The Suicide Girls aren't your grandmother's burlesque troop, unless your grandmother dyed her hair fuscia and counted The Germs among her favorite bands. This collective of young punk and goth women has become a phenomenon thanks to an immensely popular website where models' journal entries appear alongside their photo sets, a bestselling book, and other merchandise. 
Read our interview with Missy Suicide. | With Suicide Girls - The First Tour, the movement makes its debut on DVD, following a group of performers as they take their show on the road. The Suicide Girls founder, the charming Missy Suicide, appears with her camera in segments filmed during photo shoots, and is clearly having the time of her life helming this growing brand. In between performances in sold-out venues, interviews with the girls reveal the post-feminist ethos of this striptease empire, in which self-confidence, creativity, and personal ambition are hailed as the motivating factors behind why they enjoy taking their clothes off in front of a camera. Some viewers may be attracted to the message, while others may just be content to watch nubile young women with a variety of piercings vamp it up. Either way, Suicide Girls - The First Tour presents a spirited glimpse of a subculture bent on redefining what is beautiful.--Ryan Boudinot

 Do people here realize what a scam this whole thing is? April 15, 2006

Suicide Girls was started by a guy named Sean, and a lot of punk and goth girls saw it as "empowering" but it's just porn. Missy is the visible face but this is not a feminist enterprise. Wake up. Google them and read some of the stories of how they've screwed over models, faked diaries, self-censored themselves and taken pictures down, then lied and said they were targeted by the FBI. Sean has become a multimillionaire pornographer but there's nothing "alternative" here. I've seen the whole thing from the start.
 Fun and Inspiring! October 21, 2005

I saw this film screened at my college, where a couple of suicide girls attend, and I was surprised at how fun this film was!
Missy Suicide set out to show women of a more unusual aesthetic and attitude being sexy, strong, and stylish in a way that was captured in vintage erotic pin-ups. And she accomplished her goal. The girls in this video have fun doing what they do. They know just who they are and indulge themselves by bringing their unique personality and style to each performance.
In addition to plenty of fantastic and wild striptease segments and photo shoots, we get to hear the voices of each of the girls. They tell us tales of being on the road with their friends, of the joys of loving one's body and sharing it with the world, of just being who they are. We watch them strip naked and try to catch cabs in San Francisco (with surprising difficulty). We hear one girl's tale of how she made a guy need stitches. We see them whip and smack each other on stage as a way or relieving the frustrations of sitting in a van with each other for 8 hours.
Everything out of these girls' mouths just feels positive and empowering. And every sexy pose and dance, filled with color and confidence, is even more so. This is an overall fun documentary about what it means to be part of the Suicide Girl movement and I hope you come along for the ride.

I honestly did not care for this video. I don't know whether its a post-feminist statement or high class porn but either way it doesn't work. I would have been more interested if the women went into more details about their life rather than staged banter or the video footage was not so stylized as to be almost anti-erotic. Now if Richard Kern had directed it that might be another matter.

I really wish I could agree that the Suicide Girls are cool. I mean as individuals I'm sure all the girls are cool. But I mean the company "Suicide Girls" because it's such an awesome idea. But the truth is that Suicide Girls is as phony as Milli Vanilli. If you don't believe me, just do a google search and you'll learn pretty fast that this is a bad company who is mean to the girls. Bummer.
The perfect thing for SG fans August 27, 2005

While those out there who have no idea what SuicideGirls entails, they will probably enjoy the awesome girls,naughty quips, and hot booty.
However, for those of us who are ridiculously and wonderfully addicted to SG, this DVD is a great look at the girls and shows that we all adore and pander to. It's a great extension of the hot-chicks side of the site, with a closer look at the girls behinds the boobs. Personally, I loved seeing some of my favorite girls up on the stage (especially since I have not had the fortune to see a live show as of yet).
All in all, it's a rock n roll, naughty, wicked good time.
