It's been some time since I unleashed some appreciation upon y'all so it's time to drip a few drops (or gallons) of this love potion number nine on the unsuspecting fans of so many lovely lasses. I hope my absence wasn't too disruptive, but I've had some emotional ups and downs, a couple very busy weekends, and I did drop a few inspired words upon many of you. If I've not shared some proper love on your page or in private (I was occupied with a few personal situations between friends during this time as well) then don't hesitate to ask for some your direction. I have plenty love to spread around to those I call friends or familia so never give pause if you're looking for a little light to shine on some dark clouds.
It appears I have a (mostly) free month of time to spare for posts, conversation, and shenanigans so you may find me lurking around the site more often with a few extra words to spare. It will be nice to settle down and just focus on the positive (love) and prepare myself for another birthday (April 12th, if you must know). I'm not one to love or hate birthdays because I've spent so many alone in my youth and nowadays I'm happy if I find one person to conversate with or plan a cool (usually local) adventure filled with solo entertainment. I'd absolutely love to share some conversation over the wire if anyone was planning on gaming (Ps4/XB1) or... well, anything else that might allow my quick typing skills and your beautiful faces to interact. I would also enjoy sharing some more love with you if anyone would love to receive whatever I can dig out of my metaphorical pockets. I'm just getting older, but I get to do it gracefully with you around.
If you happen to be in (or around) Louisville, KY the weekend of April 20th feel free to let me know because I'll be visiting my most excellent friend (and his lovely lady) that would gladly partake in a double, triple, or quadruple date! I know that's random, but my Louis Crew is pretty rad and welcoming to any and all so they'll gladly share me if it means having a blast and conversating with new folks. Just a thought. Pizza, cuddles, conversation, and weirdness. This is how things go down when I'm around family.
Also, if you want to spread some love on @ohsammiii, @gnomi, and @lorry's sets so we could see those pink dreams come true, you'll be helping with some pretty major birthday wishes here. I don't really want anything beyond sharing a friendly conversation (for myself). Seeing my dear friends achieve their dreams is the only worthwhile "wish" for my "I was born a long ass time ago" day. Okay, so maybe I'll accept a little love one day this year to be fair with all the "self love" promotion floating around the site but don't push it. There are standards of appreciation and excellence to follow and I can't do from a self-loving man cave. I don't even have a man cave. Me cave, maybe. Ah, doesn't matter. Let's get on with the show.
@sarahmoon in You Can't Say Sarah Doesn't Love You by @kzphotography
I take back everything I said about not wanting anything for my birthday next month and put @sarahmoon as number 1 on that wish list. What's a dream if it actually comes true, right? They are called dreams because they are exactly that, but it won't stop this old heart of mine beating a thousand times a minute for this charming, gorgeous, delightful, dreamy, sexy goddess. Her eyes are a gateway to the wildest netherrealm known to man. Her lips curve into this delicious smile that tastes like the first birthday cake to ever hit your lips. Her curves delicately designed to perfect form with some amazing ink (here's looking at you, Darth). I could rave all day about this dreamy little lady that went pink with the help of @shaine.
I guess I should be less selfish and request a little extra love on all of her other sets as well. @sirenerouge's Covet is the most innocent sin you'll ever commit over and over again in your thoughts. Roam the Room by @aurralee is equivalent to the Wonder Twins featuring the fantastic duo of my favorite Canadians. Though, I would gladly add @aurraleeas another wish because she's too damn cute to not love herself. @leemale's Promise Everything should have at least twice the love it currently has. Seriously, it is one of @leemalee's best shot sets and (no offense meant to all the lovely girls that have hit front page the past 6 months) deserved SOTD long ago. Stardust is amazing and worth it's weight in front page gold as the SOTD that earned her pink status, but it still feels like a house fire compared to that staircase forest fire of a set. Right now, I am declaring my request to drop all of your love on that set and get it FP. Now. This very moment. Drop everything and love that piece of magic!
Don't forget @kezia, @just_sick, @psypher, @haileigh, and @joelaphoto's sets either. They are all worthy of so much more love. Sarah is absolutely breath-taking, she put all of herself into each set. She has nineteen sets! Talk about dedication and love for the site as well as modeling. Through the varied themes and color palettes as well as revealed nuances to her personality it's a collection of every dream you've ever remembered all from one little lady. I would love to (at the very least) one day give the squishiest squeeze for an awkwardly long time to this woman, but until she graces me with that honor (can I politely request that for the future right now?) let's settle for another SOTD. Leemalee's Promise Everything is my number #1 personal choice, but I'll settle for any sets you could love.
@verrin in Blue Dream by @alissa
In my humble opinion, Technicolor should have gone front page last year. I think it's one of @alissa's best shot sets with plenty vibrant color variety as well as delivering an elegant experience offering an homage to vintage pinup styling. The location was romantically warm, modeling was perfect in every shot with sensually humble poses, and @verrin added just the right amount of sweetness to an exquisite moment. The set was Playboy with a modern twist. I've not stopped thinking about the set in regards to model, photographer, or overall composition since it's debut in April of 2018. Check off another wish if you'd help me by helping these two out by turning her pink with one of the best composed sets (across thematic material, color, and just about every artistic element) of 2018. In truth, it still holds fairly well as competition for many of my own favorited sets this year.
