Suicidegirls by Missy Suicide
The SuicideGirls adult-entertainment website mixes the edginess and attitude of the best alternative music and culture sites with an unapologetic, grassroots approach to sexuality. It is empowered erotica', in which women outside of mainstream culture showcase their unique personal styles on their own pages, where they put up sexy pin up style photos of themselves, post a personal profile, and keep online journals in which they discuss daily experiences (both naughty and nice). Includes an introduction by Missy Suicide about how this revolutionary culture all started.'Missy founded SuicideGirls as a place where a woman can be herself, where her confidence, creativity, and originality define her, combining her love of pin-up photography, music, and art with her beliefs of female empowerment nurtured in DIY culture. While it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Missy found the media's camera lens to be a little too myopic for her liking. SuicideGirls was born out of a desire to broaden the notion of beauty in popular culture, demonstrating that it can be found in a wider spectrum of women than those who grace the pages of most fashion publications and movie posters. Missy mixes her traditional fine arts experience with new media commercial acumen in the running of SuicideGirls, which began as a personal expression for her. Missy was raised in Portland, Oregon, in what could be regarded as an eclectic and artistic milieu. Missy is also continuing to photograph women for the website.
Missy has become a voice for the culture outside of what mainstream media is reporting since launching SuicideGirls. Her photography focuses on showing how each model feels sexiest about themselves in the images and has inspired a generation of young women to accept their bodies and showcase their confidence. She has been interviewed on a variety of radio stations and in magazines such as the New York Times, Wired, Spin, and Elle on music, the Internet, pop culture, and body image. Missy has appeared on HBO, Fox News, the hit CBS series CSI: NY, and the four SuicideGirls movies in continual rotation on Showtime. She was just named one of the top 12 Hottest Jobs in Hollywood and the 20 Sexiest Jobs on the Web.
