It's so perfect some nights to hear them in the dark. They sniff and choke and tell me what I ask for in every little detail. Curled in a ball alone in bed for days, they call me. Crying with their hair wet down in the rain at a public telephone, they call me to the rescue. It's the same with these suicide girls calling me up. According to Missy, the term "Suicide Girl" comes from Chuck Palahniuk's novel Survivor (1999), in which a character talks about masturbating to the troubles of young girls who look up to him: Mooney has said that the site's purpose is to give women control over how their sexuality is depicted. That same year, 70 models from the website appeared in a music video for the band Probot. SuicideGirls was originally based in Portland, but relocated to Los Angeles, California in 2003 to be closer to its distributor, label and publisher. Mooney's friend Sean Suhl joined her and the two founded the website. Inspired by Bunny Yeager, Mooney began photographing her friends in the pinup style and wanted to create a website that featured her photographs as well as message boards and blog posts from the models. In 2001, Mooney returned to Portland, Oregon to study photography after working as director of technology at Ticketmaster.
