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.

Spooky, but sweet.

    Why thank you kind sir.

    I’d like to add that I’m am in no way begging for hand outs. I am a young woman living out on my own for the first time, transitioning through jobs and just bought a new car because I wrecked my old one and then it got flooded (iowa floods ’08).
    I am overwhelmed by the heartwarming comments, thought provoking discussions, and over all openminded-ness of this site. I honestly think it’s become one of my internet safe-havens and homes.
