Suicide Girls In California
Those oh-so-crazy goth girls of the video game world are infiltrating California's Meltdown Comics and you're invited! The Suicide Girls will be signing and hanging out at Meltdown Comics on December 11th and the best state with a pacific Ocean coastline's biggest comic shop wants you there!
Why am I posting this, you may ask? Well, for one, Meltdown Comics is a great store I was lucky enough to visit last time I was out in L.A. for work. Also, while the Suicide Girls aren't necessarily comics-centric, they represent a minority within a very, VERY white male dominated genre. Regardless of your feelings towards the SG's themselves, they've carved out a fair sized niche in an industry that doesn't take too well "their kind."

SuicideGirls
SuicideGirls is a contemporary lifestyle brand. Combining the DIY attitude of underground culture with a vibrant, sex positive community of women (and men), the company was founded on the belief that creativity, personality and intelligence are not incompatible with sexy, compelling entertainment, and millions of people agree. The site mixes the smarts, enthusiasm and DIY attitude of the best music and alternative culture sites with an unapologetic, grassroots approach to sexuality.

There are many of us who have carved out our own niche in comics who aren't Suicide Girls. I saw them at a con before and I felt they hindered women's presence as fans rather than helping. It's not the sexy part, it's what they DO with the sexy that bothers me.
Most definite an argument with merit. I tend to walk past their booths at cons, but they still seem to draw a crowd of women around them. Drawing a crowd of men isn't difficult at those places, so nothing special there.
