So I'm a bit late to the party here, and there has actually been two topics since my last log, but here is my 'what inspired me to become a Suicide Girl' entry.
I guess I've always been into the alternative, I remember thinking of tattoos I wanted when I was around age ten, which, by the way, were terrible ideas. I always loved the women who were comfortable with their sexuality, always admired them. By the time I got to high school I was the complete opposite of those women. I wanted to own my sexuality, but I was so uncomfortable with myself, and so damn awkward, there really was no hope. A few years later, with the ridiculous pressure of high school off of me, I started to find more of myself. My roommate at the time, and friend from high school, was attending school for photography. She asked if I'd like to model for her for some projects and I jumped at the chance to try on the shoes of a confident woman in front of someone I was comfortable with. Seeing the results of those photos completely changed my outlook on myself. At this time I knew about Suicide Girls, and completely admired them all, but never thought I could do it.
It was still a few years later that I really got into modeling, and that is all thanks to my friend Nicole. She is my rock, confidante in all things, and my biggest supporter. I still didn't think I had what it took to join SG, but she told me about a site called Zivity, and suggested I start there and see how I felt about it. I posted my first set with the help of a photographer friend, and that was the beginning of feeling truly comfortable in my skin. Through Zivity I met a bunch of Suicide Girls who were incredibly supportive and encouraged me to join the site. They answered all of my pesky question, and were just the kindest, most helpful people I had met. At that point my decision was made.
There are plenty of girls I could list that have inspired me to push myself to be not only a better model but a better person. But, as corny as is, I'd like to say that the site as a whole has inspired me to become a Suicide Girl. To be part of such a wonderfully kind, excepting, and like minded community is just.. well, just the most amazing thing I can think of. Suicide Girls, Hopefuls, Members, you are all an important part of a magnificent community that inspires me in different ways everyday. Thank you all for being amazing humans.
Now here are a few photos of me from complete noob to whatever level I am at now.
Then stuff got more serious..
