SuicideGirls: Tattooed and Pierced Pinups for the Modern Age!

Not too long ago when someone mentioned pinup models, the image conjured in the mind is a curvy lady with the face of an angel. Nowadays the term "pinup" has been taken to new boundaries and beyond by the popular alternative website, Suicidegirls.com.

What's it like being a SuicideGirl? There is a lot of exposure and recognition, and it seems that quite a number of doors are open with the mention of the affiliation. There are opportunities to be involved in touring burlesque type shows, appearances on television, in music videos, and more. The Suicidegirls were featured in Lemmy, from Motorhead's new project Probot in the video for "Shake Your Blood", on an HBO special plus other television guest appearances. You can be as active within the group as you want, you are never required to attend any of the events, but take it from me, you will want to. There are always new connections to make: new photographers to meet, new models to learn from, and other opportunities including photo shoots for selected magazines and websites. There are also numerous conventions all around the US and abroad where the girls are requested to appear and met with enthusiasm. More or less the atmosphere surrounding this popular website is positive and accepting, whereas 50 years ago it would be considered unorthodox.

In my eyes, the best reason to be a pinup for this website is that you are free to be yourself with no limitations. Girls of any color or nationality, any weight status, or preferences are more than welcomed and even embraced. As long as there is something about you that is different and appealing in some way you are sure to be successful. Imagine the feeling of pages of people telling you what a great job you did and how beautiful you are to them: it is a great feeling. You can use your recognition and the traffic to this website for other special interest causes like animal abuse awareness or domestic violence help and awareness.

Being different and unique is now more accepted than ever in this day and time - people are becoming more open-minded. Not only are you free to be yourself, but you are free to express your own personal philosophies and ideas. Being a pinup has been taken to a new horizons and the limits have become boundless for those with the ambition to make a difference.
