After reading a few blog homework posts regarding "member appreciation" and checking out @kaliva's March contest for membership and merch (also related) I started thinking about my own posts. As a member, it's great to be appreciated for recognizing the creativity and personality behind some of the most beautiful models across the globe as well as offering praise to the very talented photographers that put forth a lot of hard work to offer us a slice of heavenly beauty on the side of our communal feast of conversation. Without the foundation of these models looking to break the mould of standardized beauty and come together with creative hearts and minds we never would have had this "punk rock community" that emphasizes individuality as the true beauty behind each person.
Stimulating the creative juices of every soul to deliver the best of themselves as costume creator, literate spiritualist, sensual sociologist, and so much more we see an homage to pin ups of old yet it has become so much more than sex being sold and painted on the side of a bomber or posted on a calendar. Sure, some of the amazing ladies here can hook you up with any number of prints and merchandise, but ask any of them and they'll tell you it's much bigger than a sales booth to entertain a few lonely or bored people looking for a little kink. Our kinks just happen to be the kind that come from deep inside the heart and juiced from the brain.
In other words, we wouldn't be here sharing conversation, hugs, and connecting on a deeper level if it wasn't for folks like @missy and @sean delivering what we still see standing today. I've found friends like @nickstone that stood the test of time and absence, models like @krito that always delivered such beautiful content for over a decade and continues to be so humble and kind, and at one point I even found love (temporarily) with a pretty radical woman. Through gifts from kind hearted individuals like @ropers71 and @hiptobes to cute little cards from some of the very lovely hopefuls and official girls I've only felt home.
It's not about where we come from, rich or poor. It's not the native language we speak. Our lifestyles vary and some have changed drastically due to circumstances that required a 180 to survive, but at the end of the day whether we're working three jobs to support our kids and giving this community a run or traveling like a boss and spreading love across the continent we all come together to be one solid unit. We're not perfect. We have out dysfunctions like any family and flaws like any human, but we come together to eat at the same table nonetheless. It's you that passed me the hugs and kept the knife out of my hand. It's you that inspired her to become something more by joining SG as a model. It's you that gave him a chance to see love was deeper than just finding a cute girl to hang out with on a regular basis.
Sappy time over, let's get on with the babes?!
@laudam in Transparence
Though the set itself is a bit chaotic in nature with heavy transitions in lighting from brightly lit shot of every slender curve to heavily shadowed images creating a sense of depth, there is also an elegance to the chaos as the colors and hues from the lighting behind her to the reflections off materials like the couch alters our perception like a kaleidoscope. Awkward at first, I wasn't necessarily feeling the set but wanted very much to support the lovely @laudam with love and admiration in a commentary. After I chased this skirt, so to speak, and dropped by a few more times I found the set to be visually stimulating in the aforementioned chaotic approach. The gorgeous Laudam has the perfect sleek curves and poses to melt into the colors of light as well as emerge and play with the shadows like a dancing flame upon her skin. Her cherry red lips drew me to follow her cute black skirt indoors, but after we arrive it was all in her eyes and the very dance she performed as she altered my reality and offered a dream state that was pure ecstasy.
@mercury in Cobalt Tease by @aurralee
@mercury wasn't lying when she named this set Cobalt Tease and @aurralee delivered exactly that as she picked up her camera to deliver us another gorgeous Canadian dream. After stealing the show with her SOTD Soapy Sunday by @haileigh I'm a little surprised we haven't seen her earn a second front page spot rather quickly. Following up with a cutesy DC comics inspired set and even a sexy French Maid set by the same photographer that helped her earn SOTD we land ourselves another flower inspired set to follow @just_sick's shoot with this lovely model. Not one to rest and looking to find her spot back on top she shares a pretty portion of self to get those hearts growing into full bloom like the flowers that pattern her cute cobalt robe. If you're not saying "oh my my" and dreamily gazing upon this set then you're surely missing out.
