The build up to our Christmas Blogging sadly see's the end of a long running feature on the Blog. The daily 'Sexiest® Of The Day' spot and the 'Sexiest® Of The Month' will come to an end. In its present form that is.
I have really loved compiling this feature since my first days on the Blog. I know what it means to people to be selected. It can make their day, or week even! It is a large part of why this blog has had 2,250,000 views and counting! A search in the Blog's dashboard reveals we're approaching 2,000 posts of content featuring 'The Sexiest® Of The Day'.
However, the flip side is a lot of people are disappointed. When the Sexiest® Blog spot began there were far fewer people involved in Second life porn photography and production. It was easier to showcase almost everyone involved at some point whenever they produced a hot pic, it was only a matter of time. Now the Pornstars Group in world is building its way to having four times the producers we had in the old group and then some. That's just those with official 'Producer' status. I'm not willing to be judge and jury, and i also no longer feel qualified to be. The good news is the reasons for this is hugely positive. An explosion of content and creativity, and people involved since the Second Life Porn scene began. Means i cannot keep up or ever hope to judge it all fairly anymore.
I'm one person, with increasingly limited time. I sit down with my morning coffee and schedule these posts. The Sexiest® is all about timing, whatever amazing, hot, and sexy pics catch my eye uploaded around that time have a great chance of being featured. This is no reflection of the many great people involved in the scene. I have no wish to offend anybody i happen to miss for many various reasons. It stands to reason while there are people so excited and so happy to be picked, there is that flip side.
My wish is for the Pornstars to be a community of like minded people, expressing themselves in their individual Sexiest® ways! All having fun. I don't feel elitist picks,possibly leading to resentment, or at worst making anybody feel second best helps that cause. Even though it is not intentional. 'The Sexiest® Of The Day' is meant to be pure hot entertainment, and to showcase just what amazing stuff our groups are producing.
The group though is growing rapidly in world. It's a newer group replacing the old one we were forced to close down. Which means even though we are a couple of hundred members short of the old group in terms of numbers at this time. The membership is fresher, more active, and there is so much more going on.
I don't feel a daily contest is the way to go anymore unless the time is at hand to examine and judge every members work every day leading to a truly fair pick. I will miss the kind messages from very happy people selected, you all thoroughly deserved your Sexiest® appearances! I really appreciated the feed back, and loved making people happy that way.
Unfortunately many people do get missed, and it really matters to them too. If i did 1000 posts a day the size of the group means we'd still have people missing out.
My solution is to try and cast our net further. Featuring more and varied content. So I've been recruiting new Blog publishers. Who have their own ideas, their own pool of contacts and people on their radar. My hope is the publisher list will grow, the varied content will grow, and more people will get their chance in the spotlight.
'The Sexiest® Of The Day' will continue in a different format. So this favorite Blog feature will go on.
Huge thanks to everybody who has followed this amazing series. Thanks to everybody for producing some of the hottest, most erotic shots to ever be blogged!
