Suicide Girls @ NYT

Vanessa Grigoriadis stops by a Suicide Girls party, calls its models "occasionally overweight" (at least by NYT Style section standards), and finds out it's not much different from the dozens of other hipster parties going on in Brooklyn at the same time: "As house music blared and 'Reservoir Dogs' played mutely on the television, Ms. Barnwell passed by with a strap in her hand. 'It's my favorite thing to beat people,' she said." (Wait, Suicide Girls listen to house music?)