@phianixx in The Perfect Dream by @niallpatterson
Following the launch into space and our hearts with Girls Don't Like Boys, Girls Like Gin and Gaming, the charming @phianixx takes up a purrfectly cute theme with cat ears and spilt milk. I'll be honest and admit I didn't meet her through any particular set (which is very common), but connected over some conversation and love instead. After finding out her sophomore set was due out following our introduction I had to stop by and let her know that boys are silly creatures if they can't win a girl away from gin and gaming. Seriously a kind soul, she had me grinning from ear to ear well before I admired her "gaming attributes" underneath the NASA shirt and headset. As an old cat dad myself, I've come to appreciate the ferociously sexy beasts they've inspired in ladies like @romany, @valkyria, @elaena, @sirena and now @phianixx. There were many more feline lovelies, but none made spilt milk look like a decadent treat as she. The Perfect Dream may include a spectacular slender frame and waterfall of vitamin packed protein caressing every curve. Beyond that it's all in her smile and magnetic gaze more powerful than a soft kitty purring for a rubdown. This kitty cat left me purring by the end. 😻#HelpHerTurnPink
@manika @jane_jame @donawhale @emstone @grenda in Yacht Party by @fotobro
Seeing the lovely @donawhale in a new set was enough to motivate me to sail these high seas as her support for my blogs and never ending love has followed me since day one. She may still be a hopeful, but if we get enough sailors on board for this love cruise then maybe we'll see her turn pink just yet. Go ahead and check out Play Now, Ohayou Gozaimasu, and Mellow. Also starring another one of my more recently acquired favorites, the charming pink haired @jane_jame delivered a killer cosplay with Pink Dreams of Sailor Mercury by @natalia_randle and also spent some time with the newly pinked @alenagzhel in Bunny Paradise. She actually reminds me a lot of the ultra gorgeous and super sweet @snowyfeles that will forever own my heart for as long as she wishes. I highly suggest dropping by to check out her many amazing sets if you've not yet done so. Although I'm much less familiar with the other three sweet smiles and tender curves, I have nothing but outpouring love for the Russian cuties that here or elsewhere that also have delivered more support for my endeavors than I could ever dream of receiving. #HelpThemTurnPink
Speaking of @snowyfeles:
Tie Me Up by @natalia_randle
In approximately two weeks we'll be seeing another new set from these two and I am so excited that I can barely contain myself. She is one of the most beautiful women to catch my eye and inspire my heart since my return to Suicide Girls and I wish nothing more than to see her turn pink and gain the love she absolutely desires. She hasn't been heavily active on the site, but there aren't as many cute and humble souls as the one that resides in her gorgeous slender frame. I would love to see the dreamy sailors above all turn pink, but between the amazingly creative and colorful sets she's shared in MR and the desire to continue her creativity and share love I do believe she has more than earned a spot front page and in your heart as well. If you've not introduced yourself yet I urge you to give a warm (belated) welcome to @snowyfeles. #HelpHerTurnPink
@dianalark @evalareina in Sapiosexual by @mariafox
As if a boat full of babes wasn't enough to motivate that heart of yours, we find a duo of adorable ladies perfect for reading us bedtime stories. The only difference is it isn't bedtime yet and these two might be too distracted to continue reading when they find enchantment within each other. The winsome @dianalark set my heart on fire with the help of @alexander_magnus when they released Baby's On Fire and I've carried the biggest crush ever since. Beautiful, sincere, and a true Ukrainian treasure to spread across the global community, it's been an honor for my eyes to see deep beyond that perfect smile and beguiling demeanor. The super seductive @evalareina is also quite the fire with as much cuteness to go around and sensual energy to make that heart thump harder than you've ever imagined it could. This is adult story time at it's best and I do believe I'm ready for good story if either of these ladies are available any time soon. 😏
@livay in Sashimi by @lumyoukai
Finding a proper SFW shot for this post is borderline impossible, but if seeing a fully nude sushi girl is in your dreams then you've scored one of the best scenes you'll have not yet dreamed about right here. @livay is without a doubt one of the most perfect combinations of sweet and fire with curves that hit like a blast of wasabi and an aftertaste that will make you feel like a kid again. That perfect balance is properly represented like yin and yang within this set as she delivers a sultry meal to fill up that desire and shares some candid smiles and playful moments we don't too often see within sets. She has the body of a goddess and a smile that's as addicting as sashimi (I do love most forms of sushi to a gut busting extent), but no other set of hers has made me love and admire her as deeply as this one. Sharing intimate moments that reach a little deeper than the usual awe inducing bum shots we're all familiar, it's a fantastical look at the cotton candy heart she wears proudly and the youthful energy I hope she never lets leave her spirit. @livay is more than sensual tinder to kindle fire in my heart and elsewhere, she's an amazing personality and I hope that I get the chance to one day see that spark for myself. Until then my heart is always open to you, dear Livay, and I cherish any conversation you choose to throw my way so I can live vicariously off that youthful spirit inside.
