This appreciation post may not make it in time for International Women's Day, but I never liked fitting the celebration of anyone that meant something to me in anything less than a lifetime. My mother birthed me into this world and deserves all the respect from anyone that may actually appreciate my introverted and sometimes overly wordy existence, but also she provided me with the proper state of mind to never give anything less than one's entire self to those deemed worthy of that love and admiration. Frankly, there are so many to name that I could practically post a blog post filled with names and it would still be long enough for you to read that you might need a coffee to make it through.
Recently, I've had the honor of being called out by a few particularly lovely ladies in member appreciation posts and earned the backing of such amazing women like @ohsammiii, @chroi, @bookcouple, and @naru_blu during my recently dark times. Let's not get started on the multitude of names I could list for distractions like the lovely @missnickers or some particular smiles that continue to energize my very soul like @fresa when she drops charming new visual treats into her Instagram account. Actually, @sirena just made my entire weekend not moments ago (from the start of this post). Though the timeliness of this post will not be accurate for any celebration or even mention of some names within as I erect the first lines Friday night (and hope to finish between Saturday/Sunday) for a final weekend publish, I do hope everyone hugged a sweet lady or two in their life this weekend. Your mom, sister, best friend, wife, or coolest cat you know all deserve a little loving for doing what they do to make this world that much more a loving place to be.
I've been slightly under the weather with some commentaries lately and I apologize to anyone over the past week that received a lackluster piece of love from my heart, but know that you will soon receive plenty more love in an upcoming post. I'm still about two weeks behind right now and hoped to do a double post this weekend, but some things popped up so it may or may not happen. Hopefully, I will soon make it all up with a love drop so big I might not have any heart left for myself.
To the ladies contained within this post, I salute you. All the love from the bottom to the top of my heart go to you for being creative every day and making your art the way you see it. To wondrous humans like @kaliva that remain humble despite being an absolute beauty with her photo now in the halls of SG's version of Valhalla. (Congrats, love!) To the mothers and the lovers. To the women that make life full of love, full of sunshine, and give us something that can never be bought or sold, something that can only come deep from within. I... no, we salute you. No matter my station in life today or tomorrow, I will always love you and that love will continue to grow with you and will become as big as you allow it. A hug or a snog, a shoulder to lean, a collection of words to share. My heart is yours and forever loves you, richer, poorer, happy, sad, no matter the rain nor shine. This one is dedicated to you.
@dame in I Don't Believe In Humans by @smashbase
I guess if @kpax were to have an out of this world partner in interplanetary crime it would be none other than the lovely @dame as she steals a few (thousand or so) hearts with this latest addition to her portfolio of hot sets. I'm sure my words are a mere drop in the hat to the love she's been receiving that is currently vaulting this set into the realm of SOTD territory, but everyone knows I have to add my piece of pie to this peachy goodness. Yes, I am referencing that lovely bum as it has been known to stop a few hearts and send my thoughts swirling into a tornado of fantasy beyond the known universe. Don't let me forget that purple love that you know I'm going to unleash upon the suspecting world because once you turn purple my passion takes to the skies at speeds her little space cruiser likely hits with a slight press of the gas pedal. @lady introduced me into her orbit barely a year ago and ever since I've not yet admitted to losing track of time due to her abductive charm and curves straight out of a space age pinup magazine. About the only regret I have at the moment is the fact I'll be mere miles away (Saturday, as I write this) from her current landing zone and I won't even have the chance to be graced and awed by her beauty, but I guess that means I'll just have to make a few more stops this year to my neighbor a simple 3 hour drive away. You may no longer believe in humans after witnessing this set, but this down to earth life form has such amazing "form" that you'll be questioning the reality of such beauty.
@coralinne in Honeymoon by @saria
The beautiful @coralinne has the type of figure most girls dream of and many men dream of, wait... what was that? During my less active years, the almost clean canvased woman was just debuting herself to the masses with tremendous love following her the instant she flashed a smile and those lovely lady bits. Not long after she received a few more vintage design tattoos and was stealing the show with SOTD after SOTD with a flooding of broken hearted hopeless romantics wishing to stop spinning right round right round like a record and land in her arms those same nights. A true stunner with eyes flavored by dashes of amber and hazelnut layered in ganache sweetness, a body that features the perfect curve to slender ratio, and lips that could flip any Romeo from his Juliette there is no doubt that she does linger in the dreams of any sighted human for any variety of reasons. I, myself, wish equally that I could look so lovely and hold such a desirable woman in my arms during a regular basis. Awesome vintage ink, the face of an angel, and somehow looking more gorgeous with every new set featured in MR and every year added to her bones (much like the truly amazing @discordia). She's another lucky lady that doesn't require a mere drop of honey from my tongue to entice your into loving everything that she is, but it won't stop me from swiping a piece of this cotton candy and holding onto that wish.
