Here’s the fun month of February 2011.

It probably won’t blow you away with excellence, but it also likely won’t bum you out.

It was a good month.

Let’s check it out!

First we got @chronika in her only Hopeful set Knitting .

This one gets good about 13 snaps in.

What a delicious pair of shirt puppies!

But taking it up a notch was...

Let’s rock.

Last month (Dec. 2010) was a little weak.

This one improved.

Not by a whole lot, but I’ll take it.

So let’s delve into January 2011.

Things got good when @akuma dropped Graveyard Tavern .

Boy, i sure could go for a pint right now.

But I don’t drink no more.

No worry.

I can be satiated by some lovely ink.

Akuma has...

History is a form of accounting.

Storytelling, yes.

But also of taking stock (a stock-take…I make it sound so fun)…taking things into account.

Ah, there we are.

You can be damn sure that those who run Suicide Girls NOTICE when members cancel their accounts.

The natural question would be, “Was this month really that bad”?

Quality-control.

In life, we all need hope.

And that’s what Suicide Girls provides.

The nature of hope is such that we can be happy…even if we know that our chances are exceedingly-slim.

We all have a bit of Lloyd Christmas in us.

Lloyd: "What are my chances?"
Mary: "Not good."
Lloyd: "You mean “not good” like… one out of a hundred?"
Mary: "I'd say.. more like...

Here in Texas, it is hot as fuck.

Which is why it’s nice to dream about October 2010.

That’s right, put some spice in your pumpkin and roll up for a cavalcade of tits and ass from yesteryear.

First up we got a great set by @mcrforlyfe called Get U in My Caddy .

Don’t want to meet your daddy.

Etc. etc.
