BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    ……no, my point is that corsets are becoming the new kanji or butterfly…..they just all look the same (yes, obviously I’ve seen a few impressive corsets, just like I’ve seen a few impressive kanji tattoos)….