@karanlit @fishball in The Possession by @lady
@karanlit and @fishball are two of the most colorful beauties around and this black and white multi is evidence that it reaches well beyond their tattoos, hair, and even thematic materials within their individual sets. @fishball is very well known across SG both in front of and behind the camera as she delivers sexuality with a fiercely sensual spirit. Every model she shoots receiving the most gorgeous treatment as she peels back the layers of flesh in each curve-graced shot and she shines equally brightly in front of the camera with a pair of eyes that'll haunt your dreams and a frame that redefines adult coloring book. @karanlit is yet another Russian beauty that has forever stolen my heart with fetching features unmatched by any female to walk the world of dreams and reality. Her talent to create worlds most fantastical with handmade cosplays, that burning desire to become each character in every new set paired with her own mesmerizing personality, and the love she shares for members, models, and photographers alike continue to astound me. Two multi talented women that explode in color are found here devoid of what we perceive as "color" only to delve deeper into what it really means to have a colorful personality and heart that beats more passionate than what the eyes can see. We are offered the chance to truly feel with our eyes and submit to creative desires of model and photographer alike.
@smoky in Sun Kissed by @saria
The sweet @smoky truly is Not Like Other Girls (@milloux) as she delivers another modern masterpiece under the eyes of @saria. Looking irresistibly adorable with braided pigtails and a gentle smile, she lights up the outdoors brighter than the star's own bright rays penetrating the atmosphere. Her petite frame is but a sweet whipped topping to the hazelnut candy coated gemstones beset upon her pretty face. Her cheeks perfectly sculpted to warm the hands of one lucky lover as eyes collapse into one another under gravitational pull that could inspire romance for generations to come. Basking in every warm color that creates the white light we perceive she stuns time itself to deliver a saturated heartfelt romance. Love is more than her ravishing appearance and sweet appeal, it's the very spirit she emits as beacon with a glance, pose, and essence of being.
@missbijou in Enema of the State by @coolicio
If you're not already aware of how I feel about @coolicio then you can check out my last blog post HERE. @missbijou herself has somehow escaped my sight for too long, but this Aussie beauty couldn't remain hidden for long. I know she never intentionally hid from me and I've likely offered a mention or two in the past, but now it's time for her to shine as she delivers a set that tugged just the right string in my heart I'd all but forgotten about. Growing up with music and dating a couple girls that were big Blink fans I became a fan myself and always loved the way they could deliver humor and youthful energy with punk similar to NOFX or Green Day (both bands being featured on a regular playlist rotation). I also had a slight crush on Nurse Janine (the porn star) when she got tattooed and started appearing on album covers, but @missbijou quickly delivered me from that college boy crush I had (I'm old) and reminded me of my youthful days with this latest set. Looking equally sexy and playful, she reached deep into my... ehem... and left me with a smile. She might not be a nurse, but I would gladly show up for a check up any day of the week if I could see that smile and feel the warmth in her eyes wash over me. If she just so happens to want to play nurse, I couldn't turn her down and might ask for further examinations. 😏 In honor of Blink 182, in admiration of @missbijou, and all the love I could have for the beautiful Aussie community I cherish this set more than anyone here could ever know as it paid tribute to a pretty entertaining time in my youth I won't forget. I'll also not forget this lovely nurse, so... "helllooooo nurse!"
@afrodite in Ni Hao, Ranma by @aymi
I always speak highly of all the gorgeous Argentinian and Brazilian girls that partake in the community as models, members, and photographers, but I never get much of a chance to share my love for the Chilean ladies and now is that perfect moment to seize. I've only ever briefly met some roller derby girls from Santiago and seen photos of some of the countryside, but have always been fascinated by the women, food, and country itself. Much like California in the US on the west coast and reaching between the northern and southern sections of the country, Chile remains a dream to visit, much like LA remains a dream within my own country. I digress from the Ranma cosplay and my well known love of purple so let's switch back to our original state and admire the booty before us. I did intend for the double entendre as @afrodite is both a treasure to behold and has quite a lovely bum that easily captivates my attention. Having such lovely eyes that are truly hypnotic, I'm intrigued and find myself paused in admiration. I don't believe I've ever really stopped to admire the colors in her eyes and now my breath is taken and this prepossessing woman has just sparked a fire inside. Forget all about my biased love of purple I do believe I'm about to take my own intermission and check out her previous sets. 😍
@adeli in Peanutbutter Is My Fave by @chinaski
I don't know how @adeli wrote herself into my story, but I was happily introduced to the lovely blue haired cutie and have been dreamily thinking about her since. I do believe sharing the screen with @valkyria in her tribute to La Casa de Papel was one thing that allowed her to heist my heart as partner in crime to one that continues to steal my thoughts from time to time. I'm not too familiar with Bojack, but I can offer love on the tribute after checking up a little on the 'toon. Plus, I can't forget pizza, cute bum, smiles, and heart which are a few of my favorite things. Creativity is great and it's a pleasure to see proper tribute, but when you're a little unfamiliar you have to take in the little things and enjoy it as a nice little introduction for what will soon be a Netflix binge, right?
