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.

Telly, is that you?!

Perhaps this is the boyfriend that the lady in Jordan’s entry below was talking about!!

It’s certainly on the correct arm and I’ll scoff at anyone who says that Kurt Cobain wasn’t “a man made entirely of muscles and guts”.

    Some people say a man is made out of mud.
    A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood.
    Muscle and blood and skin and bone,
    a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong.

    Gotta go with Natalie on this one.
    Not to take anything away from Cobain–some of my favorite people are made of synthetic materials and fruit.

    Oh and by the way, is the “scoff” in italics a reference to a Nirvana song? Eh? EH? Did I catch it? There IS a song called Scoff on Bleach, even if that wasn’t an intentional reference. 🙂