@bendita in Twisted Nerve by @crisro
I know there are plenty of @jacqueline and @elune fans out there that decided to binge on Tarantino films after dropping by to visit their Quentin inspired sets, but have you seen the truly charming @bendita in her tribute to the cult favorite director? Much like discovering a lost gem or sharing From Dusk Til Dawn with the youth that never realized Quentin acted for his friend Robert Rodriguez, finding @bendita was a pleasurable experience that sits firmly beside all my Funko Pops and blu ray collection. @crisro, @saria, and @lorenablaze released some charmingly delightful sets that all reached well above the 2k mark and yet still we find this hopeful in the passenger seat to peers among the prior named models gone pink. It may only be a Kill Bill tribute in theme versus a full cosplay, but @bendita will leave your heart feeling like Uma Thurman just went a few rounds in a boxing match the way it will thump around in that rib cage. She has the most gorgeous smile brighter than any star in the sky and, to be frank, she's really flipping cute with some cool vintage tattoo designs, a slim frame that slinks it's way into my every thought, and a face I swear I could gaze upon from dawn til dusk exclusively for the rest of my days. I was far from being timely with my love on her early sets, but I'm here now to binge some @bendita and Tarantino, so why not join me and let's turn her pink?! #HelpHerTurnPink
@venisons in Eyes Never Lie by @fromlimbo
The irresistible @venisons is back with her fifth set in MR and I'm still rooting for her @minuminula set to make an appearance on the front page as a SOTD. Though her fetching features and warm, inviting eyes are a true gravitational force beckoning all hearts to dock in her space Shakira may have been onto something when she said "hips don't lie" because her well known bum has been one of the most distracting portions of her perfectly sculpted frame. I won't resort to exclusive "bum love" despite admiration for the curvy goodness being applied to my visual perception with every new set, but I also can't deny my admission each time she drops into my heart. Though she has worked with some of the greats from the aforementioned @minuminula to @r_girardi, @fishball, and @akril, I am quite pleased to see some work with the delightful @fromlimbo that never fails to impress upon me the soft and sensual beauty of the models she shoots. Soft and sensual are two perfect descriptive terms when it comes to @venisons because she has been nothing but kind and receptive from my very first words of admiration during her time as a hopeful and a sensuous being she, quite obviously, is as any given photograph would reveal. She's one of my favorite Italians among the gorgeous (inside and out) @brisen and the super sweet @elerancida so if you ever hear me mention any trio of delightful ladies that could make a single day more delightful than most days in my life it would be among the three. If this set isn't SOTD by the time this post gets published I would be in shock, but if not then at least you get the chance to be on the ground floor helping it get there.
@evevalentine and @lilyt in Les Yeux D'amour by @prune
The truly lovely @prune doesn't just stun a few hearts every time she releases a new set as a model, but she also shoots a pretty amazing piece of sensuality when she sits behind the lens to deliver colorful fantasies I'm still trying to process as reality. I've been following the lovely @evevalentine for a short while now and only more recently exposed myself to the charming @lilyt, but the duo turned this heavenly white room into a playground of rainbows and sensuality that I swear set fires across the globe as SG denizens peeked into MR to roast a few marshmallows on the ever burning flickers of desire. Playful, sexy, and easily creating some jealousy of the air caressing the slender curves between every spark of static between flesh, this set is as much a study in love and lust as it is an entire rainbow palette paint swirling color into every corner of our sight. These clouds are the simple heaven we're all knocking on doors to find, but these two just happened to unlock the doors and make use of the empty canvas space first. Take a trip down this path and let desire ring vibrant.
