I was a bit worried about this month.

March 2009.

It started well enough.

But then kinda dropped off a cliff.

However, while not as strong as the AMAZING February 2009, March was VERY STRONG.

Let’s get into it.

First up was @lucida .

She was a Hopeful who only made one set.

And it’s a good one!

This is it!

THIS was the month that SG RESURRECTED itself!!!

After about six months of mediocrity, the website was returning to the quality of its storied past.

The month was February 2009.

This resurrection got underway thanks to @prussia and her inspired set Ghost World .

This one is really well-done!

Check it out.

Things rose to a higher level with @miro in Le...

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.
