Click link for forum discussion… did you know Henry Rollins is a pole dancer?
Suicide Girls… what a FRAUD that website turned out to be. In the early days users were lead to believe it was a female run site.. when in reality the girlfriend of the guy who ran it was shoved out front to do media and told what to say. Models have been ripped off, underpaid, given dodgy restrictive contracts, and SG has sold photographs and content from their site to porn sites that degrade and exploit women, the kind of porn that Suicide Girls was meant to be a reaction against. Back in 2005 and ex Suicide Girl model said:
“What’s going on right now is a slap in the face to feminism,” says Jennifer Caravella, a/k/a Sicily, a thin, raven-haired woman with nipple piercings and big eyes. “If Suicide Girls portrayed themselves as Hustler, or Playboy, that would be fine, whatever — people have the right to make their own choices. But don’t pretend to be alternative and punk rock. There’s nothing punk rock about that Web site.” Source.
It’s the deception that’s the worst part. And the fact that zillions of so called punk rock girls are now making it their life’s purpose to model for a corporation that seeks to exploit them. Hustler, Suicide Girls… same shit (behind the scenes), different shovel. Anyone who pays money to Suicide Girls for site membership and merch is a participant in this exploitation. Type ‘boycott suicide girls’ into your googles to learn more.
Oh wait…. this is a Henry Rollins blog… not a feminist rant blog. Oh well. DEAL.
