Introduction
Death of the Beloved---Rainer Maria Rilke---
He only knew of death what all men say:
that those it takes it thrusts into dumb night.
When she herself, though - no, not snatched away,
but tenderly unloosened from his sight,
had glided over to the unknown shades,
and when he felt that he had now resigned
the moonlight of her laughter to their glades,
and all her ways of being kind:
then all at once he came to understand
the dead through her, and joined them in their walk,
kin to them all; he let the others talk,
and paid no heed to them; and called that land
the fortunately-placed, the ever-sweet. -
And groped out all its pathways for her feet. ---------------------------------------------------
Special thanks to Cymagen for understanding ephemerality and to his cat Paul for getting naked.

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.
