SuicideGirls: Hard Girls, Soft Light

Written by Lee King

The SuicideGirls: Hard Girls, Soft Light ($32) is a collection of over 2,500 pin-ups of girls that are devoted to changing perceptions of what makes women beautiful … oh and they’re all naked. Started by Missy Suicide and friends back in 2001 in Portland, Oregon the SuicideGirls broke the mould when it came to the conventional notions of what is beautiful and the long standing ideal of pin-up girls as defined by not only magazines but also culture in general. This book will not only appeal to those millions who regularly visit the SG website but also to men and women who always thought that shy, arty chick with nose ring and black eyeliner was the hottest girl in school.
