Those who grew up in Oregon in the '70s might remember the popular Dont Californicate Oregon bumper sticker that made its way onto every VW bus around town. And for younger generations, no one can forget the infectious Red Hot Chili Peppers album Californication and song of the same title that took radio waves by storm in 1999. But tonight, it is all about Showtime's sexy new show "Californication" and on this week's episode, one of the characters is revealed to be a SuicideGirl.
In "Californication" DaniCA is a secretary by day, and a SuicideGirl by night. The program stars David Duchovny, Rachel, and many wonderful pairs of bare boobies.
I shot Rachel for her character's set, which will be featured exclusively on the program but here are a few samples from the set to tide you over:
To see more of Rachel, check out the show when it airs after "Weeds" at 10:30 PM. Rachel couldn't have been more down to earth and fun and it was a pleasure to shoot a set for her. If you enjoy the show, leave her character a message in her blog.
As an added bonus, later tonight on Showtime you can watch the SuicideGirls' First Tour DVD.

the program's not called "DaniCA-fornication" - she's still merely an ancillary character.
I was going to comment in a very similar fashion. It's not the show's purpose to educate the masses on the nature of SG. I think using an existing element of the subculture lends a little more credibility to it, instead of trying to make up their own. TV shows will always have inconsistencies when fictionalizing elements of the real world, especially if it's so peripheral to the main story. Sometimes it's artistic license. Sometimes it's just crappy research. It's fiction; roll with it.
+1, i didn't see the show, but i'm sure they aren't going to spend the whole show talking about how sg "really is". that's a waste of time and it's not like the whole series is about SG. just one episode.
also "does anybody else mind that they're portraying suicide girls as total skanks who'll do anything just to keep their jobs?"
no. this was one girl. not a whole representative of every girl on the planet. or every SG on the site.
you could make that generalization for anything...legally blonde? omg that represents EVERY blonde college girl there ever was! no, it doesn't. it's an example of one girl.
yes but the difference is that there are not that many representations of SG out there. so this is what most people are going to think of now when they hear the word "Suicide Girls".
her boss fires her for being a complete moron so she sends him a link to her SG profile in hopes that he won't fire her. the boss just happens to have an account and we get a rather gross scene of him jerking off to her set. he of course then doesn't fire her, cause now he wants to fuck her. she spills his coffee all over the place and then lets him SPANK her as punishment. what the fuck?

lametastic.
That's how I felt as well when I saw it. One of my mates (who's account is expired at the moment) was like "OMG SUCIIDEGIRL ON CALIFORNICATION WTFBBQ!!", and I didn't get the chance to see the episode til the next day. I knew she wasn't a "real" SG, but was still kinda excited that the writers would show the site as a way of empowering women and all that jazz. But instead it just showed her boss beating off and spanking her, pretty much lowering it to porn (gotta stress that its only porn in my eyes, probably not in a lot of other people's!) And I know that yes, this site is basically porn cos of teh naked ladies, but I see it as a lot more than that, and was hoping that Californication would as well.
Now, us members know that the site is very different from that (in most cases), but I can't help but think of what people who have had little to know exposure to the site would think of it.
Also, the huge SG tattoo on her arm looked a bit tacky. I've seen a few cool SG tattoos on members and girls around here that looked awesome, but this one was just... meh. But all of this is just my opinion, and I'm glad some people did enjoy it.

no one picked up that he never logged into the site but saw her pictures?????
THATS A MAJOR CONTINUITY PROBLEM????
if you look at the slightly altered box at the top right, he has the "My SG" link, and hence is logged in. iirc, he also had the message/comment/friend request counts.
the fun question now is: what's his username, and did staff create a fake profile for him too?

i think people are smart enough to know the difference between a girl who happens to be a suicidegirl, and an actress on a show... and are you saying that EVERY suicidegirl is totally pure? are you sure none of them have ever used their sexuality as a tool to get a job?
