Hello my worn-out leather collars,
October 2011 had so many amazing sets that I would have liked to pick at least half a dozen. But this multi by @dwam and @charlie is not just amazing, it is epic. Behold the wonders of the Self Timer.
In case you're new here, @dwam is the one with the pants on in this picture.
Who needs pants,

Hello my fading chalk marks on pavements,
If you ask me, @leopoldine's set Downtown Train is quintessential suburbia: an overgrown train line, the kind of large apartment buildings in the background that we call silo homes where I'm from, and a disillusioned youth hanging out on the tracks.
At least one can still be cool, though, am I right?
And make one's own fun. Come

Hello my decadent decades,
Won't you look at the time. It's episode 120 already, which means we've gone through a whole ten years of alt-pinup hotness. Let's celebrate with a double-feature, shall we? Put your hands together for @annalee and @gogo in The Wolf Caught the Bird and @rydell in Dreams.
"Hello, do you have a minute to talk about SuicideGirls?"
"SuicideGirls? That sounds

Hello my broken number 2 pencils,
For my July 2011 pick, @ajilee is getting her nerd on in her set Study Hour.
It seems that today is all about art history.
So, all those nude ladies in those old paintings must have been really inspiring. Let me just quickly fetch my sketch book if that's not too forward.
Join me again tomorrow for more

Hello my small lumps of Ewok feces,
High Sith lady @voodou is on a mission from the emperor to quell the rebellion, and she will do whatever it takes to lure innocent young padawans to The Real Darkside.
She'll have you know that, yes, this method is very effective, and your lack of faith is disturbing.
To be quite honest, I am starting to

Hello my slightly leaky cauldrons,
To be perfectly honest, while looking through all those old sets, only occasionally do I come across one that I recognise from back in the day. Of course I recognise many SGs, but most of the sets have somewhat faded over the years. My favourite months are those where there's exactly one of those memorable sets, because then the choice...

Hello my dihydrogen monoxide addicts,
In my pick for today, the lovely and elegant @cheri is Having A Splash, and, if I may say so, also making a splash.
Pre-splash!
Post-splash! Now won't someone hand the lady a towel?
Now excuse me whilst I pick up my jaw from the well-hydrated floor.
Bed Bath and Beyondly yours,
Eliza
Hello my decommissioned red mills,
When the lovely @luana tells us the The Show Must Go On, then the show will go on. Isn't that right?
"... must obey the pretty lady in the cute hat ..."
Seriously now, as pretty-lady-mesmerism goes, this is just overkill.
Tune in again tomorrow for more eyes you simply can't resist.
Theatrically yours,
Eliza
Hello my dusty paintings stuffed in an attic,
The majestic and illustrious @nemesis, god emperor of eyebrows, is going literally literary in her set Dorian. You know the story: hedonistic subject stays young and well, while their magically enhanced portrait ages in their stead and records all sins. Wilde stuff!
"Mirror, mirror on the wall..."
I'm not sure what exactly young Dorian is up

Hello my moth-eaten longstockings,
Isn't @boom just the adorablest? Is that a word? I think it should be. Her second set is called Sweetness, and I have nothing to add to that.
Seriously though, those eyes... and those freckles.. and those socks.
Do you remember the ice bucket challenge from a few years back? I think this may be a good time for me

Hello my little splatters of wax on carpet,
Today we continue our little series of vaguely spiritual sets with @rainbow's Flame Keeper, which was apparently shot in a church.
Congratulations, it's a match.
And just like that, I'm ablaze.
Tune in again tomorrow for more enlightenment.
Illuminatedly yours,
Eliza
Hello my worn-out yoga mats,
Meet the gorgeous @setsuka, who gives us a little insight into her spiritual practice in her set Samadhi.
She's obviously more advanced than me, because I certainly couldn't knot up my legs like that and still smile.
I'm already feeling a bit more enlightened. Hang on, that's not it. Excited, that's the word. Is that bad?
Tune in again
