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.

What happens in Niagara Falls, stays in Niagara Falls. Unless of course it ends up on ModBlog. Thanks to PoisonousPennington for the shots. Oh, and as a point of trivia, Phil wanted me to point out that’s his (former) first-generation (and very, very, very rare) Team BME hockey jersey.

    I’m more interested in the shirt to the left than anything else…atleast he looks like he doesn’t mind his busted up head.
