Missy Suicide and the SuicideGirls live at Quimby?s
Friday, July 2nd, 7:00 PM
FREE
What began as a personal homage to classic pin-up photography in 2001, has grown into phenomenon that intelligently captures new attitudes and interests of culture with a positive approach towards sexuality.
Since taking those first few photos of her friends who happened to be tattooed, pierced and uniformly anti in their attitudes towards the established notions of beauty, founder Missy Suicide has been propelled to the forefront of a global community and a budding main stream examination of beauty and sexuality.
This event is a release celebration for the new SuicideGirls coffee table book that displays the women of SuicideGirls over the past few years. SUICIDEGIRLS (published by Feral House) is 124 pages and displays over 200 fun, sexy and artful color photos that has come to define the women of SuicideGirls, the book also contains journal entries selected from the site and an introduction by Missy Suicide.
In addition to Missy, 8 SuicideGirls will be present to sign copies of the book and possibly perform a short set of their punk rock inspired Burlesque Act

Frank Duff is not a well-educated, well-bred or even well-behaved person. This hasn’t however prevented him from achieving various degrees of success as a computer programmer, bicycle messenger and novelist. As a rookie roadshower, Frank Duff will be making harsh indictments against the world and everyone in it in the form of spoken word poetry and also reading from his punk rock novel Lysergically Yours.

Jasmine Dreame Wagner likes Clydesdale horses and hitchiking around developing countries. Unfortunately, there are few ponies in Brooklyn, and New York City is certainly well-developed, so she has to travel quite frequently in order to satiate her needs. Thanks to the Roadshow, she’ll be bringing her stories on the road, reading from her zine, Songs About Ghosts, and sharing tales about abandoned Soviet military bases in Estonia, the wildflowers of Nova Scotia, and where to find the best pizza and punkhouse shows in Brooklyn. Her interests include falling in love, telling the truth, and you.