@vaughn in Curse by @gemmaedwardsuk
You're Mine by @ayah is still one of my favorites, but this @gemmaedwardsuk set is gently working it's way in with it's soft presence. Unlike many of the models that turn bath sets into boiling hot waters that might just burn the heart when taking a dip, @vaughn keeps it gentle, inviting, and somewhat playful. Sharing her sweet and tender smile, she proves even the most metal ladies are still marshmallows dancing in our dreams and taking a break from the Black and Red (@tripodski) life that they enjoy. She looks as adorable in pink as she does elegant in black, her eyes an oceanic view of love and inspiration. She keeps the waters warm with a giggle and soft caress. I mention so many redheads that spark a flame and captivate my thoughts, but none do so in the manner she does and I love every smiling moment.
@paigerose in Seven In Heaven
I wanted to share my love with the person that introduced me to @paigerose, but I am just realizing that I am not sure who led me her direction! Regardless of which loving soul shared interest in a beautiful woman like Paige, I definitely have a soft spot for the UK crew and this off the shoulder sweater set made me feel warm and snuggly inside. I would love to elaborate, but I've barely met this sweet soul looking ultra adorable and ready for a night in so why don't we all just take a moment to appreciate the warm beauty while some of us wish we had these snuggles keeping us warm during winter nights and the rest of you can just yearn for some snuggles. @paigerose, if you're out there I really do need to get to know you better so I can hype up that junior set when it hits MR. 💕 #HelpHerTurnPink
@enigmasuicide in Sultry Shower by @flvffz
After some very warm reception over her sets Unfolding Beauty, Daydream Nation, and A Certain Romance all by @brooklyn I'm surprised she hasn't appeared front page with a SOTD yet. Working with some fantastic photographers like @sobelle that recently earned her some kisses waiting for those lips (apologies for the forward nature on that, but I love ya!) and @sunshine it's a bit of shame these curves haven't hit that spotlight, but all of the sets are still recent enough that we could still see her grab that light and shine herself with your help. Those beautiful blue eyes captivate me well beyond those luscious curves, but most of us would probably agree that we all love a few curves in our diet and it's a pleasure to see her in one of the sets I recently blamed for requiring me to take one of the longest cold showers in my life. There have been a lot of shower and bath sets recently hitting MR which you'll likely notice in my blog posts of recent past and soon to follow this one, but I did want to share this one because I thoroughly enjoyed two of her somewhat recent sets, Sweetie, You Had Me and Socco Amaretto Lime and would love to see her gain a little more love become official. #HelpHerTurnPink
@lascaux in Golden by @r_girardi
The spellbinding @lascaux is once again charming the pants off me, so to speak, with another lovely set by @r_girardi. Having not yet worked with Girardi, it's a pleasure to see a new facet of her beauty under his light. I'm still coming down of that Dahlia high by @waikiki, but was fully attracted to this romantic staircase to heaven. The quaint little area a cute and quiet place to relax and take in fresh air feels like the perfect spot to share this petite's beauty generous smile and warmth. Soft, sincere, there are so many words that could easily describe the tender moments and endearing gaze. This golden moment is a treasure trove of absolute beauty and though I loved her colored hair, the natural tones were breathtaking to see just behind her lovely face. I'm going to forever remember from the Blackheart Burlesque show, but I think she's going to be leaving a trail of fabulous impressions well outside the one event for years to come.
