Spotlight of the Day: Pin-Ups

The spotlight of the day is focused on Pin-Up Models!

I adore modern day pin-up models, don't get me wrong, I love classic pin-up models. You can't appreciate modern day pin-up unless you appreciate where it started but I love piercings, tattoos, & body modifacation. Throw that together with the classic pic-up concept, & you have perfection!

What do you love?

Suicide Girls Selling Out?

Due to the recent vlog released by Shotgun Suicide, a small uproar of rebellion has cast against Suicide Girls.

They said that SG has lost touch with why it was created in the first place.

Some are outraged that the vlog, cast to so many "impressionable" girls, glamourizes the business. Saying that despite the courage it takes to get naked on the internet, doing so should't be a milestone in your life.

One fan said:

I love SG & I think this video is great to make girls wanna join but I think it might be over-glamorizing it? I wanna see all the work and effort these lovely ladies put in to get to the top. There's thousands of chicks wanting this pretty bad but how many will actually have a life like this?

Others love SG's art, style & attitude, their past focus. For that would want to join, but with SG's recent requirement for full-on nudity these past years, many are turned off.

& yet many more are turned-on.

There's a reason there isn't a Nobel Prize for Getting Naked on the Internet.

But still...



What do you think?
