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.

“I Hearty Marty”

I’m gonna say that in this photo one of the two looks somewhat more radiant and less beat down and sinfully play pierced out than the other!

    there are only three possible explanations-
    1. the photographer was de-pantsed the moment before the pic was snapped.
    2. he is blind and the eyes are fixed at crotch level because thats where they were looking at the onset of blindness.
    3. you have entered the twilite zone.
