three years ago, i was diagnosed with cancer. i went through chemo for about a year and a half. before starting chemo, i opted to buzz my hair short so that losing hair would not be as obvious. it took me almost two years to grow my hair to a pixie haircut length. i am extremely self conscious of my short hair, not because it doesn't look good, but because every time i look in the mirror, i'm constantly reminded of being sick. i sported a wig for a long time (as you all have noticed in my first set). but now, a year in remission, i have finally felt a little more confident about my health, and can finally smile at myself again when i look in the mirror. in each of our lives, we'll all have something that brings us down, but we need to always keep our head up, stay positive, and be hopeful...for time will heal all wounds.
SuicideGirls… became famous for embracing beauty in every shape and form — meaning bodies covered in tattoos, having bright-colored hair, and being outside of traditional beauty norms were celebrated. The name comes from the idea that women who commit “social suicide” by being different come together.
A nation wide art-sleaze phenomenon.
It’s like a punk rock Vogue…with artful nude photos of women.
Fifteen years ago, a small-but-passionate community that celebrated beauty in alternative, pinup-style photography was born. It was called SuicideGirls.
They’re the girls next door - but more colorful and with better record collections.
SuicideGirls respond… in the best way possible.
The meeting place for people interested in alternative lifestyles.
SuicideGirls is as much about community as it is about naked photos of tattooed women.
SuicideGirls is redefining concepts of beauty across the globe.
