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.

    Ah. Roo still on the editorial team. Shame.

    Alas a positive change of direction is completely unlikely and we’ll still get women paraded as meat for the masses to rate.

    At least Shannon was partially educated and aware, alas Roo appears determined to continue the adolescent attitude towards women.

    “We need to replace all of these sexualised images with ones showing women in positive settings – ones that show the uniqueness and competence of women” Dr Eileen Zurbriggen

    In their latest research, The American Psychological Association explored the world the media creates for females. They focused on sexualization of women and girls and have discovered how it is occurring in the media all around us. Images with little to no requirement for sexualisation frequently had women in sexual poses despite the context or the primary (preferred) reading of the text.

    If this article was truly about the scarification (as the tags denote) then there was no need at all to show her breasts. Gratuitous and demeaning.

    Were this an article on sex or sexuality then the pose, picture and showing of breasts would have been entirely justified.

    Roo you are a puppet. Time to start taking control Mr Crumbs.

    MistahG, your right. If the picture was to focus solely on her scarification then her breasts would be unneeded in the picture. It’s a good thing the picture seems to be focusing on the model with her scarification as addition.

    Did I mention that it’s her choice to show off her body and breasts as she sees fit? Unless she’s REALLY tied up, which I doubt.

    If you truly believe that people shouldn’t be allowed to express themselves, stop expressing yourself.
    Some people take photos, some people write music, some people paint. Some people troll forums.

    I love the scars, and they contrubute well to the whole composition. Expressive, but not over the top. For some reason, the whole picture seems clean and rather classical to me. Congrats on the genes and what you’ve done with them =]

    Why are people over-analysing a really beautiful picture? 🙁

    It’s well composed, the girl is gorgeous, and her body on show gives her mods some context. A good photograph is far more interesting than just a picture showing her mods and nothing else. And she looks happy enough to be posing like that 🙂

    I love her scars so much! And she has beautiful breasts; the diagonal nipple piercings really work for her.

    And while I absolutely agree that women are over-sexualised in an unnecessary way by the media, it’s unreasonable to say that it’s always inappropriate. She looks beautiful showing off her mods and her body, and to me this isn’t an overtly sexual picture so much as a picture of a beautiful human form. Should we eschew Renaissance art because of its depiction of nude women?

    If she covered up her boobs then you wouldnt be able to see her lovely nipple piercings. I like the angles that they were pierced on. Maybe I will do mine on an angle like that…*starts thinking*
