The SuicideGirls are a collection of more than 2,500 pin-up girls devoted to changing your idea about what makes a woman beautiful ... and they are naked.

Started in Portland, Oregon, by Missy Suicide and her friends in 2001, the SuicideGirls broke conventional notions of beauty and the pin-up girl ideal as defined by men's and women's magazines and the culture at large.

In addition to the millions of visitors that frequent the SG Website, this book will appeal to both men and women (their membership is split nearly equally) who thought the shy, artsy chick with the black eyeliner and nose ring was the sexiest girl in high school (every guy in Silverlake, Williamsburg, and beyond).

Review

""They're the girl next door but more colorful and with better record collections."" —Spin

""Heavily-tattooed [Angelina Jolie] special ordered Hunky Valentine [Brad Pitt] the naughty coffee table book, 'SuicideGirls: Hard Girls, Soft Light,' a collection of more than 2,500 photos of young, tattooed, and nude pinups."" —National Enquirer

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.

Excellent book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

First, from a product quality standpoint, this is well made with a good binding and high quality photos on high quality paper stock.

My one wish for the book would have been that it would have been organized more like the previous book Beauty Redefined. Hard Girls, Soft Light seems to skip from model to model too fast, mostly a single page at a time. I would have liked small 3-4 page sections featuring each model more.

Another poster commented that they wished that there would have been more models with tattoos and piercings. I think that this misses the entire point of SG. SG is about acknowledging a wide range of beauty that is outside the mainstream definition, whether it be through body modification or non-traditional body types or looks. By trying to pigeonhole the models represented into a certain look, you are actually going against the very thing that SG is trying to change. The point of the book is that the models are all different from both each other and the traditional standard (even if they don't have body mods). They all project a different image of beauty.

Good, not great

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I already had the Beauty Redefined book and love it so was super excited about this one. The quality of the photos and artistry is still present but I was very disappointed that so few girls had any visible tattoos and/or piercings. I would say at least a quarter of the girls pictured didn't have any visible work. This is my only complaint, but since it is a Suicide Girls book I would have hoped for more visible work in the book. If you are looking for artsy pictures that show off truly beautiful girls and don't care so much about the tattoos/piercings this book will not disappoint. If you are looking for the tattoos and piercings they are still there, just not as much as in Beauty Redefined.

Young, thin, and beautiful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

Suicide Girls is all about celebrating alternative depictions of beauty, right? Well, if by 'alternative beauty,' they meant a book filled with young, thin, white women, yes, they did a great job celebrating the diversity of beauty inherent in young, thin, primarily-white women (some with tattoos!). I like their overall mission - mainstream conceptions of beauty are too limited and need expansion. I get it. In theory, it's sexy feminism at its best. I support this idea. That's why, next time, I would like to see more older, fatter, and/or browner ladies in the mix. Why not a hot lady in a wheelchair? I want to love SG, but besides the tattoos, I'm not sure how this book does anything to challenge mainstream conceptions of beauty.

Have always loved their work

Buy the books. Check out the website. Follow them on Tumblr and FB. Missy has built an empire that thrives on bringing true beauty to the public, and not the cookie cutter boring stuff the media always tries to shove down our throats! Loved this one so much I bought the new one too. If you are a fan of beauty, great locations, and some amazing photography work, buy this. I will stack it up next to any coffee table book out there!

too much like a catalog

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

The quality is high in printing and paper, but lacking in editing. I was disappointed to find a different model on every page, this reads more like a catalog of thumbnails, where I was hoping for more detail on fewer models. 400 pages of 400 girls feels too much like a hastily thrown together internet post, and not a high-art book like I was expecting. The writing consists of a single sentence by each name, which is so little information they might as well not have included it at all.

an awesome alt book of beauty

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2013

I said 5 stars cause I been a fan of Suicide Girls for years now, they never disappoint and are always care about their fans.
I can't say anything bad about it, other then they need to make more books of alt beauty and make more Playing Cards, specially ones that aren't so cartoony. Everyone I know more or so know I like them, yeah not every ones bag with all the tats and piercings, but not all of them are over did.

A MUST HAVE LOVERS OF ALTERNATE BEAUTY AND TATTOO CULTURE.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2015

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.

If you haven't already been dazzled by the Suicide Girls then prepare for some awesome-sauce. This book is good (although the Beauty Redefined book is probably better overall). Great photos, and really awesome ladies. The videos are even better, as you get a chance to learn more about the girls and their backgrounds, their lives, and their personalities. Alternative beauty has never looked this good until now!

Hard to beat!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

After falling in love with Suicide Girls: Beautiful Redefined I had to get my hands on this product. Least to say I was not disappointed! SG: Hard Girls, Soft light gives a different and refreshing view on alternative beauty with crisp, professional photography which captured the models perfectly. The lovely ladies featured were tasteful and sexy as well as having stunning artwork! I was also chuffed as some of my favorite suicide girls were captured within Hard Girls, Soft light. Overall I was very pleased with the book and the theme have it a one up over Beauty Redefined.

A celebration of feminine beauty without a nip or a tuck in sight. Suicide Girls features alternative models, mostly amateurs, displaying tattoos, piercings and real female bodies in tasteful and beautifully arranged photographs. The quality of this book on every level is stunning. A fantastic tribute to the true beauty of women.
