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.

    ahh michelle if you’re reading this i had no idea you were into suspensions. congrats on the experience. it’s louise (from sds? you were in a few of my courses and you were also at one of the workshops i coordinated for FEP – at the sex ed centre)… anyway that was too much information. add me on msn if you like i’d be interested in getting in touch with you ([email protected]). your friend ishrat’s library coordinator now. best wishes on your exams.

    alright i was so shocked at recognizing someone i know from class (world colliding) that i didn’t even give a proper response: i love the video and you look beautiful. i also read about your experience on bme. i’m glad you found such a comfortable, intimate team to work with. kudos to the folks at bodyartpro.

    Am I the only immature one who thought that the begining sounded like a porno movie? Nice video though! I envy her.

    Just to correct rawestrus. The suspension was facilitated by the always great iWasCured group.

    The location happened to be at the BodyArtPro warehouse space.

    Awww thanks all 🙂
    It was an amazing experience!!! And yeah I was whining at the beginning ( I had no idea it sounded so pornish, it just sorta had to come out ), but suddenly settled down and everything was hunky dory.
    Thanks a million to iwascured and Badur, cause the only reason all this is possible, is thanks to your efforts!!!! 😀
