sweet cherry of a dream felt the perfect fit. I know I've mentioned many times that there is no "perfect" in the sense of being an ideal situation, but when it comes to being the "ideal you" with as many mistakes as passions and as much beauty as emotional or physical scars then @discordia is but the most beautiful purveyor of what so many of us could achieve with our heart set to an equally strong stride.
"I always want to give some elaborate commentary on how @discordia always wins every moment and steals my heart whether she smiles in a selfie or involves herself in sets like this one shot by @saria that leave me with butterfly nerves and twisted tongue, but I always fall short. There is a sexiness matured to perfection much like a proper aged wine within every pose, her eyes lit up with glowing embers from a fire started well before most of us ever knew her name, her lips capable of a smile that could melt hearts like an ice cube under a hot Brazilian sun, a sincerity emitting through every pore, an honest and humble nature lingering upon perfectly sculpted cheeks framing those lips that whisper a tell to make anyone fall madly in love. Her hair braided in ponytails that scream equal parts schoolgirl and dangerous heartbreaker, her poses an ignition for bonfires ready to burn the fingers of anyone remotely thinking of clicking the "I Loved It" button and most hands wishing they had more than 10 fingers to burn by doing so. There are few and far between that could chance a rival with someone as beautiful and sexy as she which only makes my heart grow fonder and race faster as I flash through the images quickly over and over until minutes become an hour and the exhaustion sets in from a heart that ran it's marathon over the course of falling (yet again) in love with this dream so fierce I almost continue to believe that this heavenly body is anything but real only to pulled into her gravitational wonder that leaves me in a tailspin." - from my own commentary.
@redkaya in Wanna Cherry? by @natalia_randle
I've been sporting my #TeamIvy shirt for a while now along with one of my dearest friends I'm happy to call a brother, @ropers71, and though I've been ecstatic to see the gorgeous @alenagzhel turn pink and continued to love every @ivylina set dropped this year (and past) there is one girl that @ivylina herself actually turned me on to and that was @redkaya. I never could create a post quite like @ropers, to be honest, and deliver the whole of #TeamIvy because I'm just not that good (or smart to connect all the dots and remember some of the simple things), but I've always been happy to support the individual ladies in posts over this past yea. Though Ivy herself is a smashing individual that held quite a few conversations with me early on this year earning my love and admiration for a lifetime, I've more recently had the chance to chat with this lovely individual behind the scenes and I've only fallen more in love with her since.
She's created some beautiful content with @natalia_randle this past year (or so) and with each set appearing more mature and even more beautiful than the last she finally struck the toughest string in my heart to pluck. I would have gladly fallen in love with the blue haired cutie pie twerking to any beat she found suitable, but with lips as red as the sweet cherries she delivers to her mouth and the gentle waves in her hair matching sweetly the curves under he cute black bodysuit I could only continue to wipe the nervous sweat droplets from my forehead and try to think of the very normal conversations we've had behind the scenes. After more thought, however, I realized knowing her that much better only made these butterflies flap harder and longer than they would have over a girl that was simply "cute". She surpassed herself with this set and is a definite flagship for all of #TeamIvy to follow, but no matter how long it takes her to turn pink or wherever she sees herself in 5 years or 50, she's someone I'm proud to call friend now and hope that status never changes.
"There's nothing quite like baking up a sweet treat in the kitchen for a friend, but when that sweet treat is @redkaya and she comes topped with a cherry and zero effort is required by the self-proclaimed baker that just entered her line of sight then let this sweet tooth embrace the cavity magnet and forever toothache. Berries and fruits are a weakness, a treat sweeter than any candy but in the hands of a red-lipped Russian that smiles like a star that shines upon darkened waters to guide lone sailors then this ship sails forward in hopes of discovering @natalia_randle's little treasure that she mapped out beautifully before us. I loved the sexy little Twerk Workout, felt my eyes freeze upon the curves that wore that bodysuit just right, and my heart felt like the stunt doubles in a Bruce Lee film after taking a trip with her to Asia, but now this sets speaks to my heart in a way I could never forget and I'm almost glad it's merely a set because I would surely melt like frosting left out in room temperature... a sweet melted mess upon the floor that someone is going to have to clean up." - from my own commentary
Let's see her (along with @killer_katrin) turn pink and make #TeamIvy proud. #HelpHerTurnPink
@durazno in Sun Shower by @fromlimbo
Who knows gorgeous better than the delicate eye of @fromlimbo? She happens to be a very beautiful sight herself when she's not snapping pictures. Though the photographers themselves deserve a little more credit from members I don't believe many realize just how amazing they are behind the talents that gift us such pretty images. I won't enter rant mode and rave about her now, but I felt it necessary with a new year ahead, so many new girls gone pink, and everyone already having a few troubled stumbles into the beginning of this yearly cycle that begins again.
