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.

Um, that’s kind of gross 🙂

    Hmm, this really doesn’t bother me. I mean, he’s just licking it… Whatever.

    On a side note, did the cutting end up being a big A a la ‘The Scarlet Letter?’ It kind of looks like that’s what it could be.

    Why is this “gross”?
    I’ve seen so many different things on BME that might be considered “gross” to people so I’m surprised to see this called that by you, Shannon.
