SuicideGirls: Geekology | ||||||||||

Product Description
The SuicideGirls are a collection of more than 2,500 pin-up girls devoted to changing your idea about what makes a woman beautiful ... and they are naked. Started in Portland, Oregon, by Missy Suicide and her friends in 2001, the SuicideGirls broke conventional notions of beauty and the pin-up girl ideal as defined by men's and women's magazines and the culture at large.This time around "SuicideGirls isn't redefining what it means to be beautiful or what it means to be a geek. They're celebrating the fact [they've] always been here, [they've] always been geeks, and [they've] always been beautiful."
"SuicideGirls: Geekology" casts the spotlight on the self-proclaimed geeks of the SuicideGirls population―the video-game players, the comic-book readers, the Trekkies, and many other shining examples of the culture they're celebrating.
There's something really wonderful about this book. There's something beautiful around the idea of showcasing girl geeks in all their glory: to go beyond the photos and find out that, to us, each piece of the picture means something. To find out how many hours we put into designing our cosplay and how attentive we are to the homages we create. We're not just playing dress up in a world we know nothing about. We were right there with it, helping to build popularity from the ground up: first in line, issue number one. Once a subculture of a subculture, women are now a full force in the geek community.

too much like a catalogby KSTAMM (3 out of 5 stars)
May 21, 2015
The quality is high in printing and paper, but lacking in editing. I was disappointed to find a different model on every page, this reads more like a catalog of thumbnails, where I was hoping for more detail on fewer models. 400 pages of 400 girls feels too much like a hastily thrown together internet post, and not a high-art book like I was expecting. The writing consists of a single sentence by each name, which is so little information they might as well not have included it at all.

I've always thought the SG ladies were very interesting, I love the nonconventual look. I have alot in common with most of them, awkward, geeky, introvert, and highly tattooed. This book could use more text with the ladies, but it does let you know some insight. The pictures are very relaxed and being taken by different artists is great. The ladies are very free and uninhibited and the sets areare full of variety. The book makes a great coffee table conversation.
One of the best of the SG books

This is one of my favorite SG books. The pictures are nice. It gives a little bio on each one of the models. I like the whole Geekology thing, It's not a book on Cosplay, and stays true to the name. If you are into the Suicide Girls, this is definitely worth a look.
Perfectly SG for the Nerds!

This one is just as good as the other SG book I own and it's really great. Sexy, artistic very cool, NOT PORN. I really enjoy it. It's SG with a nerdy flair. Very nice!

Awesome book. Just didn't like that I bought it "new" but it came with bent pages on certain girls and weird dried wet marks on some pages.
