Suicide Girls - Beauty Redefined explores the Suicide Girl phenomenon from their start in 2001 to their websites one million unique weekly visitors today. This giant tome provides a timely look at the fascinating women who created and inhabit the SG community. With an introduction by SG founder, Missy Suicide and images of hundreds of SuicideGirls world-wide, this title shines a light on a new female aesthetic - a look reminiscent of vintage Betty Page and Bunny Yeager photos, but with a decisively 21st century edge. "There's no other place in the media to see girls (like these) who are tremendously smart and beautiful in their own way" says Missy, "Everywhere you look you just see the super-thin, super-tall, bleach blonde Baywatch babe. There are a lot of people out there who want to see a different kind of beauty."

About the Author

Combining her love of pin-up photography, music and art with personal ideals of female empowerment nurtured in DIY culture, Missy founded SuicideGirls as a place where a woman can be herself and where her confidence, creativity and uniqueness are what defines her. While it is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Missy found the camera lens of mainstream media a bit myopic for her taste. SuicideGirls began and has grown from a desire to expand mainstream culture's definition of what is beautiful, and to show that it can be realized in a more diverse range of women than those who grace the pages of most fashion magazines and movie posters. What started for Missy as personal expression has now become a revolution.

Raised in Portland, Oregon in what could be described as an eclectic and artistic environment, Missy combines her traditional fine arts training with new media business acumen in the operation of SuicideGirls. In addition, Missy continues to photograph women for the site. Her photography focuses on depicting how each model feels sexiest about themselves in the photos and has inspired a generation of young women to embrace their bodies and showcase their confidence.

Since launching SuicideGirls, Missy has become a voice for the culture on sexuality outside of what mainstream media is reporting. She has been interviewed on issues relating to music, the Internet, pop culture and body image on numerous radio stations and in publications such as the New York Times, Wired, Spin and Elle. Recently featured as one of the top ""12 Sexiest Jobs in Hollywood"" and the ""20 Sexiest Jobs on the Web"", Missy has appeared on HBO, Fox News, the new hit series ""CSI: NY"" on CBS, as well as the two SuicideGirls movies in constant rotation on Showtime. She hosts a weekly SuicideGirls talk radio show on LA's Indie 103.1 and was recently chosen to model as part of peta2's 2008 ""Ink, Not Mink"" celebrity, anti-fur ad campaign.

Pretty pictures...lots of them.

Ordered this book from Amazon because Suicide Girls wanted waaaay too much for it. 20 bucks is quite a steal for this massive hardcover volume. The pages are huge, thick heavy weight paper, and full color. The only thing lacking was the complete absence of text past the introduction. With nearly 400 pages my neck and eyes grew sore and eventually I had to set the book down. The book is mostly thin white girls in little to no clothes (of an emo/goth/punk nature mostly). This includes tons of tattoos, hair in unusual styles & color, body piercings, etc... Basically playboy but cooler (ergo no hardcore sex pics like in hustler or anything). In all well worth the 20 I paid, but I would have shelled out a few more if there had been text to accompany some of the pics. Even quotes from personalities past and present like SG Facebook uses when showing their daily pictorial teaser photo would have earned that extra star. Still a worthy buy for your bookcase.

Almost A Masterpiece

I love SuicideGirls, I adore them. I have every other publication they offer and they're all top notch. This is the pinnacle of a pop culture Queen's magnificent, brief career. I love this book, however, a couple of major things kept this from being 5 stars. First, the photographs are wonderful, big, bold and beautiful, but the Photoshop tweaking of colors is a little too much. Second, where is Asia represented? Hello! Tokyo! But over 375 pages of the most beautiful women to ever walk the Earth, it's still worth every cent and faster shipping. Los Angeles women are inked supreme!

I couldn't think of a more appropriate title for this book. As a child of the 80's, I grew up in the era where tattoos and piercings started becoming acceptable. There is still a certain stigma attached to people with body mods, and much more so for a woman, but I have to say I find nothing more beautiful than a tattooed woman. This book will shed a new light on this subculture and show that these women are as beautiful, and to me even more so, than any mainstream fashion or runway model out there. This is a must see for anyone who loves the beauty of body art and for those curious about something they may have never seen like this before.

If you are an SG member you know what to expect. Lots of really awesome girls showing a different side to the world of "beauty" -- this is a good book to explore the SG gals. However I feel like it is a bit dated in that the "hard girls soft light" book that came out more recently is a bit "better" .... but still, worth the price of admission for certain --- but the new book only gets better!

If you're a big fan of the Suicide Girls, you gotta have this book.
It's great whether you're using for you own collection, or if you wanna shake things up a bit and use it for a coffee table book.
I'm sure these awesome, tattooed beautiful women will expand the minds of people who visit your home.
Maybe it'll serve as a conversation piece.

Lovely photos of suicide girls for those who like the SG style. Wouldn't say that it's "Art", I believe that everybody with some photo knowledge, good equipment and nice models can do those shots (some of my friends are living proof to it), but if you like suicide girls and want something more than site (like another media), this book is for you :)

It's a great coffee table book, as long as you're not hosting evening tea with some proper ladies. The photos are done in great taste and the collection does a great deal to show of the various ways beauty can be displayed.
Two of my personal favorites are the way they separated the women into regions and the way some photos have added artistic layouts.
