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.

    Oops, I saw my MySpace link was broken earlier, and forgot to fix it.
    I submitted quite a few photos from this day, so I think they will be on the site whenever next update is?

    I reallllly love snakes, but have never actually held one, and would probably be scared.. but I have always wanted a corn snake :]

    Hahaha, Mr Will.. when me and my friend did this corset.. we made this joke, as we had recently been to see the film :] Infact it was probably the film, and prospective ‘snakes on an arm’ jokes that inspired me!

    How rude of me, I too thought the snake was real at first and was a little disappointed when I found out it wasn’t.