Dream is more model-focused than then her debut effort, but that's not a bad thing. @verrin is a veritable force of beauty that can easily instill inspiration to other models as well as throbbing hearts such as my own. She's a breath-taking vision of such elegant curves and delivers as much tenderness as sensuality in this bright (and heavily blue) set. My eyes may have traced her figure into memory for wild fantasies to sate my romantic soul in sleep, but her eyes are a true hypnotic dream and those lips dusted my heart with sugar and amphetamines when the cracked a gentle smile. I wish I knew Verrin better because she's an absolute winsome woman. Knowing Alissa from way back in the day of Ohio cons and parties adds much more personality to her own view from behind the lens and makes these recipes that much more delectable. Her debut was right after last year's birthday and this one is not long before, so let's imagine that's a sign we should make a very reasonable wish come true, eh? Verrin turned pink with her own SOTD. #HelpHerTurnPink
@rubyalexia and @killpop in Sunshine of Your Love by @tripodski
The gracefully curvaceous @rubyalexia teamed up with her raven-haired counterpart known as the Bewitching Beguiler... err... I meant @killpop to bring this darkest day to light. Dressed in all black and soaking up the sun rays, these two lovely lasses quickly drain hearts like vivacious vampires prepping themselves for a night of partying and pure ecstasy. Gladly giving of my lifeblood and rhythmic heartbeats to fuel their dance moves and night on the town, I drift slowly into the fantastical though patterns of hypnosis within seconds of connecting with their gazes. Lush greens and bright sun paint a little color into the dark essence of seductive wisdom they stir between soft lips and sexually enticing hips. Though they don't share any intentional theme, it's almost as if Pod wanted to deliver a spiritual successor with a more matured filter of fire and brimstone intermixed with heaven's delights from his own previous work on Killpop's Sun Rays of Spring (hinted quietly by the title). That may be a slight stretch, but between model and photographer there is an obvious connection that has grown much like a sweet crush into lusted after heartthrob. Though I do say "lust" with poetic pronunciation versus the base desire that surely hits the best of us when first learning what these two do in the in the light when we're not seeing what they "Do in the Shadows". Perhaps that might be the perfect cosplay sequel for a couple gothic birds or maybe it's a simple suggestion for any identifying goths out there looking to do a cute gothic tribute to the vampire comedy. Not all cosplays need to be costume accurate if it's a tribute theme, right? ๐ค
@kezia in Clarity by @the_evil_eye
Now we unveil the latest set by the photographer that delivered us the cutest red-bunned @lorettarose, the gorgeous @lunablu in one of my favorite sets to feature those hypnotic eyes, a lot of @sarahmoon (and we all know how I feel about her - see above), the curvy and perfectly delightful @andrealynn (she also worked with @lady and @sobelle and she's still a hopeful? Come on guys. She is f'n gorgeous ๐), @lo_ (I don't know how I almost forgot this sweet cutie, but I miss her so), the super generous and kind @eminence in a set beyond worthy of front page, multiple sets featuring one of my favorite smiles of all time @chalk (she should have been pink long ago), the friendly and also purple haired (in this set) @caraphernelia, the petite dream babe @ramen, and many others including @dollie, @silvery, @delaney, @syduck, @jessacat, and @sirenerouge. Do both @kezia and I a favor by checking out her sets as a photographer and showing more love because many of the SGs deserve another SOTD and some of these hopefuls would perfectly represent all that is SG.
