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.

Reclining Nude

I swear, if I ever put out another album of music from BME/IAM members, it’s going to be so hard to choose an album cover from all the amazing photos that get submitted — for example, this great portrait of Monika (tattoos from Junior/JuniorInk, Warsaw) in Poland…

    If you do another album, you’ll for sure get something from me.

    The caliber of the music, this time around, will be tenfold what was on the last one. And the last one was amazing! That’s just the way musicians, and the IAM community, improve with age.

    Such a stunning photograph and gorgeous woman. Its such a shame that the constant labelling of “bbw” has to be attatched to every single picture of a non “uber thin” person.

    People are people, beautiful all around in every form. I think representing every body type is crucial, and the main intrest of most. Pointing out the difference kind of takes away from the point of wanting a unified group of equally beautiful people. The main point being UNIFIED, a blend and variation is what makes everyone who they are.

    Either way … fabulous FABULOUS photo and amazing all around.

    We really SHOULD put together another album, Shannon. The last one was a blast to work on (I had a track on it), and I’m itching to do another!

    Thank you very much for this posting, Shannon. I smiled upon seeing it, thinking, “Hey, someone like my mom and me on ModBlog. Cool.” And thank you to all the “beautiful” commenters, it gives me hope that someday maybe a guy won’t mind that I’ve literally got more to love. Thanks again, and God bless!

    Way to go, #34. You’re the only one who implied unattractiveness. Looks like you’re the one to be criticized on this one.

    And I’m willing to bet you’re at least twice her size, and have never even had a girlfriend.

    I think it’s wonderful.
