Introduction
and this is my garden
a lover's knot of paths converging
to a sundial in its wheel of lemon-scented time
a secret garden
hedges in mazes where we run shrieking
following a trail of crumbs
a poet's garden
fists of roses inscribed with thorns
dragged free in a changeling wind
a nursery rhyme garden
where I shall be queen and you shall be king
and toadstools bloom in rings
a heretic's garden
where herbs have their own silent language
rain writing its occult script on water
a midnight garden
where bells ring out in tongues of astonishment
a stone lion crouches with scribbled mustache
and these are my forests
where paths shift and compasses spin
spiraling leaves hiding a broken altar
and this is my garden
these are my forests
this is my sacred sea

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.
