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.

    Ouch! Out of all the suspensions I’ve seen, that’s the first one that made me wince. That’s some sensitive flesh you’re hanging from, girl . . .

    Finally we have found a partner for iam stamazole.
    We suspended him from his ass early last year.
    I wonder if these guys and gals had as much fun with it as we all did? (in a good way of course)
