VIVE LE LITHIUM PICNIC!
I've had a few people ask me what the LP vs SG thing is all about.
So I figured I'd avoid doing homework and make a little post about it.
If anyone disagrees with my info or has more to add - feel free to comment!
This is Philip Warner aka "Lithium Picnic"
He is an amazing photographer
He use to be a photographer for Suicide Girls, but is now being sued by them for $100,000 for a supposed breach in contract, by shooting Apena (former suicide girl seen in the 1st and 6th picture) for her personal website.
They are claiming he owns this website, and that he breached the contract by shooting with her, even though his contract stated that he could shoot for single girl personality based sites.
However - this website is a paid membership site, and Apena is the only girl in each photo, so it is a single girl personality site.
He is also not the owner, or has ever been the owner of the website.
Suicide Girls has been involved in massive amounts of scandals and corruption.
From treating the models unfair and censoring them, to suing anyone or anything that gets in the way of their sick monopoly.

I Support Lithium Picnic
T-shirts, prints and other things are being sold/auctioned off
on the lj-community and http://www.apneaticmedia.com/
to help pay for his legal funds and support him in the battle against Suicide Girls.
If not, all I can do is urge you to stop using/supporting Suicide Girls if you do, and letting others know.
