BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Fortunella Beware!

Written by

RooRaaah Crumbs

It’s much easier getting blood out of a Kumquat than it is a stone..

“So, last night I tried something I’ve always wanted to do.. I have mixed feelings how it turned out but I fucking loved the blood! It poured down from my forehead to my crossed legs, leaving a lovely mess of blood on the couch (which I adore). It didn’t end up looking the way I wanted it to but things in your head often don’t turn out the way you expect..”

Read on to see the aftermath!

And as your finger’s still hovering over the mouse button, clickthrough for a chin-shot.

    People are, by default, naked, there’s nothing wrong with not wearing clothes. Asking if something is ‘necessary’ is silly anyway, nothing is necessary! Plus maybe she didn’t want to get blood on her clothes!

    And I don’t think it effects the photos anyway. It took me ages to notice she wasn’t wearing anything because she has a stunning face! I’m going to stop rambling now!

    I didn’t even notice she was naked. Anyway on the second picture you can see blood trails running down her torso, if she hadn’t been naked her clothes would be ruined.

    While it’s cool to ‘just be’ naked, I don’t think this would be a very clothing friendly project, what with blood everywhere~
