-- The difference between naked shots and porn is spreading your legs," Molly Crabapple tells me. We're sitting in Clem's, a Williamsburg honky-tonk, along with two Press editors and a friend of Molly's who's a former freak-show girl. "Molls and newsmen—very noir," Molly says, and takes a sip of her ice water.
Molly is 22 and striking, olive-skinned with an aquiline nose and breasts with the curve and heft that everyone wants either to have or to hold. She's articulate and educated, if a bit too knowing. She's there to talk with me about SuicideGirls.com, the softcore sex site that's gone mainstream by purporting to offer naked young alt-girls in a female-friendly online community.
Until recently Molly was a Suicide Girl, having posed nude for the site twice, once alone and once in tandem with another girl. She was paid the usual rate of $300 for each shoot and didn't spread her legs on either occasion. She's well-spoken, but her complaint is much the same as those of most every other girl I've spoken with: "SuicideGirls is the Wal-Mart of alt-porn." She's said the same at her page on the site, but you won't find the comment there; it's been purged, along with just about every other critical comment any Suicide Girl has made has made about SuicideGirls.
The bloom, it seems, is off the rose. --
