I apologize for my absence, my friends. After a bout with sickness and a period of feeling uncomfortably numbed with a weird depression I believe I've found some of my mojo. I can only apologize for the lackluster commentaries I've left recently that coincided with the time frame, but I wanted to attempt to ignite my brain as well as leave some love pretty quickly so we could possibly see a few of the sets go SOTD in the meantime. I'm back now! So let's skip right into some amazing sets because I have too many to cover and not enough time to do it in. I would beg forgiveness at this point, but actions speak louder than words and I think y'all would rather see some lovely ladies than listen to me make excuses. Am I right?
@gnomi in 1up Girl by @tripodski
I'm sure most of you remember her from Pokedoll (@loxleyheart) which is still a highly underrated set, in my opinion. Not only is Loxely an amazing photographer, but the set is ridiculously cute. Little known fact, I became "Jash" after working at a comic convention one year when some of my friends that were previously dubbed "The New York Girls" decided to roam the halls during our free time. We bumped into someone cosplaying Ash in full gear and the girls were excited (and possibly a little drunk). They grabbed his hat and dressed me up as a temporary Pokemon trainer while posing with me and had the cosplayer take photos of us. Some of you know my real name is Josh (Xander is, technically, my name as well and more often used) so the girls dubbed me "Jash" while they became the "Pokebroads" and ever since I've had a 4-6 cadre of ladies that were part of the crew. It's a very short version of the story, but Jash and the Pokeborads has been a very real thing for maybe a decade now? In other words, I like to think of myself as a Pokemon connoisseur.
As a Pokemon connoisseur, I have admired the multitude of Pokemon sets entering MR the past year, but I think this Jigglypuff themed set is probably the cutest one to hit while the rest tend to be of a sexier flavor. Points for originality and take the less traveled but more accurate route of cuteness. That's my 2 cents. Beyond that, she has proven herself a true Lady Galadriel in Lady of Light by the lovely @rouge with her kindness and she but elegant nature. I've been playing Mario games since '81 or '82 and fell in love with the Princess Peach theme in this latest set. She may have influenced me outside of this set's release, but that's one of the magic things about this community. You can actually get to know the people involved with the production of sets and it breathes so much more life into each one.
Whether you're a fan of Super Mario games or just like really cute girls I definitely suggest checking this set out. In fact, you should go visit each of her sets because she really is one of the sweetest girls I'm proud to call a friend. Head on over and score yourself an extra life because this Peach-y Princess is too amazing to miss out on. I'm really hoping to see her turn pink so "HelpHerTurnPink and go leave some love today. Plug in a second controller and tell your friends because we're about to play co-op.
@yuko in Slow Your Roll by @penny
You might not see the roller skates she wore for the set in the photo above, but beyond scoring a few bonus points for having wheels on her feet this smile stopped my heart. @yuko has had a handful of SOTDs featured on SG since 2015 and although she is a cutie pie in every single set I flipped head over wheels with this one! I do sometimes bias my love on girls that skate and have been known to develop some pretty mighty crushes on skater girls, but this smiling image above defines the set better than any other image I could provide. It's very colorful with shades of blue and pink, the vibe is very friendly and cute, and Yuko is quite obviously a doll. I rave about @penny up and down all day long over her cooking, her beauty, her photography... there is no doubt in my mind that I'm likely in love with her in a more serious way than I would admit to myself, but this set is her best shot set yet (even without my biased love of smiles and skates). @pulchra definitely earns a spot right up there, but that set is meant for another blog yet.
Smiles really are the best, are they not? When you meet a girl (or anyone) and they flash a smile you can instantly tell if they're nervous, interested, having a great day, hiding something, or any number of emotions between because it's as telling as the eyes. I rave to all of you too often about smiles on girls like @fresa. I know you must know how they make me feel, inspiring me to smile myself. There isn't a moment that goes by since I've seen this set that I don't picture her in my mind and break into a smile myself. In fact, I recently joined a team practice (roller derby, for the uninitiated) after 5 months absence from my team and my smile was this big the entire time as I go to try some new things, spend time drooling over one of the sexiest French Canadians to ever wear a pair of skates like she was born with them on her feet, and be with friends that I've cut myself off from during a bad period at the end of last year. This set may have come right before I actually tied up my boot straps, but now it means even more to me than you will ever believe as both a feeling when I found myself (again) and as "high on life and love" emotional bliss over the delightfully cute @yuko.