@saturn @toxic @eirenne in As If by @sobelle
Clueless was the first film to earn double crushes (Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy) and introduce me to one of my favorite actors (Paul Rudd) so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I also enjoyed listening to the soundtrack quite a bit during the 90s. This set relives some of the greatest moments that were, obviously, cut from the final film to keep it's PG-13 rating (in the US). Although I developed a few crushes on the actresses at the time, I must admit that @toxic as Cher, @saturn as Tai, and @eirenne as Dionne offered new perspectives on such crushes and Stacey Dash's hypnotic eyes barely hold a spent match to the very lovely @eirenne. Sure, it's easy to fall for @saturn's famous booty and @toxic has intoxicating curves, but I have developed a slight favoritism over the past year to dear sweet Eirenne. Great outfits to tribute the original cast/costuming, some fun moments containing just the right amount of humor to keep it light-hearted and fun, and a Stacey "Dash" of sexiness to spice up the Clueless girls we wish could have been, these ladies know how to deliver a multi suitable for breaking hearts and making this "Josh" want to throw a few quotes out regarding their youthful and beautiful appearances before snagging a kiss.
If you've been following me this long and have been lucky enough to receive a card, gift, or any form of "snail mail" contact with me outside of Suicide Girls you're already aware my name is, indeed, Josh. "Xander" is also my real name (by legal accounts) that has grown to become my recognized name outside of the professional workplace or friends that knew me much longer than the past 5 or so years. The name caught on across Midwestern US during many travels for roller derby bouts and has since spread to almost all friends I've made since then. All I'm really trying to say is that I've expressed some crazy love for both Saturn and Eirenne over many sets and reenacting the Cher and Josh scene with @toxic isn't far from the fantasies stirring in my head. Would you pass up the chance to reenact the stairwell scene between Josh and Cher with any of these three ladies? I'd probably blooper a few attempts just so I could snag as many snogs as possible before making way for the reality without one of the gorgeous ladies to kiss on a regular basis. Truth.
@malika in Daylight
The striking @malika may look great in Daylight, but this Puddin (@kasha) really is Where You Really Wanna Go no matter the time of day. The set is, admittedly, not as creative as the beautifully shot @kasha set mentioned above, but once you've seen that smashingly gorgeous smile two shots into Purity you're bound to love just about any chance to see her lovely lady curves. Personally, my deepest fascination with this lovely lass is that strong jawline that draws my gaze into a freeze frame over her pretty face. Combined with that smile so rarely seen in her sets, it's a fire encircling my heart burning brightly. Her eyes soft and passionate, she can draw the simplest form in the corner of this room and it's hard to steel away from that penetrating gaze as it hits like kryptonite right to the core. I won't claim it my favorite set of hers, but as a newer discovery, @malika made quite an overall impression and it would be wrong not to share the recently acquired love with you to possibly assist in helping you discover her as well.
@lilyann in Ikigai by @r_girardi
What's better than a cutie in a kimono with cute buns? I'm talking about that purple hair, silly! The charming @lilyann may also have the cutest bum to round out those perfect curves, but the plum haired angel has plenty other features that will stir a soul and shake a heart to it's core. Always one to love a cute hairstyle and share in the purple love, it was those couple things that first sparked my curiosity into this Spanish requisition. Her curves may entice a few lustful thoughts among even the most romantic and her eyes may draw in the sweet sensation of a chocolatey kiss, but I've found myself fascinated by the constellations of birthmarks adorning her delightful frame as I continually connect the dots as I might the stars in the midnight sky. In fact, I love the art she's collected on her flesh canvas, but I think I would sorely miss her self grown constellations that add a dash of personality to her soft beauty if they were to eventually be covered up. @lilyann introduced a little spicy heat to this simple heavenly delight and earned quite a few heartbeats from this poet. Kimonos, purple hair, and green tea make for a proper romance. Maybe the latter didn't earn a spot in the set, but I'd surely take Lilyann up for a cuppa sometime.
@aprilblaze in Our Cozy Nook by @shaine
@aprilblaze has the type of curve appeal that aligns my eyesight with her every soft edge, but the fascination doesn't stop there as she strikes a smile that looks great under @shaine's light. Combined with very cute baby blue sheer lingerie and a Cozy Nook that looks just as invitingly soft and delightful as the model herself, this set should easily hit the same amount of love as @shaine's previous work with her. Just the right dash of sensuality atop a very gentle and cute simple theme, I was immediately drawn to @aprilblaze beyond the connection her prior sets offered. I love a @just_sick set, don't get me wrong, and she already earned SOTD with her freshman effort under Shaine, but there's an innocent air and romantic appeal that seems to fit her smile perfectly as well as matching the generous and kind eyes making her an absolute delight to admire. That bum length hair is also quite the fetish draw for a silly man such as myself, so I can't deny a little hair love here as well.
