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.

It’s a girl!

Written by

Rob

For those that don’t remember, Arwen “Spliff” Rosa, Jill, and two other members of the community were injured in a car accident last July.

When we last checked in with Arwen and Jill, the family, with the help of ModBlog readers everywhere was able to get Arwen moved from the hospital in Texas, to a treatment facility in NYC.

During this whole ordeal, Jill was pregnant and as you’ve probably already guessed by now, she had the baby yesterday.  So without further ado, I’m happy to introduce to you the newest member of the community, Odessa Marie Rosa (5lb 6oz).

I didn’t get an update on Spliff’s condition, but from what I understand mom and baby are doing just fine.
