here, i'll itemize for you my waning interest in suicidegirls.
i chalk it up to my disgust at:
* the overall low standard of photography. that's what happens when you don't pay all of the photographers. i understand this is part of what makes an amateur porn site work, the acknowledgement that not everyone is a fancy-pants million-dollar picture-taker, but seriously, 800+ girls is a large pool to fish from. oh, wait, that pool is dwindling.
* male-gaze pandering to the exclusion of lesbian sexuality (the phenomenon of straight girls kissing is a nauseating simulacrum of mainstream pornography. where are the butch girls with strap-ons?)
* the absence of eloquence in the proliferation of model journals (personality > looks when ">" is "hotter than")
* desensitization due to derivative styles. how much exposure to skull chest tattoos, washed-out lighting on pale girl posing on chair against grey background, traipsing about through abandoned buildings, corset piercings, latex-clad sex nurses, barely-legal lolitas or ironically mulleted hipster euro-trash can one libido take before it deflates?
* the use of feminism as a marketing tool is reminiscent of the spice girls advertising campaign. it turns out that the act of chanting "girl power" isn't one that challenges masculinist/heterosexist ideology in and of itself.

first of all you must excuse my terrible english... but the urgence of expression, you know...
i think that one should not *charge* this site with too many expectetions... i mean, for a brief moment i thought that this place could be the best place where to find the best people in the world... but i don't think so, no more.
i.e. when you decide to open your site to pubblicity [in a so massive way!], to a specific [sordid] target that think that stars' tattoes are still original... there's not so much to hope from!
you if loose contact with reality, if you start to become just bigger and bigger... [just like the Sg site] then you are no more a model for none, that is at least intelligent...
anyway... i think that something good remain... sometime is funny, and here you can always find a different type of beauty... and that's good...
and you can always try to improve my english
:-]
Errr, the rest of it, well there is a fair amount of crap on sets, but the gems are gems and the depth of creative expression dedicated to many sets (for what is really and inconsequential amount of time in the highlight) is really impressive. As far as using feminism as a deceptive marketting magnet, well we're all chumps in one way or another; oh yes we are.
