The SuicideGirls are a collection of more than 2,500 pin-up girls
devoted to changing your idea about what makes a woman beautiful
... and they are naked. Started in Portland, Oregon, by Missy
Suicide and her friends in 2001, the SuicideGirls broke
conventional notions of beauty and the pin-up girl ideal as defined
by men's and women's magazines and the culture at large. This time
around "SuicideGirls isn't redefining what it means to be beautiful
or what it means to be a geek. They're celebrating the fact
they've] always been here, they've] always been geeks, and they've]
always been beautiful." "SuicideGirls: Geekology" casts the
spotlight on the self-proclaimed geeks of the SuicideGirls
population the video-game players, the comic-book readers, the
Trekkies, and many other shining examples of the culture they're
celebrating. There's something really wonderful about this book.
There's something beautiful around the idea of showcasing girl
geeks in all their glory: to go beyond the photos and find out
that, to us, each piece of the picture means something. To find out
how many hours we put into designing our cosplay and how attentive
we are to the homages we create. We're not just playing dress up in
a world we know nothing about. We were right there with it, helping
to build popularity from the ground up: first in line, issue number
one. Once a subculture of a subculture, women are now a full force
in the geek community."
