If you’re wondering why Suicide Girls is still around after 20+ years, look no further than the superb month of August 2010.

This month damn-near bankrupted me.

So buckle up and let’s stroll down Mammary Ln.

First up is a perfect set by @carilyn called Casting Shadows .

It was her only Hopeful set.

But she dropped in a month that was STACKED with good...

Perhaps the natural progression of certain things is ebb and flow.

High tide—low tide.

Certain months at SG are a bit lackluster.

That’s HAWT!

But seriously…
