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.

Hahaha, I thought her fingers were a nipple when I first glanced at the picture. Oh, wishful thinking from a sideboob lover I suppose. New school tattoo by the very talented Jay Marceau at D-Markation in Quebec City, Canada.

Anyway… Enjoy today’s update, and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to check out the recent additions to BME/News:

I think for “BME 2007″ (our 13th year!) I’m going to integrate ModBlog, QOD, BMEnews, and so on all into a single content system… There are so many different sections on BME that should be combined I think (not easy when you have to convert a massive 1995-style CMS!).

    I second comment #3. It just wouldn’t be the same. I have a routine every day for checking everything to see it’s been updated.
