After having a baby I noticed that while there are beautiful photos of pregnant women around, there aren't many that frame post-partum women beautifully. We're expected to hide our bodies until they're back to "normal." But I refuse to do that. To show everyone that the body of a new mother is still beautiful and sexy, we decided to leave my body totally unretouched in this set. I have cellulite and stretch marks and loose skin and extra fat and pigmentation and wonky boobies and it doesn't make me any less beautiful.
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.
