I submitted my set earlier today before I went off to work. I knew according to the FAQ that it may take a week or two to hear back so I knew not to expect anything right away. But let me tell you that when I am just getting a package in the mail, I'll check the tracking at least three time during the day even though I know it's not expected for a week. So when it comes to something as important as my very first SG set, you can imagine that I was checking my phone every chance I could at work to see if there had been any word back. And to my great surprise, I did hear back today. My set "Comic Strip" (check out my weekly Tuesday Night SG Blog of the same name) has been officially accepted and is slotted in the member review queue to come out sometime in April. I am now officially a Hopeful here on the site.
This has been a whirlwind of a journey for me. I was always aware of Suicide Girls, but recently I got a chance to watch some of the videos and check out the books. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought "I want to do that. That would be so much fun." I have never done any modelling in my life except for a few photographer friends for fun in high school. But let me tell you, when something gets into my head, it becomes the focus of much of my waking hours. It also keeps me from sleeping most nights; caught up in the ifs and maybes of it all. About a week after that, I brought it up to my boyfriend, making it seem as more of a joke in case he didn't seem keen on the idea. But he didn't have a problem with it and that was the only green light my brain needed to run crazy with the idea. Immediately, I started eating healthier and exercising daily. Normally, I'm a super lazy person with Netflix taking up more off my free time than I would care to admit, but I was uncharacteristically motivated. My paperwork was all filled out within the next day or two and I was contacting every photographer I could find that did any kind of boudoir / sexy shoots in my area. I immediately heard back from a photographer and my plan was in full motion. I had a shoot scheduled for two weeks later and was planning to drive three hours round-trip to do a shoot with someone I'd only communicated with online. In the meantime, I signed up for the site as a member and started checking out all of the girls and getting ideas for poses and techniques.
Luckily, my photographer was great so was his wife. They were super friendly and helpful with tips and compliments as we went through the shots. I was worried I would be shy taking my clothes off in front of strangers taking pictures, but that turned out not to be a problem for me. I spent the shoot dancing and joking and I think the positive energy really helped in my shots. I was expecting the photographer to take a lot longer getting the pictures to me, but I saw them within a day or two. Now, as of exactly as a week from the day I shot my set, I have gone from being just a member to a full-blown Hopeful with another set scheduled in a week and a half.
The photographer who shot my set seemed a bit surprised that I decided to go from never having done modeling to deciding to be a Suicide Girl, but it was the most natural choice in the world for me. The girls on this site are so sexy and unique and powerful. Just the idea of being one of them gives me a sense of pride and confidence. Seeing my pictures makes me feel so sexy and I've been walking around with a smile on my face for the last month. A big thank you to my buddy @drummonkey50 for unknowingly changing my life by showing me SG. Thanks to you all for following and joining me on my adventure here on Suicide Girls. I promise that I'll try to keep it interesting and fun for you!
