What I love about shooting this sort of photography is that nothing is taboo or hidden yet nothing is gratuitous either. It is simply a chance to recognise the beauty of the female form.

I was really struck today by how much SG hopeful @lunamedusa had changed in just 3 months (see below). I've been surprised before when I've gone into someone's set and their profile picture looks nothing like the person in the set. Given the lag between when sets are shot, they are uploaded and they go live it must be difficult for SG models to balance...

I am officially classed as an incomple tetraplegic (what used to be called a quadraplegic). I have some use of all four limbs but all four have been affected by a spinal cord injury to my neck.
Brown-Sequard causes you to lose the feeling and coordination on one side of your body while you lose the strength and function on the other. I was born...

that really really sucks! // i am in a different but similar situation - i have 18 (eighteen) cracked or broken vertebrae - all the cervical ones and then from the lumbar up.. .from dolphin virus i got because i was severely cut on coral in "dolphin infested" water... anyway... i got tired of people ignoring my struggle to walk normally and push by me (knocking me down in the process), so I got me a nice stout 5 1/2 foot staff. with a steel collar around its lower end. people see the staff and for one reason or another tend to step a little away, plus it makes a nice footrest in a waiting room (of which i have seen far too many). acupuncture with electricity has helped me maintain minor motor muscle control in my hands. painful as fuck and takes about 6-8 treatments to show an effect, but every time i stop it, in about three weeks i start dropping pens, fumbling coffee mugs etc. it has no ability to cure that i am aware of, but it can counteract neural symptoms. // finally, i eventually realized that there are handicapped people everywhere, and that travel, if carefully planned, was possible. not in the past year, but i have managed a few trips in the 20 (yay!) years i have been basically housebound--even overseas. those who are helpful will help, the others, well they have self-identified as assholes and that saves a ton of time!
Although I live in the southern hemisphere I live in Darwin the most tropical city in Australia. Midwinter here was less than 4 weeks ago and today is 30C/86F.
rubymoon:
This week it was very hot here in southern Brazil hahaha almost 30C
jayafterdark:
It's now 2 months past midwinter so we have not even reached the middle of spring yet and while the daytime temperatures have only increased to 33C/91F the coldest overnight temperature is now 24C/75F. I guess I can put my blankets away.

If I had the means, I'd consider it. haha
Some of the Australian states shut their borders because of a new Covid outbreak so my trip ended up half the size but it was still great.

In 4 days I'm headed off for 2 weeks camping through the Kimberley region of the Australian outback. I might share a few photos when I get back although alas there won't be a SG to be seen, 😉
I had just finished commenting on @saria's new set Primary when I realised the 'you might also like' panel was advertising the exact same set but on @caustix' profile.
shalil:
Then we wonder why some girls get so many likes lol
I've said before that SOTD puzzles me. The latest winner was a debut set, self-shot, published only 2 week ago and had attracted less than 2000 likes. It was a good set, worthy of a like, but I couldn't see anything that made it stand out from all the other great sets that have been posted this month. Does anyone know how the SOTD is...

@shalil I think your number of followers can affect that. If 10,000 people see everything you post than getting 3,000 likes is a lot easier than if only 2,000 people view your set.
shalil:
I don't know, sets appear in MR to everyone, regardless if they are following you or not... recently a new hopeful had her first set and she got more than 3k likes in a few days, and of course since she's new she hasn't many followers! And vice versa, some girls with many followers a lot of times stuck at low numbers...
I've talked before about the fact that I suffer from depression. I've been having a rough time of it recently so if my comments or blog posts lately seem more negative or critical than usual that is why and I apologise for it. 😟
rubymoon:
You don't have to apologize. Hope you're doing better ❤️
tintanankin:
Dont apologize dear, take care yourself 💖
There is a SG I really like who has done two fabulous sets with a photographer whose work I greatly admire. But now she has done her third set with a first time photographer and I just don't think it's very good. Is it ever OK to tell a model that you think she is lovely but that you think her photographer has let her...

or maybe that’s exactly the look/style she’s going for. you have to remember what you consider “justice” is subjective to your own personal thoughts and opinions.
jayafterdark:
Six sucessive photos where the colour balance was so different in each one you would think the photographer was using a glass filter. The backround went from white to pink to cream to green to purple to red. I won't comment on what her skin tone did.