@killer_katrin in Barmaid by @natalia_randle
The Bad Housewife just took a turn behind the bar and just added to this post yet another gorgeous Russian. I'm glad to finally hear she officially went pink with her debut set with this set quickly reaching toward 3k as I type this very post. It wasn't hard for her to work her way into the hearts of many with her fabulous curves and timeless beauty, but even behind my own dropped jaw and tongue twisted awe I see something special beneath the crimson lips and lovely eyes. Her hourglass figure is a big distraction under the eye of @natalia_randle, but that smile holds a genuine drink of love and soul upon the lip. To deny my own physical attraction would be the worst sin to self and my viewer so I wipe the evident drool and pour a drink (juice for me) and salut the lovely lady stealing the eyes of this poet. Underneath that beautiful layer, however, I would love to see the engine drive. Maybe one day we can share a conversation if not a drink, dear @killer_katrin so that I could know the heart that beats within that lovely bosom and feel the spirit that ignites your fire.
@plum in Blodeuwedd by @saria
@plum may not have a problem earning her 23rd SOTD with this @saria shot set, but despite her popularity, long standing membership as a model, and entrancing beauty she still deserves a little love from poets out there as well. Her beauty sublime, her eyes a chocolate delight with a dash of cream, her lips a gentle whisper. Everything about the out of this world beauty from Saturn is what many of us originally came here for and why most of us stay. It's easily finding a spot along with @vyne's for favorite bath set on SG and if you take a dip into the golden waters with this sensuous beauty you'll readily see why. An interesting tidbit of behind the scenes explaining the meaning of the name can be learned here. The more you know! I do wish I could share more appreciation on this particular babe as well, but the bee has been busy and we've not had time to connect over the past year and my contact prior to 2014 was minimal at best. I can't fill you in on her sweet waters, but I hope you still find some love to share because a long standing model like this has definitely earned her keep by being more than a pretty face and sending as much love back into the community as she receives. 💜💕
@kaliva in A Clean Start by @lady
Last, but certainly not least is someone most of us know quite well. Never one to shy from tender thoughts and always looking to spread positivity and love in the community is dear sweet @kaliva. Had I known her outside of the site I would have tried to swoop her up long ago. Even before her debut set hit MR she shared her very kind heart and left me with many smiles. She recently posted a contest for March asking us to describe a hopeful/SG that we found to be one of our favorites. Though I'm sure the rules never denied her of a spot as favorite hopeful (soon to be official) it seemed awfully awkward to nominate her to win her own prize and thought it might be better to deliver a little tribute within my own post.
I don't know if I ever realized just how beautiful she was beyond a few smiles I was lucky enough to witness before deeper conversation ensued or sets debuted. Seeing her strip down to the bare skin and soul within, curves flourished like brush strokes on life's canvas. Her lips stirring the palette with silent words, eyes a smooth brown soil fertilizing the blossom of her soul as it edges out along every facet of each glimmering gemstone. Sensually igniting inspiration with a gentle caress of the finger and increasing the rate of to which my heart beats with tilted head. Her words of loving friendship behind the scenes as she pushed the positive like a lucky lightning strike jumping my thoughts with controlled synapse release something I never expected from a mere acquaintance. To become something connected like friendship over long distance and minimum words is something she mastered. Humble to the last drop of sticky sweet nectar that drips off her tongue and onto every word spoken, she is but the definition of a love I so longingly seek and proves it to be within reach. A leader by example as one of many not to take on the role of Queen but to hold hands under the stars with everyone else. #HelpHerTurnPink
[I know it's a little sappy and perhaps out of place (I apologize), but the song reminds of her and influenced my commentary on the set so I thought I would share it with all of you.]
Had I met @kaliva years ago and listened to the nervous tone in her voice as she introduced herself I would have been intrigued. Had she delivered that spirit within mere moments into the conversation I would have gladly asked for more than just a coffee but an adventure to share. The very reason for these appreciation posts is inspired by people like her that dedicate their love every day to people who fertilize creative thought and love so that it can grow into something we can all be proud of and share. It is because of @kaliva that this very post is what it is as I am about to post it.
This post itself is dedicated to Kaliva for inspiring in me more love than I allowed myself before her. It's dedicated to @phianixx because she has become a closer friend these past few months and I'm loving every moment of silly conversation and serious topic. It's also dedicated to @gnomi because, well, you'll just have to read my post on Kaliva's contest blog to see why (it's very wordy), but I know she already knows why she earned the love she did. Without each of these women in my life I couldn't have grown as much as I did this past year. It might not seem like it to most f you, but much has changed and I'm so very thankful for all of you helping me get here today.
I owe @gadget a bit of love here as well for the conversation and love between all these moments. I wouldn't forget you.
Love,
Xander
@rambo @missy
