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.

Male Models

Sorry — you know Mondays are a slow day for me… So I’ve just posted a few entries, and it’s better than nothing, right? Let me introduce you to Caracas, Venezuela’s Franklin Segovia (I think… unless I’ve read the email wrong and then that’s the tattoo artist). Click again for a face closeup.

    Posted on 03-28-2006 14:53:12 by outmywindow
    He is attractive in the sculptural type way, but when it comes to men I want to, well, “lick” as someone put it, I’d want a guy who could beat this guy up…

    That said, it’s nice to see a professional photoshoot imag (or so it seems) of someone who is heavily modded.

    Posted on 03-28-2006 15:21:23 by tara
    no way, spunj, that look is TOTALLY le tigre! j/k

    Posted on 03-28-2006 15:33:23 by Lauren

    Posted on 03-28-2006 16:03:42 by I can\’t stand no socks.

    Posted on 03-28-2006 19:41:50 by glider
    Sade, I’m working on putting together a feature (either for here or BME, or for print) on tattoos in the professional armwrestling scene…. Those guys are HUGE!

    Posted on 03-28-2006 21:53:40 by Alyssa Jane

    Posted on 03-29-2006 01:08:43 by Tracy
    I just like the idea that he is a model and moded. I think its great.

    Posted on 03-29-2006 19:55:47 by squid
    eeee he looks too much like a girl
    and I really just can’t take that expression seriously…

    Posted on 03-30-2006 00:45:27 by shanonym0us
    I’m a sucker for this guy in every way, latin, modified, and emo hair. I don’t care…I’m totally into it. haha.

    i hate macho men, they make my brain hurt. i’d take sensitive over macho any day.

    Posted on 03-30-2006 12:57:23 by penski
    It’s possible to be sensitive without being an angular zoolander type…

    😉

    Posted on 03-30-2006 13:38:52 by silver
    I think he’s gorgeous. And like dream3r, I hate macho men. I like gentle, kind-hearted men.

    Posted on 03-30-2006 16:33:36 by luw
    You can be gentle & kind-hearted whilst wearing socks and without doing a ben stiller impression.

    Posted on 04-01-2006 07:28:32 by jokelly
    oh i most certainly would – with eyes like that we can surely forgive the emo hair, terrible shoes, zoolander look-left and borderline femme features. You would!
