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.

    While i like the idea of doing a suspension, my aversion to being upside-down would prevent me from doing any sort of knee-pointed flight. Though, perhaps it might be a good way to really challenge my self-imposed limitations.. hmm..

    Probably for the same reason that people wear shoes on a porn set…

    @#7: suspensions ARE are a really good way to challenge any self-imposed limitations as I have found out. Best therapy EVER.

    I think she wear shoes because the surrounding would be rough on her feet. you wont want to walk on rocks and bugs.

    i am just blown away from all the comments people have left on here. i JUST found out that this picture made it onto ModBlog from one of my friends on facebook. but to answer peoples questions about the shoes…i went up fully clothed. i joke was made, taken one step too far…and i ended up nude. so i already had my shoes on and i wasnt just about to let someone try and dink with my shoes when i was hanging there. 🙁 but yes, i do know that it wouldve made the picture A LOT better if i didnt have shoes on.

    Wait a minute. fully clothed? I can understand getting a shirt, hat, bra, vest, scarf, etc… off. But how did the lower body become disrobed with hooks in the knees?

    Perhaps she was wearing a skirt. But where is the underwear? Unless she wasnt wearing any. Would a skirt and no underwear qualify as “Fully Clothed”? And does anyone wear cross trainers with a skirt while going commando?

    These are the thought processes that prevent me from sleeping.

    no names involved on who did it, but yes…i was wearing underpants, and a strapless dress which was easy to slip off and my underpants were cut off with a knife.

    Some people like rocks and bugs. ^.^ I personally prefer to be barefoot all the time. Even in rocky surroundings. If I have to wear shoes to go somewhere, I usually consider not going at all.
