Suicidegirls: Beauty Redefined - book discontinued by AMMO - review by RubyBlue

I got this book after stumbling across it at my local bookstore. I was familiar with Suicide Girls before, but was instantly drawn to this artistic compilation. Not only is this book not your usual porn novel, it's actually something you could almost have as a coffee table book. The pictures are sexy and provocative, sure, but they're also incredibly beautiful and gorgeous without being sleazy or trashy.

Each page features a picture of a girl. The book is sorted by location, so you can browse girls from different parts of America and even different countries across the globe. The girls are all "real" and that's what really makes this book stand out. You aren't picking up a glamor magazine off the news stand and reading about fake, plastic women. Instead, you're seeing real girls with freckles, moles, tattoos, and even scars.

I loved how different each girl is. I really felt like this book was a celebration of beauty. Most of the girls are, of course, fairly thin, but they all have imperfections and things that make them different. There are several chubbier girls in this book, too, so you can see a wider range of "normal" than you otherwise would in a sexual book. Also, this book is entirely pictures of women, so if guys are your forte, this one might not be for you.

This book is absolutely enormous, so you certainly get your money's worth. It's very heavy and a durable hard cover, so I'm sure it will last many, many years. It's not small enough that you can travel with it or bring it places in your bag, so I'd suggest leaving it in your bedroom or, if you have an adults-only home, on your coffee table. (It's still not something you'd want kids to see, even though the pictures are very classy.)

I loved reading this to get me in the mood, but it's also nice to read just to see different hairstyles, clothing choices, and tats!
