Today I received an automated response stating that my group was declined.
Which is bullshit really.
I LOVE Suicidegirls....
This site is my Facebook!!!
As a lover of SG, Missy, the girlz...all of it...I am really saddened.
It is funny how this site is for breaking barriers of beauty when yet there are several barriers within this very place that still exist.
I found a thread that discusses why groups are declined, and as response...I posted this:
hello lil tuffy
I totally respect your right to your SG power position but as a new SG account holdern let me just say, I have scrolled through all of the groups and I have not seen a group like the group I pitched two days ago.
Today I received an email stating my group had been declined.
My group was called The Hopeful Hopefuls Clique. This group was designed to be a group for women who have not yet posted a photoset for a varied of reasons.
Unlike some of the "approved" groups on the Suicidegirls site, my group was to encourage, motivate, and empower all the chicks who have not shot a photoset to get out of their own way and just do it.
The Hopeful Hopefuls Groups was meant to encourage all of the really gnarly chicks who have not taken the second step to becoming a full SG.
Fact of the matter is, we need a group like that.
There are tons of groups for Suicidegirls, and Hopefuls, but none for the chicks who havent made it that far.
For a varied of reasons, some just have not submitted a set,
maybe they are scared, have body image issues, worried about their family and peers reactions, cant find a photographer, they dont have a really great theme, etc....They need a place to go to encourage each other and call the corners every now and again.
There are groups for ass, for tits, for shows, for geeks, etc....so I am in the dark.
It is almost as if the opinion, commonality, and voice of the Hopeful Hopefuls does not matter.
I am actutally at a photo shoot now! I am waiting for my photog to finish hte lighting, as I write this. I do not know if I will ever submit a set, but I am a Hopeful Hopeful, and as ambassador for ALL the Hopeful Hopefuls....we are just as amazing as the girls with Hopeful or Suicidegirl by their name.
I feel as if I am a minority in a space that is for the minority...which is irony at its best.
I am black, I am gay, I am modified, and Im a woman, so naturally, society has boxed me in, and I accept these bias categories, and compartments everyday, but what hurts the most is the fact this site is a place for the beautiful strange, and again....I have been labeled.
As a paying member, as well as a Hopeful, hopeful...I am saddened
