Suicide Girls – Mill City Nights – Minneapolis MN – October 8th 2015

The now well known Suicide Girls take over Mill City Nights on a cool Minneapolis evening, bringing their Blackheart Burlesque tour around the Midwest.

The Suicide Girls were established in 2001. To be realistic, it was a good way to see hot punk girls naked. It was a softcore porn site with tattooed, pierced, alternative women. Now, it has become so much more. The site (not too mention its books, tours, and more) has become an outlet for women to express their sexuality in a way that is completely their own. They don’t do it for anyone else. From a female perspective, as well as from someone who is on the site, it has a very freeing feel to it. Not only is it sexually freeing, but also there are no beauty restraints.

So the fact that they are on tour and bringing the girls from city to city simply increases the frenzy of followers. The shows are interesting, to say the least. The girls perform a series of burlesque acts based on numerous themes, ranging heavily. The tour has been happening for years and each year, there seem to be new additions, as well as the more classic ones. Some of the themes this year included “A Clockwork Orange”, “Game of Thrones” and “Star Wars”, to name only a few.

The thing about these tours is that they are really a social media mecca. It’s the only downside, in my opinion. It would be amazing if you could go to these shows and see a really great burlesque show, but the audience is heavily encouraged to Instagram photos all night long, which essentially is the best form of free advertising ever. That’s a little aggravating. It seems a majority of their show has now turned into an advertisement rather than entertainment. It’s not like every form of entertainment on Earth doesn’t do that to an extent, but I feel it could just be toned down a bit.

Let us enjoy more of the show. Don’t encourage us to put our phones in the air every five minutes. There are beautiful women on the stage who actually put some time and effort into the show they are putting on. Suicide Girls are not unknown. There is no reason for there to be a constant stream of people tweeting and Instagraming every second of the show. Let us sit back, have a drink or two, and enjoy the show.
