Every business experiences slow times. A modeling website is dependent on a steady flow of new models. Because variety is the spice of life. We might anticipate the rate of “churn” (model turnover) at a concern like Suicide Girls to be quite high.

Models may feel they are not making enough money, so they set off for greener pastures. As you might imagine, a business...

Some excellent Canadians in this blog, my friend!  Well done, as always.

By mid-to-late 2005, Suicide Girls was churning out quality sets with such fervent frequency that it is difficult to assess this output in detail unless one bites off JUST ENOUGH to chew.

Thus, this installment will focus on the fecund months of August and September: 2005.

Things got going with @tsui and her ass-tastic Between Rocks .

FINALLY a set for the ass men.

I...

The sheer creativity of some of these sets from the early years continues to really impress me.  Some of these truly rise to the level of genuine art.
bob_dylan:
Exactly, @jake238 !!  I love that there was a good-natured competition to outdo one another.  It’s pretty mind-blowing all he things that have been tried on SG.

You like titties?

Let’s have some fun!

Summer 2005.

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!

Incoming set from @opahl —the wonderful Bright Ribbons .

This set pays homage to my favorite color CLASH: pink and green.

If you wanna evoke Sex Pistols, go pink and green.

But this shoot really has a nice ‘80s neon vibe to it.

It is VIBRANT.

It caught my eye.

In economics,...

Mission statement: what can be learned about SG strictly by looking at the photo sets?

Can a sort of history be cobbled together by going back through the archival photos?

Assume I know nothing.

And I assume you know nothing.

And we dive blithely into a vast catalog of pin-up wonder.

Our expedition currently has us in February of 2005.

SG started in autumn 2001....

The great thing about the SG archives is that you can go back in time—to whatever era you like.

It might be the summer of 2023, but you can always go back to the winter of 2004 to keep yourself frosty.

November of 2004 had so many good sets that it’s almost overwhelming.

But the first one to really stand out to me was Cupcake...

The grind never stopped on Suicide Girls. Once the site was up and running, people expected more photo shoots, more new models, more variety…MORE MORE MORE.

Fortunately SG had more to give as it rolled into autumn of 2004.

Dropped Stitch sees @melly knitting a fall scarf.
And (wow!) is this set special!!

I really, really adore this one. What a divine model.

But summer...

As we in the Northern Hemisphere enjoy (endure) the summer of 2023, it’s worth looking back to the summer of 2004 to see what the girls of SG we up to during those hot early days.

These sets may be “old”, but they are shot-through with GOLD.

On July 10, @albertine released a self-shot MASTERPIECE entitled Antique Dress .

Indeed, for awhile in July of...

Great job man, it's nice to trip down memory lane

Thank you so much, @adam_bovary 🫡 I know a lot of these sets are probably unknown to most people on here.  I’m excited to keep going through the archives and getting to everyone’s favorite gals.  I really appreciate you reading and thank you very much for the comment 🙏
