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!

There are about a million reasons I should not like Mickey Avalon. He is perpetually shirtless, he wears more eyeliner than I do, and he has a single called ““My Dick.”” Oh yeah, and he used to have sex with dudes for money. In spite of the undeniable sleaze-factor, I can’t get his songs out of my head and, well, I rather like him. The embodiment of a rags-to-riches hip-hop fairytale, Avalon has managed to garner the attention of the music press, a bunch of young fans looking to get down and of course, a crapload of teenage girls. In between sound checks and after-parties, I got him on the phone shortly before his Lollapalooza gig.

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.

Last week we posted a typical strip from Young Love, entitled “How To Increase Your Dateability,” which offered 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 chances of finding a mate. This week, we have a simple 12 question personality test from issue #2 of Boy Meets Girl (originally published in April 1950), which will tell you if you’re likely to be a bride or – horror of horrors – an old maid.

MC Frontalot first coined the phrase “nerdcore hip-hop” in the late ‘’90s to describe tracks laid down over homemade beats, featuring lyrics about everything from Star Wars to Nigerian e-mail scams. This year, he’s been on tour with a full band in support of his second full-length album, Secrets from the Future. While on the road, he was the subject of a documentary film, also entitled Nerdcore Rising.

SG had the chance to talk with MC Frontalot about the life of a professional rapper and the growing buzz around nerdcore hip-hop.
