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.

Happy New Year, BME

Thanks again everyone for a great year! And thanks to Corinne and Clio for this play piercing photo.

    Ah good. I wasn’t the only person to immediately notice the blood and have to search for the needles.. I blame it on the fact that the blood was on her cleavage, a natural distraction for many.

    .. Oh yeah. Happy new years to everybody.

    The first thing I thought was what was holding the top together. Then I noticed the white string.