The purple passion for hair, photography, and lovely ladies is not missed in the latest set by this photographer/model and many of you can already hear the repeated whispers of purple love dripping from this boy's panting tongue. She has a killer smile that penetrates the heart at all the right moments, a radical concept for a tattoo ("feelings" on her fingers that I have never noticed before now), drool-worthy lady curves, and a pair of eyes just as great at capturing lovely ladies as captivating boys' (and girls') hearts. Simple and va-va-voom-vivacious, this set is ready to deliver you from lazy day to bouncing around because your heart just took a hit of some emotional amphetamines laced with 10 shots of espresso. Go love now! #HelpHerTurnPink
Brief intermission: Let's pink @chalk. Add that to my birthday wish list. Sweet, charming, gorgeous, and all around dream woman. I'd marry this girl if the gods were ever so kind. Let's see she earns what she deserves. ๐
@cleodora in Terrace Tease by @sobelle
Although this set hits every biased favorite of mine on the nose, this @sobelle set is still a spectacular collection of beautiful shots perfectly representing the SG community. Starting with my biased love of the color purple, adoration for the human form and the limits to which it will (quite literally) bend, plenty smiles to shine on when the sun breaks for the evening, and beautifully interpreted pieces of talent and personality delivered through sensual imagery. The purple lingerie a sexy splash of color upon her perfectly curated feminine curves ignite a sensual romance between the admirer and dreamy contortionist. No matter how many times my brain recorded proof that the once seemingly impossible was a simple misperception of physical limits I still find awe within the inspired beauty of the dance. Through Blackheart Burlesque and still life photos, my heart wraps gently around her curvature as she stretches from toe to head to form a new language all her own. Limited interactions might detour the short-sighted, but that genuine smile, creative spirit, and sweet personality that punches through the layers of two dimensional still life is enough to wonder if a multiverse version of myself was lucky enough to find tangled up in her daily contortions as well as linked to that warm heart. Lucky other multiverse me. This set itself was an early birthday gift unintended to be specifically mine, but I'll accept the stars aligned in the sky to make this a visual reality that made my month. If pizza was involved with this set @cleodora would likely have to beat me with a bat to keep me away. ๐๐
Ask me now if I want anything that is truly for self, not just selfless wishes and the answer lies within my words above. Interpret my love and affectionate words as you may. It's a simple equation to be easily answered by photographer, model, or even close friend. Solve the riddle and I'll accept your gift. Proper timing excused, of course. ๐๐
@silhen in Tea Time by @kasha
I don't know who first stated that "smiles, booty, and tea are the keys to true happiness", but that person was a genius. @silhen has an hourglass figure and a bum as hypnotic as the seductive gemstones implanted perfectly above that generous smile. Brew up a delicate blend of herbal tea to whet the physical taste buds and this romantic date is anything but a lazy day. Deep, vibrant red and the sexy sheen of black provide a swirl of honey to the neutral hue of the background. The sun washing over soft skin with shadows wrapping delicately across the elegant outlines of her feminine frame. A mug of tea may warm the hands that embrace the organic beverage, but the heat provided by this sexy Brazilian will warm the soul to the core well before the hot liquid caresses the tongue with bursts of flavor. To all the lovely ladies that sip a cuppa from @aelin to @asxna to @ivory and many more, cheers! As for the lovely Brazilian ladies that entertained my heart before @silhen dropped by as a cute Kitty Kat (@andrealaz) leading me to the hot chocolate dream Marshmallow Lovers, I'm still yours. ๐ It's tea time in my heart and I'm ready for the longest conversation you'll allow, dear @silhen. Pour me a cup and let's kick off an all day word affair.
@psylo in Cross Your Mind by @sobelle
I promised a lot of Sobelle sets to be featured in my blog posts and this is a mere rest stop on the map to more snogs on those smiling cheeks of hers than she'll ever be able to handle. @psylo is an adorable delight to sweeten any sight with a bright smile and vibrant personality that flows through her bright red lips as much as it does her irresistibly charming eyes and playful poses throughout the set. She's a cherry in vibrant red atop a lush green sundae. There's an organic procession as the set unfolds with natural nuances from candid poses to a deeper involvement of the plant life that surrounds this quaint and romantic area. The less staged capture of this free-spirited youth offers what feels an appropriate deliverance of personality that is many times a bit subdued in favor of themes and overall design of this photographic medium. In no way am I saying we are fed what we believe we wish to perceive because both model and photographer are offered free reign to deliver the best art possible mixed with the appropriate amount of personality throughout the images. We see the truth behind the bare skin in ever photo gifted to us as members of the community, but sometimes we get something a little more candid and fun to express a deeper notion of what the model (and even photographer) may be all about in their own lives behind the scenes.
I'll take a big, bright personality like this delivered with endless smiles any day. When I find the love of a woman, I hope she shares this youthful exuberance mixed with more than enough shine for the both of us. I didn't know @psylo before this shoot but now I want to know everything about the young star that competes with the sun itself in midday light.
@victoriaboness in He's No Good To Me Dead
Can you guess what I'm about to say in regards to this set? Just the right amount of purple to grab my eyes and coat them with passion, that smile more arresting than any blaster handled by a Mandalorian, and another lovely tribute to combine the forces of Princess @nilly and Heart Hunter @victoriaboness into the babes I'm looking for while scouring Tattooine for the best. Her bum may induce a little jealousy over the R2-D2 sized folks ๐ with the perfect view, but her personality and entrancing eyes allow for some acceptance of my taller disposition with lifted eyesight. The set is an inspiration for a little nude Nerf battle between rebels and the Empire. Any takers? Winner decides the fate of the wounded during the late evening hours. ๐
Edgy with a capital X, sexy with another capital X, and creating cool art when she's not dancing away the nights or fetching bounties for folks like Jabba... not with a capital X makes her one cool cat to follow. Just be cautious of the high heels and lightning rod powers because she's part Pikachu and part ninja. The way she dances elegantly on a pole is a show of that assassin heritage. Mount up, Mandalorians, it's time to lay down the love. #HelpHerTurnPink
@janesinner in A Kind of Magic by @minuminula
How is @janesinner involved in a set that hasn't hit 4k hearts yet with over 100k followers?! This breath-taking babe has abs that look great under any light or lack thereof, a head of hair so luxuriously red that it might be mistaken as silky lava flowing from the most beautiful volcano of passion, and curves to inspire any artist to imitate in their own medium. Her smile a sweet heat like a gently layered candied jalapeno, soft skin a canvas for some beautifully colorful artwork, and every pose worthy of praise and admiration by model, member, and photographer alike. Her freckles adding as much personality as her smile barely whisper in the set, but they peek through the layer of two dimensional space to kiss the thoughts of admirers such as myself. She's come a long away and matured so much in six years from the super cute and youthful Vivid girl next door with green hair to supermodel as her shirt exclaims with an emphasis on "super". Working with some of the top photographers across SG she's been no stranger to the front page with more SOTDs than most models have in their overall portfolio. Taking a turn to provide high quality photography for the popular model, @minuminula is lined up to once again find herself on the front page soon enough.
