Seriously though, anyone who'd read this article - on the illustrious and deeply respected - Suicide Girls website, and have their opinions swayed one way or another is most likely hopeless to begin with. I didn't even know anyone even gave a shit about the S.G. website anymore. After their big "U.S. Tour," and tepid DVD that tanked harder than the last Rocky movie, I figured everyone had moved on from these chicks, realizing the obscene levels of vapid, suburbanite, self involved, narcisistic bullshit emanating from their entire "movement."
Newsflash, a real tough rock n' roller chick wouldn't be spending her free time taking cutesy, pedestrian, "danger" laced photos of themselves to put on the internet. I can imagine few things more intrinsically un-tough. Those chicks are are marshmallows. I know I'm ranting here, and them unloading a seriously steaming pile of nonsense on R.P. makes it easier (seriously, the best they got is some already widely disproven rumors??... WEAK), but I realized they, the S.G.'s, were lame from the get go. Some trends just take far too long to die. Spending your trust fund on cocaine, vodka tonics, peircings, Hot Topic and vintage rock shirts on ebay does not make you dangerous. It makes you a spoiled twentysomething with too much money and too much free time.
The "Suicide Girls," whole thing, from top to bottom is entirely false. I worked at a record store for a while, and we hosted an instore where these girls were supposed to just hang out behind a table and sign autographs. Faster than you can say, "who gives a shit!," almost no one showed up to meet the infamous and oh so scary/sexy suicide girls. This event was more than well advertised, and this particular record store is very famous and huge. The problem, as they saw it was, the only guys coming up to them to meet them and say hello, were not the "cute emo and indie-rocker," boys they'd fantasized would've been flocking to them, but instead it was all creepy older guys (no offense, older un-creepy guys). I know this, because they said so. Seriously. They all had this tired, dissapointed look on their faces. I actually kinda felt bad for them that their elaborate plans of a glorified dating service didn't work out. Hey, rock on trustafarians. Next on the list: getting a real job.
Ok, ok, long rant... my point is: the suicide girls are in my estimation, ridiculous. But they are what they are. It's soft core porn, but the girls feel ok about it since they choose to exhibit themselves. To each his own, I suppose. That much I don't have a problem with. However, them trying their hand at politics? No one who wasn't already of questionable judgement would have their mind changed by one of the S.G.'s political blogs.
