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!

    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.

    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.
