I have been getting criticized for modeling nude and having a great love for Suicide Girls for quite awhile.
Usually, people didn't know the reason behind it, often times they denied to hear it.
This is clearly a love environment, at least from what I have heard and have witnessed thus far. (Which isn't too far.)
So, I figured it would be okay to share my thoughts, reasons, and feelings of SG and the modeling world.
When I was younger, I wanted to model. I am not too sure why, possibly due to my insecurities as a child.
My parents weren't too thrilled about my life choice, so I was left to do the looking and things myself.
I found different agencies, sent photos, and called pretty persistently.
All I heard back was, "You're too fat.", "You're too skinny.", "You're too short." it was a constant battle and something was always wrong with me.
My insecurities grew and at the age of thirteen, that was a pretty big deal.
So, I ended up surfing the internet for an "alternative modeling place", I was in luck when I found SG.
Of course you're supposed to be eighteen years of age, but I was always subjected to nude modeling (I.E. Playboy mag) when I was a child.
When I was younger, there were a few models that I really admired.
They were confident in who they were, even if they were not societies perfect.
That's when I made a promise to myself, that I won't let society or anyone affect who I am and what I want to do.
I also promised to be apart of the SG community because in my mind, it was a place of love and embracement.
Once I turned eighteen years old I started to set shoots up for an SG set.
I only did two before this third set, the prior two were done unprofessionally and were rejected.
It didn't discourage me, I understood well.
I started to do shoots aside from the SG set I wanted done.
I got criticized for the shoots I would do, called "slut" or "whore" by women and men.
It started to not affect me because I study the human behavior and mind, so I just put their words aside.
Since then, I started promoting being body positive and showing others that's why I model nude.
So, I am here as an SGH, a nude model, a body positive promoter, a human being.
Content where I am in life finally.
I am here to show people that we all have a body, they come in different shapes, sizes, colors, etc.
We shouldn't shame each other, but lift each other up.
That it's OKAY to be nude, it's OKAY to love your body and yourself.
No matter your gender, age, race, etc.
Which it seems some of the SGs/SGHs also believe.
And to those who have that mindset, I LOVE YOU.

I have to agree with @ran9er904 - I have not been part of the SG community for very long but it has become very obvious very quickly that the underlying feeling is one of love and positivity which will do nothing but benefit all of us - so happy that you are content with where you are in life... everybody deserves to be <3
