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.

    Love the second one from the left; it’s a classic D&D illustration (from Dragon Magazine, used early on in their history, and since become iconic), and it’s done so well, I won’t make a natural-20 joke. 😉

    So? Muscular women are very sexy. 🙂

    But I do notice many guys seem to take issue with muscles on women… I don’t get it at all. Why be threatened by someone else’s strength?

    Masculinity is odd. I’m glad I don’t have any to worry about. 🙂
