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.

Gnats Never Bite Your Nose

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


So apparently, old Mother Nature doesn’t give a good goddamn that today is the holiest of holies, opening day, and has decided to blanket much of North America in hated snow and sleet and rain, just to be a bitch. Well, luckily, her awful bitterness hasn’t extended to Glasgow Poitiers, France, where the lovely Possessed is just hangin’ out in the sun, pickin’ daisies and stickin’ them through her septum piercing, as one is wont to do on such a summery day. Must be nice.
