What Playboy magazine was to the 1950's, SuicideGirls is to the new millennium: a revolutionary lifestyle brand that combines the DIY attitude of underground culture with a vibrant, sex-positive community. Now comes Suicide Girls: The First Tour, a DVD featuring the unique mix of punk and burlesque that made the SuicideGirls first national tour such a hit with audiences. Beyond the stage performances, this DVD follows the women along for an intimate behind-the-scenes look at life in the van, along with exclusive photo shoots, and behind-the-scenes antics like trying to set up a topless photo shoot on the streets of San Francisco at midnight. In 2004, the SuicideGirls traveled 9,000 miles around the country to perform 60 sold-out burlesque shows in 45 cities, and this DVD documents it all. Giving a goth attitude to the tradition peek-a-boo, the SuicideGirls are sexy, seductive and charming as well as chaotic and candid, with scenes from the live performances interspersed with intimate looks at the individual models.
The Suicide Girls are tattooed, pierced, beautiful young girls who do burlesque-type performances, have a website-based community, and do photo shoots of what can be considered soft core porn. The dvd has showcase introductions to a small handful of the hundreds of active SGs. There are high quality filmed photo shoots, a good soundtrack, footage of stage performances, with wild rock star antics shot on-the-road and backstage. The SGs are a member-based group who emphasize originality over airbrushing and implants.
The Suicide Girls are a burlesque troup of hot, young women. They have tattoos and piercings and some have unnatural hair colors. The documentary shows performances, interviews with individual SGs, and having fun on the road. There is a lot of nudity, and it bears repeating that they are hot. This kind of thing should be encouraged.****/*****
