This is basically a strange off-shoot of a phenomenon which begun on the internet on the Suicide Girls website. After successfully releasing their first movie and organizing several tours in North America, the girls are seeking to expand their presence in Europe, but if this release is any reflection then it seems their European organization is not yet up to par with the American operations. Generally what is laudable about the Suicide Girls is that the website allows women to take exhibitionism into their own hands and encourages women who like tattoos and piercings to show them off for the pleasure of others. I personally see nothing wrong with this and I think it is a positive new direction for "sexual expression" which is considerably less demeaning and corrupt than mainstream venues for depiction of women in their natural state. The Suicide Girls are making a positive change in the industry by allowing real women to be themselves and be appreciated openly by other real people. In addition, the organization encourages the girls who participate to be involved in profit sharing and all the creative projects they can dream up. This film is the result of that opened opportunity for creative venue offered by the Suicide Girls, but like all free form creativity some is good and some is not so good. This is of the latter variety. While there are a few pretty scenes and attractive girls, there is little substance to the ideas the girls choose to explore in their brief segments and sadly it seems there are precious little original ideas in their pretty heads throughout the majority of the film. This is its primary failing. Secondarily I might add that if you are interested in seeing some really bad music videos, the extras on here provide some rare stellar examples!
Ya gotta love the Suicide Girls, such beauty in imperfection. Here you'll not find manufactured or store bought beauty, these girls are not airbrushed to a soft glowing unreality. Tattooed and pierced, they define eroticism for them selves, and bravo! I did however, think that the "1st Tour" DVD was better, this one is worthy of watching.

4/5 Stars (What can I say, I loe the Suicide Girls!)
I know I'm over a year late, but can you tell me who the blonde is in the picture above? Even among Suicide Girls, I'm finding more instances where the girls seem to be trying to fit into mainstream medias idea of beauty, such as beautiful, barely curvy girls ending up thinner and thinner. I'd rather see ribs on a plate than on a hot chick.