@channy in Beg For It by @victory
First, I have to wonder how this amazing babe doesn't hit SOTD with every set she releases after working with such fantastic photographers like @waikiki, @milkydame, @zen, @captureofcthulhu, @kyla, and @coolicio. Regardless of the photographers' track records, this slender beauty is every bit spunky fun as she is fantastically professional giving 110% to every shoot and theme. Shedding bits of personality with the cutest of smiles, gazing through "wind swept" hair like a perfume model, and crafting poetry of human form with elegance and flair, it's practically a crime to the sensuality of art that she hasn't received twice the amount of love and featured prominently on the front page. Though the integrity and talent of these photographers would never be questioned by me, I feel as if @channy could submit a set with an old flip phone camera or worn out Polaroid camera and still blow away many of the sets that emerge in MR today. Again, that's not saying there is any love lost on the absolute talent and beauty of each individual hopeful or pink model across the board, but Channy has definitely earned her spot shooting well above and beyond the standards of each beautiful set we see pop up every few hours.
Aside from my little rant/rave, it is with high regard that I "Beg For" this set to be her next SOTD as she's outdone herself time and time again to reach this very elegant and sensuous point. A few splashes of color from her ink and the pillows set behind her slender frame, her face emoting the perfect mixture of youthfulness, maturity, and sexuality, and every nuance in shape and form fluid and artistic. If you've experienced the energy of her bright smile, the dedication to theme in her sets, the pleasure of her vibrant and active soul then you've no doubt fallen for this heartbreaker already. She's a beauty well beyond her cute face and slim figure, a dream that fractures reality as we know it. I may have already requested a couple wishes for my upcoming April birthday, but if I could throw in a third it would be to see her earn another SOTD with your help as we flood her with well deserved love. If you're new to her world, I can assure you she's worth every ounce of love you can share on her sets and posts. #HelpHerEarnAnotherSOTD
@mila in Ziggy by @victory
Show of hands, who here loves @mila? If you didn't raise your hand just now then you may want to excuse yourself from my friend list immediately. No, it's not a real threat, but the lovely @mila is a truly gorgeous inspiration that has earned herself a place among many epic blog posts as featured by yours truly and my dear friend, @ropers71. The Aussie community is a wonderful and beautiful community full of epic babes and some of the kindest hearts to reach across the vast ocean. @mila fits perfectly among the many and never ceases to deliver breath-taking content to your very eyes. Her cute bum might distract you, but don't let her curves fool you into thinking it's anything "butt" a match for her big heart turned upside down... or right side up? Either way, her eyes are a lovely draw into her realm and her smile is perfectly peachy. Plus, a little tribute to one of the artists I listened to a lot as a child of the 80s is a bigger plus than anyone could imagine. I really only ever owned about 5 cassettes as a little child, but I listened to them so much that the cassettes were in very poor shape and many tape decks were properly worn in a few short years. Cheers to the influence of music on our lives, the beauty of @mila in our hearts, and the kindness of such sweet souls as they guide us to realms that may never have otherwise been possible. Ground control to Captain Mila, it's time for another SOTD.
