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.

Now THAT’S gratuitous, Shannon.

Thanks to Off for helping keep things in Austin Powers territory. If you’re wondering about the motivator, it’s frosting. If you’re wondering about the strange perspective, it’s a loft bed. They’re not in a strange custom made box.

    Having had a loft bed in my previous house, I know they are a lot of fun but I never included frosting. I’ll know for next time.

    These girls look great. I’d love to see more of her sleeve though.

    “Pfft, that wasn’t rude. I was stating my opinion. I don’t have to agree with everyone else. ”

    It’s rude because these are real girls, who will likely see your comments. if you didn;t like it, you could have simply moved on.

    Yes, that’s the best way to deal with life. Don’t say anything unless it’s what someone wants to hear *rolls eyes*

    It’s true, in the real world people will be assholes. But in the real world, those people find themselves without real friends, so they get left behind to insult people on the Internet 😉

    Saying you thought “it was a guy” either makes you stupid or needlessly rude.

    ^^ Thank you.

    What it comes down to is that you have every right to your opinion, but saying something like that serves absolutly no purpose but to potentially hurt someone. What’s the point?

    I’m the girl on the left by the way, but Off has also seen the comments.

    OK, I swore I was straight… never mind. Nobody who looks like that has ever licked food off me :’(
    I’m sure Sah has seen the naked bodies of *many* real females and not just the ones in Playboy. /sarcasm.
    If he had done he would know that someone that gorgeously slim (jealousy) would not have naturally huge boobs.

    As a gay man, I only have three comments:

    1. That’s some nice tattoo work on the right. The color composition is unusual, but very effective.

    2. OMG, is that handstitching on the bra? It’s gorgeous!

    3. The room is rather bland. Have these ladies never heard of Pottery Barn?
