How I Chose My SG Name....

25

A short story.

It was the year 2005. You could change your username at will. I really liked the band Rilo Kiley, and Rilo seemed too silly. 🤷🏼♀️

I hate Kylie Jenner and what she's done to the name. I do like, however, that my name is a real name. I mean, Kiley could be my real name and you wouldn't know it.

Mental Health Check In!

21

My friend has been doing this every few days on Facebook and it seems to help, so I'm borrowing her idea. Sometimes we just need to share where our minds are at, without any stigma or fear of being judged.

So tell me, how is your mental health today?

It's appalling, but thanks for asking :)
eldamon:
I'm financially stable. Not quite mentally, but working on it. 

Why men think women HAVE to respond to their comments or messages is beyond me.

That being said, I never honestly expect any sort of reply. The vast number of people on this site makes it mandatory to never expect anything. It's just.. nice, ya know?

It has happened that men blocked me because I did not respond to messages on social networks. I just reply to messages from friends and work.I have a life outside the internet, not how to stop and stay answering messages from strangers that is just 'hi' 😂😂

Is "cosplay" just another word for "lightly themed"?

@littlejohn22 I completely agree as well.  I spent 2 years and literally hundreds of dollars creating my Gwenpool cosplay, I sewed my Captain Marvel cosplay 100% by hand, no sewing machine at all, etc, etc.  I've never just got a t-shirt or some simple crap and threw it together and called it cosplay.  I would call that "casual" or "everyday" cosplay, but not cosplay proper.  Even this weekend at Denver Comic Con, there were so many "lazy cosplays", and our little community of comic nerds/cosplayers, etc is literally falling apart over one guy who wants to be "king of the empire", as well as these "lazy" and/or "pandering for attention" cosplays are ruining the fun for us all.  I wish so hard that I could shoot a cosplay set in the not too distant future.  I'm a little bummed because this situation is discouraging me from wanting to even try a shoot.  I'm so tired of seeing the same girls over and over and over again as "cosplay set of the day".  Like give someone else an effing chance, you know?  I wish these girls would just show some compassion for other models/cosplayers and chill out on stacking the MR queue.  This is exactly why it is so long.  Girls are just tagging everything as "cosplay" hoping it'll get picked up, even when there's nothing resembling cosplay in it.  I feel like the drama and the "bad" girl on bed in a t-shirt of some fucking "fandom" or in some location that makes no sense for the cosplay.  It's almost the new "butterfly ass" crazy crap.

I sense the passion you put into your work, as aposed to some other models that put little effort into their work. What you do is art and sometime people will not understand or "get" what you do, but you do it for your love of it. I, for one, can hardly wait to see your next set. You are one of the reasons I joined SG

Flew to the east coast today. My flight was pretty crummy and I sat next to a very farty old lady. The best part was that @wilwheaton was on my flight and I finally had the courage to say hello!

My life is going to consist of never getting to meet Wil but constantly having friends run into him and say hi for me.
