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.

Oh, the irony…

    I would say that this is sarcasm, not irony. How old is this girl; 14 maybe? Some people need to cheer up, and probably grow up.

    how do you all know that this is an example of bad grammar? perhaps the ‘is’ is over on the corner of the paper that is not in the picture, its there but cut off. how can you speak of what you do not know?

    either way the girl is beautiful

    this is the gayest thing i ever seen.

    she is talking about signs being fucking gay, yet she is holding one, i don’t care if she is trying to make a point or not, if it’s so fucking gay, than don’t do it.. period.

    chest pieces are fucking gay.

    Your ideas of hot must be pretty low. I’m bisexual so I check out both genders and she’s not that good looking, not even close.
