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.

“The things we do for beauty”

Pauly just had Howie (LunaCobra) increase the size of his forehead implant — which of course you can’t see at all right now because his face is so swollen from the abuse (note: this is not unusual)… Either that or Ken Shamrock started getting piercings and tattoos and decided to spend some more time with Tito in the octagon…

    Puffy sucks. I’ve had minor facial surgery and my eyes looked just like that. Not a cute look in my opinion, luckily swelling is temporary!

    He does look like he got mobbed by a haggle of people, while I’m not a member of the fan club I do realize that he gets all of the attention he does because he has taken modification (especially the face) to a level not documented on here or anywhere else that I’ve seen, I mean how many people can claim to have the largest stretched nostrils in the western hemisphere? And aside from the nostrils (they seem to get the most attention, which is a shame in my book) he has very large very healthy looking lobes, his flats are stretched beyond anyone elses I’ve seen, and he seems like he is a very nice guy. I hope we would get along if I ever met him and atleast have some common ground to share…I’m not edge or vegan…so to all the nay sayers, your cup is half empty bitches!
