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.

DTM knows me well

“I tattooed a set of flowers on a girl’s belly that I think you need to see,” he tells me. Is it any wonder with me writing entries like this that I’ve had no offers since my break-up? Ha. Stay away, sexually deprived dudes on the rebound are bad news. Oh, and click here for a tattoo closeup.

    I’m pretty sure you’ve had no offers because there’s no tactful way to say, “Hey, you just got your heart broken, wanna fuck?”

    Jets- Beautifully put!

    And I don’t believe you’ve had no offers at all…come on now Shannon, what about the flurry of mail from prospective friends-with-benefits you reportedly got after posting about it in your blog?

    I am sure there are lots of women reading who would be interested, but you are not exactly open to every type of woman, so maybe they all just happen to be outside your “ideal” and thus do not mention it.

    Hey, I’d hit it.

    I must say that she did a delightful job of making her undergarments match the colors of the tattoo. Beautifully done.

    i wonder how it would look after she had a kid.

    and shannon, quit attention whoring. i really doubt you’ve had no offers considering your standing in the mod community.

    Not everyone plans to get pregnant, Dreamer.

    Also, be nicer to Shannon, he provides you with BME for free, dammit. He can do what he wants.

    Pretty tattoo.

    Dreamer, I have honestly had no offers! They all go to Phil (seriously)!

    Posted on 04-18-2006 00:30:51 by glider
    …but I should add that I’m really not looking to hook up or date anyone right now, and I think most people know that I’m just kidding with these comments.

    Sarah, assumptions like that bug me, too, but he did say “would look,” not “will look after she has a kid.”

    Posted on 04-18-2006 22:32:47 by dream3r
    I know not everyone plans to get pregnant, but a lot of pregnancies are not planned. I wasn’t being bitchy with that comment, I was serious.

    As for being nicer to Shannon, I doubt the man cried in a corner after reading what I wrote; he’s a big boy. And if you’d take a two second glance at my page you’d know I’m sarcastic (and a girl, eeer).

    Am I the only one who doesn’t get the brown line underneath the tattoo?