As a fan of @minuminula's work, it would be great to see more of her sets hit front page and earn some of these lovely ladies accolades with more SOTDs under their belts. The dreadlocked @milagros, the super sweet and ultra sexy @indaco, and one of my other big redhead crushes (and favorite smiles) @peachhes all released sets just this month. The vivacious @viky, swelteringly hot @slim, my dream lover @mandeelou, the wondrous @ekiburton, long time SG @krito and that sweet heart of hers, the ultra babely @jupiter, cosplay addict and gorgeous human @eveowl, super lovely @souffle, and Blackheart Burlesque dancer @lauretta all have sets deserving of so much more love. I love and support these women with all my heart. Minuminula may not show her freckled face often, but behind the camera she's a wizard. Let's help a few of these sets go SOTD, shall we?
@zirael in Morning Bath by @ridmovies
I wish I knew more about this slender lass, but beyond my admiration of her perfectly petite frame and the violet whisper hued hair I find myself grazing upon her Elysium fields behind a sheer mask. Although it might sound sexualized or strange, I have an overwhelming urge to grasp gently those lovely naked hips and breathe in every delightful inch almost as a sculptor might consider to examine the finalized work of another beautiful masterpiece. Though you won't see an artist looking to dance with an immovable marble statue, there is an inspired essence to gain through a simple touch and visual examination of every blemish, curve, and connection of the art that many of us take for granted with a mere extended glance. The violet shading in her hair, blue water in the tub, and the mixture of green vegetation and white walls provide a delicate romance between color and form. Her previous work with @ridmovies are no less fantastic, but feel like simplified date nights to this more colorful approach to setting the right mood for deeper admiration of every accentuation.
There is no equivalent to the sensation of touch. Every embrace is physically and emotionally warming, yet to caress bare skin and feel every ridge, soft curve, and even the light pulsation of the heart just below the surface is emotional art, for lack of a better descriptive term. Most of us likely sexualize touch when we lightly drag our fingers or hands across the bare landscape of another human forwarding into a penetrative encounter, but to feel with our hearts through physical touch whether friend or more is without a rival the most intimate emotive and artistic experience. Map every curve in cooperation with the sense of sight and the situation soon becomes a surrealistic study of the art of the biological machine. We become cartographers of emotions and bodyscapes of the person we've come to intimately study and, in turn, can discover the true connection beyond similar interests or other shallow connections. It doesn't mean our shared interest in Zelda or pizza is any less meaningful, but there is a possibility to connect on a deeper and more empathic level when sight and touch become part of our personal perception of someone. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm onto something, but this is the thought that crossed my mind when viewing this set.
@peachhes in Hypnotize by @minuminula
@peachhes is hot and by hot I mean that she is the sweetest treat since peach flambe atop a fresh scoop of vanilla bean ice cream at a local creamery. Her plump lips the flavor of peach schnapps, smiling with a warmth that flambes the tender fruit before pouring it gently on her soft and creamy curves scooped perfectly from the fresh churned barrel of beauty. Her eyes and wondrous cheek structure a menu of the delectable desserts about to sate the heart. She's a curvaceous delight of colored sprINKles as pleasing to the eye as to the lips parting ways to garnish the soul with flavorful dreams.
One of my favorite smiles that I've mentioned many times over along with @fresa and @chalk (throw in @kettle and @channy to touch out this "smile gang"), she's be an innocent obsession of mine that has ignited a few fires to burn on my twisted tongue when admiring her gorgeous assets as well as being just enough distraction for my eyes to remain in gentlemanly fashion when her cheeks pull inward as her lips stretch to meet the further corners of her eyes. Adorned with a cosmic collection of colors in her diamond eyes she sets the standards for the gravitational pupil setting centered of each dream inducing iris. I love @tripodski's trio of Queens, but this is the Queen of Hearts making her collection four of a kind favoring the lovely Red Queen designed specifically to entrance the hearts of anyone with a hand on the table. Now if only I could win this hand of strip poker and get straight to her heart. ๐๐ ๐
@birdi in Twinkle Toes by @lady
What is an appreciation post without at least one set by the lovely @lady herself? This is the same photographer that turned this cat lover into @birdi and brought the world their first full taste of the humble and sweet @kaliva. This second set featuring the "panty fact" nerd is sure to set a few fires and launch you into flight a second, third, or fourth time through so don't hesitate to come back and book your seat now. Though I loved the purple hair with my biased opnion, I will admit the blue suits the woman and set perfectly. Every bit a twinkle of stars and toes, her tender appearance, gentle eyes, and girl next door beauty is everything.
