Suicide Girls is a website that features photos of goth, punk, pin-up models. Site works also as a community, with text profiles of those girls.
Ideology behind that was incredibly simple - as the creators, Sean Suhl and Selena Mooney have said 'just to see hot punk-rock girls naked', but the site became incredibly successful, and even was mentioned in popular crime story CSI:New York.
However, origin of the name is quite interesting - Ms.Mooney explains that:
"Suicide girls is a term my friends and I had been using to describe the girls we saw in Portland's Pioneer Square with skateboards in one hand, wearing aminor treat hoodie, listening to Ice Cube on their iPods while reading a book of Nick Cave's poetry. They are girls who didn't fit into any conventional sub-culture and didnt [sic] define themselves based on musical taste like punk, metal, goth, etc. I think the only classifications right now people identify with are mainstream and outside of mainstream. That is why the site is called SuicideGirls."
