BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

“Jimmy Choo rocks”, writes iam:Hellbomb. Tattoo by Bob Paulin at Studio 123 in St. Catharines, Ontario. Personally I go barefoot whenever possible, but I am not as evolved as you shoe wearin’ folk.

    If Sex and the City was still on the air, the producers should have given her a walk-on role for an episode.

    OK Hands up I admit to a shoe fetish. I get a buzz out of wearing a pair of very expensive shoes, not to mention the handbag.

    I dont think even I would go as far as to have a shoe with a brand named inked on me, even tho I have several pairs of Jimmy’s shoes.
