Obscenity. Smut. The bastard spawn of the deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

This entry is devoted to all the sexy fat girls out there, who so rarely show up in smut except as jokes or freakshow elements. Thanks to an online friend of mine, I recently discovered Voodoo Dollhouse, an alterna-porn site showcasing goth/industrial/punk girls in the plus sizes. Because Voodoo Dollhouse is still entirely free, there's nothing too hardcore or explicit. In short, lots of tits, no pussy. That's not a fatal loss, though, because the pictures have personality and sensuality that easily puts them in the top echelons of internet smut. The one thing that kind of pisses me off about the site is that every single picture opens up a new window, so every time you want to look at a new shot you have to open a window, close it, and go back to the thumbnails for the next one. It's highly inconvenient, and it really isn't that tough to make a slideshow.

The whole alterna-chick thing really got kicked off by Suicide Girls, and although I really do like SG, I'm also kinda bugged by how obviously the models have a Look every bit as much as the models in Playboy or Penthouse do. Despite selling itself as an authentic alternative to the mainstream, Suicide Girls is pretty much locked into a particular aesthetic. The iconic Suicide Girl is not only slim, but petite, with small to medium breasts. She's based somewhat on 1920s glamor queens like Clara Bow, Theda Bara, and Louise Brooks, with a few tattoos and piercings thrown in. The Suicide Girls are a little bit cleaner than Brooks and her contemporaries, though. They're cute in a very old-fashioned way. While some of them may appropriate elements of Clara Bow, even though they're baring their twats on the WWW, no one would seriously believe that any one of them had fucked an entire football team, as the "It girl" was infamously rumoured to have done. After a while, there's nothing very different about them, and that's especially true of their bodies. After flipping through enough pictures, you start to feel the limitations of the site's vision very keenly.

Voodoo Dollhouse gives a real alternative, not just a fashion statement. The women are soft and curvy, and zaftig in the truest sense of the word, but they also have a hardness that I don't find in the Suicide Girls, or in most of the other alterna-chick sites. The women here look like they might actually listen to punk rock, not just dress it. The site is much rougher in form than Suicide Girls, but it's going interesting places.
