I’m not gonna blow smoke up your asses.
July 2010 at SG wasn’t “all that”.
HOWEVER, I’m gonna try* and keep it positive and direct you to those sets THAT WERE (and still are!) good.
Join me, won’t you?
First up we have a great set by @temper entitled No Vag No Love .
Whenever a person enters the public realm (by doing such things...

Perhaps the natural progression of certain things is ebb and flow.
High tide—low tide.
Certain months at SG are a bit lackluster.
Compared to those months where our respective cups overfloweth.
June 2010 was rough.
But even so, there was great stuff that dropped that month.
…just not a lot of it.
The month can be summed up thusly: artless sets and fake tits.
So...

May 2010 was not mind-blowing.
But it wasn’t dismal either.
Let’s get into it.
First to draw blood was @ashly in her penultimate (?) set Coax Me .
Pretty fantastic pair of honkers there!!
Next we got @adrastea with her Hopeful debut Too Bright to See. .
I mean, first: she knows the difference between too and to.
That’s HAWT!
But seriously…
This gal got...

If you’ve ever wondered how Suicide Girls has stayed afloat all these years, look no further than the FABULOUS month of April 2010.
Truly, this has to be one of the very best eras in SG history.
And being a member of SG allows you to peruse the AMAZING archives.
Just go to “photos” and click on the drop-down menu to see years past.

March 2010 was a very strong month here at SG.
There weren’t a ton of perfect sets, but there WAS a ton of great and notable ones.
First to kick off the excellence was @venithiean in Popping Bubbles .
This gal had an AMAZING rack (and a perfect booty), but sadly, it appears to be her last attempt at going Pink.
She gave it a...

These months bother me.
Months like February 2010.
The best sets were made by Hopefuls who never went Pink.
Which is a good reminder for us: SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE HOPEFULS.
I love both Suicide Girls and Hopefuls.
What I notice about Feb. ‘10 is that SGs had “better” photography.
They found people with “good” equipment.
They probably paid them.
But four Hopefuls this month WERE...
