Suicide Girls co-founder Missy Suicide.
Suicide Girls began in 2001 as a pinup site for “alternative” looking models, a site where semi-clad photos of heavily tattooed and pierced women would be embraced, and not derided. Over the years, that online community has planted deep roots in the pop-culture landscape, with Suicide Girls making numerous TV, film, and music video appearances, and even starring in their own comic.
The Suicide Girls have also taken their act on the road, putting together The Blackheart Burlesque tour, a burlesque show featuring models from the site performing a variety of pop-culture themed routines including Star Wars, Orange Is the New Black, Zelda, and more.
We spoke to Suicide Girls co-founder Missy Suicide to get the scoop on this current tour, how the site has managed to maintain such a respectful online community, and her current pop-culture obsessions.