@sirenerouge in High Tide by @kezia
Quite possibly one of the most seductive redheads to live and breathe in Canada, but also very likely to hold the same title here within the SG community. @sirenerouge somehow didn't gain her pink status with a fiery freshman set appropriately titled Stairway to Heaven by @joelaphoto and instead earned her keep with Cherry Pie by @kzphotography, but she's remained a constant source of fire lighting up hearts and delivering a sensuality that is more intoxicating than any drug. If you don't believe me you can check out her Botanical Party set that perfectly represents Poison Ivy as a cosplay tribute as it does define the very model herself. If you're not familiar with the DC villainess/sometimes anti-hero then the statement may not hold much weight, but if you're familiar with her botanical concoctions that can make any man (or woman) fall in love en masse then you've surely found yourself in @sirenerouge's realm. Her eyes an alluring love poem writing itself into your thoughts once your gaze connects, her lips a visual stimulant causing rapid heartbeat well before any attempted kiss, and her curves a hypnotic dance of beautiful curves tending to your every fantasy and desire she fits perfectly with the biological marvel that woos many a comic nerds and leaves a few broken hearts behind. Don't blame her if you find yourself in a daze over the intoxicating delight that is her being for she is actually quite a kind soul behind the perfectly sculpted beautiful being you see before you. Don't forget her talents as a photographer either, as she's delivered some fairly beautiful babes like @silvery, @jessacat, and the truly lovely @sarahmoon. Don't get me started on Sarah. Between @sarahmoon and @aurralee my own fantasies battle for Canadian dominance. 😅
@bud in Bats In the Stable by @milkydame
If we're going to continue the topic of DC cosplay love then why not venture over to Gotham, Australia to see the lovely @bud in her latest set. @milkydame is the Ed Brubaker of this sensual comic "strip" and she didn't pull back any punches in the script as Bud herself took on the jobs of inker and colorist to deliver one of the finest Detective Comics you'll wish DC wrote. She might not be able to hide within any shadows because her beauty is simply impossible to ignore and her "gadgets" are as simple as a pair of knockout breasts, a bum that puts Mr Freeze's freeze ray to shame, and eyes that'll penetrate the hardest of hearts and pull the truth of love and admiration from any criminal heart, but she still puts both Bruce and Barbara to shame as the Seductive Knight. We've established that Australian women are a lovely crew and it goes without saying that @bud is easily one of the most popular with mad love hitting 4k on most of her sets. You might go Mad as a Hatter if you stop by this stable and your smile might grow bigger than The Joker's, but she'll leave your heart purring like Selena and treat you with the utmost love and respect like Alfred if you drop by her Watchtower. Damn, I have a sudden urge to read some Paul Dini and Frank Miller now. 🦇
@nebula and @pulp in Average Joe's Gym by @saria
I feel as if I've waited an entire year for this set to hit MR. Finally, it has arrived and I am blown away like a dodgeball straight to the head! It could have something to do with my head bouncing off the floor during last night's roller derby bout in Detroit, but either way my love for this set is epic. Shortly after appearing as Wash on Firefly, Alan Tudyk took piracy to another level with Dodgeball and cemented my love for him in the annals of my nerdy brain. All this sports talk is leaving me sweaty already and I haven't even mentioned the heat these Average Joes brought in tribute to the 2004 film. Between the brains, dedication, singing voice, artistic soul, and adventurous heart of @nebula and the strength, sincere heart, stunning looks, and beyond professional work ethic as a dedicated model with a voice to inspire women that have been through some of the same sh*t (see her Instagram) of @pulp this set was destined for greatness, or at least an Academy Award for Best Tribute. I've had the pleasure and honor to hold a few dedicated conversations with Nebs and @pulp has likely read a few of my praises for her honest and empowering posts that stand as an inspiration for anyone to read.
Between the great cosplay outfits, @saria's amazing work behind the lens, the professionalism and playful personalities of both models, and the magic of nature's light and fresh air this set is a blockbuster for sure. I can't express enough love for two people with the talent to dodge a wrench during practice for this shoot and ability to perfectly mix in their individual personalities with the rare ability to method act their roles. @nebula is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing and caring individuals to take on a marathon and find time to promote self love to individuals (like me) that could probably use a little boot to the booty to kick start it. @pulp is and always has been one of the most fascinating models I've seen across the board as she dedicates herself to giving 110% to the role she plays even if that role is becoming 100% Pulp. The love she receives on every single SOTD is a mere scoop of ice cream in this sweet bowl of her beautiful rendition. I wish I could find time to dedicate individual blogs to both for all the influence they've offered in crafting my own word-filled art as well as honoring their own creative endeavors that are pure delight to witness. I whole-heartedly love the two of you for every piece of love and art you've shared privately and publicly to me or anyone that chose to listen. There is no one in the world like either of you and though it is a bit of a shame to not have as many stars shining as brightly out there, it's a magical experience to have even one of each shining from that LA sky.
