I
like my boobs. They aren't Hollywood caliber,
but they're very nice. I ain't afraid to show
'em either. If you've ever seen me perform,
you've probably seen one or both of them rubbed
with glitter and jostling bra-less in some
see-through thingie I've thrown on for the
night. So when SuicideGirls.com (the much
hyped, punk rock, soft-porn site on the verge
of relocating to L.A. and becoming very very
big) asked me to pose, I was flattered and
all for it. Little did I know my B-cup boobies
would become embroiled in a tangled web of
sex, lies and chaos....
Because
I'm no twenty-nothing hottie stripper or the
usual tattooed
beauty you find on SuicideGirls.com, I wanted
to take a different approach to how I would
be represented. I couldn't be just another
girl on the site--I'm too old and too much
of an egomaniac. So I informed one of their
staffers that I would do a set for free (they
had offered me money) if I was a featured
artist on the site, i.e. pick my own photographer,
content and have the set be accompanied by
an interview and downloadable music. I was
told that this would be fine... great, even.
After
the photographer (Marne Lucas from Velour
Productions) and I had already spent a couple
hundred dollars on film, lights, studio space
and peanut butter Clif Bars, we commenced
this super-hot photo shoot that would be a
part of my set. I asked the young lady at
the S.G. headquarters if she would like to
be part of the shoot, during which she could
conduct the interview. "Great," was the E-mailed
reply.
We
had been shooting since 8pm and the S.G. rep
arrived around 10:30pm. She couldn't find
a tape recorder so she had brought her laptop
and ticked a few notes on it while observing
the shoot. When it was time for her part of
the shoot we got into costume and snapped
off about a roll and a half of film with her
and me goin' at it. I was dressed as a man
and she was in a filmy black nighty and leather
boots. At 1am we were wrapping up, totally
beat, when the young lady pouted and said,
"No nudity?" I told her that there would be
plenty of nudity and that this was only a
part of the whole thing. I assured her she'd
get to see more stuff when she was ready to
do the interview. She was still pouting when
I said goodnight to her so I promised to call
her in the morning and we'd figure out a deadline
for it all. Turns out I never had to call
her.
She
was desperately trying to reach me all the
next morning, saying she was getting fired
unless she could get some nudes of me right
away. And if she couldn't get them, could
I come over for a photo shoot that day? I
was trying to wake up enough to understand
what she was talking about and get ready for
two intense rehearsals and a few of my own
deadlines. I told her no. "Can I photograph
you at rehearsal?"
"What....naked?"
I said, half-joking.
"Maybe....um....
topless." She was obviously desperate. I wanted
to help her out but wouldn't budge. Why, all
of a sudden, was my nakedness so desperately
needed? Did someone need proof I was really
a girl? The Suicide Girls with all of their
major press coverage couldn't possibly be
wanting for content. Tons of girls from all
over the world, umpteen times hotter than
myself, had heard the hype and wanted in.
I'm sure the S.G. e-mail was packed with young
tight flesh in all colors and sizes. I was
beginning to feel strangely... special. But
I wasn't gonna give. This was not the deal
we had discussed two weeks earlier. Straight
up NO .
She
was practically begging me, saying she was
already in trouble and they were looking for
someone to replace her. Why? It didn't make
any sense at all. They weren't supposed to
get anything of me until May and this was
still the 1st week of April. I was starting
to feel a little weird about a girl losing
her job over having no naked pictures of me.
OK, maybe I felt a little flattered. I offered
to talk to her boss. She said no, that it
would make no difference. I apologized again
but had to get on with my day.
I was
at rehearsal number one and my phone was off.
During a break I checked my messages to find
that SuicideGirls.com, the forward thinking,
sex-positive, alt-life torchbearers, had called
my employers to inform them that as long as
I am an entertainer at their establishment,
they, SuicideGirls.com, would do no business
with them whatsoever. Hmmm. As a courtesy
to my boss I called the manager of S.G.com
to try and make sense of it all. The manager
ended up being a shrill and pissy man who
only confused me further.
He
couldn't tell me what I had done to create
such a catastrophe. I'm still thinking that
they wanna see me naked, and I'm ready to
swing by the office and moon or flash somebody
if it'll help. All I hear is that the rep
who spent two hours in the studio with me,
late at night, had done so in lieu of doing
some VERY IMPORTANT WORK for the site. And,
since she hadn't done that VERY IMPORTANT
WORK, they missed a deadline that cost them
thousands of dollars. OK, so where is that
my fault? I'm really trying to understand
when he angrily informs me that not only would
Suicidegirls have nothing to do with me,
but
if I used any of the pictures with their
S.G. rep in them (who, because of me, was
fired, by the way) he promised to slam me
to every record label they do business with
and blah-blah-blah-threat-threat-threat...
I cut him off, saying, "Look, I'm only calling
to figure out what's going on and as a courtesy
to my boss." He brusquely snapped that he
no longer did business with my boss, so
there. "Whatever," I continued. "We actually
don't care about that. He wanted me to call
you because he seems to think that you're
a nice guy." Then
I started to defend the young rep, telling
him that he'd be making a big mistake by
firing her. He wouldn't even listen to me.
He said my version of events was totally
opposite to the rep's story. Which left
me to wonder why, if he believed her, was
she fired? And if she was no longer with
Suicide Girls, what business was it of his
if she poses for someone else down the line?
I was more confused than ever and getting
pretty pissed off at this point. Trying
to remain calm but starting to feel like
a patsy, I finally said good-bye and wished
him luck in Los Angeles.
The
way this situation was handled was bizarre
to say the least. What the hell happened?
I got blamed and attacked for something
I'm totally ignorant of. Sure, I'm a cunt,
but I like to take credit for the foul and
evil things that I do so I can dance on
the graves of my victims, laugh at their
weeping children, kick their pets and whatnot.
But when vilification comes outta left field,
I have nothing to brag about. Plus I don't
get to be a Suicide Girl and have my image
owned outright by a squealing jackass. Bummer.
All the girls I've met from S.G. are amazing
ladies with lots to offer personality-
and talent-wise in addition to pretty,
tattooed ta-tas and studded tongues. One
can only hope that as SuicideGirls.com
grows and moves up in the world of online
alt-porn, these girls are honored, appreciated
and well compensated. After all, it is
their firm flesh the site is built upon.
As for the guy in charge, I never met
him, but he sounded short. I may never
know the truth about what went down, but
until I do, I'm telling everybody that
SuicideGirls (or Guy) pitched a huge hissyfit
and subsequently stomped huffily down
to Southern California because I wouldn't
let them get a picture of my B-cup boobies.
I mean... they are very nice.
