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.

Because ribbon was getting old

…from now on temporary corset piercings will be laced with a snake instead of fabric, ok?

    >>“if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at allâ€?

    Absolute rubbish. Criticism is the path to improvement, only by knowing where something has gone wrong can you get it right next time.

    I think in one of the Lizardman Q&A columns, he talks about the act where he pulls a real snake into his mouth and then out his throat.

    I wish it was a real snake too. :[
    I would be too scared to let one slither around my arm, though.

    Let alone in my mouth o_O

    It’s just that people who criticise on here ought to do it rather more kindly than the average moron, Giles. Modded people are too used to average morons.

    Giles, I think there is a fine line between saying something not nice and criticism. Saying, “That’s stupid, you’re just going to get hurt,” is not nice. Saying, “I hope he or she was careful and if not I hope others learn from this,” is criticism.

    I’m sure you knew that 🙂

    Jenni, don’t be frightened of snakes! (Of course, saying that won’t help if you have a real phobia of them, but I’ll reiterate that most are harmless. Try playing with a corn/other rat snake – you’ll see that they’re unfairly maligned creatures).

    Jenni, do you have any other pictures of this? It looks really cool. Your myspace link is broken.

    As for the type of snake you could do this with, corn and garter snakes are small and usually very docile.
