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.

I’ll tell you something that can be trusted about me, and it won’t even be painful (this photo just reminded me). My favorite thing about drag performers is giant fake eyelashes. I just can’t get enough of them. Anyway…

    I have to agree about those eyelashes…and also drag performers are just generally hot, they put so much more effort into it than most people.

    It’s a BMEgirls entry, so I’m assuming the eyelashes just reminded him of a man in drag. She’s really hot.

    #5 – The eyelashes which I assume are fake just reminded me how much I like big eyelashes. And I also thought it was a good picture of course.
