What is suicide girls?

SuicideGirls is an online community that was founded in 2001, featuring alternative pin-up photography of models known as Suicide Girls. Unlike traditional pin-up representations, the models on SuicideGirls typically showcase a variety of body types, and often have tattoos, piercings, and other elements of alternative culture. The site was created by Selena Mooney, known as Missy Suicide, in Portland, Oregon.

The platform is known for promoting a more inclusive and diverse representation of beauty, challenging mainstream norms. It's both a social network and a media outlet, offering users the ability to interact via forums, blogs, and comments.

Beyond the website, SuicideGirls has expanded into various other media forms, including books, DVDs, a burlesque tour, and a presence on social media platforms. They've also been involved in various music and art collaborations, contributing to their influence within alternative and subculture communities.