I'm rather sad she moved far away before ever befriending and realizing she was a short drive across the state border. Sometimes angels fly away to find bigger and softer clouds to hang out on, right? I know I find bigger marshmallows to put into my s'mores so I don't blame the choice for more fluff. I do believe a congratulations is in order for her second SOTD and though I do love my @lady, it's obvious she was destined to combine her sweet and caring personality with the SG melting pot. A spoonful of sugar added to this community recipe and I do believe we've all become better for it. If you're hanging out in Hawaii be sure to send her some hugs from the Midwest. @birdi, I'm sure I've said it once, twice, or three times before but I've always believed in you and it's great to see you've come this far in the year I've known you. I'm a better and more inspired person for it and I know you're remaining the humble sweetheart next door despite making it to the stars to initiate the journey to the great beyond just past the next few planets.
@pennyarcher in Postcards From the Ace by @darryldarko
Gathering almost 6k followers and having two SOTDs averaging 4.1k hearts, it'd be hard to imagine anyone unfamiliar with this golden-hearted beauty. Favoring gentle shadows over the brightly lit SOTDs by @saria and @kyledlc, this set is a more humble follow up to @floydian's warmly lit offering. Under any light her gracious beauty reaches far and wide to release a dose of love and inspiration on any hearts willing to follow her lead. Her skin a soft canvas for floral design permanently etched in ink a perfect representation of the blossoming beauty as she charms with a smile. Her lips delicate petals leaving traces of sweet smelling pollen to fertilize inspired thought. Although red appears to be her color, bewitching more than enough souls to send her flying to front page quicker than she could say "hello, I'm new here", the golden color of her lingerie yields the essence of a field of Sunflowers calling attention her gently curved frame and winsome face. This humble girl next door with elegantly free-flowing hair highlighted by a dash of golden sun is sure to win a few hearts beyond my own. ๐
@zahir in Bonhomia by @livay
Crushing on this beguiling woman was only the beginning when @crisro released not one, but two amazing sets that left my heart beating for this cocoa-eyed sweet delight. Simple and relaxed yet sexy enough to spike the heart to a concerning rate, her sweet seduction reveals not only her delectable curves but a smile that drips honey with sticky results. This concern may not affect the calico kitten seated atop the couch, but this addiction to her slender frame and amaretto flavored eyes might send me to rehab if I don't quit revisiting her sets on a regular basis. I never thought a white tank and pair of shorts could look so sexy or entice my bum to seat itself closer in hopes of romance, yet this third set lit a fire that sparked the tinder in my heart. @livay is quite the dream herself with many heart-melting sets including her latest, Sashimi shot by @lumyoukai, which is as fun as it is sexy. Obviously, casting a love spell with a few clicks of the camera was inherently linked to her DNA.
@indaco in The Old Man and the Sea by @minuminula
"The gorgeous @indaco a sweet fire presented with proper kindling thanks to the lovely @minuminula. Every line of ink and soft curve a piece of beautiful dreams dancing playfully like the words of a poet or great author. The only struggle for this old man and the slender marlin teasing his loving gaze is the distance between hearts that saw the free soul swimming and the old man yearning. Mapping out every ounce of dyed skin and gentle curve, taking note of every soft smile and gentle gaze from eyes the color of an ocean lit, I dream of one day such a catch making it's way into my old rickety boat. The sea can be a gentle mother and grant dreams when one opens their eyes." - repeating my own commentary.
It's tough to top my own words at times. Indaco's hypnotic eyes swirling like a welcoming whirlwind of warm arms embracing the soul below the surface of simple flesh, her smile entrancing like the voice of a lover's poem over the sounds of a gentle sea, curves inked in variety speaking volumes of the heart's desires just below her gracious smile. Read me a story, dear @indaco, and allow your voice to carry me to dreams of a romance a soul like mine forever desires in the arms of a an engaging beauty such as yourself.
@lilymai in Lumiere du Matin by @ayah
There's something surreal about @lilymai that embraces the heart like a poet embraces pen, prepared to elate words of love adventurous and dreams so close to reality that lines begin to blue. Her smile an elegant curvature as warm as the gentle ocean in her eyes envelop thought. Much like the bottle floating at sea containing the elations of Romeo to his Juliette a two day sail away, she is the very whisper of a flower echoing the petals ring upon bloom. It's not easy to portray emotions into verbal thoughts scribbled upon paper or entered into digital format though effort is made to honor and pay tribute to particular beauties that instill inspiration beyond simple guidance. This morning light is only the beginning of romance, a candle to the fires burning within each chamber of heart. She smiles and stretches her petite form to create the shape of love in the eyes of truth. These are the emotions I share with my dear friend @nickstone and hope to see more like hearts sharing in the reception of such natural beauty.
