2009 started much the same way 2008 ended at SG.

To my eyes, it appears to have been a bit of a rough time for the site.

This slump started about mid-2008.

However, we are gonna focus on the good stuff.

First off was a perfect set by @izmerelda entitled Cottonwood .

This was her debut set.

And it is the only set she ever...

I really wanted to like this month.

December 2008.

And I did.

But here’s the thing: while it has some it exceedingly-strong sets, it also has a massive amount of fluff.

There is no courteous way to put it.

But this is all subjective.

And, as always, I am going to focus on what was BAD ASS from this month 15 years ago.

Perfection landed...

Exactly 15 years ago.

What was SG like?

Let's find out together.

Putting The Cunt in Country right out of the gates was the enormously-endowed @suri .

It's hard for me to not give this set a perfect rating.

Suri looks awesome.

But the concept and photography are not as epic as the model.

Even so, breast men should check this out fo sho.

Praise and accolades are only meaningful when contrasted with criticism.

Which is to say, October 2008 was another dreadful month at SG.

I am basing this tough assessment solely on the photo sets.

But, as always, the mission here will be to focus on WHAT WAS GOOD THAT MONTH.

Let’s get into it.

First, I liked Loves Me Loves Me Not by @amarie : her...
