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.

    Enjoyed the interview very mucho…lol how many times will I look at someone with pink hair and feel envy? Until I dye mine that colour…that’s how many, which is almost as many times as I promise myself I will suspend.
