AlexStar6 mentioned that he had joined a place with an awesome community of people like us. I lurked for about a week before I said screw it and joined up. He found out on my last trip out to visit him that I applied to become and SG and gave me playful hell for not telling him . I still have yet to shoot a set.
A girl who was friends with my roommate moved out west and became a SG. She sent him her loggin so he could check out her pics. At the time I was really fed up with a somewhat similar site I was a member of because it did not update very frequently. SG updated more often and reliably and was cheaper, so I switched.
i had a photo shoot with Steve Lenz <stevelenzphotography.com> my first professional shoot, and he tols me i should try out to be a SG cuz i would be perfect for it. he knows the ever lovely london, so i went to SGonline and applied!! i didnt even look at the site or know what it really was yet...
Saw some SGs in the Paper Doll video by Louis XIV, and I'd read about one of their live performances in NME a few years back... then I did some research and got hooked. Unfortunately I was 17 at the time so I had to wait for AAAGES until i was 18 to get an account
can't remember how i first came across it but became a member so i could perv on nemesis, sugar and wednesday cause they're the coolest chicks in sweden.
almost 2 years ago a well known german tattoo magazin had and article about SG with katie on the front page. I was just stunned and had to join to look at all the beautiful tattooed girls. + I really liked the aesthetic of the sets and the idea in general.
funny, if I go ask random people here, hardly anyone knows this site.
Pretty sure it was from seeing the book in Chicago Comics, and then Penny Arcade mentioned Quinne's set where she wears one of their shirts, then somewhere along the way, I finally decided to join.
Naiya joined and was trying to be a SG she looked at the site on my computer and my computer saved the password and she made me promise to delete it otherwise it would get her account banned. I knew that the temptation to check out the site on her account would be a little to much temptation so I just got my own account instead.
I saw the SG myspace in one of my friends top 8 and had a quick look through it. I was amazed that these girls were "redefining beauty" and were doing a damned good job at it. I really admired them for it. So I trawled around the free parts of the site for a few months and finally decided to join. Best thing I ever did.
When I first saw a small write-up about SG in Kerrang, years ago, there was a black and white photo alongside it of a naked girl sat on a skateboard with her back to the camera*. It was that picture that attracted me to the site and I've never seen it again since.
Does anyone know who it might be?
In 2000-2002, I spent a lot of time on the forums at Bust. In early 2002 we were debating whether or not porn could be feminist, and someone linked to SG as an example of feminist porn. I looked around, saw Marie, and knew I had to join immediately.
A couple of months later I decided to apply as a model, and the rest is history.
I'm not sure if it was WilWheaton.net or BoingBoing that first sent me this way, but it was Fractal's old profile pic (a cropped version of this) that eventually got me to part with my cash.
I was in line at the Duncan Doughnuts behind two religious right nutjobs who were ranting about everything under the sun being evil and corrupting children, stuff like Garbage Pail kids cards and . One of them mentioned that there was a site online that showed naked pictures of women who had killed themselves.
I thought, no way. But i did a search, found Suicide Girls, saw Sasha and Voltaire and signed up.
I was snooping through my step-brothers music magazines when I was 14 and saw an article with a photo of Missy and some ladies, I think it was Spin magazine. I wanted to be an sg more than anything in the world, i just wanted to emulate everything that this site stood for. But then I soon forgot about the article, fast forward two years and I was sitting in chemistry class fucking bored out of my mind so I started searching for white ink tattoos on google and SG came up, I fell in love all over again and knew that as soon as I turned eighteen i was getting a subscription, so I waited two years and viola!
I think i am going to go to my library and rifle through the old issues of Spin and see if I can find it, i want a copy of that.
I saw the Burlesque show sometime in '03-'04 in NYC.
Later I was living in Ohio and looked up something about Dr. Kevorkian and that linked to suicide machines (also the band) and that was on a page with Suicide Girls and after learning it was more than just a bunch of girls who dance on stage and get naked I joined...
