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.

American Psycho Tattoo

“In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think I their undisputed masterpiece is ‘Hip To Be Square,’ a song so catchy that most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.”

And I think we all know what happens next. CHOP!!

    Bret Easton Ellis is wonderful. I think that was the first 1000+ page book that I have ever read, then I continued to read all the rest of the books that he has written.
