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.

Starry Skull

Thanks to Erenee for sending in this picture of thirty-three stars on her head, applied by Adam at River City in Killeen, Texas over two hours… I hope she keeps her head shaved after it’s all healed up, because I think it looks amazing like this!

    She looks like you did when you were bald, Shannon.

    Are you saying that this is just some transferance-type narcissism?

    Man, that’s amazing! I love it! And she’s lucky to have a head that looks good bald. Some people shouldn’t do the bald thing, and you never know how it’ll look until it may be too late.

    This woman should never let her hair grow back.

    outmywindow – funny you say that, a lot of people are scared to shave their head in case they have a funny-shaped skull, but I have yet to see one for myself… I just like shaved heads, I guess.
