Hot Tattooed Chicks Callin' the Shots

Suicide Girls weren't the first alt-porn site but you could say they took porn to a whole new level. They are without doubt the most widely promoted if not the largest and most influential of all alt-porn sites. They effectively made porn cool attracting nerds as well as hipsters and thats just the models. Although Suicide Girls have received their fair share of criticism there is no doubt that they have redefined pornography and attract a predominantly female audience.

The models themselves have been described as cynical, bitter and jaded as hell or appealing to the Emo set. There seems to be no shortage of guys who want to discuss Voltaire with them whilst jacking off and they are not disappointed. There is no academic deficiencies amongst some of the girls. Their spokesperson and regular columnists Marisa Di Mattia of Needled fame is a high flying legal eagle.

Possibly the biggest attraction of the Suicide Girls is with the girls’ interactions with other members. Each Suicide Girl has her own profile page which includes her photo sets, and blog. Members can post on their favorite Suicide Girl's blog, send private messages or just keep up with their day to day life online.

Erotic filmmaker Candida Royalle, a former porn actress herself and a longtime champion of women’s sexuality, sees the Suicide Girls’ philosophy as part of a larger shift in societal attitudes. No longer are the girls happy with demeaning depictions of themselves. They literally call their own shots and have a fair degree of control on how they want to be portrayed.
