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.

Even more snakes!

Brünnhilde and Jenni‘s bling by Barry… Or if you’d like a less personal description, an adult female a. childreni, a female homo sapiens (affiliation: Vogue Body Piercing, Darwin, NT, Australia), and a 16mm bling eyelet from Anatometal.

    Whoa, it looks like theres an eye in the bling tunnel! 😮

    Could that perhaps be a vertical-inner conch instead? Hmnnn..

    Aha, so THAT’S what you meant about Anatometal bling. But are you also wearing velvet with that snake? 😀

  6. Lori Avatar

    It’s too hot to wear velvet in Darwin, and that’s not me in the picture anyway. 😉 But see how well bling coordinates with everything?

    Ooooh it’s giving me shivers remembering the sound of Brünnhilde hissing so close to my ear!

    cute bling, pretty snakey.

    and the inner conch peeking through does make it look like an eye… glad I’m not the only one to think so.

    hurrah for pareidolia.

    Awww… I love snakes so much. I miss my tiny little Dagon so much. He was a baby corn snake… but he escaped and I never found him.

    Strictly speaking, if you’re using the full species name, you should capitalise the name of the genus (including when abbreviating). Thus, it should be A. childreni and Homo sapiens. More, you should cite the full genus name the first time it’s mentioned, so people know which genus you’re referring to. Hence the proper description would be an adult female Antaresia childreni.

    Nice snake, too.
