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.

Let’s see… Other than that, I’m thinking about breaking ModBlog in half, so it’s ModBlog and ModBlogX or something… Basically the goal is to split the site so that I can put the hardcore photos (BME/HARD type stuff and other explicit pictures) all on one blog, which would allow me to put non-porn ads on this site so it can start paying for itself!

    Splitting sounds like a good idea, but would you start charging for that section or keep it free?
