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.

Lucky number fifty seven.

It’s a day late and the quality isn’t too good (a friend has my DSLR and this wasn’t intended for ModBlog), but here we go..

It’s also a lot bushier in person!

    I’d rather see updates of Roo’s hair than seeing more dumbasses getting drunk and piercing themselves with buttons.
    Grow Roo Grow!

    i gotta agree with #44. I like the sentiment, but Roo, you need your own personal blog for this many posts

    Thanks Caroline, and everyone else :).

    Leavethepoliticstomadmen – The ‘fun’ is (and was) in italics.

    It was implying sarcasm, amongst other things.

    You have really got to love people who’s lives have to little meaning or interest that they have to bitch about not getting what they want out of a blog on the internet. I mean seriously, it is not like anyone is paying to view modblog, so why do they think they should have any say in what is posted. More power to your follicle follies and to keep posting whatever you want.

    Awesome beard Roo man. Off topic just for a sec, what’s with the little if any posts on mod blog in like..the past month? and even though there’s been SOME posts, why hasnt BME been updated? just thoguht i’d ask?

    ROAR

    Personaly I think it’s nice to see Roo’s progress with this =p.

    Slightly OT: What’s with the narly looking scar on the right side of your jaw?

  16. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    Buddy – Shannon’s currently posting over at Bodytwo whilst a few things regarding BME are sorted out. I can’t say anymore than that I’m afraid.

    ROAR – Car crash, bad car, no supper.

    Wow. Lets attack Roo now that no one else is updating, but it was fine and dandy back pre-whatever is going on now? Its not like Roo is writing out what he had for dinner last night and what his plans are for the evening later on, so I don’t really get the whole “using this as a personal blog” comments. He’s turning into sasquach for a good cause and trying to keep at least some semi-relevant things on modblog (other than drunk frat boys with band pins…) while this whole thing gets sorted. Grow up, or hey start your own modblog if you don’t like this one.

    More power to you Roo. At least the end is in sight.

    good evening modblog world
    in whatever shape or form our community currently exists. the important thing is that it still exists and this is due to an awesome dedication from comment contributors and the various founders.
    thank you very much for introducing me to everything from microdermals to scarifications. x

    TECHNICALLY, Roo is modifying his face with hair.

    Roo, you’re gorgeous, but when will there be more updates?

  23. shawn Avatar

    As a proud beard supporter (and the creator of Beardcon- the first BEARD only suspension event*) I love beards.

    Updates on GROWING beards however- when that is all thats getting posted (save updates about my own Scarwars) are a bit boring.

    So instead I’ll read a comic book.

    *Beardcon never ACTUALLY happened… but one day.. one day.

    roo, you;re cute with hair, keep up the good work. 🙂

    it might just be story about a beard, but modblog is a little scarce without it right now, dontcha think?

    This may be a rather unpopular opinion but as much as I love roo, I don’t like the beard. I want hairless Roo back 🙁
    It’s for a good cause though, so I’ll grit my teeth for the next few months. You’re doing great Roo 🙂
