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.

God Bless My Tenting Shorts

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Er, I didn’t really write that title, did I?

At least I don’t have to be embarassed in front of the models, because the photo was submitted by my photographer friend IAM:trexchomp (aka Rahim.net Photography). You may also remember his photography from the much-linked “I can see her spine” entry on Christmas Eve.

    I will never understand how women with long hair can wear those bracelet sized hoop earrings and not get it all tangled up.

    Phil, note the belly button ring, and it may be a white tattoo, but more than likely just her natural skin color from a sticker she wore while tanning just about her waist on the left side. But two seriously nice pics of a beautiful girl

    Since when do we discriminate based on mods? Haha. :p The human form is lovely, and that particular model is beautiful.

    It may look off center because she’s not standing up straight.