I didn't give a lot of love for the set specifically in this post, but I'm sure everyone can agree it's one of the best cosplay multis to hit SG. There are some fantastic cosplay multis that are cute and sexy like @myssa_cat_____ and @lovia's DC tribute and sweet multis that melt the heart like @kettle and @sirenn's, but this is next level tribute destined for SOTD greatness just like Average Joe's Gym (when up against Ben Stiller's Globo Gym).
@dojikko in Marigold by @sobelle
Is it right to start a commentary by admitting a lie? I stated that I had two favorite Canadians, but the truth is that I do have a third and she happens to be in the next featured set. Although we don't communicate as much as we once did, the voice of @dojikko forever rings in my head whether it's her very cute accent or the intellect she speaks when her mind awakens and lips part ways for knowledge and personality to flow freely. She also has quite the smile, to boot. Burning Desire is not only proof that @shaine kicked ass as a photographer back in 2015 but also testament to the staying power of Dojikko's smile and beauty. Well beyond the colored hair, makeup, and cute dress was a woman destined to inspire a few hearts to love and plenty minds to think. Many years later after working with both @smashbase and @lady on some fantastic sets we see a brand new set that is simple in form but so very beautiful. The beguiling beauty behind the Marigold shirt and poetically bewitching eyes provides us with a bright and dreamy representation of personality that unfolds like a slow drift into Elysium Fields. There's a gentle tone layered upon elements of confidence, strength, and mature sensuality that entices the hopeless romantic not only over her arresting appearance but also in relation to the inspired moments of honesty. If only there was a Dojikko for everyone, eh?
@evanesco in Breath Me by @sobelle
One can't say they've experienced true love until they've given a moment of appreciation for @evanesco's smile. Cute, sexy, playful, and a delight to admire from any angle, this alluring lady is as warm any human can be with the perfect perk of cuteness layered on top to deliver one lucky soul a cake they can eat, too. If her previous sets weren't enough proof of the cotton candy sweetness available to anyone willing to set aside the butterflies in their stomach for a conversation then this should be enough proof that the adorable blue frosted beauty is as tender as the look in her delightful eyes. Ever since @crisro dropped Incandescence I've been trying to work up the nerve to share a light conversation with the girl, but every time but every time I see that smile or look upon her face I turn into a nervous little schoolboy kicking rocks on the pavement in silence. I believe I've already mentioned it a few times, but once again it appears that @sobelle is at the top of her game with another lovely set because I've already mentioned two in this blog post alone and have three more coming up in the next blog post (or two) so keep an eye out for the next set she drops because it's sure to be fire!
@radiance_ in Puesta del Sol by @carolinehellcat
After featuring two of her sets in previous blogs, it's only right to bring back the beautiful @radiance_ so she can once again shine bright and gain a little extra love with the latest addition to her portfolio. All the love for the blue hair because it looks fantastic atop her head. Even without the full sun above it shimmers vibrantly in the shade. Knowing me, I could probably speak on hair all day, but we should probably move onto another favorite topic, soft curves against hard edged stoned. One of my favorite juxtapositions to see in photography is the opposition of shapes giving highlight to one another in a truly beautiful and poetic way. I've discussed a few sets like this and once featured a blog post that contained these sets (some removed from MR, sadly) and now I get to once again admire the art in (almost) motion. @radiance_ is an appropriately named charmer with her own lovely curves and irradiating eyes that glimmer in thought long after the technology that allows me to admire her is shut off for the evening.
