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.

The miracle of dermablend

Personally I prefer Bronte without the makeup (and thus with her happy facial tattoos), but sometimes you have to go out and do things in disguise to use the invisible but still very real “whites” door instead of the “colored” door. Oh, and as a point of amusement, these are pictures she sent her dad in response to the “how are you going to get a job?” question.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. And thank you, Shannon, for including me once again on the Mod Blog.

    Unfortunately it is hard to get the color just perfect with my skin tone and in pictures you will notice where the makeup ends with my neck.

    However, my classmates commented they did not notice this in person. Perhaps the flash of the camera exaggerated this?

    Regardless, it’s always nice to wash the makeup off at the end of the day. 🙂
