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.

Penguins, Lobes and Automobiles.

Mrs. Penguin – 7/8″ lobe.

    I’m just a wee bit jealous of Tyler’s unique ear jewelry…..none of the penguins I have (currently) are small enough tfit into my lobes for a photo op 🙁 But hey, the Beetle did fit just perfectly!

    Penguins are awesome… There was a website where you could get a robotic pengun. Not quite the same… But still a pengun.
