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.

I wonder if anyone is going to wear a pierced corset to ModProm this year? (photo c/o iam:little miss strange; click through for another shot)

    Oh, come on – I dare say more than a couple of people will even be terribly embarrassed to discover others wearing the same ribbon!

    I’ve drempt of having a corset done for my fast approaching senior prom since I was a little girl, but unfortunatly with the hundreds (quite possibly reaching the thousand mark by June) of dollars I already have to shell out and the fact that here in Cape Breton Jwiz basically has a monopoly on the modscene meanin he can charge a rediculus amount of money for his time, it’s lookin like its not a dream that’s gonna come true =’(

    Look like it would be a fun, couldn’t go though.
    What is the rule with BME events anyway, do you have to be an IAM member I mean?

    Damn….I never went to prom šŸ™ Beautiful young lady. Sweet girl :]

  14. Giles Wallwork Avatar

    Shannon, ever considered a BME UK offshoot? Maybe Roo could do it?

    Just for things like a BMEfest UK or distribution of the shop items etc.

    awww, that is so cute. i wish my prom was half as nice. šŸ™

    someone take me to modprom!! šŸ˜›

  16. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    TeaDream – You don’t have to be an IAM member but it’s a good idea because then you can take part in the forums, etc…

    Giles – Roo is here in Canada šŸ™‚

    I don’t think we really need an ā€œofficialā€ BME branch in the UK, there’s already lots going on in the IAM community here – small and large suspension meets, big organised meets, small informal meets… Last year I think I went to about 6 suspension meets (in London and Norwich), at least 3 big pub meets (a couple in London and one in Nottingham), and countless ā€˜local’ meets organised via IAM.

  31. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Joker’s right — the UK has a great bunch of events!

    My high school has gone so far as to ban every last form of body modification.

    We aren’t allowed to show tattoos, have piercings besides the ears, and not allowed to have plugs or flesh tunnels.

    I’m going to press my luck eventually with some large pinchers, however.

    I’m currently at 10g, and most teachers haven’t said anything.

    My ears, they are so smaaaaaaall.

    Anyway, if I had the money to travel, I would SO go to modprom :]

    #35 think yourself lucky! When I was at school girls could not have overly short hair and boys couldn’t have long hair. If you were a girl, you could wear only one pair of sleepers/studs in the lobes and no other piercing jewellery. The boys could wear one stud/sleeper in one ear so long as it was covered with a plaster. And we are only going back 2 decades here!!

    It tremendously bothers me, all the same.

    If there’s enough of a demand I might consider coming up to do some corset work for modprom.
    Check out m IAM page for some of the corsets I’ve done. More pictures on Clubtattoo.com

    Hit me up if anyone is interested.

    For some reason, I think the dude looks like a hobbit.

    And for more off topic commentary, my friends and I stayed home and watched Carrie instead of going to our senior prom.

    expel her? make her wear a wig?

    Would love to have that t-shirt – it’s beautiful! But that means it would be a $100 t-shirt, and nothing more, because alas I could never make it to Modprom. šŸ™
    Release the shirt by itself I say!
