When I was young, I was a really really awkward, weird, and introverted kid. My favorite past times included sitting in my room by myself doing one of the following activities:
Reading, writing, drawing, painting, sewing, and watching movies.
My dark little room was my sanctuary away from all the things in my childhood that made me so sad and angry. When I turned thirteen I started noticing boys and girls, being attracted to them both as I am, and through that I found SuicideGirls online. I thought they were the most beautiful and proud alternative ladies I've ever seen. I told my mom I wanted to be one some day and never really thought about it until I turned seventeen or so.
When I became a Suicide Girl I found another sanctuary for myself other than hiding in my bedroom being crafty and drinking tea. I feel like this is a place where I'm comfortable and don't have to worry about my strangeness. I could celebrate it even.
I've never reduced the naked female body to a base sexual desire. I see it rather as yet another from of expressing yourself. There are so many different artistic mediums out there and I consider the human body to be one of them, with all of its curves and forms it's easy to create a language, emotion, and story with your pictures. It's like music in the flesh and I love to dance.
