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.

Tina at the Beach

Earlier this month I showed you Tina‘s new Romeo and Juliet sleeve, so I couldn’t resist sharing these great beach shots of her by AnGeLinPayN on Australia’s Gold Coast (Brisbane).

    haha, i cant believe how far this comment forum went!
    We tried to make the pictures a lot about the mods as well as the sexiness….nothing wrong with a sexy modded body. fair enough, she has no cuttings, brandings, major tattoo work or 20 piercings….but who cares, really? she’s modded, she’s sexy, and she can pose!

    One of my best sets by far. Thanks Tina for being a great model, and let’s hope we see you on modblog again in the near future!

    Oh, and I think that if Tina has become a BMEgirl, then she has a right to be on modblog how ever many times Shannon sees fit!

    the second pic reminds me of a blow-up doll…
    lol
    but i love the pics

    how about ignoring the whole “omgz!: she was posted on modblog already and she has very few tats/scars/piercings/etc” and viewing the pics for what they are: beautiful.

    I may be way off-base here, but in Basil’s defense, I kind of think Tina looks a little bit like another girl that Shannon’s in love with who has been featured a few times before and is currently featured on the modblog banner (not that I’m criticizing, just observing.) Maybe? I don’t know.

    Anyway, society’s conventions of beauty still apply to modded people. Right or wrong, and I think most people will say that this is right, people prefer to look at young, thin, pretty doe-eyed girls with perky breasts. Not everyone can look good in a bikini, with or without mods, so more power to her! Maybe it’s not fair to judge, but submitting pictures like that, it’s fair to assume people will judge her looks before her mods.

    People can call for modded women of all shapes and sizes to submit pics to make it sound like it’s an equal opportunity thing but really, every woman knows she will be judged on her looks and body first, then her mods. No matter what the mods are, not all of us make good pin-up material and that’s ok. If you know you don’t fit the standard ideals of beauty, you have to be really brave to hold yourself up to ridicule and rejection in a community that’s supposedly based on open-mindedness. Even for a girl to just submit something, if she’s not selected, that tells her a) you’re not hot enough and b) you’re not even all that interesting. Ouch. And if she does make it, then she faces the criticism, good or bad, of the masses. Back in the old days, most modded people faced ridicule and rejection; there’s the hypocrisy. I’m not saying people shouldn’t appreciate beauty or that they shouldn’t uphold certain standards. All I’m saying is that if it’s basically just Modblog “Hot or Not” that’s not the only type of validation modded women need. Some women might not want to submit pictures if seems like a highly judgmental or sometimes even hostile environment.

    Sorry if that sounds kind of bitchy, I don’t mean any offense to anyone, it’s more or less tongue-in-cheek observations.

    Umm… You’re suggesting I’m in love with Syndel? As I’ve said before the way modblog works is a two part screening process. First, Phil puts aside a small percentage of the images he processes for me, and then from those I grab a small percentage again.

    Now, if you think there are people who I or Phil am unfairly skipping over, by all means, email me the URL to their image on BME and I’ll personally go and look and if I agree, your suggestion will become a post.

    Sheesh, I’ve posted Pauly a few times too and he’s in the banner as well, maybe I’m in love with him as well.

    I think he meant the girl on the right, and I also think that he was siding with you but explaining to the masses, so kinda hostile response Shannon. :\

    Nice thoughts you contributed Basil. I agree, on the whole.

    Yikes, I’m sorry. Umm… I was actually kind of refering to the girl in the red dress. Isn’t that “ennui zero”? Sorry if it’s unfair to observe you possibly have a crush on her. I don’t know why I would think that.

    I’m not saying she shouldn’t be featured, I think she’s a lovely girl. I’m not saying anything bad about the any of the girls who are featured. Everybody likes to look at pretty girls. I’m not saying it’s bad that for guys to like young pretty girls, that is nature. I don’t have a problem with modblog. All I was suggesting was that it’s seems kind of phony for guys to call for “plus-size” modded women to submit stuff when the majority of people only want is to look at is sexy pin-up girls. If modded girls are judged and validated solely for their sex appeal, what’s it going to be like if they get old and fat? All I mean to say is, maybe that is a possible reason for alienating some women.

    I admit I could be completely wrong here.

    And sorry again for any offense. Like I said, I’m just making observations.

    Hi, This is I tina..

    These photo’s came about as helping a friend out to increase her photography portfolio, I had never modeled before this.

    I’m really proud of how these photos came out.. I havn’t always looked like this, I had major problems while I was pregnant and gained half my body weight in fluid whilst my bubba was only 5 pound.

    In every photo above u can clearly see that I have Tattoo’s and Piercings and if you can look closer you can also see 9months solid of scarification work!

    Everyone has a right to there opinion and they will voice it, fair enough.

    Like Shannon said, if you know of people more suited for Modblog then by all means tell them to send some photos in!!

    The End.

    I used to l live in an apartment where EVERY MEMBER OF THE HOUSEHOLD had been on modblog more than once. One of them makes regular appearances.

    So Shannon, I’d like to thank you for being in love with everyone I know on the east coast.

    Tina, you look great and right on for getting back to that after childbirth.

    glenner, I think both Syndel and Ennui Zero are attractive and more importantly post great photos that I believe other people will enjoy. That’s why they’ve been featured here a couple of times (same with a few other individuals and artists/groups).

    As I said before, I try and make ModBlog a mix of fun, titillating, and fascinating, with something for everyone… I hope I’m doing an OK job coming close to that goal.
