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.

Ascension and Some Girl?

I operate in a different world with different celebrities, so here’s a spy shot of ritual superstars IAM:stainless and IAM:_Stigmata_… I’m told that’s Claire Danes in the middle, but honestly, if I was told it was Lindsay Lohan, I’d be just as likely to believe it. Seriously though, thanks to IAM:Ascenhookfreak for the photo, and be sure to go see The Flock when it comes out.

    It is claire danes, but I dunno if she’s actually in that picture. I spoke with her in person just a few months ago, and she looks a lot older, and thinner than she does in that picture.

    The picture is real as far as I know. I haven’t posted the original to BME yet, but watch for the full size unedited version in the ASCENSION gallery on BME (in the suspension groups section).

    The movie (The Flock) is/was being shot here in Albuquerque, NM. Several of the Ascension Suspension members were recruited for an S&M club scene in the movie, which is what that picture is from. Richard Gere was also disappointed he didn’t get to the set on time to be able to see the scene filmed.

    That would make her even more awesome.

    hahaha I promise the pic is real and that its really her with us. Between takes she came up and asked Steve and myself if she could get a couple pictures of her with us while we were hanging. Its also true that richard gere was disappointed that he showed up too late and didnt get to take pics with us either. 🙁
