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.

Screwed by Jewellery

We’ve discussed the risks of using poor quality/externally threaded jewellery before on ModBlog, but it seems a certain section of the community are simply too stubborn to heed the warnings.

    Liz – Nope, although I did adjust the levels et cetera to make it look “prettier”. The original’s on his page 🙂

    But to answer your question, lots of like costume places and halloween supply stores sell latex skin with random things coming out of it that you just attach to your face, that’s most likely what it is. I don’t think they’d be able to get an actual screw that large to stay on their face.

    Shell – That’s because WordPress is treating the *<* as part of a HTML tag, which it generally is 🙂
