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.

Bling overload!

Thanks to Gus for sending in this picture from the 2006 South Florida BBQ.

    Do any jewelry companies make plugs out of solid CZ? It’d be so very spiffy to have a 1.5″ plug that was a single, solid, faceted CZ. That would be bling-OD!

    I’ve got some Solid CZ plugs, they’re not that sparkly, I think it’s the steel that totally makes them that shiny.

    I wish the medusa bling was bigger, that’d be hot. So small, looks out of place.
