Kayden420 is recruiting a lot of SuicideGirls to pose for us since SG only takes a few sets a year from a girl, if that. But recruiting the girls who think it's art is difficult to do for a pornsite.

This.
SG is an incredibly strong brand and a community, not just an adult site. You can't just buy that - at least, not at a reasonable cost.
The only way to do it now would be to go for numbers first. Start a credible online music/geek mag with several good writers, get lots of interviews with underground bands and such, and basically build up the site to become a mainstay of a bunch of subcultures. Add freely accessible artsy nude picture sets as well as band picture sets, and do everything you can to build up a reader base.
If you get lucky, you might be able to switch to a membership model a few years from now. But before that - no dice.
Oh, and you'll probably have to target a slightly different subculture.
