So pretty much like many corporate sponsorship deals then...they may receive a decent enough cash sum for their modelling shoots for SG....who knows? It's a pretty slickly run empire they have built up, not exactly back alley stuff as far as I can tell. The fact that many actors and musicians are happy to associate themselves with the SG brand to me says a lot....

I don't think it's trying to be arty, it's just trying to cash in on the type of person who thinks that they subscribe to some obscure subculture, when really they're just boring assholes like the rest of us who happen to have some tattoos or a piercing. The idea of empowerment is bullshit, it's no different from any other soft porn and I very much doubt the girls are any less exploited than on any other site with 'normal' girls on it.

Goth/Emo/Punk/Indie/Metal/Rock fashion aside, I actually find a large proportion of these girls to be genuinely ugly. Yes, the style might be 'different' and 'refreshing' to the average 'punker' who just wants to stick a middle finger up to the corporate media and drones of society while paying $20 a month to jerk off to pictures of a nude woman with pink hair and a tattoo on her stomach, but I genuinely don't see the sex appeal in half of these girls

I thought Suicide Girls were naked chicks. And that was it.

Everyone of you has read far too much into this. Its naked chicks. Perhaps naked chicks that aren't your usual naked chick models cos of tattoos and piercings and hair styles that page 3 naked chicks wouldnt get away with. But still naked chicks.

All this talk of empowering and arty nonsense is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Its naked chicks.

SG is for weirdos to meet weirdos who like gawping at other weirdos who have problems