I am so very sorry she didn't make it onto my final blog covering the remainder of the 2018 sets, but there are viable logistics to waiting as long as I did because my mind reaches a limit of both beauty and awakened state which would have meant a less than worthy confession of her beauty. Most of you are familiar with my love of purple which I've already mentioned at least once in this post, but well beyond my biased gratitude for the lovely shade that tickles my passion and leaves me giggling with love and joy is a tea drinking dream that I could only imagine would hold an equally amazing conversation. There are people that drink tea and coffee and people that have a passion for a good brew of their choice beverage, but the latter tends to be a person of greater intellect and passion leading way to conversations that could last for days on end. I've reached ahead of myself with this one but you get the picture, right?
There are exactly 55 shots in this set that make me fall in love with this cutie and her perfectly steeped eyes that offer a most flavorful gaze. Her lips creating a most whimsical smile and her petite frame looks beautiful under the sunlight. This ideal weekend of sleeping in, relaxing naked in bed, and drinking tea is the type of love affair in every sense of the word(s) that I need in my life about now. I'd even settle for replacing the beauty with a good book, but we can be honest and say @durazno is what makes this fantastical moment the most beautiful part of being alive, am I right? 💜
@fay and @fishball in See You Again by @frani
I would riff off the yellow dress Belle wore in Beauty and the Beast or the sexy way @leemalee wears yellow in her recent set (you can read all about my obsession with it HERE), but the truth is this "Beauty and the Beast" follows a different type of story if Beauty was a succulent peach sweet to the core and the Beast was a sexy tattooed habenero that'll twist the tongue with fire while making your eyes well up with tears. It's not a Disney themed set, but either of these girls would make a prince out of any number of us were we the lucky ones they called home. It's pure fire and ice under a different lens, heated to a perfection and delivered right to your thoughts.
I could rave about @fay herself as if the words of a single admirer could stand out among the 5, 6, or even 7k hearts that feel exactly the same. Every moment her blue hair tickled my fancy or smile lit my path, every glance into eyes so beautiful they must be dream incarnate. Her petite frame bigger than life and reflecting light from the sun as if she were a star actually reflecting light off the surface of a cold planet. She may not need the fawning of a heart poetic for her beauty elating round and round what she must hear on a regular basis, but yet I still stand among the sold out show and smile for the spotlight she earned.
@fishball, too, one showered in love as she delivers her talents behind the camera to bring us amazing views of every models she shoots and gifts us the glory of her eyes that could grant dreams, her body a goddess of love and lust colored with stories and interests from years of adventure and work. I am but one word watching from in front of the stage when so many have cheered her on from behind the stage watching her grow and become the rock star of SG that she truly is.
Thus rounds out the final sets of 2018 with this second (and last) beautiful entry.
@karanlit in Hebe by @ayah
"If there were a human that could walk tall as a goddess, exude the youthful energy of Hebe, express their beauty and love as Aphrodite incarnate, and still keep their feet close to the ground and heart open to the human weak of knees to her prowess then her name would be @karanlit . Honestly, she always has the most beautifully colored hair, the most commanding yet humble eyes that share the blue openness of the skies above, and expresses herself with creative magic, hard work, and natural beauty. Piecing together every little stitch in costume, posing in form with a beauty as epic as any story in Homer's trilogy, and always leaving my heart both aching for a love such as hers yet fulfilled with a love such as hers I cannot be anything but overwhelmed with emotion and left to swoon with exaggerated form as @ayah releases these images from Mount Olympus to worshiping eyes and hearts." - from my own commentary.
Backed with a creative mind and talented fingers to build any costume or muse any heart into an artist's dance she really is one of the most beautiful humans to walk these earthen planes. No matter which colors stream throughout her lovely locks or which pose inspires tied tongues and stuttered thoughts she is but beauty pure. As The Last Queen of Egypt (@coolicio) or a Southern Belle (@lady), this Foxxy (@darishka) lady is the definition of a true goddess unlike any we might imagine. Whether she were to Send Nudes or remain forever fully clothed falling in love with a smile that could bend the knees of Gods on Olympus and freeze time with eyes so blue she is one that will always be first in line to be given my heart on bended knee. She may not walk taller than us as she remains more humble than you might believe, her heart open to yours if you merely ask, but still she remains a beacon, a star, a guiding light of what any of us could achieve... and her hand is open to take you along.
