Just over 6 months on since I joined this site and how telling is it that I have wanted to post another blog just to contribute!? What is it about this pin-up website that that after 17 years and 8 and ½ months has created a microcosm of a community? Is it the fact that some of the most beautiful women in the world are active models? Probably not… Is it the observing members who make witty comments and heart the pretty pictures? Probably not…Is it the exceptional photographers who co-create some of the most enjoyable photos on the Internet? Probably not.
Is it that the models are approachable, engaging, friendly and some of the most beautiful women in the world? Maybe. Is it that the observing members are equally engaged and try to encourage the ever-talented models in such a challenging profession? Maybe. Is it that the photographers are open, encouraging, creative and still looking to explore and create real art? Maybe. But as with any great story, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts… 1+1+1=4. So what is it that makes SGLand more than just a sexy pin-up site? Hmmm…I think of one word…Community.
What is a community? It has social rules of etiquette and interaction, it has interaction and vision, contribution and continuity. A community has diverse members, offers protection, provides sustainability. So does SGLand meet these ideas? Well, there are the encouraging members like @kjj0013 who try to promote the models by introducing both hopefuls and proven models. Because of him I have met and seen countless talented women! @emanuel who is always quick with a compliment and a “spank”. @xheartswornx who is super encouraging and as popular as some of the models. @immutable who is almost always first with a wink and a comment and many others who are positive and want the models to be successful! And @Geekyfox who is just a cool guy commenting in a cool way. There are the photographers like @mel_z , @just_sick , @tripodski @coolicio and @r_girardi who’s cocreated art graces our screens and minds daily, the cross overs like @saria , @aurralee and @leemalee who are as successful at modeling as they are behind the camera! Then the countless models all over the world like the newly pink @marzipan whose first set with front page and @Evoke who shows what determination can bring. @adriella with BODY, SOUL AND BUNNY EARS being one my favorite sets, or @Frosty with her recent set SHAPE OF YOU shows that she can have as amazing of a set as LET’S PLAY alone as she can partnering with another model! The super models like @pink who may just be the cutest women in the land, @pulp , @mimo , @sash (who has 5 of the top 33 most popular SG sets!!!) and @maud ho is the best dancer, @marlene who is such a promoter There are the creators like @jayde and her great Little Pink Box Lingerie and our rapper @fishball , resident rocker @rubyalexia and the rest of the singers. Then you have the hopefuls who are posting nearly every day like @miss_bella_cyanide (going on her first SG Shoot Fest!!! maybe will be as good as Milan was?) and @suicidoll_ (just passed 300 folowers!!!) that both appear on my feed constantly, both of which will accomplish great things on the site! And you have the soon-to-be pink like @naru_blu blu who is the sweetest girl ever, always first with a thanks and a smile, and @jases who is so ready for pink it hurts, the fun and friendly X-Man @khachery and @caughtfiresg who was the first model I would say I have come to care about her success, with her newest set FOX IN SOCKS that shows what hard work can bring in both photography and body and who is the photo I started with…
@naru_blu
There are 1000 other hopefuls and photographers I could mention, 3,438 Suicide Girls and literally millions of fans, but in the end, what it comes down to is that a simply little pin-up side that started 17 years and 8 /12 weeks ago has grown into a community with more to come, more to find, more to bring.
For a community still growing, thanks for a fun first 6 months. @missy @Rambo
@khachery
