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.

Dreads, Lips, and More

Thanks to the gorgeous Manu for this self-portrait from Moscow, Russia (is everyone east of Amsterdam significantly more likely to have good bone structure?).

    I love her hair.. those dreads are so long and so colorfull!! I’m pretty sure that must not be her real hair.. but still.. it suits her so well. Its like that kind thing where when you see it for the first time, its like you were born with it.. it looks so natural on, its great!!

    Her face reminds me of an actress.. and just can’t figure out who.. some celebrity anyways.

    She has hair falls, and quite sexy ones aswell.
    I am in love with all of her piercings and she has the most pure features.
    I would like to get a clearer view of the tattoo on her back.
