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.

Hey, yell at me about Photoshop!

    First person to say she needs to ‘eat something’ gets my spoon in their eye.

    I’m in that kind of mood today.

    Yes, Canadian. She’s got nice mods in general, and is all around talented (visit her IAM page for more).

    lala,

    why make a negative comment about someones body size? how is that constructive?

    it just reflects poorly on your personality.

    even if your personal preferance is for someone of larger size, why voice that so negativly? shes not just a picture, shes a real person, who will likely read this, just like many of the other people posted on here. would you say that to her face?

    and ps – she dont eat meat! maybe you would have better luck making friends by offering her a veggie burger.

    and BTW, sweet tats book 😉

    i can’t believe i called you book.

    I’m with just about everyone else. Her feet tattoos are -adorable-. The bees knees ones are also very nice. Though I’m wondering what’s on her shins?

    It is really clear (to me) that this girl is not just skinny but ill. My sister has (had) anorexia and bulimia too. I don’t like the pic
