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.

Sanctuary

Hey! When you’re done with today’s ModBlog entries (this is the last one for today), click here and check out my sister’s movie or I’ll set spike-dude loose on you! Clint, in the photo, is a custom leatherworker specializing in armour by the way if you’re wondering about all the gear. Sharp eyes will also notice his TeamBME tattoo.

    I heart spikes like those. All men should wear spiked leather gauntlets. Not even in a kinky way – just, all men should wear spiked leather gauntlets.

    Those are bracers. Gauntlets are armored gloves. And while I’m on the subject, the shin pieces are grieves. I’d love some contact info to buy.

    I really wish people knew how to spell…and if you’re going to leave a comment about a post, I think it should probably make it about the post. :/

    wow!
    can you get through the airport with that? 🙂
    It’s great when you’re in a queue. Then people wouldn’t get so close to you.
    hmm…

    Haha, I might be wrong about terminology, but at least I can spell it – “greaves” not “grieves” in this case :p

    Hey Shaaannon… I loved your little sis’s short. And you were right; it does make you a little emotional at the end. It had a great soundtrack to. Anyway, make sure you tell her in my exact words… haha, jk. By the way, hope she wins. I wish her luck.

    Ashleigh’s short is absolutely amazing, I wasn’t even sure what was going on for the first minute or so and I still felt emotional about it somehow… I don’t even understand how that could happen. The ending of it literally gave me shivers from when the child laughed and the narrator said “meeting someone who makes it seem all okay” until the very end.

    Absolutely stunning. I wish her the best of luck.
