Lithium Picnic Goes Down

Fans of legal maneuvering, non-compete clauses, and hot naked tattooed babes have probably been following the tale of Lithium Picnic photographer Philip Warner and his battle against his former employer, SuicideGirls. The rest of you might still be interested in an update, since it has come to our attention that Warner recently shuttered the LP site as a result of all the litigation.

Yes, we know it's more than a mouthful, but sometimes helping out a worthy cause requires supporting the arts in ways others may find difficult to, ahem, swallow. (Hurry, though, if you're interested—the auction ends on April 20.)-V. Blue More »
