The reason they seem suicide girl-esque is because at least one of them was: Amina suicide.
I rather like the suicide girls though because I love tattoos, piercings and girls.

Braindance, I completely understand what you mean about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – ridiculously beautiful, and reminds me of a cross between Romola Garai (who is massively talented, and massively underrated) and Kat Dennings. The UK might not produce the majority of high-fashion models, but the ones that do make it are memorable.

You know where some of these are going, so thank you in advance for the information Lady Wolf.
I think he has skills for sure, I especially like the way he captures motion and the beauty of little people, rather than smoldering beauties.
Saying that, I do have a girl crush on Rosie something Whitley, even more so now she is donking Chev Chelios. Lucky girl.

There are very good pictures of Alex Wek, and even better from Africa. I’m not sure that anyone is claiming that the site is breaking barriers – but it certainly shows that Warwick is a very talented and versatile photographer.

sister wolf, cricket9: let me preface this by saying my comment stemmed from the fact that some people see the suicide girls and women that have a lot of ink as defying western standards of beauty.

To that point, standards of beauty still revolve around whiteness, being thin, and a focus on breasts, hips, ass, etc. With regards to race, finding the two black women, or racially ambiguous ones, does not, i believe, prove that this site is breaking barriers. Being a woman of color in the beauty or sex industry is still incredibly hard. Sister, you yourself have commented on this previously on your blog.

I also find it interesting that you used “exotic” to describe these women, but that’s a whole other conversation…and I’m gonna be late to work.

Dace C – Really?? I just can’t get excited about him. Maybe I don’t fancy blond guys.

RLC – Rudy seems like he’s hard to please. Some of these girls are total classic babes. Perhaps he just hates tattoos on women, period.

I h8 suicide girls and Ruby Rose but I quite like this shoot. I find girls with (GOOD*) tattoos extremely hot.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some impeccably presented girls and women with what I’d describe as “classic style” (20s chic, 40s glamour, 50s elegance, whatever) but I would probably have to submit their photos to Rudy for verification.

* I like beautifully-done traditional style tattoos, sadly all tattoos get a bad rap because to every good one there are 500 heinous ones. Although it does mean I get to enjoy ugliesttattoos.com updates frequently

Juli – You can ignore Rudy. He’s usually talking out of his behind about subjects of which he has no actual knowledge only opinion.

Right Rudy, like you’ve proven that you know anything about “classic style”. Whose “classic style” are you talking about? Tattoos are an integral part of the New Zealand Maori’s classic style. Thai men have displayed tattoos as symbols of their status and classic style.