If any of you ever want to meet up for a skate when in Cleveland or if I travel through your town, let me know. I always love a skate and a cute companion. If you're a dude without a beard I'll still accept it, but if you're a cute girl, well, just don't let me pretend like I forgot how to skate just so you'll hold my hand. 😏
@pher in Meet Me In the Bat Cave by @fishball
This Brazilian has been around a lot longer than I realized. I don't know how I missed @pisces Angel of the Morning or Rocket Queen by @kalincamaki, but when I saw this cute pigtailed vixen with a Batman shirt I swear I peed my pants... just a little. I know, you're probably thinking, "dude, you always crush on all the Brazilian girls. I've seen you literally drool when you were looking at @sirena's sets... again... for the 8th time the other day," and you do have a solid truth backing up that thought, but it's not just her DNA and the curves she was blessed with as she grew into them. She really is... okay, so she does have some very kissable lips looking so perfectly shaped for the act and her eyes are like coffee and chocolate sweet and energized. I can't help it.
@fishball did an excellent job providing me with my introduction to this lovely lady, though, as you should do yourself, I love her prior sets as well. It's every bit as sexy as the @lovia and @myssa_cat_____ duo we saw earlier last year as they played Batlovia and Supermyssa. I still have daydreams about those two ladies and their roles as superheroes. I'm almost ashamed to provide you with the fantasies that followed. This @fishball rendition of Batman is a slight role change for @fishball herself as she kept the soul-capturing closeness she usually provides and leaned back from the sexy heat she normally provides in most of her sets as a photographer. I love the close-up lady bits and seeing curves from a point of view that makes me feel like I'm living in a real life fantasy (though tastefully, don't twist my words), but this pulled back just enough to be a little "cuter" dare I use that word because it's not the exact word I'm looking for, but it's a more subtle sensuality and still very beautiful. I could almost go as far to say it's one of my favorites that she's shot over the past year and a half (from what I've seen). It's an equal tribute to Batman as it is to @pher and her phenomenal beauty.
@manson in Down the Rabbit-Hole by @bretema
I would love to spend one day with the lovely @manson. I remember when she debuted Milky Way in MR and I was blown away by her beauty. I saw ladies like @doncella and others posting about checking this cutie out and here we find her with a third set dropped in almost 6 months and she went pink! Of course she deserves a big congratulations for making it to the front page, but I still think of that simple beauty with nothing but a cup of milk and those beautiful eyes entrancing me. Speaking of status changes, we should all give the beautiful @bretema a round of applause as well as she went pink herself after what seems like forever. She dropped so many amazing sets into MR and finally received the recognition deserved! She did give us three very amazing SOTDs during her short time shooting for SG.
As for this Alice, she gave us a fun twist with a little greenery and some classic @manson sexiness. Though @elisarose provided us with a more legit cosplay role with Elisa in Wonderland by @a_popenko, I really liked this rendition because it felt very light and playful. Much like her debut set and Over the Rainbow by @davidrc there isn't a focus on being that sexy eye piece for nightly fantasies but a bit of youthful energy and honest love of being in front of the camera and creating something interesting whether it's cosplay like this or just enjoying some moments... naked. If the rumors I hear are true from those that met or chatted with her then I will say again that I would love to spend one single day with this lovely lady, to see that smile in person, to gaze into the beautiful eyes, and to wish I was that lucky guy in her arms, but I'll settle for a few fun sets now that she has more motivation to keep creating fun content for the site.
@rika in Signs by @mel_z
I don't know how she escaped my view for so long with sets shot by the cute @waikiki, the admirable @tripodski, and even the lovely @andrealaz, but this set hit me much like @ivylina's @coolicio shot set or @nayru's set in the field. There may be more sets within MR that appeal to this theme whether it's with unicorn onsies or just pure natural beauty in an open area, but these few (including @coolicio herself) earn a special spot in my heart. These expansive fields flush with oxygen and sunlight, the plant life dancing in the wind and gently caressing the gorgeous curves of natural beauties themselves. I wish I could place a finger on the words that describe the emotion, but it feels to surreal, to much like an indescribable Elysium where perfection is not a word but something beyond syllables or simple definition.
