 Girls doing what girls do best: shutting up and looking pretty! July 23, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Now for those of your simple minded sots who somehow stumbled onto this book and are scratching your beard stubble (dudes and shaggy women both!) This is a swell book, it's got a lot of pictures of girls with tattoos and piercings laying around looking bored/seductive/pissed off, but believe you me dude: this is what you want. I'm not going to go on a non-jingoistic review of how this is girl power or how daring and cutting Missy Suicide is (gee with a name like that she must have been one butt ugly baby and perhaps her parents were hinting at something most vile?)
This is a book with underground girls you see every so often with multihued hair, sweet tattoos (in my opinion), or weird face piercings that you can't stop and wonder what kind of life they must lead, how fun and interesting they must be and if they kiss girls (fun fact: most of them do!) I would recommend this book for anyone who loves sexy weirdos being themselves and not being ashamed to be or act a certain way because it's not the "norm", "ladylike" or even "arousing".

Suicide Girls book review March 13, 2008

This book is a collection of unique and beautifully shot photographs. It will make a good addition to any Suicide Girls' collection.

I first got this book because I wanted to perfect my artist skill on drawing the human form, aside from wanting to look at hot naked women. After I first gazed at the pages, I realized that it is more of an artsy-pin up book than a collection of nude photgraphs like the cover leads you to believe.
I was instantly hooked and wanted to become one simply becuase of the fact that I have so much in common with girls such as Fractal, Mary, Snow, Regan, Tegan, Sicily, Voltaire, Stormy and Shera as well as countless others. Also the fact that it has a section in the back that allows you to get to know the girls is a definate bonus.
Yet since the date of the books first publication most of the girls have left. (I.E. Tegan, Sicily, Apnea, Katie, Voltaire, Stormy and Shera ect) A 2005 article suggests that several of these models had filed claimes of breach of contract and exploitation.
Such claimes gave way to an unsuccesful law suit which ended in favor of the owners of Suicide Girls rather than the ex-models. Yet you can still see some if not all at other alternative porn websites such as Godsgirls,Deviant Nation and Apneatic. However this does not make me love Suicide Girls any less and I still catch myself glancing at the book and drawing them, not to mention visiting the website and fantasizing of becoming a model...Well maybe if I lose at least the 20lbs that I have been needing to get off!
 Let's be honest... September 4, 2007

So. I've never wanted to pay for membership on the SG site, but I've always had an attraction and fascination with the whole punk/goth/indie/alternative type of look. So when this book was released, I jumped on it.
- The photos aren't very artistic. They're simple and straightforward, shot with a standard digital camera.
- It's arranged rather simply, with little or no thought to the placement of the images. (Usually two images side by side per page)
- True, you can probably find a lot of similar images on the internet.
- Some of the girls are absolutely beautiful, but I find some rather unattractive.
- The quality of the pictures is rather poor, since the original intent of SG was purely online. So the change from pixels to print never translates well.
- There's very little about the girls themselves... just short, self-written bio's on some of the girls in the back.
- Let's be honest... you're just buying this for the boobies of cute indie chicks... and that's okay.
After a couple viewings, it doesn't have a lasting effect that the likes of Tony Ward or maybe Richard Kern's work might have. Less art and more taboo. It's an inexpensive book, so if you're into the whole naked chicks with tattoos and piercing, I'd say go for it.
Deflated fan July 1, 2007
The was fine...and thats all....sorry to say
I have been a Suicide Girls fan from the moment i stumbled across their site.
I expected the book to make me go WOW, most of the picvtures were known to me. some were quite ordinary
even for me....a die hard fan it was hrd to find the WOW Factor.