@purr in I'm Your Princess, Mario? by @pre_helga
The gorgeous cosplay princess does it again with a tribute to Mario this time around. I can't help but think what a magical team up the star-powered duo of @gnomi as 1up Girl (@tripodski) and @purr as Bowsette would make together. Although my mind is still in After Party mode (@dasha_dida), the love hangover lingers well into this sixth set. One of the best cosplay models to hit the scene, she always features plenty of personality mixed with the character she portrays and succeeds at pulling together great costumes and locations to fulfill the chosen themes. Along with the latest set by newly pinked @mistress (see below), these may be two of my favorite cosplay sets to hit SG so far in 2019. Bowsette is a fairly new character (along with Boosette) to be featured in fanart and cosplay, but Nintendo's long standing history and fan base proved to feed a growth mushroom into the two non-game characters delivering them into the realm of most sought after character crushes today. Though not everyone will agree on favorite game (or non-game) character crushes, there is no denial that many of us have seen any number of these characters showing up on Instagram or at conventions around the world. ๐ค
@purr herself is the sweetest little thing to hit the cosplay scene with a talent and maturity well beyond her young age. Her smile sincere and inspiring, her eyes an open letter to fans and friends alike, and spirit adventurous and energetic, she took SG by storm much like Mario did when the NES console first hit the market. Now, she sits upon her throne as pinup extraordinaire and shares love like a humble denizen of the community. Now that I think of it, wouldn't it be great to see a @karanlit and @purr cosplay multi? ๐๐
@sirena in Ginger Kitty by @pisces
In the perfect follow-up to Delicate by @thimeow, this ginger kitty left me purring loud enough to wake the neighbors. I love a sexy Brazilian (as you've noted in many of my blogs before this), but not many have come close to the hellfire she's ignited in my chest with her sultry gaze. Her eyes blazing hot cocoa with a habanero kick and body a curvaceous tanker full of gasoline waiting for the match to strike once your gaze catches hers, the only saving grace from being completely engulfed in these flames too hot to touch is that saccharine sweet smile that eases the burn like a bath filled with aloe. The weak at heart may have suffered a heart attack or two and those that gaze upon her hourglass figure may spontaneously combust when eyes linger too long, but once the opportunity sets in to see beyond the hypnotic dance of her lovely lady bits there's a world of surreal beauty and humility that exceeded even my forgiving expectations. Her kind heart is a gentle, warm embrace of soothing words and soon the fires she bestowed upon my roaring lungs slowed to a romantic whisper of dreams cuddled in her arms.
I'm not one to judge intentionally the personality of any person, but my time spent here has opened my heart wider to see that the most angelic and devilish of beauties that have displayed body and soul aren't always the unreachable dreams or desires we unintentionally assume. As an introverted and shy poet looking for love, I have found myself pulling away from such beauties as this under some whispered suggestion that my very presence wasn't worthy of such beauty, talent, or intelligence only to be proven wrong once I silenced the lying devil on my shoulder. Though my words may be stuttered and unintelligible were I to meet such a charming young lady while ignoring the wrongly accusational thoughts fluttering like butterflies in my belly, I've at least accepted that book covers are sometimes more humble and honest once you pick them up to feel the weight. That binding may have been waiting for your hands to open the pages and add an extra crease of experience created from the love of words/emotions.
Intermission: I'm going to be "selfish" again with this wish and cast that additional line on the birthday list to include "the love of a curvy, beautiful (possibly Brazilian) babe like @sirena". ๐๐๐๐
Also, I can't wait to review yet ANOTHER set she just released in an upcoming blog so expect more of the drop dead gorgeous Sirena filled with more words on my addiction and obsession. ๐
@brunam in My Soft Pullover by @kasha
If I'm going to sate my addiction to Brazilians, or better yet curvalicious Brazilians then I have to include the delightfully bright and perfectly proportioned @brunam. Her lush exterior is a soft pillow bedding my thoughts as they drift into a fantastical dream world overlooked by chocolate sweet eyes and warmed by the caring caress of her smiling lips. Though not directly black and white, the minimal use of colors allows her curves to flourish and paint the majority of emotion through admiring sight. The warm light casting a gentle shadow, her hair casting light waves as it drapes upon soft cheek and melts upon her lovely bosom. though my heart flutters in excitement, the quiet romance settles the mood in perfect balance.
"Not much can beat the beautiful curves of a Brazilian from flourished hips to bountiful bosom, but @brunam may very well be from another planet as she seduces the thoughts from my brain and directs the flow of lifeblood like a conductor throughout every vein. Just beneath the surface of her bright smile and below her strong brewed coffee flavored eyes lies a warm energy that jolts awake my every sense beyond the ability to see or yearn to touch. The sense of love, admiration, and breath of life all emanating from the lovely lass that @kasha captured with gentle eyes that still would have left me dreaming steadily upon the floor at first glance." - unable to top my own commentary, I had to share my original thoughts!
