This set was shot in a cute little garden apartment. When SoBelle and I arrived the apartment wasn't nearly as well-lit as it was in the pictures online. So we found the switches to the overhead lights and started shooting. Everything was going wonderfully until we heard knocking on the door and the voice of the woman who owned the apartment. I was completely naked. I looked at SoBelle and took off running to the bathroom. I quickly got dressed while she answered the door. I walked out of the bathroom and the woman immediately started scolding us. I tried hard not to laugh as she said "I know how you young kids are!". It turns out that we weren't even allowed to turn the lights on, weren't allowed to take the blankets off of the beds, etc. She shut the lights off on us and left. We felt like little kids who just got in trouble, but it was funny! Good thing we were pretty much finished shooting anyway. I don't regret leaving the lights on :)
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.
