SuicideGirls: Hard Girls, Soft Light Hardcover – January 15, 2013

If you haven't already been dazzled by the Suicide Girls then prepare for some awesome-sauce. This book is good (although the Beauty Redefined book is probably better overall). Great photos, and really awesome ladies. The videos are even better, as you get a chance to learn more about the girls and their backgrounds, their lives, and their personalities. Alternative beauty has never looked this good until now!

I said 5 stars cause I been a fan of Suicide Girls for years now, they never disappoint and are always care about their fans.I can't say anything bad about it, other then they need to make more books of alt beauty and make more Playing Cards, specially ones that aren't so cartoony. Everyone I know more or so know I like them, yeah not every ones bag with all the tats and piercings, but not all of them are over did.

First, from a product quality standpoint, this is well made with a good binding and high quality photos on high quality paper stock.My one wish for the book would have been that it would have been organized more like the previous book Beauty Redefined. Hard Girls, Soft Light seems to skip from model to model too fast, mostly a single page at a time. I would have liked small 3-4 page sections featuring each model more.Another poster commented that they wished that there would have been more models with tattoos and piercings. I think that this misses the entire point of SG. SG is about acknowledging a wide range of beauty that is outside the mainstream definition, whether it be through body modification or non-traditional body types or looks. By trying to pigeonhole the models represented into a certain look, you are actually going against the very thing that SG is trying to change. The point of the book is that the models are all different from both each other and the traditional standard (even if they don't have body mods). They all project a different image of beauty.

If you're a big fan of the Suicide Girls, you gotta have this book.It's great whether you're using for you own collection, or if you wanna shake things up a bit and use it for a coffee table book.I'm sure these awesome, tattooed beautiful women, will expand the minds of people who visit your home.Maybe it'll serve as a conversation piece.

I am a suicide girl fan. I think their girls are awesome and different from the main stream.The book itself feature various suicide girls. The pictures are very well shot, and the quality of the book is great.Good for photographic collection!

Buy the books. Check out the website. Follow them on Tumblr and FB. Missy has built an empire that thrives on bringing true beauty to the public, and not the cookie cutter boring stuff the media always tries to shove down our throats! Loved this one so much I bought the new one too. If you are a fan of beauty, great locations, and some amazing photography work, buy this. I will stack it up next to any coffee table book out there!

I already had the Beauty Redefined book and love it so was super excited about this one. The quality of the photos and artistry is still present but I was very disappointed that so few girls had any visible tattoos and/or piercings. I would say at least a quarter of the girls pictured didn't have any visible work. This is my only complaint, but since it is a Suicide Girls book I would have hoped for more visible work in the book. If you are looking for artsy pictures that show off truly beautiful girls and don't care so much about the tattoos/piercings this book will not disappoint. If you are looking for the tattoos and piercings they are still there, just not as much as in Beauty Redefined.

If you're a fan of the SG, then you need to own this book.I picked my up in preparation for their book signing tour & ended up getting it signed by several of the girls.The shots are spectacular; just what you would come to expect from SG.
