I'm not sure of the exact date but sometime in this spring is ten years from when I found out about SG and started checking out the site.
I was talking to someone calling herself Kaylah Harper on a chat site and they said they did modeling for a website out of Portland called Suicide Girls. Being 2002 the picture she sent me was 'the picture' the one in all the ____ made me join threads,
And with that I had to check out the site, and maybe you did too. I found Al's comments on the boards and Voltaire's blog asking her 3 questions at the end and started checking out the site often.
I couldn't get a membership as I didn't have a credit card to pay for it at the time. But did in 2003 under an other name for a year. I knew I wasn't going to have a computer for the next ten months so I let the member ship expire.
After the ten months I couldn't remember the old user name and password. I didn't really talk with anyone with that first membership so I figured I may as well try to come up with a better user name. I am a futurama fan and was 23 so I came up with bendingunit23.
In June of 2008 i got to meet my first (only so far) suicide girl, a really fun person to have lunch and chat with. I was a bit surprised that she wasn't rockstar-ish. Some how you build it in your mind that because they nude model, have hundreds or thousands of people comment good or bad on their work, that they would be super confidident. Ten years and it still surprises me to her them say their shy, or live like a shut in some of the time.
Irational thing I want to build of the moment (or month in blog time apparently): A mech.
Part of the reason is from watching mass effect 3 walk threws I'm on my second one now with renegade femshep, Starcraft II has them in the Viking and Thor, and there was a cool one in sucker punch too. From a quick search on replica prop forum ( Adam Savage again) and google image search no-one seams to have made a realistic one full size. There was one fourteen footer made by a special effects shop but it was built into a wall. I admit making one walk, turn and not fall over would be very difficult but free standing or poseable wouldn't be that bad.
I did spend a bunch of friday at work thinking about the walking aspect of it.