@rika herself, looking very beautiful as she runs around the field like a less crazy Mel Gibson in the movie Signs. Freedom from the outside world and the noise, simple poetry defined by the rhythm of the heart beating at the pace of love. The way she looks back to invite you to feel the air dance in your hands as your skin absorbs the all encompassing warmth. It's already one of my favorite sets from 2019 with beautiful photography by @mel_z. I didn't know @rika before this, but I hope that changes if this is even a remote piece of her personality.
It's a little crude in explaining the "feels" for the set, but I enjoyed my own commentary on the set so I'll share it with you: "This playful and sensual romp through the field is just what the heavens ordered, a beautiful creature of angelic proportions soaking up some sun and delivering us to an eternity I would gladly accept. I never love to see a gorgeous woman leave, but in this case when she walks away she still steals my breath. @rika isn't just the sexiest guide through these Elysium fields, she's quite the natural masterpiece of human art elevated to levels beyond imagination. @mel_z is our guide for the living to prepare for the heavens that await the luckiest souls and we just so happen to get the visual guide a little early."
@vaughn in Black and Red by @tripodski
Whether she's an all American rebel in Come and Play (@lilymai) or the sexiest redhead to cause me to bite my lip so hard it bleeds in You're Mine by @ayah, this vamp gets the blood flowing. The death metal drum beat of my heart thumping rapidly as she studies up on her Bram Stoker and looks seductively divine in her sexy lingerie. I love a good Pod-shot set, but this may be one of my more recent favorites as it features his classic style with the red hot seduction of @vaughn.
"Belle better watch out because the real Beauty and the Beast is the story of the gorgeous @vaughn and the sexy man beast himself, @tripodski . The crimson and black a perfect color combination for the sensual dance of seduction by the redheaded vixen extraordinaire herself. After the bright light of @ayah and the warmth of @autumnsky it was inevitable she let loose her voracious appetite for seduction with her vampiric smile and hypnotic gaze. Her sights set upon your heart and your eyes awash with slender curves slipping through space faster than you can coordinate the twitch of muscles practically frozen in time. This is Interview with a Vamp and welcome to her kingdom." I rather like the way I summed it up originally!
@lascaux in Dahlia by @waikiki
If I need to introduce @lascaux again then you must not have read a few of my previous posts that featured her, but I will say again that she is the sweetest little thing and looks absolutely adorable with that bright pink hair. Though she is a veteran of colored hair, the bright color feels very fitting to her vibrant personality even if she might give off a more subdued vibe... which could very well be the truth as well. Just because she might hold back with a little shyness and be more romantic than party animal doesn't mean she can't rock a few bright colors and stand out like the flashy little cutie she is on stage with @blackheartburlesque. I am only just realizing this as I post this blog and look at her set again, but OMG do I love her legs in this set. I'm not one to use text short code often, but some of the poses in here really show off some definition and shape in her hips, thighs, and calves that spin my head around and around again. As a skater I'm always watching feet and legs and over the years developed a fetish (of sorts) or love for a variety of lower body shapes whether defined by physical activity or just naturally... I am lacking the words to describe this. I really enjoy admiring a nice set of legs however they find their shape and definition and @lascaux may have inspired a little rapid pulse with hers. That's now weird, right?
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the set beyond the cutie involved! It feels very @waikiki-esque, but there's something a little different and I don't know if it's the way the colors stand out or if it's the smiling model herself that gave it a personal twist but I'm enjoying this as much as I did You Must Be a Weasley featuring @sirenn and Bubblegum Dream featuring @undead. The latter didn't have as much color literally, but @undead made that set pop beautifully and I still have the largest most embarrassing crush on her ever. That's not to say I don't love the recent @channy set which wasn't as colorful in the same sense, but these sets have topped my list of @waikiki favorites over my time back on the site. As for that brown eyed girl that can dance her way into my dreams any time she wishes I love the addition to her portfolio of beautiful sets. It's her brightest set yet and reminds me how I felt when I watched her on stage during this last BHB tour.
