Introduction
Everyone from New England knows the legend of Lizzie Borden.
On a hot day in August of 1892, Fallriver, MA resident Lizzie Borden was thought to have murdered her father and stepmother in cold blood. No one ever found any blood on her person, so she got away scott-free. Legend has it that she stripped naked and killed her unsuspecting parents with an axe that was never found.
Lizzie Borden took an axe.
She gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
And though her mother only suffered 9 blows, and her father only 11 unlike the claim of the rhyme, Lizzie is the murderess to aspire to be... Here is my ode to her.

SuicideGirls… became famous for embracing beauty in every shape and form — meaning bodies covered in tattoos, having bright-colored hair, and being outside of traditional beauty norms were celebrated. The name comes from the idea that women who commit “social suicide” by being different come together.
A nation wide art-sleaze phenomenon.
It’s like a punk rock Vogue…with artful nude photos of women.
Fifteen years ago, a small-but-passionate community that celebrated beauty in alternative, pinup-style photography was born. It was called SuicideGirls.
They’re the girls next door - but more colorful and with better record collections.
SuicideGirls respond… in the best way possible.
The meeting place for people interested in alternative lifestyles.
SuicideGirls is as much about community as it is about naked photos of tattooed women.
SuicideGirls is redefining concepts of beauty across the globe.
