BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Lucky Thursday

Written by

Shannon Larratt

OK… I like Thursdays, and I really like pretty girls with mods of all kinds. So that’s my plan here for today. If you don’t like it, Steve will smash a flourescent tube on you (and can I just say, wow, whoever’s on the camera — that’s some awesome trigger finger timing). Oh, and don’t worry overly hetero girls and overly homo guys… I will do a “Lucky BMEboy Day” soon as well.

Oh yeah, and it’s Phil‘s birthday today! He’s the guy that processes pretty much every single image that you see on BME and does an aweful lot of the work that keeps the site going. Happy Birthday Phil!

    The camera was a Nikon D50 and just great timing by the person taking the pictures. Also, I’m aware of the mercury in the light bulbs, and we discussed it beforehand and decided we were willing to take the risk.

    Happy birthday (albeit belated). By the way, that is an amazing shot. I’d love to get a shot like that.

    Facilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    by Jonathon
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    by Jonathon
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul

    One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.
