- Default Title
Description
The Suicide Girls are the alternative, pierced, and tattooed online sorority that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Started in Portland by Missy Suicide and her friends in 2001, the Suicide Girls broke conventional notions of beauty and the pin-up girl ideal as defined by men's magazines and the culture at large. Unlike the stereotypical blonde, anorexic, and surgically enhanced buxom babes of the BAYWATCH ilk, Suicide Girls come in all shapes and colors, with the aesthetic leaning more towards punk rock and vintage Betty Page. Since launching SuicideGirls, Missy has become a sought-after voice on this growing subculture and on young women's desire for self expression and identity. She has been interviewed on issues relating to music, the Internet, pop culture and body image on numerous radio stations and in publications such as The New York Times, Wired, Spin, and Elle. She hosts a weekly SuicideGirls talk radio show on LA's Indie 103.1 FM and was recently chosen to model as part of Peta 2's 2008 »Ink, Not Mink« celebrity, anti-fur ad campaign. In addition to the millions of visitors that frequent the SG website, this book will appeal to both men and women (their membership is split nearly equally) who thought the shy, artsy chick with the black eyeliner and a nose ring was the sexiest girl in high school [e.g. every guy in Williamsburg, Silver Lake and beyond].
