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.

Personally I prefer maggots to toilets…

…but if you’ve seen how messy my bathroom is, you’d understand. Subtract the toilet and I’d love the picture. Meredith writes me,

"Hi Shannon — I'm catching up on ModBlog and I came across your "I'm not sure how I feel about toilet shots" comment (on the c'est la vie foot tattoo). So I figured I'd help you analyze those thoughts a little further with another toilet shot."

    I like the way shes sitting, cute look on her face too. As for the toilet shot thing I could take it or leave it, it’s not the toilet I’m concerned with.

    For people who don’t like toilet shots, do you think it would be better if the toilet lid were down and she were sitting on That instead? Like if you took the possible pissing factor out of it if the picture would become more attractive? Just curious.