@suixy in Atlantean Bae by @juanmartinsosa
She looked adorably colorful and sexy as a kitty in I Said God Damn! God Damn.. while Get Cozy by @diegozanotti was... actually, I haven't looked through that set until now and I must say it's a cozy set indeed. I've loved every set from the bathing Nikita to the lovely Summer Picnic and I'm really enjoying Cozy. At this point I could almost feature a @suixy inspired post because I've been bewitched by her many themes and, well, her heart shaped nipples are as intriguing as those soft big brown eyes of hers.
She could be covered in dark magic like a human Oujia board or spending time on the beach with kissable red lips and no matter how she decides to dress (or undress) I always find myself drawn to her eyes when she gazes forward. Though I can't enjoy the heart nipples or those big brown eyes as much as I have with her prior sets, I love the elegance of this vacation piece she delivered into MR at just the right time. As the snow falls heavy outside my window I can immerse myself into these photos as I feel the sun warm my skin and feel my heart beat louder as I grow closer to the beautiful @suixy. The hopeful so close to making it front page that I'm starting to wonder if Cozy might make it there as her highest rated set.
Seriously, with as many followers as she has, those gorgeous eyes, and some really creative sets like Dark Magic I'm almost surprised she doesn't have a little cult following worshiping her as I do. I may not be saying a lot in this post, but I continue to think back on the emotions felt and words shared over her prior sets and I realize just how in love I am with her.
@hadid in Summer Sun by @msilveira
"@msilveira knows how to take an angel and show us her heaven, but I'm sure a girl like @hadid requires nothing more than a simple sketchpad and pencil in hand to give the world a view they'll never forget. Her gorgeously slender and curved frame looking amazing under the shade I can only imagine how it shines under the full light of the sun, her ink popping more vibrantly, her eyes reflecting as much the natural light as her own inner light, and I am falling madly for this "Lady Luck". I know she'll be waiting for me in my dreams later tonight, but this balcony became a dream holiday thanks to the eye of @msilveira.
I don't know what else to say without knowing more about this mysteriously new vixen, but when I saw a preview in MR with @msilveira's name attached I knew I had to take a peek and, though simple, it's a goddamn heatwave when she unleashes her curves and gazes deeply into my soul. I always fall in love for the badass chicks and this one, I'm guessing, is as badass sexy as they come.
@octokuro in Inner Piece by @natalia_randle
When I think about @octokuro I always think about all the gorgeous fetish shoots featuring latex outfits that leave me drooling like a braindead foo. I even loved that nod to Shadowrun with the neon flare and all of her take with cosplay tributes, but when it comes to dressing down in something simple like in this set I find myself... closer? I don't know how to explain my own emotions well in this case, but I was almost thrown through a loop to find something a little less fetish by a model who excels well beyond most in that realm. Although this loop is one that leaves me with hearts in my eyes and thoughts of a digital goddess taking spot right next to me (in my thoughts anyway) for a relaxing evening. I really love the simplicity of the set and @natalia_randle did an amazing job as I would expect, but this set... is really fucking amazing. Simple.
I sat on (the thought of) this set for days and I believe I was even a little late to comment because I looked through it multiple times before leaving a comment and it still sticks in my mind even more than Street Samurai which I loved more in theme than visually, but don't think I would give it any less than a 10 if we were rating this because that set was really fraggin' awesome. This set delivered a new piece of a model I may have stupidly typecast in my own fantasies and I love it. Every model and photographer on this site has much more to them than some nude photos or assumed personality based on their presence and I love the fact that each new set always tells another chapter no matter how similar or different it was from the last. Each photographer has a new way of revealing the words in visual form. I love this set, I do, more than I can actually put into words right now.
I intended for this blog to be a smidgen longer with a few more models in queue, but I need a break. It's been a long time since my last appreciation post and I overwhelmed myself as is with the sets I shared just now so I'll say goodbye. I'll be back soon, I promise. I have about 30 more sets I would love to cover with you guys so stay tuned for more soon... very soon!
Love always,
Xander
