Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: Last year I was sexually assaulted on a date. I really want to start dating again but I’m so scared that it is going to happen again. This fear has kept me from dating, yet alone spending any alone time the opposite sex. And to make this whole thing worse, I was never sexually active before I was assaulted and now I just don’t know what to do. I would some advice, thanks.

Hi, my name is Bob Suicide and I’m a shy gamer.

Generally, there isn’t a lot of stigma being a shy, quiet geek. After all, as a group, us nerds aren’t known for being boisterous. We play our games, download/stream our shows, and read our comics all from the safety of our solitary couches. However, with the recent surge in mainstream desire for geek culture, we’ve been thrust off of our couches and into the social scene.

You know you’re a hardcore gamer when you can watch someone else play a game with the same satisfaction you would received if you played it yourself. I’ve “played” many a game sitting next to the controller as the go-to strat guide girl or the rapt spectator rooting my friends on. Generally, my shy nature doesn’t preclude me from enjoying the ridiculous level of gaming that I expect from my daily life. But sometimes you just have to be the one pressing the buttons to get the full joy from the experience; sometimes, you can feel a little left out sitting on the sidelines…and it’s then that I lament my epic shyness.

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

This week, Cheri Suicide gives us the lowdown on the freewheeling Skateboarders Group.

Members: 723 / Comments: 5,161

• WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: So many rad people. It makes me especially excited to meet other girls that get just as stoked about skateboarding as me. We discuss brands, styles, and skaters we’re all into. Skateboarding helps keep me entertained in my small town, and I’ve made lots of friends through it. Skate4Cancer really inspires me, along with the local MHSA. A group of skaters can go a long way and make big changes in this world.
• DISCUSSION TIP: Everyone likes different brands and styles, so don’t be a hater, be cool.
• BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “Chea Boii” and “Primo.”
• MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: I wouldn’t say heated, but it seems like everyone is stoked on the topic “Longboarding” which is cool cause its almost summer time, and I know what I’ll be doing a lot of! Go green, longboard your butt to the store instead of driving! :]
• WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Anyone who skateboards or is interested in maybe taking this wicked hobbie up!

Agonizing Love is a beautifully put together compendium of strips culled from the lost genre of romance comics. According to the volume’s curator and author, Michael Barson, an avid fan of retro-pop culture and a collector of all manner of flotsam and jetsam from days past, the first examples of the form were published in 1947. At the genre’s height, there were close to 150 different romance comics in print, with titles such as Lovelorn, Romantic Marriage, Lovers’ Lane, Bride’s Secrets, Boy Meets Girl, Heart Throbs, and Love Confessions. However, as the romance of the 1950s gave way to the pervasive climate of free love in the ’60s and ’70s, their popularity waned. The end of an era came with the final 126th edition of Young Love in 1977.

Below is a typical strip from Vol 2, #2 of Young Love (originally published in April 1950), which offers female readers – who were ever fearful of being left on the shelf – tips on how to up their popularity quotient in order to increase their dateability.

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, vintage style icon Dita Von Teese has put her own twist on the world’s favorite Mexican cocktail. As a spokesperson for Cointreau, the drink naturally includes the orange liqueur (Cointreau is a triple sec produced in Angers, France). But there’s also some more unlikely ingredients which give it a kick and a contrasting demure floral note.
