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.

Wow, those eyes…

Pankusha says she’s my votaress. That means she has a bigger vocabulary than I do (probably in quite a few languages). But I went and looked it up, and with those ice-blue eyes, I’m pretty sure it would be easy to reverse the spell.

    Yeah, Salinger, that’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it… the photo at full size is even more striking.

    My daughter has the same kind of eyes, and she’s German-Irish (and a decendent of Jesse James http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_James ). The dark rings around her blue eyes are even darker than this girls.

    The “scarf” isn’t palestinian, but Islamic, actually. And it isn’t actually a prayer shawl, but a traditional head wear for middle eastern muslim men. As an Israeli I see quite a lot of those on, mostly older and more traditional muslims around me.
    The idea is the same with jewish religious people wearing those “cowboy hats” all the time…

    Anyway, beutiful girl… definitely…

    i’m french and that’s absolutely not french, even if a lot of people got it…even me. And it’s not islamic, it’s palestinian and, at the begining (cause now it’s a trend, it’s “à la mode”) people wear it to show their supporting the pain of palestinian people that we were deprived of their land. BUT it is not at all against israelians.
