A SUICIDE INTERVIEW

Bob Suicide describes herself as a gamer, nerd and porn model. I have never really known if being a Suicide Girl counts as being a porn artist or a porn model. Whatever the difference is, I do know that Suicide Girls have revolutionized the market as far as pretty girls with tattoos goes. Having been around for more than 10 years, this community and page has evolved so much that now, aside from counting with millions of faithful followers, they publish books and sell merchandise related to their main product: pictures of beautiful and tattooed women.

Thank you for talking with us. We’re big fans not only of your beauty but at the fact that you love Star Wars. Most people are familiar w/ your pictures and paraphernalia regarding the saga, can you elaborate on your fascination w/ the films?

I watched the original episodes and I liked them.  They’re good movies: a well done story with great use of the jungian hero’s journey that defines the SciFi genre and innovative effects for the time.

What is your favorite Star Wars episode? Why?

Empire Strikes Back. It defines the series. All the best, most memorable scenes happen in that episode. And, because I’m always such a “bad guy” (especially when I play games like ME and Skyrim), I really like the ending. (Spoiler free explanation!)

What character in the movie do you have the biggest crush on?

R2D2.

Like Kevin Smith, I think Chewbacca should’ve gotten a medal for Star Wars Episode IV, What is your opinion on this?

I understand where this is coming from. Part of me tends to agree. Then, another part of me doesn’t want to give Lucas any more ideas for new edits…“NOOOOOOOOOOO!”

When did you first become interested in tattoos?

I don’t particularly remember a time when I wasn’t.

Tell us about your first tattoo experience? What did you get?

I used to draw my first tattoo, a Sumerian star and crescent, on my foot with a sharpie every morning for three years before I actually got it.

Are you planning on getting any new tattoos? If yes, what is the concept and where on your body?

I’ll eventually get Vespasian’s last words, “Vae puto deus fio,” but I’m not quite sure how or where.

What was your journey and experience like becoming a Suicide Girl?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…when I was able to apply, I did. Then I shot a set and was accepted in 2008.

Are there any perks?

The secret handshakes and superpowers are a big plus.

What sort of stereotypes do you commonly observe for having tattoos and/or being a Suicide Girl?

I haven’t really observed any. But, then again, I never really leave my couch…and it’s a judgment-free loveseat.

You are known as a video gamer, what is your favorite video game? Why?

I don’t have a favorite; mostly because it’s too difficult to pick. I have a top ten listed on my SG blog…and even that was difficult to narrow down.

As a public figure you have thousands of fans. What has been the creepiest e-mail you have received from a fan?
I wouldn’t really describe any email I’ve received from a fan as creepy.

Your photo sessions where you appear with other Suicide Girls are to die for! Which is your favorite photo? Why?
Every time I shoot something I seem to find a new picture I like. I’ve got one that I shot a couple of months ago that I’m really excited about. But, I do have an outtake shot from my “Beyond the Sea” set that I use on my business cards. So, that’s probably my favourite.

You’ve been a Suicide Girl from the very beginning. What advice do you have for any aspiring females wanting to become Suicide Girls?
Join SG. Check out the hopefuls groups for some helpful pointers on the type of things SG looks for in a photoset and general modeling tips. And, most importantly, get involved in the SG community: make some blogs, check out some groups, comment in threads…have fun!

Thank you for your time Bob.