Okay, I don't know how I missed the original posting of the Hula Hoop Fun, but I love this girl even more after being mesmerized by her moves. If anyone has attempted to play with a hoop they already know it looks way easier than it is and keeping the momentum fluid is rather tricky but beautiful to watch as it rolls continuously through some rather intricate and fun movements. All the love and respect on for that talent. #HelpHerTurnPink
@dizmay in Schoolmiss by @a_popenko
A schoolboy crush simply won't do over this sexy educational experience. The stunning @dizmay started the drum roll in my heart with Rock 'n' Roll In the Bedroom (@dimaslonik) and proved her Exquisite Sweetness (@skopintseva) was more than a tasty Lemon Pie (@darishka) as she left me with Pearl Dreams that still linger almost two months later. I'm not the only one to notice the warm glow off her soft skin as 3k people can attest to over her debut set and I am but a single drummer among many living in her Pearl Dreams and wishing I was partaking in that Lemon Pie, but I'm praying I might be the most poetic to win a spot in her heart because this cutie is a true inspirational catch. She has some beautifully intricate art adorning her already mesmerizing curves and her smile is as much a lesson in love as this set is a lesson in Office XP. I've fallen once, twice, or maybe five times already over her delicate frame and captivating gaze so it feels only right to stick around after class to learn a few more lessons with this gorgeous angel in a short plaid skirt, but the real lesson might be in avoiding such a beautiful distraction! She's a Hopeful today, but I think all the love speaks for itself when I say she'll soon be pink. I just fear if she turns pink everyone will want tutoring lessons. I guess it's a worthy sacrifice for such a charming young woman if it means her dreams require all your love when I'm just excited to share all my love. 😉 #HelpHerTurnPink
@ceres in Slow Down by @shaine
Slow Down is a spiritual successor to the vintage love of Pen Pals by @psypher. Wearing her cute dress and even cuter vintage glasses, it's pretty easy to fall in love with cat mugged tea drinking beauty that's been stealing heart for almost 10 years now. As we briefly discussed earlier, @shaine has been delivering some rather fantastic sets for years and when she set eyes on the charming @ceres and her fabulous booty, Ceres wasn't the only one smiling over the set. Sweet, sincere, and really very much truly gorgeous I can say that she could easily be a contender for one of my favorite Canadians. Between hair colors and prominent colors within each set, she's varied each one to have a veritable rainbow force of lovely art and sensuality to suit any color biased individual. Maybe she's just a vibrant soul that recognized the power and beauty of all colors so she varies things up each time?! Whatever her choice in color, we can easily see that 8 years ago, 2 years ago, and even today she remains a humble and sincere soul unafraid to share her true self through honest eyes. It's easy to be distracted by the aforementioned magical bum she no doubt wears with pride, but her smile and the facets shining brightly the soul beneath the skin are prominent features revealing her honest and open heart within each new set.
@erloria in Baguette du Fromage by @tripodski
I feel like I haven't featured enough gorgeous French women nor @tripodski enough lately so I should rectify that with this set! I'm sure neither @erloria nor @tripodski need my love among the thousands of beating hearts that crave a taste of Erloria's sweetness or Pod's constant barrage of beauties in what feels like hourly increments. What better way to follow the Stairway to Heaven (@chinaski) than to go straight to the source, France? I was originally a little late to ride the train to her beautiful village, but I caught on with her very first SOTD (before it went front page) and have been not so secretly harboring a crush ever since. I can't speak for the worldly folk as I've lived a rather small life in the Midwestern US my entire life, but when most Americans think of France and the French folk they no doubt imagine this very setting... although not everyone may imagine such an alluring woman dressed as scantily, but nothing says French like romance, right? @erloria guided me in with her Silver Light (@r_girardi) and my love of the French community has only grown since. I've followed (and loved) @marlene, @gladyce, @mandeelou, and @kwanon for as long as I can remember, but I might say she was a pivotal moment in my growing love for the entire French community and now I can't get enough of almost every single babe that was mentioned in @ropers71 recent French tribute.
I hope this International Women's tribute doesn't feel too discombobulated or sloppy because I wrote it over the course of three days between little sleep and lots of preparation for our roller derby season opener in/versus Detroit (last night) and packing for my upcoming convention weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio. A lot going on. Excuse any grammatical errors or possibly confusing communication because I rushed it a bit to squeeze in at least one post to celebrate YOU, the women in our lives. It felt like the right thing to do between all the "me" time because most of these things happening wouldn't be possibly without the coaches, trainers, mothers, roomies, and many other positions that women filled in my life this past week/end or throughout my entire life, to be honest.
This post is in honor of you, the women that work so hard to be beautiful on the inside and out for me, you, and everyone in your lives. We all approach it in different ways and many times even the best of us forget to show a little appreciation. I try to show that at least weekly if not biweekly with these appreciation posts when I can and I hope to see many follow in my footsteps so we can see the love continue to grow. I'm definitely not the first to do this and likely one of the most wordy to attempt it, but I do hope you showed some of the ladies in your lives some love this weekend and continue to do so until that final breath states "I love you."
I love you. All of you. That means you, too. I probably don't say it enough to many of you, but I hope you feel it.
Sincerely,
Xander

PS This actually took 7-9 hours over the course of three days because my brain was that busy/tired! 😮 Crazy, right?!
