Good Evening SG Land! Greetings to my faithful followers, loyal friends and random stumble uponers. It's Wednesday again and that means it is time for DeadGuitarist's Weekly WCW Blog!
Every once in a while, I come up with a theme for my WCW blog. If you remember two weeks ago, my SG WCWs were WOC: @midnightsun, @dulceamargo. I thought I'd do another themed WCW blog this week: SG Staff.
My 1A WCW this week is @kiley! She is Suicide Girls' Customer Service Rep and Help Desk. She knows the site inside and out. SO if you have questions about the site or need some help, she's your woman! She's gorgeous and funny (well, her photos often crack me up!)

While I've never met her or even chatted with her (through comments/blog posts/group threads), I think she's a righteous babe with serious attitude (as in I don't take shit from anyone), with a bit of good crazy to go with it. And, from the looks of things (as in her photos and selfies) she doesn't take life too seriously and has a whole lot of fun!

Although I have yet to listen to SG Radio, live or replay (I'm usually in the gym when it's live, then I get busy and forget to listen online later), @kiley guests on Suicide Girls Radio occasionally. It's live on Wednesdays from 8 PM - 9 PM Pacific Time. Of course, I'm at home tonight because my trainer changed the schedule this week, and I completely forgot to tune in.

Her birthday was two months ago (AN EXTREMELY BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kiley! š). The night before she wrote a blog about some of the things she'd learned over the previous year. One of them was "When you feel like life is the worst, something will always happen to make it more terrible. Just laugh as much as you can, and let it happen." I think that's sound advice considering what just happened in America yesterday.

Not much else I can say about @kiley except she loves drag queens. Well, darling, we (as in my adopted hometown, Las Vegas) probably have more drag queens per capita in the entire United States! So any time you need your fix, come on over and we'll have some fun.

I adore @kiley. I love all her makeup styles and the facial expressions in her photos and selfies. I think she'd be a great friend and so much fun to hang out with.
My 1B WCW this week is the absolutely stunning @rambo! She coordinates SG photography and serves as a liaison to prospective models and photographers. She also coordinates SG recruiting efforts. She's been on the SG Staff since 2010.

Her Fast Times set is a recreation of Brad's (Judge Reinhold) daydream of Linda (Phoebe Cates). Is @rambo Phoebe Cates' doppelgƤnger? I'll let you decide. (I'm watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High as I write this, and this scene is on now!)
@rambo is a gamer girl and has been since she was 4 or 5. She still has a some of her old consoles and games (Nintendo, SNES, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Sega Dreamcast and more). She also played computer games, like Rollercoaster Tycoon, which was also one of my favorite computer games back then. Nowadays, she doesn't have as much time for video games, but you can catch her occasionally on the SG Twitch channel.

One of the things on her bucket list is to ride in a helicopter for fun. @rambo, I am gonna make you "insanely jealous." I've ridden in a helicopter for fun. The year was 1990. A buddy and I had graduated from USAF Technical School and were driving from Denver, Colorado to our first duty station, Homestead Air Force Base, south of Miami, Florida. On the way we stopped in St. Louis, Missouri for an afternoon. We took the elevator to the top of the Gateway Arch, walked around Busch Stadium II and took a helicopter ride over St. Louis. Unfortunately, the photos from that road trip (which also included a tour of Graceland) were lost in one of my many moves. The helicopter ride was fun, but it was nothing compared to my incentive flight in the back seat of an F-16D. Still, I would like to take a nighttime ride in a helicopter over Las Vegas. Hmmm, my birthday is coming up...

@rambo doesn't work out of SG Headquarters. She works remotely, which is awesome. I wish I could work from home. I've worked remotely several times off and on. I feel I'm so much more productive when I do, because I can kind of set my own hours and work during hours I'm usually more productive (which is not early in the morning). She did work at SG Headquarters for a while, but LA didn't agree with her and she moved back home.

In her blog, Rambo's SG Experience 2006-2015, she finishes it off with a tidbit of Tao wisdom. The gist of the quote is a) don't take life so seriously, and b) live without expectations. Well, @rambo, I learned to live without expectations a long time ago. Not only are there no setbacks when you don't have expectations, but you also are never disappointed when you have no expectations. Conversely, life is full of little surprises when you don't have expectations.

I'm going to throw in a bonus! She's no longer on the SG Staff, but she was until earlier this year, so I'm going to include her in this blog. I'm talking about the beautiful @lyxzen. I cannot remember what she did while she worked at Suicide Girls, but I think it was Public Relations and Social Media Coordinator, since @ericad recently started in that same position. While @lyxzen is no longer on the site 40+ hours each week, she's still around from time to time, but, in my opinion, not nearly enough. @lyxzen wanted to concentrate on her own photography and design work. Best of luck to you, @lyxzen!

She's now the Uenme Community Manager. For her own business, she travels around shooting cat photos for their owners. Want to see some of her cat photos? Head over to Instagram.

Despite one of her Instagram handles, fuckingdangerous, she's not really dangerous, "just clumsy!" She was in the Green Day music video for "Bang Bang." And, according to her, she and Billie Joe Armstrong have the same default face, which you can see in this blog.

@lyxzen has been a photographer for quite a few years. In addition to cat photography, she's also an event photographer and loves shooting live band concerts. She's had photos published in national and international publications and has shot for some big name brands, such as Nike. She is an artist both in front of and behind the lens.

In front of the camera, she was featured in Tattoo magazine last spring, she blogged about it briefly in April.

I know she's super busy what with working two full time jobs (Uenme and her own photography and design business), but I sure miss her smiles, selfies and blogs. Sure hope she comes around here a little more often.
I hope you enjoyed my SG Staff WCW themed blog this week as much as I enjoyed researching the ladies, selecting photos and writing it. Make sure you give @kiley, @rambo and @lyxzen some love occasionally. @kiley and @rambo work hard with @missy, @erikad, @sean and the rest of the SG Staff keeping the site running, making the site even better and coming up with fantastic new merchandise, events, promotions and fun things for all of us to enjoy. And maybe some love thrown @lyxzen's way will persuade her to post a selfie, a photo or write a short blog a little more often.
And PS: for @midnightsun... got this WCW blog done before midnight! š
