To be seen for who we really are ... not some role (son, wife, teacher, etc.) or some 'symptom bearer'  (oh, she's the crazy one) or even the disguise (pretense, suit, uniform, etc.) we wear in public... but ourselves, well that's rare. And to have that 'self' be appreciated is quite special in my experience.   I somehow think that's what Suicide Girls ideally seek... to have their own special, personal, and unique beauty seen and appreciated rather than overlooked with some mild disdain for tats or piercings. As a nerd (or "egghead") throughout grade school who was bullied by the self-proclaimed 'cool kids,' I'm particularly resentful of being reduced to a 'type' rather than as an individual, uniquely myself.
