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.

    ovaryaction: so perhaps gender bending is in the eyes of the beholder?

    I can totally appreciate that *nods*

    but regardless Kara’s one of the coolest people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing….Shit wait, that’s not right, no its not…I lost points for saying that, didn’t I Kara? lol

    Maybe the hat and the open pants give the genderbending impression? Lovely, Kara!

    I think Kara is gorgeous and I’m pretty positive I tell her that every single time I see her.

    Gender bending she definitely is not
    -this girl is very feminine in person… although in many aspects I think genderbending may make her appeal much stronger???

    Either way, I fucking love the shit out of you, these photos are great and I’d kill for you in a heartbeat!

    Fucking gorgeous.

    I think we both must be missing something.

    Kara is incredibly beautiful. Both in person and in this photo.
    I don’t think that her small breasts or hat(?) define gender-bending hahaha.

    Either way, I really like this photograph. Definitely screems Phil If I’m not mistaken.

    her panties not got a big enough band of lace?
    hat= gender bending?
    my favorite thing about this shot is that the pants are undone- not down and the little sly smile with the hat covering the eyes.. so naughty..heh
    the mods on the chest work well together-