@allis in Je T'aime by @aymi
She first kicked her way into my heart with K.O. by @saria, but not long after @fishball, @frani, and @mel_z delivered sets that finished the combo and left me reeling on the floor. She may have one of the most beautiful bums on SG (no offense, ladies?!), but besides her amazing legs and thighs drawing me in during her Chun-Li cosplay I found the sweetest and most tender eyes draw me into a world that felt perfect. In her gaze the world felt like a beautiful solace away from troubles and filled with more than enough love to fuel an immortal relationship beyond conventional thoughts of love. Her jawline and very facial structure a perfect mesh of sweetness and strength, a confidence shining in her smile whispered below closed lips.
Love is a lot more than grasping tightly the thighs of a partner and orbiting their space, but rather a study of their orbiting essence, penetrating their heart to feel the pulse of their core as it exposes what was once a secret and now shared joy. I say this because it doesn't require proximity to the lovely @allis to see her beautiful core shining through eyes of mocha shades and refracting of those earthen jewels to provide a warm embrace by her spirit. I could just as easily speak of curves that hypnotize my thoughts, but she has become one of the few I love to look past her eyes and strip away the exposed flesh to see a heart that grants me inspiration to feel emotions on a level that does not happen often. My words may rarely reflect that truth as I am oft speechless in her presence, but it doesn't require @fishball's touch to enter deeply her person. In fact, the soft set featured here shares a bit of the warmth provided by @mel_z in Still I Have the Warmth of the Sun, the soul of Deep Feelings, and some of the sweetness of Once Upon a Time. I could barely choose a favorite set the more I fall in love with @allis, but this one is love at it's finest moment.
@phianixx in Girls Don't Like Boys, Girls Like Gin and Gaming by @niallpatterson
You took my hand and launched me into space, dear @phianixx. There are so many stars that even under a clear night sky it's hard to watch them all as I dream and wonder what each must be like up close, but you found me and lifted me up to a place that I still don't believe I am yet worthy. Your words and appreciation as you looked down on me reciting poetry to each individual star that caught the corner of my eyes an unexpected surprise. There are many stars that rise to share their light with lost sailors or offer dreams to lost boys when not fighting Captain Hook, but you chose me, set the edges of your warmth upon fertile ground to share humility with a simple man. We may be different yet so much the same, live so far away but our shared conversation is as close to heart, you touched the sky as you touched the ground and as such one of the brightest stars in the sky you made yourself.
How could a personal experience with a beautiful model of slender form, ink covering curves and smile shining so bright to encourage the use of shades describe this set? The theme of gaming and gin pointing to references of stars and being a humble soul? Even beyond the "boys" thought of immaturity or the playful taste of gin and video games is a neatly wrapped surface for a deeper personality trait. It's a search for stimulation guised under common grounds, a sense of sharing control by being under full control of dreams and life itself. Though words will not perfectly describe that which emotions define from surface to core this isn't a story about what "girls don't like" but rather a love story of who we are. I know it makes the slightest sense even to me as I type out these words. I feel that presence that reached out to me is omnipresent in this set, the guiding hand and kind soul offered in smile and distracting female form.
There's a star that sits among us behind gamertag and with glass full, but a star nonetheless. An intelligent and loving hand simplified to a haiku when the prose is as long as life itself. I hope, in some way, this makes sense to some and moreso hope this tribute is as honorable as my intent to make it.
@nixy in Rose Water
I lied. I forgot one last set from 2018 and before I decided to end this post for the night I wanted to make sure 2018 closed out right. Just because I mentally fumbled and had my own timeline stretched out much like a child pulling on Play-Doh doesn't mean she's any less deserving or forgotten than any other girl here. Much like the perfectly titled A Pretty Face she has an adorable look that left me speechless from the beginning and If You Love Me, Let Me Know was a beautiful sequel to which I professed my love over every curve, drop of ink, and reflection in gorgeous eyes. Her we take a dip in rose and vanilla infused waters to calm the nerves and inspire a bit of romance as we trace her curves before they sink deeper into the waters and the only sight remaining is that face that shall forever (beautifully) haunt my dreams.
With a mostly neutral color palette and a bit of voyeurism, this beauty gets a chance to shine behind delightfully bright eyes and sensuous warmth. The vanilla and rose scent almost coming right through the screen to linger under our noses.
I wish I had a little more time and the caffeine lasted a little longer, but I'm sure this blog was long enough to keep most of you busy until the next one so stay tuned for (hopefully) one "last" post before I take on a photographer of your choosing. My life starts to become busy from here on out but I can't pass up the 6 bookmarked sets left out of this blog (plus possibly a few more over the next 24 hours). Stay tuned and enjoy your night. More to follow soon.
@kungfury, I'm not done stealing a few more from you yet! 😉😜
Next up: @nastyaveter, @goldmoon, @morticiaann, @avrora, @torie, and the big Russian multi (@akril outdid himself!)
Love,
Xander
@rambo @missy
