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.

A Chest that Sparkles.

    I fail to see why some people feel the need to return when it’s simply to lament the old ModBlog.
    It really fails to accomplish anything.

    That’s pretty rude, Candice. I don’t think you should insult those who contribute to ModBlog today.