@adastra in Summer Skin by @leemalee
What happens when @nebula recommends a set and @leemalee happens to be the photographer? You inevitably check it out with heart-stopping results. I was barely prepared when First Contact (@saria) dropped into MR quickly earning her a spot on the front page with a SOTD, but lacking that contact beyond a few admiring words sent her direction also inevitably meant that my forgetful nature would forget to be prepared for this set to drop. I always love a girl in glasses, but when she features curves like these and drops a sophomore effort into MR for an unprepared soul like mine I was surely going to slip out of my chair and take a breather while attempting to recuperate. Next time I do believe I'll prepare myself with a friendly conversation rather than relying on my baser instincts to kick in and allow her smile and curves to throw me through a vortex of OMGs and painful tongue twists while attempting to discover proper words to describe the babe herself.
Beyond my physically unattractive awe-dropped jaw stupidly dragging across the floor I can still find a few words to create tinder for the fire of inspiration based on this natural themed set. There have been many beautifully shot outdoor sets and most tend to be in backyards or locations that offered a little more freedom to pull off the perfect shoot by literally being a few steps outside the back door, but when it comes to venturing deeper into the woods with proper timing for light and exposure this set definitely set a nice standard. The scene is perfectly lit with enough foliage to provide some shade preventing the whitewash effect from the sun yet also open enough to allow breathing room for the light so it doesn't end up like many outdoor (and even indoor) sets that appear a bit darker, losing some of that luster of life. The location is beautiful itself, reminding me of the perfect spot to gather thoughts and admire the beauty of nature... or a perfectly gorgeous nude nearby, in this case. Honestly, I'm beginning to believe @leemalee was meant to focus on outdoor shoots after delivering sets featuring the likes of @ultrav, @tattooedjane, @mariselle, and @x_starr. I love a Leemalee set, but I do think I now favor a little more natural light and color under her eye.
@caelyx in Lady Leopard by @just_sick
What do you get when you cross @caelyx with a leopard? A hot set. The third kitty to be featured in this appreciation post (don't forget the hidden calico cameo in @zahir's set), this seductive redhead looks just as great in red red as she does with a cat's ears. I have to admit Violet Sugar by @leemalee is still my favorite due to a little color bias as well as her ability to intimately meld the colors of red and purple. Also, there's nothing like a redhead shooting another redhead. ๐๐
This red freckled minx still looks stunning surrounding by a collaboration of colors creating a nice rainbow background to deliver an almost out of body mind melting experience when focusing on aligning the cute freckles into constellations along every curve all the while the background colors become a kaleidoscope of mind-bending visual music to accompany the living dream. Though that might be far reaching for some, I do enjoy believing that freckles are an emotionally and visually stimulating natural art form that ignites the imagination to create something much deeper than the simple skin deep beauty laid before us. I'm not claiming that her beauty is merely skin deep, but much like the clear night sky speckled with little lights there is much more to be seen once everything connects into a bigger and brighter picture, right? This red fox... or more accurately, leopard, is poised and ready to hunt for that love so drop a few more hearts and let's see this set as the next SOTD!
@jacqui_daniels in Money For Nothing
I grew up listening to Dire Straits, but I wish I grew up next to @jacqui_daniels instead! She was one of the first girls I connected with over conversation after an extended leave of absence from the site and we've been friends ever since! Always one to add a little rock to every roll and share nothing but some positive spirit, smiles, and super sexy pinup shots from outside the site, she's been the Stone when I've been Rolling and inspired me right. This latest set has me begging, "I want my MTV" back to the days before it became reality television and garbage mainstream music with heavy emphasis on pop and rap versus an all encompassing music channel. I don't know what airs these days on the station, but I do remember the days of Dire Straits. I also remember discovering her over a year ago, I believe just before Somewhere Up North hit MR and have been obsessed with her whole body tattoo design as much as her smile or some of the amazing pinup shots she's shared since. This theme isn't as vibrant or colorful as some of her previous sets, but there is still a very rich feel to the more neutral and subdued colors involved as well as plenty exposure of the beautifully curved woman herself. Pick up a guitar and strum along to the sweet tune she'll play on your heartstrings.#HelpHerTurnPink
@mistress in I Am Your Khaleesi by @gemmaedwardsuk
Just in time for the return of Game of Thrones, @mistress unleashed the fire as the Mother of Dragons. Bringing the Khal Drago in me to my knees, I fell in love with not only the amazing cosplay theme but the Skater Chick (@hylian) behind the blue dress as well. It's not just her killer curves and dominatrix style the whips my bottom into subservient eternal love, but the kind heart behind her warm soulful eyes and smile that rivals the heat of dragon's breath that left me longing as Jon Snow did over Ygritte or Tormund over Brienne. Her own inner strength not far from the character she portrays, this was the set we never saw coming (until she decided to unveil the trailer for the new "season"). I may belong to House Stark, but for a beauty like this my lips would meet heel to honor the strong willed Queen of the North.
