I have been a member of Suicide Girls for over a year now - and I have loved every minute of it. I have never been a fan of pornography (just not my thing), but here I am subscribed to a porn site. I find it weird to call Suicide Girls that - a porn site. To me it is so much more. It's classy. It's tasteful. It's art. It's a celebration of the woman body, in all shapes and forms. To me, Suicide Girls is the ultimate feminist organization, that I am so happy to be a part of. I love signing in (daily if I can!) to see the set of the day. I either cheer because it is one of my old favourites gracing the front page, or I discover a new beautiful lady to adore. Everyone on this site is beautiful in their own original way. That's what I think I love most - the originality and personality that each set has.
I am currently in school for Advertising and Public Relations, to graduate this coming April (so exciting! but also so scary - does this mean I am a grown up?). Last year I took a photography class, and fell in love. I have always been artistic, but not confident enough with my abilities to call myself an artist. That all changed once I picked up my Nikon. Photography is a different way of viewing the world. With my pictures I can control the angle, framing, and emphasis to create a specific perception for the viewer - so another can see the world how I do.
I have always admired the talent of Suicide Girl photographers. All the sets on here are so well done, with such interesting poses and viewpoints - excellent quality photography. I study every set, in awe at the pictures that are produced. And now, a somewhat secret dream of mine has the opportunity to come true. I dream of being a photographer - more specifically a photographer for Suicide Girls. To shoot a set and have it published on Suicide Girls would be the ultimate compliment to my creative ability. And now, I have the chance to do so. Through a mutual friend I have met someone who is aspiring to become a Suicide Girl - and after viewing my portfolio, she has decided that she wants to do a set with me! I am so honoured. And also so nervous! But it is those nerves that tell me: I have to do this. What have I got to lose? Nothing. But I have a lot to gain.
I have read the Photographer's FAQ, and Girls FAQ. Honestly, it was a lot to take in - I plan to read it several more times, to make sure I have it all right. I need to add an upgrade to my photography equipment (specifically a portrait lens). I really want my friend to become a Suicide Girl, she's gorgeous, confident, and has very attractive body mods (tattoos, piercings, stretched ears). I'm excited to get to know her better while working on her hopeful set. I am pretty confident that between the two of us we can make a couple dreams come true - get her to the front page, and my photography on Suicide Girls.
We are meeting in a couple weeks to discuss what she is looking for in me, and to view some of her favourite sets. I want to do a perfect job for her. She deserves it. I am new at shooting nude photography, so that will be a challenge for me, but it is a challenge I am willing to take on - thrilled to take on actually.
So thank you Suicide Girls for the website, the ladies, and the opportunities you have created. This is such a positive space to be apart of. I adore Suicide Girls and the message you send out. Love yourself, all of yourself, embrace and share your original beauty! Girl power to the max! So much acceptance on this site.
That is what I think makes Suicide Girls so different that the usual pornography sites, and why it is so appealing to me. Woman are not objectified on here - they are celebrated. Women are respected and admired here, as they should be everywhere. I am so happy to have the opportunity to be a contributor to this site. I will keep you guys posted on how this all develops - and hopefully in the future you will see a set you will love taken by yours truly, Queen of the Red.
