A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.
[Noir in Laziest Days]
This week, Noir Suicide gives us the drill on one of our most disciplined groups, SG Military.
Members: 852 / Comments: 11,919
- WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: This group is a fountain of invaluable information for anyone looking to join the military and a great community for those who already have. Within hours of starting a thread asking for advice, I have half dozen replies in the thread and another half dozen private messages. It’s very active and supportive.
- DISCUSSION TIP: Do not discuss anything that would jeopardize operations.
- BEST RANDOM QUOTE: The entire thread about Ranger Panties. To sum it up: “The more elite the unit, the shorter the running shorts.”
- MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: There are a couple of threads about gender discrimination and sexual harassment that have a lot of varying opinions, but even when members disagree, they’re still pretty civil.
- WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Future, former, and current members of the armed forces, and those who support them.

PlayStation fans around the globe continue to QQ over the extended absence of the PlayStation Network. While original reports stated the network would return this last week, they all proved to be filthy lies. Recent statements made by a spokesperson from the company suggest it might not return till the end month. Luckily for all the PlayStation fanboys and girls, this last week was packed with plenty of nerdy happenings to distract them from their enforced gaming sobriety.

“Its a different life with great adventures. I wouldnt trade it for anything.”
– Jenn Alva, Girl in a Coma
I find the band Girl in a Coma fascinating for several reasons: First – lead singer/guitarist Nina Diaz has a voice thats so powerful and seasoned, sometimes its easy to forget shes only 19-years-old. Second – bassist Jenn Alva is an out and proud lesbian. And third – Phanie Diaz has a name that reads like fanny but sounds like fawn-ie. To say the ladies are charming is an understatement – they have beauty, brains and all the gumption one would expect from a sassy Texas trio. Still, its their music – loud and clear alternative rock that has been compared to The Smiths, The Pixies, and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs – that takes center stage.

Aisline Suicide in Strawberries and Cream
- INTO: Girls, movies, night time, awkwardness, saying inappropriate things, the beach, sunsets and sunrises, dancing, dancing around in my underwear, laughing at my own jokes, being the only one laughing at my own jokes, boobs, ruining everything I try to cook and making people pretend they enjoyed eating it, heavily tattooed girls and boys.
- NOT INTO: Big crowds, people I don’t know touching me, mirrors, drugs, being cold.
- MAKES ME HAPPY: Warm weather, music, driving around aimlessly, late nights, early mornings.
- MAKES ME SAD: People with no morals, people with no common sense, people who can’t act in public, disrespect, greed, poverty and John Mayer.
- 5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: IPod, Blackberry, laptop, a steady internet connection, and my family/cats.
- VICES: Sour candies.
- I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Trying to take over the world.

A Texas high school cheerleader has lost her appeal on a lawsuit against her former school that went all the way to the Supreme Court. The legal action stemmed from the school district’s reaction to her rape, which was perpetrated by Rakheem Bolton, a star basketball player from her school, at a party she attended in 2008, when she was 16.

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.