Here comes the birthday wish I can't ask for; a session with this lovely lady. Guess I'll have to fantasize and enjoy GoT when it comes back to HBO in the meantime. Maybe next year. ๐๐ค
@orangette in I Need a Hero by @natalia_randle
This cute redhead looks a lot more like a fun-loving Mary Jane discovering Peter's outfit and giving it a spin while he's out of town doing non superhero work. Who doesn't love the wise-cracking Parker and all of his Spidey antics?! Also, who doesn't love @orangette when she dropped that ultra-violent Ultra-Orange (@akril) to pick up a few web crawling powers and light-hearted humor. Still wearing that chipper smile and looking as beautiful as ever, she crwled her way into my heart after reading a few chapters from Pete's Spider-verse diary. Luckily, he wasn't around when the heart eyes took over and my crush grew deeper for the playful smile and sexy antics. I wonder if Aunt May might offer any advice to winning her heart. Maybe standing outside her window with Bonnie Tyler's "I Need a Hero" playing on the radio might do the trick! ๐โค๐ท
@liya in Cool Down by @hmp_photo
I don't know if "cool down" is the right phrase for this situation, but the cold shower after viewing it is a requirement. Looking absolutely colorful and fabulous in her paisley patterned bikini, this smiling beauty with long lustrous hair and hypnotically seductive curves is just as dreamy (if not more) than she was when she first said Peekaboo! Maybe she showers with waters from the fountain of youth or maybe that spider injected a youthful venom that curated her very essence into something more gorgeous than even she expected became part of her and just appears as a tattoo, but whatever the truth is behind the ravishing and illustrious beauty of the magnificent @liya there is nothing that can stop this 250bpm heart without causing a violent crash. Though her hips and that delightfully entrancing booty look great through shower door glass, the one thing that I will always take to heart is that smile and the heartfelt glimmer in her sweetly seductive eyes. If you're going to fall in love with a woman that looks as great on the outside as she does below the surface then make sure that shower can turn just as low as it does high otherwise you may just burn up in the middle of winter.
@orion in So Fresh and So Clean by @injected_photo
The subdued lighting in this set barely manages to capture the full essence of this bright beauty, but what is love without a little romantic lighting? I don't know why all Ohio girls can't be this gorgeous and be single as well because this old poet's heart has been searching far too long for the right one. No matter where she roams across the world, @orion is as fresh and clean as she claims with Outkast likely playing on her Pandora radio in the background at any given moment. I grew particularly fond of the purple hair in Sugar and Spice by @emilyaltair, but when I see sets like Turquoise Dream by @sobelle (told you I'd mention her a lot more) or Purify... I see she likes to shower and bathe a lot. Oh, I meant, she looks great as a brunette as well. Not many lovely ladies represent Ohio when the Midwest comes to mind, but this gorgeous woman fulfills desires upon first glance and keeps it fresh every step of the way.
I know this blog was lengthier than usual and long overdue, but I was looking forward to this comeback more than you realize. Writing these blogs overs a freedom from the mundane, a chance to share little romantic quips and thoughts, moments to reflect on the beauty within the art of the sets, and most of all it gives me the chance to properly thank and show appreciation to the models and photographers that make this happen every day. I wouldn't be here without friends like @nickstone, @kungfury, @silentobjectorx, @kaptaine, @yogi64, @gpryme, @ojtheviking and the few ladies left that haven't taken the dive into hopeful territory (though I'm proud you've taken that leap, you know who you are). I've befriended so many more people since my last birthday so I guess you could say my 2018 wishes have come true even if some of the BS in life still pops up in work and family situations.
I never ask for much and I've been blessed with so many friendships, little gifts here and there, so much support for my words of appreciation and shoulders when I need to shed a few tears. I do hope that you, my readers, can help some of these pink dreams come true for my dear friends. My own wishes are intermixed with commentaries on the many sets I reviewed, but love left on all of these sets whether SOTD or not is greatly appreciated by myself as well as the people involved. They work real hard bringing us amazing art and keep me smiling when life gets rough. Share the love.
I don't actually have plans for my own Birthday next month and it's a mere three weeks away at this point. Sometimes I treat myself to a lunch or dinner and other days I play video games until I get a headache from staring at the screen too long. I don't know what I'll be doing, but if anyone wants to hang out and chat I won't turn you away. ๐
I've filled this blog with enough words for one day so let's end this for now. I promise the next blog entry will be published much sooner.
@rambo @missy @sean (love all three of you ๐)
Thank you for all the love over the past year.

(If I'm forgetting you and you read/like this post, I apologize. There are too many awesome hearts here to remember by name! Gah! Also, I didn't forget about the "Special Xander Appreciation Post". I've been busy with this post, catching up on set commentaries, and still have 60 more sets to "appreciate" so I'm working in what I can. Love you all!)
